From a. Workingman.

To the Daily LIGHT:
A citizen called at the LIGHT
Office today and with strong en-
phasis stated as follows:
We are brick masons Of Union
No. l, of San Antonio, which was
formed and organized for self-pro-
lection, but we desire to say, we
are tax payers and citizens, and, as
such, we are not under the control
of any Trade Council, whatsoever.
We are also deeply interested in
obtaining the great boon Of an
honest, patriotic and business city
government, that will not be the
slave and the tool Of the county
ring. We are also opposed
to the boycott set on foot
against candidates who may an
nounce themselves through the
columns of the LIGHT, and we
earnestly appeal to manly and pa.
triotic workingmen to despise and
disregard said foolish and unjust
boycott.
We desire a fair and square share
Of the brick work on the sewers,
and disclaim any connection or
sympathy for anarchists, in the dis
guise of workingmen, as we be-
lieve they are acting in the inter
est of the county ring, or trading
and specializing on their presumed
influence over the workingmen Of
San Antonio. A BRICK MASON.

TROUBLE AT THE POST.
Soldiers Dissatisfied With the Food
Served Walk Out.

In the "Army News" OF the
LIGHT yesterday appeared an &C
count of an occurrence that took
place at the mess hall Wednesday
evening. A reporter for tho LIGHT
met soldier last night and ques-
toned him about the troubles up
at the post.
"Well, there was a little excite
ment up there, that's all. When
six hundred men decide to do
something you can pretty safe
ly bet your loose change
that they are going to do
something and that mighty quick.
You see, the trou BILE is about grub,
and when ones stomach becomes
dissatisfied the uble is liable to
become more serious. Such things
as this are of frequent occurrence
at all the larger posts OF the coun-
try. A few years ago at Columbus,
Ohio, a mutiny was threatened,
and if the matter had not been
settled the garrison would have
been blown up.
ain former years it was custom
airy that each company have its
separate cook and dining hall, and
80 it is yet at several posts. Here,
however, the whole dining de-
partment has been CONSOLE
dated into one large mess.
There are nine companies
of about sixty men each, besides
the band at Fort Sam Houston.
One cook serves this crowd. AS
a consequence, our food is not half
cooked, and it's the same thing
every day. Formerly we got plum
pudding for Sunday, but now
they've chopped on us with that.
1 tell you, that's the reason the
twenty-third infantry left here.
They couldn't stand the grub. Pll
be glad when we get away from
here. In the month Of December
eight hundred pounds Of coffee
were saved by the mess at seven
teen cents a pound. The mess is
supposed 10 derive the benefit for
this saving, but instead we got it
where Marguerite wears her beads.
When breakfast was served we got
up from the table, and the COM
mand given, 'all outsider We
obeyed, and those that had money
went to restaurants to eat. | sell
dom eat at the mess hall. We got
better grub for dinner, however,
aud | hope the trouble is ended.
The matter is being investigated
by the officers"

conquering scrofula in whatever way it
may manifest itself is vouched for by
thousands who were severely afflicted
by this prevalent disease, but who now
rejoice over perm anent cure by Hoods

humor, OF it may attack the glands of
the neck, break out in dreadful running
sores on the body or limbs. Attacking
the mucous membranes, it may develop
into catarh. or lodging in the lungs lead
to consumption. Come as 1T may, a

A CONVICT LYNCHED.
He was Trusty and Assaulted q Young
Lady. III

He Was Trusty and Assaulted q Young
Lady. ER
TRENTON, GA, October 4.-Thursday
night Miss Maggie Henderson, daughter
of Colonel w. A. Henderson, prosper
GUS farmer residing near Carpenters
| Station, Tenn, on the Nashville and
Chattanooga railroad, who was visiting
the family of her uncle at Cole City, Ca,
was outraged and beaten INTO insensibil-
| ity by convict at the Cole City stock
ade. Miss Henderson had gone out for
walk near the residence of her friends
and was overtaken by the fiend, who had
been allowed by the guards TO go about
as trusty. Her throat was terribly lac
Grated and her skull crushed when she
was found lying in pool of blood.
Yesterday it became known that Neal
South, convict 'trusty," was the per-
petrator of the deed. Excitement ran
high. The news reached the Tennessee
friends of the young lady and the word
passed along the line that the negro
should be lynched Last night parties
were formed at Cole City and tonight at
I O'Clock, outside of Cole City, crowd
began to gather at the stockade. AT s
O'Clock 250 armed men demanded the
convict of the guards. The mob covered
the guards with guns and said they want
ed no trouble, but were going to lynch
the criminal.
Seeing their hopeless condition, the
guards delivered the convict to the mob.
He was dragged with rope about his
neck to the scene of the crime. He con-
fessed the deed and the father of the
outraged girl, who headed the, mob, cut
off South's ears as souvenirs and mutt
lated him otherwise in horrible man>
ner and then, while the Negroes hands
were held on piece of railroad iron they
were smashed, joint by joint, with
Dlacksmith's hammer until the hands
were shapeless mass of flesh and bone.
The screams of the negro and the sight
of so much blood frenzied the mob and
they emptied their pistols and Winches-
tiers into South's body. They then
threw his remains on brush-heap, fired
it and piled on fuel until all were con-
sumed, even to the larger bones.
Miss Henderson when assaulted,
fought desperately, and the left index fin
ger was bitten off at the second joint, the
pelvic bone cut horribly, her skull fract-
ured and one eye gouged out. She is
still alive, but there is no hope for her
recovery.

When person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothing so worries physician. Con-
sumptives would never die if they could
regain their usual weight. In fact there
would be No consumption if there was
no wasting of the system. The cause OF
this loss of flesh is a failure to properly
digest the food eaten Nine-tenths OF
ali our diseases date back to some dis
arrangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
stop this wasting of the body. 1t acts
by causing the food we eat to be digested
so as to do good, fer undigested food
does more harm than good. The Cor
