ST.. JOSEPH MOI, June 14.-Sunday
was a terrible day for cyclones in the
northwest. Between 4 and 5 o'clock in the
afternoon no less than three twisters dealt
death and destruction in as many paths.
One worked at King City aud vicinity.
This cyclone started near Savannah, An
drews County. Its course was northeast,
through Flag Springs and King City
Many houses were destroyed and not less
than IL lives lost in Andrews County. At
Flag Springs and King City the destruc-
ton was much greater. The loss of life in
that vicinity was probably fifty men,
m and children. The public school
building at King City, a large brick, was
RACED to its foundation. Hundreds OF
horses, cattle, hogs and sheep were killed.
One man losing 80 cattle, another go sheep,
and another Z horses. Another cyclone
started at Winslow, DeKalb County. An
other started four miles northwest of Rosen-
dale, Andrews County, and passed east
ward one mile south Of Rosendale. An
other started eight miles northeast of Hop
kins, Nodaway County. 1t was one-fourth
of a mile wide, and nothing escaped de-
struction in its track. Many lives have
been lost in all the cyclones, and the de-
struction to property, which cannot now
be estimated, is very great.
Postmaster James Doing Good
Work.
NEW YORK, June 14.-The Times Wash
ington correspondent says of Postmaster
James work; Although Brady has been
out of office only three months, the an
nual expenses OF the Department has been
reduced over one million and a half,
while the interests Of the people have been
carefully considered, and not been injured.
The reduction on the annual cost of Star
Routes is, up to this date, $735, 900, Of
which $3.50, 600 has been saved in the last
80 days. There has been sufficient addi-
tional saving in the contract for supplies to
raise the total to more than one million
dollars. Large additional reduction in the
cost of Star service have been determined
upon, and are not included in the total
given above. A further reduction will be
made at the beginning of next month,
when contracts for some carrying service
will expire and not be renewed. And yet
the great expedited" routes have hardly
been touched. The reduction thus faI
made on the Star Routes are only the be-
ginning Of the work, which will be based
upon official reports. 1t is estimated that
the receipts Of the Department for the next
fiscal year will be $39, 578, 789, and it is be-
lieved they will exceed that sum. The es-
timated expenses are $40, 955, 432, so that
the expenses will only have to be reduced
81 $40, 634 to establish the Department on
a paying basis. This can be easily done.
There is nodoubt that a judicious and fair
and honest reorganization of Brady's
fraudulent Star Service will bring into
reality the dream Of a postal expert, a Pos
tai Department not only self-sustaining,
but affording a profit to the Government.
