The papers bore the earmarks OF
Turkey, Greece, Italy and the Balkan
States. Their money, their foreign
coins Of gold, several checks and
money orders were all found intact.
They had not been pursued to be
robbed.
What was 1t, then?
There had been no drinking bout.
Neither wine nor spirits, or empty
bottles or glasses were found. There
was no love affair, apparently, at the
bottom of it. The men knew no wo-
men in this country. 1t may have been
the vendetta, who knows? But every
thing. to-day points to politics.
And now comes the story told by the
passports, that seems to point to polit-
cal murder. There were two pass
ports found among the belongings OF
the murdered men. One was issued to
young Demetri on January 25, 1905.

Strengthens Theory of Politics.
And this pointed to the politics of the
case. The Macedonian rebellion took
at once accepted this theory and went
to work on it. But the murderers had
covered their tracks too well.
This much the police believe:
That the victims were leaders of the
rebellion and fled to this country and
that their murderers were agents Of
the Turkish government. The idea is
that they fled here, we'll knowing they
would be followed, but hoping to escape
into the far Northwest. where perhaps
they might be safe. They went West
in the guise of railway laborers to es-
cape pursuit.
But those whose appointed task was
to kill were %cleverer than they and
were always close behind. Though the
chase led half way around the world,
the Turkish agents found their quarry
in an obscure corner of Minneapolis
and then went deliberately about the
job of killing. They bided their time.

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-
metris-iay III a dirty, muddy base
ment, where they had been dumped
by the murderers.
Not a thing was found on any of the
men to give absolute proof of their
identities. Even the landlord, H. Mag
nusson, didn't know their names All
he cared about was that the men had
paid four months rent in advance
when they came there a week before.
The men ate, slept and lived in the
little roms on the upper floor. They
never drank liquor and were appar-
emily of the most peaceable disposition.
They went out regularly every day
and returned with equal promptitude
in the evening.
Even the people who lived below
heard nothing on the night of the MUIR
der. It was only guessed at because
the men didn't appear on-the second
morning after the murder. Some one
notified the landlord and he summoned
the police. They broke in.
Peter Stuyanoff knew the dead men.
He was arrested as a suspect at first,
but there was nothing to prove against
him. In fact, he gave the police all the
little they do know. He said the men

THE ART OF THE ROSE.
To Make an Artificial One Requires
the Touch of a True
Artist.

Not many years ago there died in
Paris al aged countess, noted for her
distinguished lineage, her exquisite
personal charm, and her mastery of a
delicate handicraft which she had
raised to the rank of an art.
Madame de Beaulaincourt was a
skilled maker of artificial flowers. Mo-
only did her flowers meet with ready
purchase at high prices whenever, to
swell her charity fund, she offered
them for sale, but young girls whom
she taught as assistants were eagerly
sought by famous millinery houses,
and commanded high wages because
of their instruction.
Not beautiful is the equally skilled
and rapid hand of the professional
rose-maker of to-day. In THE Long
Day." the recent narrative by a New
York working girl of her early expe-
riepces III making her own living in
the great city, the author describes a
"star rose-maker" whom she knew,
and her work. This girls hand was
'calloused and hard as tortoise-shell,
ridged with innumerable corrugations,
hopelessly discolored, and with the
thumb and forefinger fiattened like
miniature SPADES" indeed, her right
hand had long lost all likeness to her
left.
st is the hot irons do that" the
rose-maker explained to her friend,
lco,,;n~ hnr ninrorc from tho fro and
twir.ing them in the air until they
grew cool enough to use. 1--WE use
them every minute. We crease the
petals with them, and crinkle and vein
and curl the outer edges. And we
always have to keep them just hot
enough o to scorch the thin mus
lin"
But she was not ashamed of her
marred hand, which earned her from
$22 to S25 a week all the year round,
and kept her in such demand that she
could never wen stop to take a va
cation. She could make a gross a
day of the common, cheap June
! roses" but she had also made roses
of which five were considered a good
days work-roses of IT'S pieces each,
with IS different sizes and shapes of
petals-and of which every separate
piece had to be put in exactly the
right place, and no other, or the
flower would be spoiled. Her COM
pan;on once asked how long it took
her to learn her trade.
I'm still learning" she replied. ut
was seven years before l considered
myself first class; and though I'm
at it now ID, l don't consider that l
know it all yet"
That was the true artistic spirit. No
wonder that her fellow worker de-
clares that, while anyone can learn
how to make the other flowers, 1.-The
rose-maker is born, and the thorough
ly experienced rose-maker is an art
list. Her work has a distinction, a
touch, a feel as she calls it, which

head when a money belt was found In
plain sight, containing $502, besides
many other articles Of value.
Finally the knives were traced by
trade marks upon them. Thomas Will
son, clerk of the Kelley Hardware
Company, in Duluth, identified them
as having been bought at the store
by a party Of six foreigners a week
before the murder. That these were
the six murderers, one for each of the
intended victims, there can now be no
doubt.
Plainly the dead six had been
marked for vengeance.
Their trail has been followed from
far across the seas to the hidden fast
ness Of the far Northwest by men who
evidently had sworn to kill. They had
traced their quarry to Albion, Mimi,
a tiny town, and from thence to Du-
luth. When the six came to Mime
apolis they were hunted still.
Had Fled Far to Find Safety.
Adding to the mystery, the vest
ments of some order, religious OF Sc
cret, were found in the house. What
had these to do with the strange
deaths? But most remarkable Of all
was the plain proof that the six had
fed halfway around the world to es'
cape their mysterious pursuers.
Passports proved this without doubt,

they had come so far.
The dead men were not caught en-
tirely by surprise. There are plenty Of
signs that they struggled desperately
against overwhelming odds. All the
furniture was upset, showing that
there was a struggle before the men
who had been aroused from their sleep
to go to their death had not given In
without q whimper. Every body bore
wounds enough to kill a dozen men.
Imagine 1t, then-the semi-darkpess,
lighted dimly by one feeble kerosene
lamp at the window, the silent en-
trance Of the murderers into the
gloom; the sudden awakening of some
one Of the doomed when his wound did
not kill him at the first blow; his cries
to the others, their sudden awakening.
too; the clash Of the steel, the cries OF
the unarmed victims as they vainly
tried to fight off the the knives, the
graphing, wrestling, biting, scratching
of men fighting weapons with only
their hands; the thrust at head and
heart; the death rattle of n after
another until there was none left to
die.

Evidences of Conflict.
1t was a sight to oerrafy when the
police broke in. The six were stone
dead, but there was plenty Of evidence
that every one had fought for his life
till, weak from loss of blood in the I'M
equal contest, he had fallen at the feet
of his enemy to receive his coup.
After satisfactory Identification had
been made, and the authorities had
made their preliminary inquiries, the
bodies were buried together. A Mime
apolis medical college attempted to get
them for dissection, by right of a law
allowing them the bodies OF all pauP'
ers without kith or kin, but when the
1902 was shown the college had to give
in.
The police have worked hard, but
nothing turned up. They have been
to Chicago and to Duluth, where there
are other M~acedonians, but not a single
clew has come to anything.
And now, "Who killed the six?'
seems to bid fair to go down into his
tory as n of the greatest murder
mysteries of the century.

Pathetic Sight at Morgue.
1t was a pitiful sight at the morgue
when poor Stuyanoff went there to
identify his dead friends. The sight
of the gaping wounds moved him to
tears. He knelt before each body and
made the sign of the cross as he
breathed a prayer.
Then he arose to his feet and kissed
each dead man on the brow. When he
finally came to the body of his cousin,
young Yovke, he was completely over
come. Great tears rolled down his
swarthy cheeks; his big red handker-
chief was soon soaked with them. He

his arms and kissed the still face

room shaking with grief.

in the cellar had ben dead. longer than
the others. This only added to the
mystery.
Both bodies were terribly hewed and
hacked. In all, the six bodies between
them bore more than 100 wounds, al
most any one of them sufficient to kill
any ~able-bodied man. There were great
splashes of blood all over the walls
and floors, and it seemed as if the
dead. aroused from their sleep, had
made a desperate fight for life, but in
vain.
Two big bowie knives were found in
the room with the four. Two more lay
in another room. A fifth, in its sheath,
lay in the basement beside the De-
metris. Then there was the Ratchet

SEES SEISMIC PERIL.

Chicago.-There are slight indica-
lions that Chicago may experience
an earthquake within a few years,
according to Professor J. Paul Goode,
of the University of Chicago geology
faculty. The presence of certain
species of rock in the earth inside
or near the city limits, he believes,
is an indication of a condition that
might result in the dismantling Of a
portion of the city.
There is no absolutely geological
proof that Chicago may have an
earthquake in the next few years"
Professor Goode declared. One can
detect slight symptoms, however.
Certain formations of certain kinds
of rock underneath Chicago might
be taken as an indication. An earth
quake is as simple as the breaking
of a timber.
Il believe that the seat of the
disturbance at San Francisco al
about seven miles below the surface
of the earth. It was quite probable
a slipping of the crust of the earth.
Generally one block of the crust
slips up while the other slips down.
The focus of the disturbance may be
noted by the direction of the cracks
in the Sierra Madra Mountains are
in the wrecked buildings. {
''The Sierra Madra Mountains are
young and are growing slowly, and
no doubt their growing was the
cause of the earthquake"
According to Rollin D. Salisbury,
of the university, California has ex-
perienced close to 1000 earthquakes,
Of which number All have occurred
in San Francisco.
Previous to 1887, 948 earthquake
shocks have been recorded in Cali
fornia," he stated. "Of these Alt
have taken place in San Francisco.
Since that date the earthquake rec
ord Of California, so rar as available,

In the heart of Minneapolis, busy

parently ~inoffensive men have been

of men pred to the ~unrayeling OF

discover a motive for the crime.

These are the various theories
formed by the police. And at theories
they stop.
All that is positively known is that

their graves in Minneapolis-all six
killed by orders of some n while
they slept.
Motives Apparently Absent.
Everything SENS to point to poll

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.

According to Professor Ulysses s.
Grant, head of the geology depart
ment of Northwestern University,
there is no city in the country in
which a great earthquake could be
more destructive than in San Fran
cisco, because the western city is
built on a solid foundation OF rock.
IF a shock Of equal severity had
occurred in Chicago" said he, 1T is
probable few buildings would have
been destroyed, because OF the clay
and gravel foundation of the city. 1t
is probable there may be smaller
shocks in the Western States for a
few days, and there may be consid-
cradle danger from tidal waves, for
these things are likely to come at
once.
I'm fact, it may be that so severe q
shock as the recent enc In San Fran
cisco may bring on a tidal wave that
will be large enough to extinguish
the flames along the water front.
Il cannot say that / think there IS
any connection between the eruption
Of vesuvius and the earthquake in
California, because the two phe-
nomena are OF different origin. The
latter is Of the sort that is caused
by sliding or slipping in the rocky
