Municipal officials owe it to their
constituents to know all that can be
learned about practical matters affect
ing the interests of the people they
serve. The authority on such ques-
tions in America is Municipal En-
gineering magazine, the central office
of which is at Indianapolis, Ind, and
it contains every month vast amount
of information, which as the Salt
Lake Tribune says, it ought to be
made the official duty of every mayor,
councilman, or other city officer, to
carefully read. 1t would result often
in saving the public from very expen-
sive mistakes. Citizens interested in
municipal improvement will find it
equally valuable and interesting. The
magazine comprises about 100 pages
monthly, and the cost is only 50. 90
per year. 1t is worth many times
this price.

GERMANY's ATTITUDE.
Will Fall in Line With Other POWERS
on "Open Door" in China.


Berlin, March 2S.-The Associated
Press has high authority Tor saying
that the government of the United
States has been sounding Germany as
to how far the latter country would
go toward maintaining the open door
in China.
This inquiry, which was lnltlated
prior to the trip of Admiral Prlnce
Henry of Prussia to the United states
was not made with the object OF eng
iting we'll phrased writings on the
subject, nor general assurances nor
even so-called guarantees, as the al
ministration at Washington, ACCORDING
to information here, thinks there mas
been quite enough of such dlplomatic
interchanges. But the purpose OF THIS
inquiry was to learn, for the guidance
of Washington, whether Germany, IN
any event, would take a resolute STAND
for equal trade opportunities. This
inquiry resulted in obtaining from the
very head of the German empire the
impression that Germany, while Will
ing to take identical attitude with the
other powers for the open door"
would not, in a final instance, oppose
something that Russia really desired.
This is the first principle OF Germany S
exterior policy, and it applies fully TO
the East Asian question.

Augusta. Ca, March 31.-Richard
Young, one of the negroes accused by
young Dover Fountain in his dying
statement of having attacked himself
and his mother on Thursday night on
the Ogeechee road, three miles from
Savannah, was caught by the residents
of the Ogeechee district and burned
at the stake.
A piece of railroad iron was driven
into the ground in a swamp and tht
negro tied to it with trace chains. A
brush heap was built up around him
and the torch applied.
The mob dispersed as soon as the
fire started blazing. No one remained
to see the negro die. Trustworthy in.
formation comes that the flames did
the work, however, and the negro's
ckarred body was seen by people who
went to investigate.
Negroes attempted to rob the store

years old, grappled with the men when
he found them in the room. One OF
them struck him with an axe, and,
later, when the mother ran to her
sons assistance, struck the mother

INCLUDE PASSENGER TRAFFIC
Railway Injunctons Issued at Chicago
So Construed.

Chicago, March 2S.-Executive Off
Gals of Western roads in charge of
traffic have informed their passenger
representatives that the injunctions
issued by Judges Grosscup and Phil
lips are broad enough to include pas
senger trafic, and therefore no cut
rates will be tolerated. This order
was issued, it is said, after consulta-
ton with general counsel, who stated
that there was no doubt that under
the terms of the order passenger busi-
ness was included. 1t is understood
that if no more suits are begun until
the present injunctions are argued
the officials of the IA roads now under
federal restraint will take pains to
bring to the notice of the interstate
commerce commission any violations
of the law so that criminal prosecu-
tions may be instituted. This attl-
tude, it is thought, will keep those not
under restraining orders in line

DULUTH TO KANSAS CITY.
Gulf and Manitoba Company to Build
Eight Hundred Miles of Road.

Gulf and Manitoba Company to Build
Eight Hundred Miles of Road.
Detroit, Mich, March Sc. H. Law.
renee has returned to Detroit from
New York with one of the biggest
contracts ever given to a Detroit con.
Germ. 1t is the greatest in point of
money involved. The paper binds the
International Construction company of
Detroit to build 800 miles of railroad,
extending from Duluth to Kansas City.
The total amount of the contract is
for $12,195,71112.
Most Of the money to be put into the
enterprise is foreign capital, one of the
principals to the contract being the
Societe Generate Franchise and Beige,
the great French Financial concern,
having its headquarters in Paris and
doing business in France and Belgium.
Another party to the contract is the
Gulf and Manitoba Railroad company
OF Iowa, which will probably be the
title OF the road, the name suggesting
that it is the ultimate intention of
the promoters to extend their proper
ty across the entire United States
from north to south.
The road will pass through Mime
sofa, Iowa and part of Missouri,
branch running to Omaha. Mr.. Law
renee said that work on the railroad
would begin without delay, the engi.
neers to go into the field this week.

TOO MUCH DIME NOVEL.
Two Missouri Youths Attempt tc
Wreck a Passenger Train.

Trenton, Mo-, March 31.-George
Bushes, aged 16 years, and George
Yound, aged 20, sons of respectable
parents of this city, made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to wreck eastbound
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific pas
senger train No. II about five miles
east of here by placing ties on the
track. The track at this point is on
high embankment and a derailment
could scarcely have occurred without
the loss of many lives. Both boys
were arrested and confessed. Their
motive appears to have been revenge
for having been put off freight train.
Dime novels are also believed to have
played part.

Waters Are Still Rising.

Meridian, Miss, March 29.-Eleven
inches of rain have fallen during the
past "a hours. The streams are raging,
many farms are under water, bridges
have been washed away and railway
traffic is, at a standstill. The wreck
OF an Alabama Southern freight train
near York, due to washing of the road
bed, has completely suspended travel
on that road between Meridian and
Selma Two trains were lost on the
Alabama and Vicksburg during the
morning, two lost on the Mobile and
Ohio and one lost on the New Orleans
and Northeastern, 20 miles south of
Meridian. No trains have entered or
departed from Meridian for SO hours.
Meridian is entirely shut off from the
outside world except that two Western
Union wires are still in operation,
and not a train is moving within so
miles of the city.
A fast freight on the Northeastern
railroad is under water and the crew
is in danger of being swept away.
Efforts to reach the train by boats
have failed, owing to the swift cur
rent. Two separate relief parties were
sent out to swim and wade streams,
but nothing has been heard from them
for "a hours. The water at Enter
prise IL miles south, is rising at the
rate of Is inches an hour. The south
ern section of this city has been under
three feet of water for "a hours and
many families have been forced to
leave their homes in the lowlands
and escape to higher ground. One
house was hurled into the stream and
carried away, but the occupants es
capped.
Port Gibson, Miss, March 29.-POrt
Gibson for the past SO hours has been
cut off from the world so far as rail-
road communication is concerned.
There have been no trains north or
south during that time.
The floods are general throughout
Southern Mississippi, doing a large
amount of damage. Claiborne county
has been one of the most unfortunate
in this respect.
Meager reports of a wreck at Car
Isle, about nine miles west of here,
reached here during the day, but no
particulars could be learned.
Big Black and Bayou Pierre are
rising, probably from back water.
New Albany, Miss, March 29.-The
rainfall for the last "a hours and the
wind for the last 3 hours have been ex-
traordinary. The waters in ITALIA
hatchie river has risen five feet in the
last two hours, washing away the long
bridge at the end of town. Water has
risen to the lofts of dozen houses
and inhabitants are on their roofs
awaiting boats which are rapidly be-
ing secured for their rescue. Trains
have been abandoned. Thousands of
dollars worth of damage has been
done in the country and the waters
are still rising.

Chinese Governments Mining Regula
tions for Foreigners.

Picking, March 31.-The govern
ment has decided upon mining regula-
lions under the terms of which fran
chises may be granted to foreigners in
any portion of China. These regula-
lions provide that the government
shall receive % per cent of the profits;
25 per cent of the output of diamonds
and other gems; Is per cent of the
output of gold, silver and mercury;
10 per cent of the output Of copper,
lead and zinc; per cent of the output
of coal and iron, besides export and
likin duties.
These royalties are regarded here
as altogether prohibitive.
