CuAHaEs IN POSTAL LAw.-Post-
naslsss have received Official notice
# ths following important changes
il the Postal lav, already in force:
l. All the newspapers are free to
The Subscribers il the county in
which they are printed and published.
This includes not only weekly pa
pens ito which the former law WAS
limited, but al periodicals from dai.
y to quarterly. In cities having the
carrier system, however, postage 10
charged - before.
2. There 10 now . uniformity in al
matters other than letters and news
papers, q third class, limited to four
pounds, at one cent for each two
ounces or fraction thereof. This per-
mits the sending of any sort Of mer-
chandise Except liquids and Poisons)
through the mails at the rate of one
cent for each two ounces, or sixteen
cents per pound, provided the pack
age does not exceed four pounds in
weight. Heretofore = package Of
such matter was limited to twelve
ounces. This is ! very important
1t will be likely to rev.
olutionize the transportation of small
packages and vastly increase the
number going through the mails be-
cause Of its cheapness. It should be
noted, however, that such packages
are 1t the sender's risk, as they can
not be registered unless letter pos
tage (twenty-six cents per pound) is
paid.
Change was also made in the rules
the salary Of ell Postmas-
tiers receiving less than $1,000 per
annum. The same law also makes q
radical change in newspaper postage,
in that all publishers must prepay
the postage on oil papers sent out Of
the county where printed. but this
provision does not 60 into effect until
the first Of January next.

HoRToN SENTENcED.-W. n.
Cobb went to Chicago last week to
attend - witness the trial of w.
H. Horton, the young man to whom
aMickey Mike" was in the habit Of
consigning his shipments from Iowa.
There were two indictments against
Hofton-one on account Of the goods
stolen from Louden, and and for those
taken here. The latter were quashed
BY the court upon the gro und that
the mere receipting for box Of sto-
len goods, when, Is in this case, the
accused never saw what was inside
and there was no specific evidence to
show that he knew anything Of it,
did not constitute . crime. Upon
the other indictment Horton plead
guilty, and, 1t the suggestion Of the
District Attorney, received sentence
Of one year in the penitentiary. The
lightness Of the sentence is supposed
to be owing to important revelations
concerning other rascality made BY
Horton to the authorities.

The New RAILWAY TARIFF.--As
would very naturally be expected,
the new freight tariff, which is made
by the laws of the State Of Iowa,
contains some singular inconsistent
cies, . few instances of which. as de-
veloped at our Upton freight Office
are related as follows:
The former price Of first-class
freight from Upton to Cedar Rapids
was IS cents per hundred pounds,
and the rule Of the company was to
bill no package or article at less than
100 pounds-so that it would cost :
man just as much to send two pounds
by freight As 100 pounds, namely, IS
cents. Now the tariff on the same
class If freight is 22 14-l0o cents per
hundred pounds, and the law COM
pek the Railway to bill each ship
ment 1t its exact weight and to
charge therefor the proportional part
Of the price for 100 pounds. Some
man on Tuesday shipped the wooden
part of . light buggy axle from Tip
ton to Cedar Rapids. BY courtesy
the agent called the weight FIVE
pounds tit really weighed about one)
and BY so,doing enabled the Compa-
ny to charge ONE CENT for shipping,
carrying and delivering the article.
By the same rule and in the same
way, for handling 80 pounds Of sam
pie coal which came here the other
day from Clinton, the Company re-
ceived four cents. Now when we
consider that the actual first cost Of
the stationary necessary for each ol
these shipments Gust as much, Of
course, - for q shipment Of twenty
tons) is about Eve cents, and that the
employees Of the Company, from the
depot agent on, have the same trouble
and responsibility, it becomes mani
fest that this rule is Ut the other ex-
treme, and is more unjust to the
railroad than the former one was te
the shipper.
On the other hand, by the present
classification of freight there are bu'
three classes, instead Of four, as. form
srly, which raises ell the lowest pricet
shipments one grade. This, togethe
with the change of tariff, makes thu
cost Of shipping car load of stone
from Upton to Red Oak $7.44. l

PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE.-The
thought that Upton is absolutely
without means Of successful resist
ance to the Gre 6end is not . new
one. These columns have often
borne witness to the fact. Periodic
ally, upon the occasion Of some dew
astating fire in some other town or
city, our citizens talk over the situa-
tion-that in case of . FIRE there
would be substantially no water to
be had, and that we have neither
pals, ladders, engine or organization
with which to use water if we had it.
The recent devastating fires in Chi
cago and Oshkosh,and more especial
~, perhaps, those in Iowa, at Wheat
land, lows Falls and Belle Plaine,
have again turned attention to this
matter, and this time ws sincerely
hope it may result in something more
than talk. One Or two large wells, or
reservoirs, conveniently located, are
suggested a. : source for supply of
water; and we are reminded that at
q cost Of less than $500 our sister
town Of Clarence has q hand fre-en-
CINE which two men can trundle any
where and with which water can be
thrown through 200 feet Of hose and
over three-story building. One of
these wells, at least, should be in
the Court Sduare-and, especially
provided the town should furnish
means for using the water, it would
be appropriate for the county to do
so much toward the security of its
valuahle property there.
A petition is in circulation calling
upon the town Council to act in the
premises; and we believe the feeling
in the town viii justify that body in
making speedy and liberal appropri-
alton to be expended in whatever
manner shall be concluded most eff
feotuai security against the enemy
SO greatly feared by ali.
