OVERRIDING THE LADY ACT.

WAsHINGToN. Nov 27-There is
postmistress In one of ,he small
towns down in Texas who is giving
the department at Washington consid.
cradle anxiety. 1t appears that she
has established rules OF etiquette for
the government OF people who get
their mail ut her Office which are not
altogether satisfactory either to the
Texans or to the government In 4
letter 10 Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow the sherin OF the
county in which The postmistress re
ferred to holds Office maEes the fol
lowing complaint:
We don't set mp any claim that our
manners are all they should be. but
we'd like to be reasoned with and
helped along. The postmistress here
is worthy woman, all right. and
there amt n thing against her charac-
ter. but she certainly is rude and has
ty. One day last week the mayor. be
ing some flushed up and careless, re-
fused to remove his hat and bow on
asking for the official mail. whereupen
his hat was shot OFF and plumb ruined,
and he left the postoifice so swiftly
and undgnihed that it told against
the standing of the town.
There's another thing we don't
think is fair The postnilstress won't
let niggers and greasers come In the
Office under any consideration. We
amt overload OF niggers and greasers
ourselves, but 1t is sure discommoding
for the leading citizens to have to go
to the postOiiice personally to get the
mail. just because this lady don't like
TO see anything but gentleman. We
don't like to appear fault-hnding and
picayunish where a lady is concerned,
but this one I'm telling about is sure
arbitrary and abrupt, and we'd like to
have her toned dowr .,Slae."
An inspector has Deen ordered to in
vestigate the case and report upon it
if after an interview with the lady his
physical condition shall be such as to
enable him 10 communicate with the

Durango won the tossup and took

choice of goals and they chose the
south goal. which gave them slight
advantage on account of the breeze
from that direction.
The FIRST half of the game was char
ac.erized by fast playing all through.
in which Durango had decidedly the
best of it. matting one touchdown.
The score for the first half was . to
in favor of Durango.

0 in favor of the home team.
Montrose came as strong team,
having, 1t Is said, played Telluride,
Canon City and ouray. besides two
picked-up teams at Muntrose this year
and came OF victors in every contest.
The Montrose men were heavier. on
an average. than the Durangos. and
all these circumstances combined
made the visitors the favorites, and
betting was 2 to | on their side Their
playing however. was characterized
by slowness and poor execution, and
ii was evident early in the game that
they relied largely upon moss plays

The Durango boys have u Il played

they have had has been VI ,iIout any

victory all the greater Noteworthy

Sackett says now since his team has
