Terrific wind and Rain Storm

CHICAGO, June 25.- The Western
Union Telegraph Co. is in receipt Of news
that terrific wind and rain storm, which
apparently started in the vicinity Of Kan.
sas City, is now raging in Northwestern
Missouri, over the entire State of Iowa,
and in large portion OF Illinois and
Michigan. The wires are prostrated in
every direction, and but few te!egraphic
points can be obtained anywhere in Iowa.
The storm has advanced as iar east az the
line running between Peoria and Spring.
field, Illinois, and is now somewhat fur.
ther south than Springfield, and as far
north as Madison, Wis. At Peoria the
wind lifted the tin roof Of the Chamber Of
Commerce and hurled it TO the earth,
the rain flooding the interior Of the
building. The storm is raging severely
at Bloomington, where the rain is falling
in torrents and the wind is growing
stronger every minute. Severe hail and
lightning prevails along the line Of the
Northwestern railroad in Illinois. The
wind amounts almost to a tornado aud
appears to be rapidly approaching this
city, which it will reach, from present
appearances, in about two hours.
Desmoinea reports five hours heavy
rain, ending about s o'clock A. NJ, and at
about II o'clock the weather in Iowa was
clearing. No accounts "a 10 damage to
crops.
