Some Believe Remington Could Tell Who
Murdered the Shakopee Family.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 26.-The arrest of
Joseph Remington at La Crosse may
prove to be the starting wedge in what
at one time appeared to be the hopeless
job of solving the mystery which sur
rounds the murder of the Spearman fam
lily at Shakopee nearly three months ago.
There are those in Minneapolis who
believe that Remington could at least
give information which would be of
great aid to the authorities. Some very
singular things have come to light since
Elevator Agent Flett was murdered at
Arthur, N. D.. three weeks ago.
1t is little singular that Flett should
have been shot from the rear, just as
the Spearmans were. The ball entered
the back of the head. 1t is another sim
gular fact that Remington AMI William
Spearman, the Minneapolis son who was
suspected by some Of numbering his aged
father and mother and little nephew,
should not only have been employees
of the same livery barn at the time of
the Shakopee murder was committed,
but were companions and very friendly.
1t is also coincidence that the bullets
which killed the Spearmans and Flett
were of the same pattern-thirty- eight
calibre

LA CROSSE, Wis, Feb. 27.-About
two weeks ago young man came to
town and registered at the Park hotel
as G. H. Smith. He was free enough
with his money in saloons and sporting
houses to attract the attention of the
police. Last Thursday a circular was
received by Chief Byrne describing Jo-
seph Remington, who, it was alleged,
on the 18th inst. killed and plundered J.
T. Flett, a grain buyer at Arthur, n
D., for the Northwestern Elevator COM
pany. From that time the man above
named has been closely watched. Tues
day night for the first time the detec-
tives got a good look at his left hand,
which is mutilated by the partial loss of
finger, the same being described in the
circular. After he retired officers went
to his room and raped, but received no
answer and were obliged to break in the
door He was arrested, and while
dressing was shown the circular de-
scribing him. This frightened him so
that he could hardly dress, and he made
no denial that his name was Reming-
ton, but charged another man with
doing the killing.
In the afternoon he was arraigned
| waived examination and Immediately
after made full confession to Chief
| Byrne. He said:
| killed the man single-handed. He haG
gone up in a hay loft and l followed him
When ne started to go out of the loft
shot him. He fell in the hay and L tool

No Motive Known.

Dies MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 26.-Not long
ago party of young men congregated
in a billiard hall at Glenwood. They
were in apparent good humor and
scuffiing and having good time. There
was some bantering talk, when suddenly
G. Ell. Crogan claimed that he had been
stabbed. The party Immediately broke
up, and Crogan walked two blocks to a
doctors office. TWAS not supposed that
his wounds we're serious. Since that
time he rapidly failed until Tuesday,
when he died. Allen Monroe is in Jail
charged with the murder, and it is
stated that he acknowledges the cutting,
although he claims it was an accident.
No adequate motive is known which
could have induced the commission of
the crime.

nv THE SENATE.

AS soon as the senate got into working
order lively little fracas was stirred mp
over the Duluth water works bill, which
was passed Tuesday. Senator Sanbez1a
renewed his motion to reconsider tha
bill and was bitterly attacked by Senator,
Daugherty, of Duluth, who said. his
constituents were up In arms over the.
matter, that they were dying by dozens
on account of the poor water furnished,
and then he wound up by charging that
Senator Sanborn was acting as attorney
for the water works company. Mr..
Sanborn at once called Senator Daugfi--
erty to order and asked that the words
of the latter's charge be taken dew,2.
little more talk and vote was taken.
resulting against the recall of the bilT.
Senator John Day Smith introduced q
bill providing that the State of Mime
sofa gives full consent to the purchase
by the United States government OF
lands within the state for the erection
of buildings. This does away with the
continual delay and annoyance of wait
ing for special act of the Legislature

States building and wishes to give the
necessary land or allow it's purchase bw

The first committee report was frona
Senator Wood, of the state prison co1n-
mittee, who recommended that the hil
prohibiting the st. Cloud reformatory
from cutting granite be indefinitely
postponed.
1t was nearly noon when the calendar
was reached. Senator Hompes elevator
bill was passed after he had amended IL
(by consent) SO that it should not be con-
strued as bringing the country elevators
under the control of the railroad and
warehouse commission.
Senator Geissell's memorial to con-
gress on the Columbus Thanksgiving
day question also passed without OBJ
lection.
The bill indorsing the Kelly edition OF
the statutes went through by vote OF
81 to 8, though Senator Keller, who
voted against it, asserted that there was
"a woodchuck in it.
Az 1890 recess was taken to 3. p. m.
Afternoon Session.
The calendar was again taken up
when the senate reconvened at p. IN.
Senator Browns Islander bill was de-
feated, only21 voting for it, and Senator
Aliens state lands overflow bill was IN
definitely postponed.
At 3:45 the senate went into COMMITTEES
of the whole, with Senator Kester In
the chair. Senator Donnelly's mortgage
taxation bill was first on the list. aud
the entire afternoon was taken up with
Its discussion. The bill was finally rae
commended to pass. The bill as recon-.
mended provides that no mortgage upon
real property shall be recorded until. Il

Bridegroom.

Bridegroom.
MASON CITY, Iowa, Feb. 26-An ex-
citing affair is agitating Clear Lake. A
week ago, contrary to the wishes of
some Of the brides relatives, Ed George
was united in marriage to Miss Clara
Young, daughter of r. O. Young, an in
fiuential citizen. When the couple re-
turned they received notification to leave
town at once, but, instead, determined
to stay.
Monday just before midnight George
and his wife were awakened by the
presence at their bedside of eleven
masked men clothed in white The in
truders produced revolvers and dragged
the bridegroom to the street, his wife
clinging to him for nearly a block. They
hurriedly forced him i'll the direction of
the railroad track, and, putting him
aboard a train, ordered him never to re-
turn. George, however, got off at the
first station, came back and caused the
arrest of Will Boyd and Joseph Guer-
don, who he thinks were among the
guilty parties.
County Attorney Clark, who is push
ing the case for Mr.. George, has just re.
ceived threatening letter signed

Discard the Ideal, Retain the Practical.
1t was the expressed ambition of the
good king Henry LII, of France, that his
subjects would become so prosperous
that every one of them might have a
fowl in his pot whenever he wanted it.
Every one DESTROYS of his country's good,
will heartily wish, not only that every
farmer can have fowl in his pot for his
dinner, but that he may have happy
family in a snug home, well-filled
barn, horses in his stables, cattle in his
pasture, sheep in the fold, pigs in the
sty, poultry in his yards, vegetables in
his garden, money in the bank and
peace in his heart. If new tangled
modes and methods have failed to bring
about this condition for him, let him try
some of the old fogy practices which his
grandfather found worked so well.
Between hoeing beets and onions, or
scutching flax and giving audience OF
half day to some small office seeker, stay
at home and turn an honest penny.
Ihere is more prOht In patcn OF onions
than in hundred political meetings, be
they ever so enthusiastic.
If there is ever supernatural interposi-
ton in favor of any ONE, it is extended in
behalf of him who employs all of his
time usefully. He uses for his advan-
tage all the means and opportunities,
however humble, that God and nature
have placed in his hands. There is no
royal road to success open to the
farmer or anybody else. Every one must
hew out his own destiny, and heaven
helps those who help themselves.

The consuming demands of

find an outlet. Is it not the wis

least a partial exchange of our
goods with other nations? Wheth.

farmer if he did not have a for

er agricultural products, which
he is able to sell to other coun-
tries? Even to-day his prodlct-
i've capacity in corn is so great
that he is tcrced frequently to
burn it for fuel. We hope that in
the future mole wisdom will
characterize the enforcement Of
