rain fall. The low ground has been
flooded, and drains have ben overtaxed,
and a considerable part of the crops
on the low land will be total loss. On
last Tuesday and Wednesday within
twenty hours the rainfall was over
four inches, and prior to that time the
ground had about all the moisture IT
would contain.
The early potato crop is poor in this
locality. The new crop retails at 81
per bushel
Mrs. Dorothy Hebenstreet, residing
southwest of this place. died Thursday
evening at the age of .sixty-five years.
Deceased had been an invalid for many
years, and leaves husband and a
family of grown up children, and many
friends to mourn her loss.
Patsey Walsh, formerly of this place,
now Of California, is visiting his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thos Walsh. He
reports short crops In California and
fruits excessively high.
The recent excessive rains have
called attention to the fact that the
open drainage ditch has many disad-
vantages, but in time of floods, are
preferable to take care Of the accu-
mulating water where a large area is
drained thru single main ditch, to
the tile drain.

Mail Car Fire.

Waterloo. July ia number of
letters addressed to Waterloo con-
Germs We're in the mail car which was
burned near Cherokee the early part
Of this month. Several of these let
from the postal department at Wash
ington, where they were sent after be-

are badly scorched and some OF them
were nearly consumed. The first to be
received were two addressed to the
Waterloo sSaddlery Company. One of
them contained check for $50. The

of a partially burned communica ton.
A parcel of checks, from the First
National bank at Sioux City addressed
to the Blackhawk National bax1k of
this city was in the burned car. An
itemized list was enclosed in the en-
velope and luckily the left end of the
checks burned. so that the name and
the amount were distinguishable. The
checks totaled $1,409.29 and were
drawn on various Waterloo and Cedar
Falls banking institutions.
The checks and other contents of
the envelope were sent to Washington
together with the other partially
burned mail that was saved. They
were received at the Blackhawk bank
yesterday in a government envelope,
having been sent here from the postal
department. 1t is quite probable that
other letters sent to Waterloo institu-
tions were destroyed and will never
be recovered
