NATIONAL GOVERNMENT NEWS NOTES OF GENERAL INTEREST RUNNING THE DAIRY RIGHT Poople Willing to Pay Big Price for Milk If They Are 8ure That It Is Clean. (Dy n. M. STERLING.) Wo tako pains to lot our customers know how wo run things In our dairy and chargo two cents moro than wo used to get for our milk. Our cus tomers pay It without grumbling, for Ihoy know our dairy is lmmaculato nnd our milk puro and clean, and I believe wo could get an oxtra two cents If wo had tbo courago to ask for It. I know a farmer In Nbw Jersey who has built up a dairy herd of 200 cowb and by producing cortlflod milk gets 20 cents a quart and cannot sup ply tho demand. Of course ho has a big markot In Now York, you say. That 1b truo, but ho manages to sell ovory gallon of his milk In towns sur rounding his dairy, 17 miles from New York city. This goos to show that thero arc always enough people, even outside tho big cities, to buy milk which thoy know to bo absolutely clean, and at prices a groat deal high er than thoy havo beon paying for ordinary stuff dipped out of a rusty can by slovenly milkmen.

Washington In tho opinion o tho postmaster of ono of tho larger citlos In tho Btato of Washington, difficulty will bo oxporionccd in that stato it state, county or municipal bonds aro required as Hccurity for postal savings funds to bo deposited In national and stato banks under tho provisions of tho now postal savings bank law. Other forms of se curity, equally as good, in tho judg ment of this postmaster, will havo to bo accepted by tho government, or tho banks will bo unable, in a groat many instances, to rccoivo tho postal bank funds. Tho new law authorizes tho doposit of theso postal bank funds in proporly inspected stato or national banks, and provides further that "tho board of trustees shall tako from such banks such security in public bonds or othor securities, supported by tho taxing power, as the board may prescribo, ap prove and deem sufficient and necessary to insuro the safety and prompt pay ment of such deposits on domand." Tho postmaster in question, whoso namo is withheld at tho request of tho postmaster-general, has laid boforo tho department a suggestion which seems to havo considerable merit, and which may facilitate tho opening of postal banks in tho Btato of Washington if it is acted upon. Tho suggestion appears to have merit, and deals with a situation which must bo mot whon tho postal banks do gin business. FARMERS GET HIGH PRICES. Alaska Offers Truckgrowers Chance of Quick Fortune. Washington "How would you liko to be a truck farmer in Alaska!" This is a hypothetical question naked by tho United States Department of Agriculture in an official report from tho department. The report says: "Would you care to run a truck farm with strawberries selling at $1.25 to $2 a quart, cucumbers $2 to $5 a dozen; celery 50 cents each, tomatoes 50 cents to $1 a pound, and other products at proportionate prices? Or would you prefer gneral farming with a few pigs and chickens as a side line, with hay selling nt $00 to $100 a ton, hogs 30 cents a pound, young pigs 75 cents a pound, and eggs $2 a dozen? "Theso prices aro received in Alaska under favorablo mnrkot conditions, but the prospective settler should consider tho difficulties and cxpenso of farming as well as tho high prices of his prod ucts. "Alaska is not generally given much consideration from an agricultural standpoint, nnd yet, despito tho rigorous climate, a largo variety of grains, small fruits and vegetables is boing success fully grown." MISSION NOT UNDERSTOOD. Filipino Asks Dickinson for Boon Con gress Alono Could Grant. Manila Jacob M.

At Luccna a reception was given in honor of Mr. Dickinson and Governor Goncrnl Forbes, nnd ono of tho members of tho assembly who was presented to tho secretary urged immcdiato independ ence for tho islands. Another assom blyman, as alternative, urged a popular constitution and an elective senate Sccretnry Dickinson, in replying, stat ed thnt thoro wore limitations to tho position of a cabinot officer, and re grotted tho Filipinos apparently had been misinformed ns to tho significance and purposo of his visit. Ho told them thnt congress was tho only placo whoro tho politicnl status of tho islands could bo discussed. Ohio Man for Ballingor'a Job. Washington A porsistont rumor that President Tnft had offered the portfolio of tho intorior department to President W. O. Thompson, of tho Ohio Stato Uni versity, is attracting attention. It is in tho way of confirmation of tho roport thnt Sonntor Crano's recont trip into tho West was made for tho purposo of sug gesting to Bnllingor that ho should ro sign from the cabinot.

Temporary regulations havo been is sued explaining tho withdrawal of lands was subject, under the law, to surface acquisition, reserving the coal for the United States. William B. Newman, law examiner of the general land office, they were informed, had been sent to Lemmon, S. D., the head quarters of tho Dakota land district, to assist in expediting the settlement of the agricultural claims. CHINA TAKING NEW TACK. Minister Calhoun Reports Move in Empire's Government.

LAND SWINDLE ALLEGED. Government Issues Circular Warning Against Fako Roal Estato Mon. Washington Tho Interior department has issued tho following circular, warn ing homcscokcrs to bowaro of an al leged swindling band now operating in tno Indian reservation lands: "What probably is an organized band of swindlers, posing as real estato men, has boon operating throughout tho coun try, advertising in all leading papers, of tho opening oi 1,000,000 acres or more of government land in tho Yakima In dian reservation. "They mako statements that tho reclamation sorvico has practically sur veyed all reservations with a viow of placing tho land under water at the earliest possiblo date. Tho water, they assert, may bo put upon tho land for about $30 por aero, and that tho bring ing of tho water to this land will create in the neighborhood of 7000 new homos. Pictures aro boing distributed purport ing to bo grain Holds and orchards with in tho same section as tho reservation, comparing tho lands included in tho alleged opening to tho famous Nob Hill region lands near North Yakima, wncro apples, poaches and other fruit culture has attained a high degree of perfec tion. "Tho facts aro that the government docs not contemplate any opening on the Yakima reservation at this time, and perhaps not for some time. There is not anything liko 1,000,000 acres to bo opened, and none of tho land to be opened on entry is likely to bo irrigable or suitable for any purpose- whatever, except grazing. "It is not probablo that thero is a quarter of a section on the reservation, outside- of what will bo included in the Indian allotments upon which no person could make a living by farming. "It is rumored that these swindlers are offering to locato soldiers' claims for $25 each." HUNDREDS DIE IN FLOODS. Japaneso Capital Inundated, Tens of Thousands Starving. Tokio At 6 o'clock llonday morning it was reported the flood was subsiding. Tho casualties reported up to date are 385 dead and 500 missing. Tho damage to property is enormous. Tens of thousands of persons aro homeless and starving. One of the three embankments guarding Tokio has broken. Should the second and third dikes break, half the capital would be submerged. Tho threatened embankments are now being guarded by troops. Owing to the inundation of tho buildings, the Fukugawa gas and electric lights aro failing. Thousands of noraeless people aro being sheltered in the temples. The victims of tho Hood aro wnolly depend ent on public relief. Thousands have been unable to find shelter, and are ex posed to rain and hunger. The question of feeding the stricken peoplo is 'causing apprehension. The vegetable and fish supplies are failing, and the stock of biscuits already is nearly exhausted. The water of the Sumida Hiver is almost washing the bottoms of the bridges. AMERICAN MEN PLEASE POLAXRE. Women Dress Horribly They Lifted Skirts to See Her Legs. Paris Polairo, back in Paris once moro, does not bear the slightest resent ment toward Americans for advertising her as tho ugliest woman in the world. She said: "American women aro charming, but they certainly havo a sense of modesty that is purely their own. Would you believe, they oven pulled up my skirts to sco my legs. "No American man would havo al lowed himself to do that. I like Amer ican men immensely. Thoy are always well groomed, smart and elegant. Everything about him suggests ho has a daily bath. In dealing with women he may not havo a Frenchman's esprit, charm and delicate littlo ways, but ho is all right. "The American woman is too slack in her appoaranco. Sho does not make as good an impression as tho American man, and dresses horribly. She sticks an immense hat on her head, without knowing whether it will suit her or not. It is a fino hat, she thinks, so long as it is adorned with immenso feathers. Thoy aro mad for feathers over there. If they were not afraid of stepping on them they would have them swing to their feet. COLUMBUS, OHIO, POLICE BALK Rioters Are Ruling City In Streetcar Strike. Efforts Are Mado to Dynamite Car Barns Innocent Strikebreak ers Aro Arrested. Road Caves In, Ono Dead. Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyo. Whon tho last coach Saturday passed through Silver Gate, about three miles from hero, tho road caved in and tho coach with its load of peoplo sank 10 feet.

Sheriff Ilirstius totirod from the raid with his pockets, his hat ' and the fullness of his shirt stuffed with currency, and a swarm of bottors aro looking for tho bookmakers. Honduran Insurgents Fill Jails. Now Orlonns It is reported hero that scores of prisoners hnvo been thrown into Honduras .prisons following tholr allegod complicity in recont uprisings there. Rumors horo aro that Prosidont Dnvila has issued a statement declaring that insurrectionary movements have boon completely quellod. Wholosalo ar rests of allogou lpaders in the movement against tho government aro boing mado, it is said. Columbus, O. Rioting in a mild form was resumod early Sunday with tao ef forts of the traction company to movo its cars. Tho police, wbilo not display ing any energy in suppressing the dis order, woro especially active in their treatment of tho strikebreakers. One woman, brought here as cook for tho strikebreakers, was arrested on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. Sho had in her possession a rovolvor, but insisted sho would not uso it unless necessary to protect hor life. Sho was subjected to torrents of vile abuse by tho strikers and "sympathizers" as tho police took her to the stat.on with moro ceremony than tho occasion called for. In early morning riots, ono man was shot and five others were badly beaten by the strikers. In each case the jpolico arrived too lato to do more than arrest some strikebreakers, whose chief offense was that they had been spectators or had been beaten by thugs. 'i'ne electric lines between this city and Dayton are tied up, the company withdrawing its car fearing their de struction and probable loss of life in at tacks under cover of darkness. A few cars were operated in tho mornings by clerks and train dispatchers, but their experiences on one trip usually sufficed for the day. iollowing two attempts to dynamite the carbarns, closer guard was estab lished around theso suburbs. Mayor Marshall lias made no call for the re turn of troops, but tho Fourth Regiment is held in readiness. Tho mayor expects to resume the guarding of cars by the automobile system, having tho police men wno refuse to ndo on tho cars drive alongside them in automobiles, thuB preserving the dignity of the po lice, and affording the cars and their patrons a show of protection. The mayor also hopes that 2000 citizens will volunteer for guard duty, thus avoiding the "disgrace" of calling for troops. The traction company is firm in its stand, and says it will not yield to the demands of the demagogues, even to make political capital for the mayor and those backing him. The public general ly is disgusted with the actions of the police, and thero is an insistent demand that every man who had sworn to do his duty in protecting lif and property, and who refused to do either, be imme diately dismissed from tho force. It is altogether likely, after the strike is ended, that the mayor will be forced by public opinion to take some radical steps along this line, as the taxpayers have lost faith in the police force. Strikers continue their activities, and the police were kept busy responding to riot calls. A woman was hit by a stone and seriously injured while riding on an East Side car. Eight more police men joined the police mutiny against riding on cars. The strike was extend ed at Springfield, because the company officials refused to reinstate nine out of thirteen men recently discharged. BIG WORLD'S FAIR BURNS. Loss at Brussels May Reach $100,000, 000 Nolhlng Saved. Brussels Ono of the costliest confla grations in European history wiped out the Belgian exposition Sunday night, entailing an enormous loss, estimated at $100,000,000. So far as known only two persons are dead and two score injured. The White City of tho world's fair, as the Belgians have called their 1910 exposition, early in tho evening was a mass of flames and now is smouldering ruins. A spark falling into inflammable material in the telegraph building, burst into flames, which, driven by a high wind, swept rapidly in all directions. Soon the Belgian, English and French sections were destroyed. Tho firemen and detachments of soldiers, called to tho scene, found themselves baffled by the gale, which carried the burning embers to all parts of tho grounds. To tho left of the main building arose tho picturesque roofs and spires of "Bruxelles Kermesz," a Belgian Coney Island, with water chutes, toboggan slides and scores of side shows. Miners' Scandal Hinted. Indianapolis John H. Walker, presi dent of tho Illinois minors, at a caucus of the Hlinois delegates, confessed that a number of delegates had boon offered international offices if thoy would change their position in regard to tho strike in Hlinois. Walker did not namo tho mon, whom ho said had been ap proached, nor did ho say' who made the offor. T. L. Lewis, president of the in ternational organization of miners, when seen, denied any such offer had boon mado. Tho convention voted unani mously to indorso the Illinois strike. Rato Increase Wanted. Topekn, Kan. A movemont was startod, hero by railway employes to socuro an increase in the froight rates. Petitions aro being drawn up, and theso will bo sent out over all tho railway lines in tho United States for the sig natures of employes. Theso aro directed not only to tho stato legislatures, but to tho interstate commorco commission. Tho plan is to got thousands of signatures in every state. Thirty-two Dio In Train Crash. Royan, Franco An excursion train from Bordeaux with 1200 passengers nnd running at a speed of 50 miles an hour, crashed into a freight train at Saujon. Thirty-two porsons wore killed and 100 injurod. Many of tho victims were Bchool girls.. Several of the pas senger cars wero torn to splinters. A split switch caused the accident.
