Detective ]. 2. Fielding and Deputy
Sheriff G. G. Phillips returned last
night from Redwood Falls, where they
were working to secure evidence as
to who fired the shot that killed Jo-
seph Wheeler, the Webster City, Iowa,
man. While there they visited Nor
Ton and interviewed family that for
merly lived i'll West Mankato. not
very far from the place where Wheeler
was found, and who have since moved
to Morton. This family was unable to
throw any light on the case. and both
gentlemen are convinced that they
know nothing of it.
Follow Clews in This City.
Mr.. Fielding will follow certain
clews i'll this city, and if nothing de.
velops, his work will probably soon be
over. He states that the case is a
most puzzling one, and that if only
one or two parties were mixed up in
the murder they have had plenty OF
time and opportunity to cover ul
their part. With no eye witnesses, il
will lie difficult TO secure satisfactory
evidence.
Every clue thus far followed has
ended in the parties investigated be
ing able TO clear themselves from al
suspicion, either by proving alibis Of
i'll other ways.

OneLabor Union Getting It's Eyes Open

All the labor unions in the
country-in the world, in fact
should follow the lead of the
Brooklyn Central Labor Union
and urge the taxation of land
values into the public treasury.
If they did, the reform would
come, and then there would be
mighty little or no worry for the
worker about wages or hours.
The most wonderful thing in
the civilized world for the last
thirty years has been the inabil-
ity of the men in organized labor
to see that the man who gave
them the efficient means to their
most laudable ends was Henry
George. They don't even begin
to see this as they read the great
uproar over conservation of nat
ural resources. But then, smart
er people than the union labor
men don't see it, either. And
of course the really smart peo-
ple-the people who get the land
and the won't see it.
Their interest lies in obscuring
the great truth.

The work of the various State instit-

before the public eye. Practical dem
onstrations are to be made as to the
benefits derived from the large appro-
priations annually made in their sup
port by the legislature. This is to be
accomplished by exhibits of the handi-
work of inmates at the Ohio State Fair
TO be held in Columbus, September 8,
., 7, S and 8. The public generally is
unacquainted with the good results
accomplished by the different State
institutions. They know little as TO
how the State is educating and caring
for its wards. That all may have OPP
portunity of becoming familiar with the
work of the institutions, the managers
of the Ohio State Fair conceived the
idea of installing displays from their
farms, school and workshops.
Among the exhibits will be those
from School for Deaf, Boys Industrial
School, School for Blind, Girls Indus

Of SULLIVAN

Did you notice how former State
Printer John l.. Sullivan, of st. Marys,
was harpooned by the bosses when his
name was presented to the State con-
vention as a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for Secretary of State?
Moneys nomination was a part of
the Cox Burton deal. Despite Burton's S
break with Cox on the gOvernorship,
Cox gave 60 of Hamilton County's 81
votes to Mooney as an object lesson to
show Burton how Cox will stand
hitched" on a political deal.
But it was in the northwest where
Sullivan was sacrificed without mercy.
Phipps had withdrawn from the race,
but wherever he could throw a vote TO
Mooney he did so. Phipps threw the
entire vote of his home county, Pauld-
ing, against Sullivan.
1t is presumed that Phipps is to be
made assistant Secretary of State in
case Mooney is elected.
