YESTERDAYS BASEBALL.

The result OF yesterdays baseball
game was disastrous for the high
school boys by the unusual score Of Y
to 4. The university team won easily
and at no time during the contest was
the outcome in doubt. 1t is generally
acknowledged that the only thing need
eddy the Astoria baseball players -
systematic field practice, and that. prob
ably more than anything else, accounts
for the poor showing put up by the As
torians in yesterdays game. There
were undoubtedly good players on the
field but the boys have permitted them
selves to get somewhat rusty. They in
tend to get together and do some whole
some work, after which return match
may be arranged.

also be made to establish line of stations
connecting Alaska and the state of Wash

| The Marconi company now has three
stations in active operation on the Atlantic
coast-one at SagapOnack, at the extreme
end of Long Island; another at Babylon,

THE P. 0. AT INDIANOLA
The People at That Town Establish
a Private Office at Their
Own Expense.

Indianola, Miss, Jan. 5.--A large portion
of this community is considerably wrought
UP over the action of the government in
closing the postoff1ce here. The partial
paralysis to business is felt more and
more.
To- day a private office was established
for the distribution of mail collected by an
Independent messenger service from
Heathman and Greenville. Both Of these
postoffices are being congested with mail
as a result Of the closing of this Office.
The independent Office here will be
maintained at the expense Of the citizens
No serious trouble is anticipated by the
more conservative people, but, precautions
have been taken by both the city and
county officials to deputize number of
men should the occasion demand.
Postoffice inspectors are here checking
up the accounts of the abandoned office.
A large number of people publicly avow
that they will not accept the negro woman
| as postmaster under any circumstances.
despite the inconvenience which is being
suffered.
Wayne Cox husband of Minnie Cox, the
negro postmaster, who is clerk in the
railroad mail service. passed through here
ON his regular run last night, but would
not discuss the matter. He has been in
the government service fourteen years
and bears a good record.
An authorized statement from the
mayor says that conditions are such that
| he would not advise Mrs. Cox to open the
| postoffice. The mayor stated that if the
situation at any time showed that the
Ewomans life; liberty or property were
jeopardized he would swear in a sufficient
number Of men to afford her ample pro
| lection. The undercurrent of excitement
extends to surrounding towns. A large
number Of strangers are here and more
are arriving by every train. :, )
