out and he hurriedly grabbed UP his va
ise and overcoat and made a run for the
train. He SUCCEEDED in swinging on the
rear platform of the Pullman and the
train rushed out Of the station with him
hanging on TO the handrails. To his
horror and surprise he found that the

POSTOFFICE CLERKS
Disappointed Over Failure of Ciassi-
firatiOn EfiII

The clerks in the Dostoffice are very
much disappointed over the failure of
congress TO pass a classification bill for
their branch of the service. The National
Association of Postoffice Clerks have
been agitating this measure for several
years. but have, as yet, accomplished
nothing.
The bill for which the clerks have been
working provides that each clerks sal
airy shall be increased at the rate of 800
per year until it reaches q maximum
amount varying from Sl.e09 TO $1,4o0, &C
cording 10 the classification of the clerk
Under the present classification the ma
jority Of the clerks receive 500 Der year
aud few get as high as $50. There are
about fifteen clerks in the Wichita Office
Two Of them get see, two 500 and the
rest 5000 a year Carriers receive $50 and
Slo50. and railway postal clerks from
$3.50 to ST. $40 per year.
Another grievance which the clerks
have Is in regard 10 taking their vaca-
tons The law gives each man a fifteen
day lay-oT with salary. but fails to make
any provision for sub-clerks 10 I'LL the
vacancies So when a clerk is taking MS
vacation the rest Of the force have to
double up and do his work or else go
down in their pockets TO pay some one
else 20 do il.
Although postoffice clerks are not as
well paid for their work yet the part they
III in handing the mails is just as i'm
portant as that OF either the carriers or
the railway postal clerks. Take for in
stance the distributing clerks in TIE
Office here. Most Of TIE time there is
only one Of them on duty and ne handles

The mailing clerks also have a difficult

Caps by Col. Sam Hess.

The ambulance, four surgeons, the po-
lice patrol wagon, a squad Of special po-
hcemen and three undertakers will be a.
the Friends University campus next
the Eagle 'Nighthawks'' and the Police
nine Is pulled off. II is calculated that
the services of all will be needed before
the close Of the game.
After sparring for wind for several
days, the preliminaries were decided yes
terday. Everything is now ready, and
trouble will commence promptly at 2.2O
o'clock Monday afternoon at Friends
university grounds.
Both mines have been practising earn
estly. Last night Jim Fox was discover
ed in the alley back of Main street en-
deavoring to round himself into form.
He had all toes dug into the dirt and
was throwing five-pound scale weight
at a mark TO loosen up his glass arm.
Other members of both mines have been
training in peculiar methods best suited
for themselves, and gore will be spilled
profusely Monday. Excitement is run
ming high, and bulletins will be exhibited
down town noting the progress OF the
game and announcing the casualties.
Both mines will ride TO the grounds in
the patrol wagon. They will be uniform
ed and it will be an aggregation of beau
ties attired in knickerbockers which Will
put to shame the pedal extremities eX-
hibited by Sam T. Jacks for so many
years on the American stage.
The matter of choosing a referee is
still in allegiance. The "NighthawKs'
have decided to use the power Of The
press to induce him to give decisions
favorable to them, while the police swear
they viii run him in if he does not treat
them right. Several prominent gentle
men have been asked to officlate, but
have declined the honor. There is talk
of having the score of the game carved
upon a block Of granite and inserted in
the arch of the main entrance to the
city building, 50 it may be preserved for
the edification of future generations.
Col. Sam Hess has donated the Night
hawks caps of a uniform design which
will be worn in connection with black
suits The police will probably wear
