Postmaster General Wanamaker Makes
His Annual Report
Postmaster General Wanamaker has made
his annual report. The most important
paragraphs touching the Postofice Depart
ment and its various ramifcations are these
which deal with the subjects of postal tele-
graph, postal savings banks and 1 cent
postage. Mr.. Wanamaker's position re-
garding postal telegraph is we'll known.
1t is deep-rooted conviction with him that
such a system would be of much greater
benefit TO the American people than to
leave the control OF the telegraph service
in the hands OF n practical monopoly Many
sided as this question Is the Postmaster Gem
eral has, he says, studied IL from every
point OF view. His report shows that he
has fully considered the arguments that
have been made against IL, andthat he be-
lieves he has successfully overthrow them
all. Upon the subject OF postal savings
banks the Postmaster General also treats at
length. His report shows the adoption OF
such auxilIares TO be useful I'm several
ways. Their establishment In small out
lying communities where savings banks do
not exist Will be- I'm the first place, an en-
enlargement TO thrift and economy. Many
millions OF dollars will thus be saved an
nualiy that are now, In the absence OF
proper protection, needlessly wasted. The
suggestion OF l-eent postage finds great
favor In Mr.. Wanamaker's eyes. The re-
900 annually. To divide the rate by
one-half would make, in his opinion, a def
icit OF SO. 900, 900, larger burden than the
country is now prepared to stand While
upon this subject the Postmaster General
explains that the business OF the other ex
ecutive departments, which is handled free,
would, IL 1t paid the usual postage, increase
the revenue of the postal service about

TIE latest on the Indian scare in Da-

son, N. d.:
The Indian troubles are causing much
alarm to settlers In remote places west OF
here. Citizens of Belheld, twenty miles
west, were surprised to see settlers with
families coming frem all directions, they
having heard that the Indians were camped
on Grand River Atty miles south. lead
ing citizen has arrived here from Beldeld
to consult with the authorities and learn
the truth of the situation. Your corre-
spondent has good authority for saying that
bands of Indians are congregating in the
Grand River country, and they act suspi-
clously. A mass meeting will be held there
and delegation will be sent TO confer with
the Governor. This place is contiguous to
an extensive stock country. The ranchmen
are several miles apart Should Indians
begin depredations they could cause great
havoc A mass meeting IS called at the
Court House here to take action toward
securing protection, which Is totally lacking
at present.
