INDIANAPOLIS STRIKE.

Violence.

women encourage Scenes and ACTS OF
violence.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 20. Saturday was
q disgraceful day in the history Of this
city. Mobs at several times had snb-
stantial possession Of the streets, and
men and women encouraged scenes and
acts of violence. One woman displayed
amid the crowd black and red flag,
Haunting it about her head and then
hastily concealing it in drapery about
her breast,
The cars were started in the morning
and when one of them reached Wash
ington street, the mhin thoroughfare of
the city, a mob of 1000 people had
gathered. A burly negro was foremost
in trying to stop the car. The officers
laid hold of him to place him under ar
rest With a maddening yell the crowd
sprang upon the officers and the negro
was wrenched from their grasp. Police
Superintendent Calbert headed detail
for his recapture. They moved into the
crowd, moving right and left with their
clubs. Blows from clubs and fists were
rained upon the officers heads.
The policemen theu pulled their re-
volvers and pointed their muzzles at the
faces of the surging mass Of people.
The crowd parted ana the negro was
recaptured. Again the officers were as
saulted with stones and clubs, but the
mob covered before the grim revolvers.
In another part of the city two women
jumped aboard car, reached the driver,
threw their arms around his neck and
then gave him a terrible beating. An
officer rescued him, but the women got
away. All attempts to run cars were
abandoned for the day.

IHE APPROACHING CELEBRATION.-Now
that political matters have quieted down and
ceased to engross public attention our citi-
zens are again taking up the matter of the
celebration OF the glorious Fourth i'll a
properly enthusiastic manner. Arrange
ments have been and are being made to
assure all who attend royal good time ana
the different committees are doing every
thing in their power to make the celebration
q success. The day will be ushered in by
the usual salute at sunrise and the parade
which is to take place at 10 o'clock, will
contain large number of new and pleasing
features. The Grafton will be delivered at
the court house square by Ex-Governor
fhayer; and the other exercises will be full
of lntere It for ALL At noon there will be
regular old fashioned barbecue and in the
afternoon various sports and contests which
are open for all. On this day, also, the
corner stone of the new city hall will be
laid with appropriate ceremonies. One of
the first steps of the committee was to
secure the Marine band of this city to sup.
ply music for the day, and later the Phil
omath band was also secured, so that there
will be no dearth of music Everybody is
invited to come and take part in the celebra-
ton, which is to surpass any previous efforts

A SuRPRIsE.--Last Tuesday eve
nlng, while the Marine band was busily
engaged in practicing, the door of their
hall was suddenly thrown open and the
room invaded by large company OF
young ladies heavily laden with ice
cream, cakes and other delicacies which
they distributed among the boys in
generous quantities. Although taken
at such great disadvantage, the boys
recovered from their surprise in man
ner which showed that they were con-
posed of the right sort of material and
they at once proceeded to dispose of the
spread with all possible dispatch. At
ter speeches by President Turney and
]. A. Spangler and two selections by
the band the company dispersed, voting
the affair complete success. The bows
wish us to extend their thanks to all the
ladies who were SO thoughtful. It is
said that ''the way to a mans heart is
through his stomach" and we are quite
sure that the young ladies succeeded in
capturing every heart in the crowd of
band boys.

one will doubt. It has become al
most necessity to counteract the eff
ect of the building of bridge into
this county from the city of Albany,
which is nearly completed and will be
open in few days for travel. The
river is much more favorable for th-
construction of Il bridge here than at
Albany, the distance not more than
half as great AMI the bed of the river
lies SO there is no danger Of securing
or undermining the piers.
If this county would do as Linn
county has appropriate half the cost
of a bridge, this city could easily fur
Insh the balance, as the cost would be
less than half the cost of the Albany
bridge. The portion of country that
would become tributary to this city by
the building of a bridge is not only the
best part of Linn county but is unsur-
passed for fertility in the Willamette
valley. | sincerely hope that our city
! will reach out and take this trade that
lies at our very door, but large por-
tion of which we lose for want of a
bridge. We can well afford to ex-
change with Albany all the trade she
can get from this county by her bridge
for what we can get from Linn by a
bridge, and then be largely gainers.
l hope before another year passes away
we shall have free wagon brid &c
across tie Willamette river within til t
corporate limits of the city of Cor
wallis.
The electric light plant should be
Improved and enlarged SO as to supply
arc lights for the main thoroughfares.
The water supply shoull be increased
so as to furnish all parts Of our city
reasonable protection from fire. A
plan of street improvement, surface
drainage and sewerage should be ad
opted that would meet the wants OF
our city, and all this can be done with
out creating any bonded indebtedness
The provision Of the charter pro-
vidlng for the appointment of a chief
of police by the council, instead Of
his election, does not seem to meet
with general approval, and there will
probably be a move made in the 'nexl
legislature to amend the charter III
that particular.
In conclusion allow me- to suggest
that while there is no pay either in the
Office of councilman or mayor, yet it is
necessary to devote considerable time
to the business of the city in order to
secure "a good, economical government
for the city, and [ hope you will all be
as regular in your attendance on the
aneetings of the council us possible to
the end that we may all work together
