The following relative! to the state capitol building at St. Paul will prove of extraordinary in- terest. not only because of the pathos in connection with its publication, but because a world wide traveler, and man competent to judge declares ie building to be one of the archi- -ctural gems of the world. In part Mr. Curtis’ article reads as tollows: How the Capitol Impressed Him. “1 do not believe there is a more ' satisfactory building in the entire world than the new capitol of Min- nesota, which was designed by Cass Gilbert of New York, formerly of St.; Paul, and decorated by Daniel C. French, John La Farge, Edwin H. Blashfield, Frank D. Millet, Douglas Volk, Rufus H. Zogbaum, Edward Simmons, Kenyon Cox and other fam- ous artists. It was erected under the men, of whom Channing Seabury was | b an, with H. W. Lamberton, Ef John De Laittre, Charles H. Graves| and E. E. Corliss as his asso(‘iates.i Their names are engraved upon a tab-| let in the rotunda and they are en-| titled to eternal credit for the intel-| ligence and taste they displayed and for the sensible and sagacious man- agement of an enterprise that usually involves embarrassments and often scandals. “Glory of the State.” *The Minnesota capitol ranks with ! those at Hartford and Providence for | one other, the laying of the corner-| stone of the $2,000.000 Scottish Rite Temple with solemn Masonic cere- monies this afternoon.

Five thousand participated in the big parade through the city to 16th and S streets northwest, where the new temple is to be erected and where the ceremon- ies of the day were held. presiding officer are framed with two columns and entablature forming the { background of French marble of ‘a soft creamy brown, flecked with vio- let and red.

An eye witness to the tragery is on the stand this afternoon, Joe Klean- as, who was with the crowd going out of Kelliher on the night of September 30, when two men were shot and Kkilled. Tells of Shooting. This witness told of a quarrel in the woods; how the defendant had pulled a revolver and had started to shoot. The witness said he took to the bushes and that he heard two or three shots. After the shooting, witness said, he came back onto the road and passed the body of one of the men shot; that he took a lantern and con- | tinued on to camp. Defendant Shows Interest. The defendant is a young man. He sits behind John L. Brown appointed by the court to defend him, and watches closely the court proceedings. He is unable to talk English.
