Btinneapolis.-Aga the old saying
Chat murder will out" bids fair to be
dfsproyed.
In the heart of Minneapolis, busy
city of the great Northwest, six ap-
currently inoffensive men have been
cruelty put to death, and all the efforts
at nen bred to the unraveling of
gnzsfiy mysteries have been unavail-
sEg, either to find the murderers or to
discover motive for the crime.
The slayers have disappeared as COM
ptetely as it, indeed, they wore the
'cabIed Invisible cloaks.
Love
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
4hair graves in Minneapolis-all six
KILLED by orders of some one while
they slept.
Motives Apparently Absent.
Everything SENS to point to poll
'tics- Ii was not money, because the
mems money and other valuables were
sEIl found intact. 1t was not revenge,
s5scnuss they knew no one in Mime
aapoIis- 1t was not love, because they
TEaf 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
gJolice believe. What were the intri-
es.acies abroad no one dares surmise.
And dead men tell no tales.
The six were found lying quite dead
En- Il ramshackle old wooden house, No
2f5 South Tenth avenue, Minneapolis
So little known were they thereabouts
chat the police had hard time in find
Ing out the names of the six. Finally
III was found that two were father and
san, Nicolo and Kirle Demetri, and
chat the other foud were Kerstan
TovEe. Krivie Metie, Nukola Jaless
and Andri Jaless.
Bodies Not All Together.
The knives, the blood-stained
'nateheG, 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

Whisky in Australia.

Australians apparently have about
decided that If they are to continue
drinking British whiskies they must
have them pure. Five years ago the
annual consumption of Scotch whisky
in western Australia amounted to
about 100000 gallons. but now it is
not much more than 100000. The de-
crease is ascribed to adulteration.

MUNICIPAL DUTY DONE.

In passing the ordinance requiring
tha removal of oil tanks from the
City Of Astoria the common council
simply did its duty upon the accep-
ted principle Of minimizing the dan
ger to life and property within the
corporate boundaries And this Is a
high principle TO work on at any time.
In any place and under all circum-
stances. We are not willing TO ad-
NIT that the council was actuated by
any Ill feeling in the matter and that
those who voted to defeat the ordi-
nance. did SO from just as certain con-
victions of the apparent safety Of the
Standard plant here; so the measure
has become a law upon the simple
hypothesis OF public defense against
the possible evils inherent in the mere
existence Of such an agency in the
heart of the city. That 1t will result
in the absolute removal Of the plant
from the city, may, or may not, prove
true. By the time the year Of grace
granted the oil company TO put the
plant beyond the city limits shall have
rolled round the adoption Of some near
by locale for its new installation will
have been decided upon and the SER
vice It renders to the railroad and
steamship and river steamer people
will in no sense be modified except
in the matter of a new and accessible
depot, practically in Astoria.
There is much to be said for the
plant as it has been maintained at
this port. That 1t has always been
kept In the pink Of cleanly condition
and the danger Of fire and explosion
safeguarded at all times; the service
has be- entirely acceptable In the
commercial sense. and the petition so
numerously signed against its reno
val, by men Of business standing here,
was largely signed upon this predi-
cate, coupled with the passing good
nature Of men who were not disposed
to figure as inimical TO another mans
business in the same town. And the
lingering consolation Is always with
us, that whatever Of damage or loss
may be sustained by the Standard
Oil Company In the transition, it will
not seriously cripple the organization
nor defeat, in any degree, the course
of prosperity it is known to enjoy
