ton in the number of fatalities, today
and with a little spread OF the infection

ton was regarded as having hopeful
aspect. TIE authorities have not con-
cealed their expectation that for some
days to ccme there would be a daily

poftiCnate number of deaths owing to
The extent of main infected territory,

ance that the situation is still under

Rochester, n. H. Aug. 3.-The search
for Miss Mary A. Tucker, the missing
Providence, r. l., school teacher, con-
tinucd with unabated zeal, today, but
although the searchers have succeed
ed III tracing ner to Lebanon, Me-,
where she was seen. last Saturday, il
is now feared that the missing woman
has persisted. y. w. Eastman OF Lynn,
Mass, who is representing Rev. DR..
Faunce, the Stcpfather Of Miss Tuck
or. had 4 conference with the local
police authorities, today, and told them
to exert every effort to find Miss Tuck
er, DR.. Ftuncc having authorized him
to spare 40 expense to accomplish that
object.
At an early hour. Mr.. Eastman, ac-
cOmDa MED by several men, started for
East Rochester. from which place the
search viii he taken uD and carried
over the border line into Maine Mr..
Eastman learned before starting out,
today. that Miss Tucker was seen at
Pine Hill. Berwick, Me, Saturday at
ternOon, and. acting on the sugges-
ton of The local police, he sent another
searching Iarty to that place.
Mr.. Eastman has little hope of find
ing Miss Tucker alive. Her physical
condition, combined with the hard
slips she has undoubtedly suffered,
must have. he thinks, thoroughly tx
hausted ana possibly killed her. Sew
enty-hvc men participated in the
search. yesterday, and as large a num-
Der is expected to aid Mr.. Eastman
and the police, today.

The Pittsburg. Pa. builders ex-
change league gained another point a
few days ago in its fight against Or
ganized labor when the electrical work
ers. who have been on a strike since
January 1, signed the scale. This
makes six trades that have signed.
The master builders have decided to
ignore the union as body and intend
that every man before being employed
shall sign the agreement which con-
tains the uniform working rules of the
league as modified to suit the trades
that have signed up. This means open
shop in the full acceptance Of the

r THE LABEL LEAGUE.

The Woman'S Union Label League
is going to get busy. Lincoln union
labor should be prepared at any time
now to hear an alarm at the outer
portals announcing a visit from a COM
mittee of earnest union women who
are out looking up ways and means
to advance the cause OF unionism. This
was decided on at the meeting of the
League Monday night, and the commit
tee will be appointed before the next
meeting. 1t will be the duty of this
committee to visit the different labor
organizations and urge upon their
having their wives become members of
members the wisdom and necessity OF
the League and advance the cause OF
unionism. NJ. E. Mcknight. business
agent of the Teemsters' Union, said
that if he could be assured that every
union mans wife was member of the
League he would not be fearful of re-
sults-that the unions could have any
thing within reason that they asked
has had during the last few weeks and
demonstrated that the women were
able to do more practical work for
unionism than most Of the union men
themselves.
Two new members were taken into
the League and several short addresses
were made. The organization is in
good shape financially, but is still suf-
fering from a lack of interest on the
Part of those who should be most in
terested. The League will meet again
on March 13, at which time prepara-
tions will be made for a social ses-
sion calculated to arouse interest in
the work of the organization.

A Social Success That Also Helped Out
The Treasury a Little.

The Treasury a Little.
The Allied Printing Trades ball-the
first in the history of the council-hcld
ON February "a, was one of the most
successful social functions ever given
by craftsmen in Lincoln. Financially
it was not the success hoped for, but
there will be a neat SUN to put into
the treasury of the council. About
sixty couples enjoyed the evening, and
the use Of the word enjoyment is
warranted by the facts. The ball room
was decorated with the banners of the
Allied Printing Trades Council and
potted plants, and Quicks orchestra
provided the music. The grand march
was led by Mr.. and Mrs. Will Bustard
and was participated in by forty-three
couples. The program consisted OF
fourteen numbers, with several extras
thrown in for good measure. and each
regular number was named after some
trade, parsonage or shop talk. De-
parting from the usual custom the
printers tried to see how severely plain
the dancef programs could be mace
and the .re3ult was a program that was
as neat asfsny ever seen. The refresh
ments xete served under direction OF
comp Tee from Capital Auxiliary
