THE SPECIAL DELIVERY.
The Postmaster General decided to-day
that postal cards and packages are entitled
to free delivery when properly stamped,
and he has issued instructions to post

THE FESTIVE ROUNDS.
If the stories told about Rounds, the
Public Printer, are true, he is both an Of
fensive partisan and hypocrite. He
poses as reformer, and curries favor with
the administration and Democratic Con-
gressmen. Democrats now in the print
ing Office get very few good places. Only
one foreman out Of forty is Democrat.
When the new Civil Service Board is

August for outraging his eighteen-year-sld
daughter, had trial on writ Of habeas

Court this afternoon, and got bail fixed at

morrow. If the testimony for the State is
to be believed there has been terrible
state of affairs in the Norwood family.
The daughter testified that probably
twenty times this year, and sometimes in
the presence of her mother, her father had
attempted incest with her, and that he had
beaten her almost every day because she
would not submit; that he finally sc-
complished hrs purpose while she was in
bed and asleep, and that she and her
mother for some time were deferred from
informing on him by threats that he
would kill them. Her testimony was cor

LEMARs, Ia, June 17.-As reports from
the outlying districts come in it becomes
over Plymouth and Cherokee counties
was attended with great loss of life. The
killed so far as reported are:
Mrs. William Gano and child at Mar

Beaucaire and Mrs. Silas Forbes.
RISING STREAMS.
Streams have risen so rapidly that
physicians cannot visit their patients.
There will probably be other deaths and
injuries reported as the water subsidies.
The course of the tornado was as fol-
lows 1t reached Sioux City at 1915 and
Lemars at 10:45 O'Clock. 1t lasted about
thirty minutes, and was accompanied by
rain and hail. 1t then veered to the east,
and news has been received of damage
being done as far east as Waterloo. Until
12:15 O'clock in the morning it rained, when
another tornado from the northwest swept
over Lemars, more destructive than the
first, lasting an hour and a half. This
came from Southern Dakota as far west
as YanktOn. The track as far as can be
learned at this time was in the shape of a
letter X, with the base of the letter point
ing toward the east, the junction being
in Cherokee county, where the greatest
amount of damage was done.
THE DISTANCE TRAvERsED.
From Onawa, by way of Sioux City, to
Cherokee, it is nearly eighty miles. From
1anktOn to Cherokee 1t is one hundred and
twenty miles. From Cherokee to Fort
Dodge it is seventy-fve miles. This will
give an idea of the storms course. The
damage in Cherokee county will amount
to $4,000, iH Woodbury. county to 500, 900,
in Plymouth county to 500, 900, in Monona
county to $3.50, 900, and in Ida county to
$4,000. At this time there are reports of
damage in Buena Vista, Sac, POcahOntas,
Calhoun and Webster counties, but they
are not definite enough to form an esti-
innate of the loss. At Bayard and Fort
Dodge the storm was in the form of wind
