Wild Demonstration ut Socialist Mass
Meeting in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Oct l3.-When the stars and
stripes were raised at the socialist mass meet
ing in NOrwaert's turner hall this afternoon
the flag was greeted with Kisses. There were
probably a thousand men and women in the
hall at the time, all the seats on the floor and
most of the seats in the galleries being filed.
The banner was brought out by the ianitor, and
when he unfurled it so that the red, white and
blue could be seen the kissing commenced. He
fastened the pole so that the folds of the flag
fell on the stage at the foot of those who were
to be speakers. and as he did so the kissing in
creased'in volume Probably half of those in
the hall Joined in. The red flag was then un-
furled and fastened on the opposite side of the
platform. Immediately the kissing ceased, and
was succeeded by burst of applause. Men
cried Bravo" aud women elapped their hands
and waved handkerchiefs
After this demonstration, Martin Schmeid-
llnger was chosen chairman of the meeting.
He introduced Serigus f. Shevitch OF New
York as the first speaker. Shevitch spoke in
German, and began by declaring the hanging
of the anarchists TO be the gravest crime ever
perpetrated in America This statement and
every statement of the sort that he uttered was
loudly apDlauded. He said he was proud of the
city in which that execution occurred, because
he felt that one day it would be the Pars-the
city of revolutiOns-of America. An awful
discomfort was smoulderng in the hearts of the
laborers. and would soon burst forth in fiery
revolution. He said il was useless and idle to
think the revolution would be a peaceful one.

LIMA, o., Oct. 1O.-Several weeks ago the
neighboring town of Lafayette passed a pro-

but he continued, and the town officials got out
an injunction to stop him. The Judge decided
in his favor, and he resumed business with
more openness than ever. Early yesterday
morning his saloon was bombarded by a crowd
of several hundred persons. They came
supplied with stones and sledge-hammers aud,
surrounding the place commenced TO storm it.
The doors and windows were broken and the
crowd rushed in. The bar was battered down,

ANDERSON SOCIETY AelTATED.
Prof. Isanogle, Married Last July, About
To Claim His Bride.

ANDERSON. Oct. 12.-ISpecial. Quite SEN
sation has been produced in society circles
over the announcement that is made public for
the first time that Prof. Walter Isanogle of the
city schools was married last Fourth of July.
The marriage has been profound secret until
to-day. The professor wooed and won pretty
country girl, the daughter of Samuel Bronneu-
berg, prominent and wealthy farmer of Union
township, this county. From some cause the
young lady's parents objected to Prof. Isan-
ogle's attentions and finally forbid the young
lady entertaining him. But the love between
the two was too strong to be thwarted, and so
they planned a secret marriage. The Rev.
w. III. Zeigler of the presbyterian church of
this city married them. The parents are as
yet in ignorance of the fact. Mr.. Isanogle will
make his first vieit to his father-in-law to-mor-
row. They will reside in Anderson.

BROKE THE RECORD AGAIN
WHAT AXTELL DID AT TERRE HAUTE.
The Three-Year-Old and Stallion Records
Broken mt One Time-SOld For the
Highest Price Ever Paid For
n Horse-Turf Notes.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. ia mile
in two minutes and twelve seconds is a
great feat for an aged horse at any har-
ness gait. When it was done by three
year-old stallion at the trotting gait it
means a record that will stand for many
a day; it means the acme of physical en-
durance, courage and all that goes to
make king of all horses.
The fourth day of the fall meeting
brought out a crowd as large and enthusi-
astic as ever a perfect Indian summer sun
shOne upon to witness an event that one
is fortunate enough to see in lifetime
the attempt OF the great Axtell to beat
the three-year-old record, 2:134, held by
the California filly Sunol. When brought
out for the warming-up heat he moved
with such freedom and determination
that but few thought the record would
stand, but that he would knock one and
and three-fourth seconds from it the Wild
est enthusiast did not dream. George
Starr sat behind Father John as a helper.
Williams nodded for the word at the second
attempt, and the great flight was
begun. With that smooth action that
marks him as the purest-galted horse that
ever lived, the first quarter was reached
IN thlrty-three seconds; the clip Is made
faster to the half In :054. "TOo fast,
says Col. Conley, and a sigh goes up from
the crowd, as it is felt that the drive is
made too soon; still the game colt goes
on, faster and faster. Thirty-two and
quarter is the gait to the three-quarter
post. With never a falter ne breasts the
hill and turns into the stretch. 4 shout
goes up, He will do It" On he comes
and without wabble or false stroke he
finishes the mile in PIP, thus at one
stroke reducing the three-vear-old record
one and three-quarter seconds, also the
records for stations at all ages. Pande-
monium broke loose, the stretch was
black with a shouting, yelling mob. Viii
liams was taken from the sulkv and borne
aloft on shoulders and cheer after
cheer went up for the gallant colt and

Steiner, secretary of the American trOt-
ting association; a. +. Bush OF Detroit,
and Col Conley OF Chicago. Their
watches agreed exactly on all fractions of
the mile. The watches of Judges Beau
champ and Moran told exactly the same
tale. The track is seven feet over a mile
by official survey.

CORVALLIS, Or, SEPT. 20, 1889.
THE LONDON STRIKE.

The great strike, which ended last
week in London, is the greatest ever
known in that city's history. 1t
started among the dockmen, who are
a shiftless set of men employed from
day to day by the great dock COM
panies. They demanded an advance
of wages, which was refused, and they
struck. Nothing, perhaps, would have
come of it and they would undoubtedly
have returned to work had not John
Burns, the socialist, got hold of them.
They were organized and marched to
Hyde Park, and the demonstration
attracted notice Soon the work of
the leader became apparent. Other
organizations joined the strike. The
wharfngers went out, the ironworkers
followed, and at one time it looked
like an epidemic. Hundreds of ves-
sels lay at the docks unable to unload,
perishable freight was destroyed by
the thousand pounds worth and Lon
don, with its teeming inhabitants,
was threatened with famine. Cardi-
nal Manning undertook to act as me-
diator, and it was largely through his
influence that the strike was settled.
The dock companies offered to give the
asked advance on the first of the year,
but the strikers refused and asked ii
to begin October lst. The present
settlement was on compromise basis
and November 4th is the time set foi
the demanded new wages. Thousands
Of pounds sterling have been sent tc
aid the cause and the strike has been
made the subject for political move
ments.

THE COTTON SEED.

Was there ever, says the Bankers
Monthly, such a history as that of the
cotton seeda For seventy years des-
pised. as a. nuisance, and buried or
dumped as a garbage, then discovered
to be the very food for which the soil
was hungering, and reluctantly ad-
mitted to the rank of utilities, shortly
afterward found to be to be nutrious
food for beasts as we'll as for soil, and
thereupon treated with something like
respect. Once admitted to the circle
of farm industries it was found to hold
tirirty-6ve gallons of pure Gil TO the
ton, worth in its crude state $14 to
the ton, om $40, 100000 for the whole
crop of seed. But then system was
devised for refining the oil up to a
value of 81 gallon, and the frugal
Italians placed Z cask of it at the root
of every olive tree and then defied the
Borean breath of the Alps. And then
experience showed that the ton of
cotton seed was a better fertilizer and
better stock food when robbed of its
thirty-fve gallons of oil than before,
that the hulls of the seeds made the
best of fuel for feeding the oil mill en-
gines, that the ashes of the hulls scoop
ed from the engines draught had the
highest commercial value as potash,
and that the "refuse" of the whole
made the best and purest soap stock,
to carry to the toilet the perfumes ol
Eubin or Colgate.
