MURDER is a YSTERY.
Edward Tilton, of Polk County, Found
Dead In His Wagon.

Edward llltOn, OF FOLK county, Fouhu
Dead In His Wagon.
DIES MONIES, Sept. 7.-Edward Til
ton, farmer, who, with his wife and
two children, resided n quarter of a
mile north of Highland Park college,
was found dead in a hay rack on a
wagon with which he had hauled a
load of hay to Des Moines, by Charles
Walker and Kenney Stiles, two young
men who reside on farms near the
Park Five minutes previous to the
finding of the body Tilton drove
down Euclid avenue toward home.
Some young boys few minutes later
found the team with apparently no
one in charge But when they had
tied it they found the body in the
rack. Blood was streaming from two
ugly wounds, one Immediately above
the left eye and the other on the left
temple The back of his head and a
portion of the neck rested upon a
piece of concrete stone, evidently
fragment taken from the curling
somewhere, but certainly not in the
vicinity of the tragedy, as there is no
curbing of that kind within three or
four blocks of the college. The body
was yet warm, but life was extinct

The Cleveland Leader" which is on

warns the strikers in that city that
they cannot win by violence. 1t de-
clares that they have gained nothing
by their iawlessness and have lost
much. A community like that of Cleve-
land will not be content to be long
terrorized by lawlessness The strikers
meet first the local police force. If they
overcome that they must meet the Ma
tional Guard; If they successfully resist
that they must meet the Federal arm
OF authority, which is bound to the
States to maintain their efforts to COM

backed by history, which proves that

THE CAMPAIGN IN THE PHILIP
PINES.

That we have not been able to hold
all the country over which our troops
in the Philippines have advanced is
very true, but on the other hand we
have not abandoned all we have taken
because of the numerical inadeauacy of
our force, or for any other reason. Our
advance northward from Manila has
been most successful and We have DOM
mated the rail line nearly half way to
Its terminus, and have not only taken
the chief towns in all that section but
have retained them. The enemy has
been dispossessed of his capital and his
main forces have been forced into the
mountains from which they emerge in
guerrilla raids. -
On the island of Negros we have com
plete and peaceable control and the
same is true in Cebu and in some other
of the larger islands and we occupy and
administer in the. chief city of the archi
pelago and have driven the Insurgents
from their strongholds in aCapfte prov
ince. But with small force such as
General Otis has. and part of it an un-
seasoned body, it is not possible to oc-
cupy the whole of Luzon. greater
body of troops must be thrown into the
island in order to garrison and hold
points of value as we take them, since
an enemy is not wholly defeated who is
able on the further advance of the vic
torious army, to reoccupy the places
from which he was driven. :.
Our honor, our obligations, the right
and justice, demand that we speedily
pacify the Philippines. That we will
do so we have not the Slightest doubt.
That we have proved our capacity to do
so Is undeniable.
