AND THE PEOPLE WERE THERE.
Major Lacey's meeting at Beacon,
Saturday evening, was one of the best
yet held in the county during this cam.
paign. AS an escort thirty members of
the Republican League Club, of this
city, went down, and at Beacon they
found the school house where the meet.
ing was held tilled with large and In
terestad audience. It was an audience
that went to hear plain aid honest dis.
cussion, and they got Whist they wanted.
Committeeman Tom Davis called Wm.
Beardsley to the chair, who apprOpri-
ately introduced Maj. Lacey who was
greeted with enthusiastic applause. He
made his presentation of Republican
principles clear and mastery, and Who'll
ly cindid and fair in all respects. 1t
was very winning speech and won
new friends and new allegiance to the
Msj)r. The free trade Britisher who
interrupted him got all the information
asked and probably more than desired,
but it was given with courtesy that
was unfailing AID truth that was alb
solutely convincing. Major Lacey's
canvass every where is on the same
broad lines, and every day is adding to
his list Of friends and supporters.

THEY STRIKE.-A dispatch from
Des Moines says that all the Polk coun-
ty miners are out on strike for an in
crease Of 10 cents per ton and demand
for bt- weekly payment of wages in
stead Of once a month. The miners
threatened TO go out few weeks ago,
butithey were plscated with promises
which never materialiZsd into any
thing more substantial, and at mass
meeting held last night a resolution
Was passet that no miner should 60 to
work until their demands were agreed
to, and tomorrow every mine in that
county will be shut down. A major
ity Of the operators ara willing to con-.
cede the demands of the miners and
are anxious for their men to return to
work, but the refusal of the other Op-
orators to make the increase In wages
will necessitste all the miners remain
ing idle under the provisions of their
order, which provides that when one
gang of men goes out all of them DO
likewise. The strike has a serious as
pect and trouble is feared. The miners
in the Des Moines coal mine held a
conference with their superintendent
Yesterday, which ended in angry words,
srintendent ordering the men
to take their d-d tools ont and he
would send for a car load Of negroes.
The miners lost no time in taking their
tools away, but say there will be troub-
le IL any attempt Is made to operate
the mine with imported men.
GREAT PACING. The free-foH-an at
Heerick on Wednesday and Thursday
was probably as he contested pac-
ing race as ever occ In Iowa. Lo-
cally it was very intere4 Ing because Of
our Hawkins Bros Ohamois being in
it. Seven heats were paced, two on
Wednesday and Eve on Thursday. and
all seven averaged a little less than 2:13,
and the track could have been better.
On Thursday the horses were handi-
capped the tirst half mile by q strong
wind. which undoubtedly cut down the
time about flVe seconds. the last half
being frequently touched In los and

the position OF the horses during the
