stock raising to back it up We are in hopes the
good times will be more abiding. The pros

and are the hardest worked men in Minnesota
They stand ON their feet from three O'Clock
in the morning until twelve O'Clock at night
and hardly have time to eat their meals. They
are overwhelmed with mail at Lacrosse, and
by the time they get this distributed they are
again flooded at Ramsey, and again at Alder,

of the Sioux City railroad. Besides this they

their wages, and it Is proper that the atten
ton of our representatives at Wa b ngtor
should be called to the matter.-Pteston Re

something, by increase of both salary ant
| conveuiences, to make the labors of these
faithful postal agents more pleasant.
