Hotspots Geothermal power may emerge as a vital energy source for future generations. It pres­ ently furnishes just less then one-tenth of one percent of our energy needs. Heat that flows from the earth's core frequently collects in so-called hotspots near the surface. When under­ ground water meets the na­ turally heated underground rocks in these shallow areas, steam or hot water results and geysers like Old Faithful go off. Harnessing this energy could produce low-cost electricity. Locating the hotspots and Transporting the energy from isolated areas to populated regions are the major road­ blocks to the- widespread use of this energy source. Corn is a native American crop It first grew in the Andes mountains of South America and then in North America. Colonists from Europe found Indians growing corn from the Eastern seaboard to the Rockies, with some plantings covering hun­ dreds of acres.

THE HAYMARKET BOMB Debris from the Haymarket bomb has been fal l ing on Il l i­ nois for 90 years. . In the l%0s radicals at­ tacked the police memorial in Haymarket Square. Chicago Mayor Richard Daley refused to permit a commemorative plaque to the slain workers by the Il l inois Labor History Soci­ ety to be placed on ci ty prop­ erty. The police statue was moved inside the nearby police stat ion; the Historical Society 's plaque placed on private prop­ erty nearby was defi led. Hay-, market l ias ceased to be a tragic event: i t is a symbol. The incident resulted from a combination of events: the re- emergence of the eight-hour ideal among workers; the ten­ sion engendered when a l iaiul- &il of wild-talking and only half-serious anarchists began exchangi ng i r responsi ble threats with the Chicago press; the eagerness of some elements of the Chicago police to crack skulls; and the burning desire of a st i l l -unknown and de- MR.

The eight-hour movement was revived by the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions ( the AFL's predeces­ sor) when i t resolved that the eight-hour day should take ef­ fect May 1, 1886. With en­ dorsement by the anarchist- t inged Central Labor Union, * the formation of an Fight-Hour Associat ion with a broad base of support , and the ti l re a t of str ikes if employers did not comply, Chicago l ived in grow­ ing apprehension as the ap­ pointed day approached. Trouble broke out on May 3 between the Lumber Shovers Union and police at the always- tense McCormick plant . August Spies, German-born and the leading intel lectual of the Chi­ cago anarchists , witnessed the affair and rushed to pen his inflamatory Revenge Circular. That famous flyer urged workers to "rise in your might . . .and destroy the hideous monster that seeks to destroy you." Chicago Mayor Carter Harri­ son visi ted a poorly at tended protest meeting near Hay­ market Square the next night and assured police that there would be 110 t rouble from the group. In spite of his assur­ ances, police Captain John Bonfield led a squad of police into the square and demanded that the already dwindling group disperse. At that mo­ ment a wild scream was fol­ lowed by the explosion of a bomb among the police. Seven officers eventually died, and in a wild exchange of shots 66 policemen and 12 spectators were wounded. Chicago e- rupted with anti-foreign and anti-radical hysteria. The spectacular tr ial of the anarchists began in July in the court of Judge Joseph F. Gary. The prosecution created the impression of a lurid conspira­ torial threat against the ci ty by the accused. I t did not seem to matter that no one knew who threw the boinb, that i t was quite obvious that the accused did not , and that to l ink them directly with the deed was im­ possible. Seven anarchists re­ ceived the death sentence;one, 15 years in jai l . The tr ial was a textbook case containing most if not al l of the actions deemed un­ consti tut ional by later Su­ preme Court act ion. Press cov­ erage kept Chicago whipped up to a hysterical pi tch; jurymen were seated who freely ac­ knowledged that they believed the defendants guil ty; and the tr ial judge displayed marked prejudice against the defend­ ants. The defendants were BOOKSELLER IN WOODSTOCK 110 E. Jackson YOUR PERSONAL BOOKSTORE WHERE EVERY BOOK IN PRINT IS AS CLOSE AS YOUR PHONE.

After the hysteria died down, men of conscience be­ gan to re-examine the case. Amnesty associat ions pleaded with Gov. Richard Oglesby to spare the men. He commuted the sentences of the two who seemed most contri te and al­ lowed four others to hang. Another supposedly com­ mitted suicide in his cell . By the 1890s public support was growing for a pardon for the three st i l l - jai led men. Lead­ ing lawyers, judges, writers, and intel lectuals gave their sup­ port . In 1893 Gov. John Peter Altegeld granted the men a complete pardon. Although the amnesty groups urged pardon on grounds of compassion, Alt- geld issued a r inging declara­ t ion condemning the legal process involved and personally at tacking Judge Gary's Conduct of the tr ial .
