Manhattan, Kan, March because
President E. R. Nichols of the State

Custodian Lewis, who was pushed and
buffeted about, sought refuge in the

to quiet the mob but his efforts were
fruitless. The students then almost
barricaded the door of the president

HAVE TOO MUCH MAIL.
Emporia Puts Up a Loud Plea for
More Around Town Carriers.


Emporia, Kan. March 2.-How
would you like to be the postman?
Loren Barnes, city carrier in the
First ward, carried on two different
mornings this week 113 and 81 X
pounds of mail, respectively. That
weight does not include the leather
pouch in which he carries the mail
The mail delivered in Emporia the
past week has been weighed to deter
mine if the town needs another car
rier. There are seven carriers on the
force, and Postmaster Hamer believes
an additional man is needed in Justice
to the town and to the carriers. When
a carrier has to lug more than hun
dred pounds it soon wears him out.
Loren Barnes, who has carried the
biggest loads of mail the past week,
was almost unable to make his last
trip today. Seven carriers can not do
justice to the patrons Of the office, as
often they can not get over their
routes in eight hours-the govern
ment not allowing them to work long
er. If 1t takes a carrier four hours in
the morning to make his delivery. and
he has to have an exceptionally heavy
load in the afternoon, and can not de-
liver it all in four hours, he has to re-
turn to the office the instant his eight
hour day has been completed. Occa-
sionally the carriers are only part way
over their routes in the afternoon
when their eight-hour day is up, and
some people have to do without their
mail until the following day.

HAPPY RESULTS
Have Made Many Topeka Residents
Enthusiasts.


No wonder scores of Topeka citi-
zens grow enthusiastic. It is enough
to make anyone happy to find relief
after years Of suffering. Public state
ments like the following are but truth
full representations OF the daily work
done in Topeka by Doan's kidney
Pills
Mrs. Rachel Codington of 1o07
woodward Ave-, Topeka, Kan, says
MT. Codington Is just as strong in his
praise Of Doan's Kidney Pills today as
he was six years ago when he first
publicly endorsed them through the
Topeka papers. Prior to using this
medicine he had been troubled with
kidney complaint for about two years.
The pain In his back was so severe at
times that 1t was with great difficulty
that he could straighten after stoop-
ing and at night his rest was much
disturbed. The least cold he took in
creased his suffering. Doan's Kidney
Pills went right to the seat of his
trouble and cured him Since that
time he has never had any indication
of backache or kidney trouble. This
speaks highly in favor of Doan's Kid
ney Pills when It Is understood that
Mr. Codington is 7S years of age We
have vet to hear of Doan's kidney
Pills railing to do exactly as repre-
sented."
