ECHOES FROM SALIVA.
Salina Happenings Always Interest
= Our Readers.

After reading of so many people
in our town who have been cured
by Doan's Kidney Pills, the ques-
ton naturally arises: "Is this medi-
Aine equally successful in our
neighboring towns?" The generous
statement of this Salina resident
leaves no room for doubt on this
point.
Jacob Gottschall, Salina, Kan,
says: 81 have taken Doan's Kidney

MORE BOYS GRADUATE;
GIRLS GRADES LOWER.

Salina, May For the first
time in many years the graduating
class Of the rural schools in this
county contains more boys than
girls. There are fifty-five members
of the class, twenty-eight of whom
are boys. Usually the class is d.
vided by two-thirds girls and one
third boys. Another record broken
in this class is that two highest
grades received were given to boys,
almost invariably heretofore held
by girls.

PSYCHOLOGY PROF. LAYS PLAN
Is Attacked by JanitOr and 25 stu
dents Come to His Rescue
They Give Wide Range
Of Stories.

Lawrence, may z.-ln the pSy~
chology department of the Univer-
sity Of Kansas there is professor
who stands so well with the mem
bers of his class that they will fight
for him, even at the risk of their
lives.
Prof. F. c. Dockeray was giving
his regular lecture to his class in
psychology this morning when he
got into an alteration with one OF
the janitors of the building, which
resulted in a free-for-all fight. In
this melee the janitor drew a re-
volver and several of the students
overpowered him and bruised him
about the face.
According to twenty-five eye wit
nesses to the affair the following
general account of the incident was
prepared. The janitor entered the
classroom and started to sweep
around the chairs. Professor Dock
cray objected because it interfered
with his lecture, and he quietly
asked the janitor to wait until after
the class was dismissed.
An unusual ambition to work APP
parently had overcome the faithful
for he continued to sweep,
and when the professor stood in his
way he ran the broom into his legs
with considerable force. A couple
of the students jumped up from
their seats and went to their in
structor's assistance. The janitor
finding himself outnumbered, drew
q revolver and held the students at
bay
AS is customary there was hero

Ralph RAIDER of Lawrence, sopho-
more. He sprang at the janitof and
pushed the revolver into the air. AS
le did so, RAIDER heard the revolver
discharge. He wFested the weapon
rom the mans hand and threw the
,urley university employee on the
cement floor.
The dozens or more co-eds in the
lass ran screaming from the room
md one of them tainted All of the
tudents swore that they heard the
hot and several of them told of 7
eeing the smoke leaving the end
f the revolver.
When the commotion was Quilted
nd RAIDER had been pulled from the
anitor, Professor Dockeray explain
d that 1t was an experiment. The [
light with the janitor had been plan
ed carefully. The shot of the re-
Oliver was from outside the build
ng by student who was watching Ii
he affair through a window.
The fact that every student in the
lass offered to swear that they
card the shot from the revolver inl
he janitor's hand, and some of them
aw the smoke, led to the conclusion
ought after. The purpose of the
experiment. was to show the unre-
liability of information even when

Iffair demonstrated that even this

endeavoring to clear my brain and
figure all this out. 1t was not SO diN-
cult to conceive what had occurred,
every bit of evidence pointing to q
single conclusion. Grant had searched
the house for Eric, and discovered no
signs of his presence; whatever had
subsequently happened between the
girl and himself, she had not felt JUS
titled in releasing me while he and
his men remained. They must have
departed soon after dark, well pro-
visioned, upon their long march toward
the Delaware, leaving Elmhurst unoc-
cupied except for It's mistress and her
servants. The fact that neither the
lady nor Peter had opened the en-
trance to the secret staircase would
seem to show hat the attack on the
house must have followed swiftly. 1t
had been a surprise, giving those
within no chance to seek for refuge.
There had been a struggle at the front
achieved entrance through the win
dow, and that had practically ended
the affair.
But what had become Of Peter? or
the girl? Who composed the attack
ing party? The Indian had been de-
spatched to Valley Forge with my
memoranda; probably Peter, the Irish
man, and a negro OF two were alone
left to defend the house. AS to the
identity Of the m~arauders, l had small
doubt; their handiwork was too plain
ly revealed, and those two dead men
remained as evidence. Rough as were
British and Hessian foragers, they
were seldom guilty Of such wanton de-
struction as this. Besides this was
the home Of a prominent loyalist, pro-
tected from despoliation by high au-
thority. The hellish work must have
been accomplished by n or more
bands Of those Pine Robbers" who in
tested Monmouth county, infamous
devils, hiding in caves among sand
hills, and coming forth to plumber and
rob. Pretending to be Tories, their
only purpose Of organization was pill
lage. Even in the army the names
Of their more prominent leaders were
known, such as Red Fagin, Debow,
West and Carter, and many a tale Of
horror regarding their d~epredations
