to do me any good. I kept growing
worse. I had been confined to my
bed five weeks, and I didn't think
there was much -chance of getting
out of it. Well, I tried Dr. David

Lingo was yesterday committed to Jail
In default of (17,000 ball to answer to
the charges of tampering with the
mail, using the mall with malicious in
tent, nbduction and forgery. Over
whelming evidence was brought to beur
against him before United States Com
missioner Morgan.
Lingo is accused of attempting to
carry out some dark scheme in regard
to Miss Catharine Vassar Berry, late
of Athens, Ala., but now of 2044 North
Twelfth street, Philadelphia. Miss Ber
ry some time ago Inserted an advertise'
ment asking for a position as lady'i
companion or governess, and received
letters purporting to come from Mrs.
Mabel Cooper, of Merchantvllle, N. J.,
offering her the much desired situation,
which she answered. Several letters
passed between them, and these letters
were delivered to Llnco on an order
signed Mrs. Mabel Cooper. It Is now
considered certain that Lingo was the
author of the letters, as there Is no
Mrs. Mabel Cooper in Merchantvllle.
There Is grfat Indignation against
Lingo, and threats of lynching are
freely made.

most Important assemblies of the
Amorlcan Pderntlon of Labor Is tho
lTth annuo I convention, which met
yesterday. President Samuel Gompers,
In his call, sets forth the objects of
the convention In this wise: "The se
verities of the industrial stagnation of
the past two years have not been
abated; the wrongs from which the
workers suffer have not ben righted;
the injustice Imposed upon our people
remains unremedied; the overworked
large mass and the unemployed many
are still testimony to the folly of our
age; the employment of children in our
factories and workshops, though modi
fied, lingers with us still, and the spec
tacle Is witnessed of idle men and la
boriously busy children; legislatures
are more concerned with the privileges
to the few than the rights of the many;
with public assemblage and free speech
Invaded, threatened or forbidden, and
the modern Judicial weapon of Injunc
tion utilized in the effort to crush la
bor." Secretary Morrison's report showed
that during the year 34,280 new mem

A fight against the re-election of

FORT SCOTT'S WATER WAR.

In Unit the Works,
Fort Scott, Kan., Dec. 14. Not a drop
of water has been served to the con
sumers of this city since Mayor Ilesser
took charge of the water works Satur
day evening. Emplyes of the water
company refuse to work for the city,
and no engineer can be found who can
operate the pumps. The city authori
ties accuse the company's engineer of
having "spiked" the pumps. The super
intendent of the works has served no
tice on the city that the safety of the
pumping station Is In danger because
of the Incompetency of the men who
are attempting to run it. Hotels, fac
tories and consumers generally are
compelled to obtain water from private
sources, which are Insufficient to supply
the needs. The trouble grows out of
the city having forced the water com
pany to sell its plant.
