eapolis.-Again the old saying
that murder will out bids fair to be
disproved.
In the heart OF Minneapolis, busy
city of the great Northwest, six ap-
parently inoffensive men have been
cruelty put TO death, and all the efforts
of men bred to the unraveling of
ghastly mysteries have been unavail-
ing, either to find the murderers or to
discover a motive for the crime.
The siayers have disappeared as COM
pletely as If, indeed. they wore the
tabled invisible cloaks.

Revenge
At the bidding of secret order
Because the Turkish government
wanted them out of the way.
These are the various theories
formed by the police. And at theories
they stop.
All that is positively known is that
six men, marked for murder, lie in
their graves in Minneapolis-all six
killed by orders of some one while
they slept.
Motives Apparently Absent.
Everything SENS to point to poll
ties. 1t was not money, because the
mems money and other valuables were
all found intact. 1t was not revenge,
because they knew no one in Mime
apolis. 1t was not love, because they
had no women, either as wives or
sweethearts, in this country.
There is but one explanation-they
were put out of the way by order of
some high political power on the other
side of the water. This is what the
police believe. What were the intri.
cacies abroad no one dares surmise.
And dead men tell no tales.
The six were found lying quite dead
in a ramshackle old wooden house. No
245 South Tenth avenue, Minneapolis
So little known were they thereabouts
that the police had hard time in find
ing out the names of the six. Finally
it was found that two were father and
son. Nicolo and Kirle Demetri. and
that the other foud were Kerstan
Yovke, Krivie Metie, Nukola Jaless
and Andri Jaless.
Bodies Not All Together.
The knives, the bood-stained
hatchet, the splashes of blood every.
where, the disorder. the signs of a
struggle, told the story as plainly as
words could tell it. Four of the bodies
lay about the front room on the second
floor; the other two-those of the De.

Two big bowie knives were found in
the room with the four. Two more lay

The Cotton Wedding.

A reader of the department asks for
suggestions for celebrating the first
wedding anniversary, which is the
cotton" wedding. The invitations may
be written with indelibie ink on
squares of cotton cloth folded to re-
semble note paper. A small tree for
the table centerpiece may be decorated
with bits Of cotton. and for place cards
make balls of cotton each inclosing
some trifiing souvenir. II cards are
played. hearts should be the game.
The prize can be delivered to the win

can be kept mostly in white by serv-

A Junior" asks for some hints upon
giving a reception to the seniors, the
colors being pink and white ard green
and white; also how to arrange a
punch bowl: the affair to he given at
a home fortunate enough to have large
porches.
The porches could be made most
charming adjuncts TO the rooms by
screening them from the gaze OF the
public with draperies of cheesecloth in
the class colors. Then If punch bowl
of china or glass is lacking, a good
substitute can be made by taking the
largest sized bread pan, covering 1t
with dark green crepe paper. Inside
this place smaller pan. and around
the rim put flowers and vines. Place
on table with ferns and palms for a
background: corner is the best posi-
tion. This could be on the porch, with
the musicians, If there is to be music
for dancing. Japanese lanterns. par
asols and fans make attractive ana in
expensive decorations. Instead of ice
cream, try an ice of orange or pine
apple flavor. 1t will be found much
more refreshing. Have a variety of
small cakes and dainty waters; they
are considered much better form than
layer cake.

 Meanwhile volunteers were called for to descend into the hold and extinguish the blaze there, The plainsmen re- ,ponded. Pulling their broad br!mmed hats over their eyes, tying their hand kerchiefs over their mouths and carry ing the hose. they went down Into the smoke.
 Abaft the hatch directly over the 1,sG0 cases of dynamite. the flooring was burning rapidly. Some of the cow boys returned to the deck and secured axes. At the imminent risk of being blown up at any second they tore up the burning blanks and tossed them through the ha tchways. They remained in the hold until the fire there was ex- tingGshed: then they assisted the crew in the engine room.
 The blaze broke out shortly after noon. It was nearly 5 o'clock at night when the crew, utterly exhausted by it's Ia bors. had the blaze under control. Some of the men had to be helped from the engine room to the deck by thei. comrades. The cowboys stood the work better than the sailors

Catching Fire Off Chilean Coast, Only the Cool Recklessress of Wild Western. CTS" Picked Up at Monteyideo Kept
 Steamer From Going Skyward.

Six hundred tons Of gunpowder and dynamite in the hold and q fierce and almost GEcontrolla ble fire raging in the engine room was the situation that confronted the officers, men and pas sengers of the steamship Pennsylvania when she was off the Chilean coast a few weeks ago.
 That those on board lived to reach San Francisco and tell of the frightful experience was due partly to good for tune, but more to the heroic efforts that they made to save the apparently doomed steamer
 At Montevideo the steamer took as passengers nine Texan cowboys. who had been touring the Argentine Repub- lie with a wild west show. To these men, reckless of life and limb the yes sel and her crew owe their salvation. for without their assistance, it is de- clared, all on board would have gone to a horrible death

Without warning q sheet of flame, volcanic in it's fury. burst from the funnel, sending great pieces of burning coal and wood high in the air. The men about the hatchvays fed for their lives. leaving the hatches un- covered. Into them fell the blazing coals, and soon the wooden flooring separating the lower and upper holds was ablaZe.
