few evenings ago, and the affair was a
great success from every point of view
Mr.. Ridge, in the course of his re-
marks, urged the buyers to give the
preference to Lincoln made goods
whenever possible, even If the price
should happen to be little higher
This is sound business sense, and
should be the policy of every Lincoln
lite. Mr.. Ridge declared that he was
becoming a crank on the subject of
patronizing home industry, and as an
example of his determination to follow
the policy said he always demanded a
Lincoln made cigar, and would inquire
until he got one.
Now let every Lincoln man, whether
merchant, professional man or work

woMAN's LABEL LEAGUE.
Engaged in Active Missionary Work
for the Label Now.

The Woman's Union Label League
is not making a great deal of noise
these cool October days and nights,
but the membership is doing some
almighty effective work for the label,
During the past two or three weeks
committee from the League has been
visiting the various unions and urging
more insistent demand for labeled
goods. They have been received glad
ly everywhere and given a close hear
ing. That their visits are productive
of good results is beyond question.
1t is a deplorable fact that the union
men of the city have not taken a more
active interest in the work of the La
bel League. It's membership is dis
tressingly small in comparison with
the number of wives of union men in
the city Instead of a membership of
twenty or thirty it should have a men,
bership of thousand. The League
will meet Monday evening, and an I'M
usually large attendance should be re-
corded.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Will Meet Tuesday Night and Inaugu-
rate Labor Fair Plans.

The Central Labor Union will meet
Tuesday evening, and it is almost i'm
perative that every accredited delegate
be present to take part in the proceed
ings A matter of great Importance
to the trades and labor unions of Lin
coin will come up for consideration
1t is the question of committing the
Central Labor Union to the proposition
to hold a great Labor Fair" in Lin
coin some time between now and
Christmas This is not a matter to
be lightly considered. Ii deserves the
best attention and thought of every
delegate to the body.
Other matters of Importance will
also come up for discussion. Among
them will be the matter of electing
delegate to the national convention at
Minneapolis. A delegate should by all
means be sent, with instructions to de-
vote his time to securing the 1907
convention for Lincoln. An honorary
delegate will be prepared to show the
central body how it can be DONE A
few days ago the editor of The Wage
worker wrote Secretary Written of
the Commercial Club, asking him if
his organization would cooperate with
the Central Labor Union in trying to
secure the 1907 convention of the
American Federation of Labor. The
reply received was more than encour-
aging, the secretary pledging himself
to take an active personal interest in
the work. In addition to this Secre-
tary Written made personal call at
The Wageworker Office and assured
the editor that the Commercial Club
was willing to back the central body
to the limit
This is matter that should receive
close attention. The national conven-
ton meets at Minneapolis on Novem-
Der ~.

INSANE ON A TRAIN.
r. f. Buckles. Demented Man, Makes
Things Lively for Officers.

A demented man named r. E
Buckles was taken off a Santa Fe
train Sunday noon by officer Wonder
~ and is now confined in straight
jacket at the Keith Rhodes hospital
where the physicians are trying to
save his life. Buckles condition Is
the result of an overdose and bad mix
ture of whisky, morphine and other
drugs.
From his incoherent talk and letters
found upon his person, the police
have decided that the patient either
escaped or was released from the kee-
ley institute in Kansas City, and was
on his way to Collinsvil1e. I. T. He
became so violent on the train that the
trainmen called the officer at the Santa
F'e depot. Buckles fought the officers
while being taken to the station, and
even after a nerve sedative had been
administered by DR.. Keith. who was
called at once, the crazy man succeed
ed in striking Detective Pavey in the
face with his fist. n attempting to
escape from the station he encounter
ed officer H D. Smith, who was just
coming in at the door. Smith was not
present when the man was brought in,
and the flying maniac who attempted to
knock him down at the door was quite
a surprise. Without stopping to ask
questions the officer grappled with him
and held him until other officers got
there 1t was after Buckles had been
struck Detective Payey. Later. while
he was being strapped to a. bed at the
hospital, he managed to strike DR..
Keith.
The mixture OF drugs and whisky
which he had taken makes the condi-
ton of the patient serious, and a sister,
who lives at Sedan. was sent for. Her
name and residence were found in let
ters carried by the demented man.
Relatives will reach Topeka some time
today.
While being treated by the physician
at the police station, Buckles seemed
to be in great fear that he was being
poisoned. and called upon everyone in
hearing to save him.
During the excitement of removing
him from the train, his valise was left
aboard, and the police were at loss
to identify him until two letters were

Willis Williams and Charles McClel-

pockets. The two negroes refuse to
