KANSAS CITY, April 4. About s p.
m. a tornado struck Kansas in the
northwest part, near South Haven,
Sumner county, and ball-like it bounded
through Sumner and Butler counties,
demolishing everything in its way and
killing and manning scores of people.
The telegraph wires are so demoralized
that it is impossible to get a 1.-THE of the
information necessary to make calcula-
ton on the death roll, which is fully
fifty. On the country around South
Haven, John Moorehouse and one child,
Mrs. Frank Shepard and John Dermas-
ter, wife and three children are reported
among the dead, while scores of others
are severely injured. Dwellings on
fully thirty farms have been demoi-
ished. Joseph Showalter's house was
destroyed near Wellington. aud thir-
teen people were badly injured. A
little north of this the storm wrecked
the residence of William Little,
killed him and four children and
fatally injured his We. Samuel But
terworth, another farmer, lost his home
and the lives Of himself and two grand
children. At the town of Towanda
ouly one house remains, while James
Bailey, John Blake, George Blake, Her.
chel Culp and J. D. Godfrey are known
to be among the dead. Many others
are missing and are supposed to be
dead. A dozen more are dying and
thirty Or forty are severely wounded.
These lay all night long in the
drenching rain without protection after
the storm. At Augusta William
Rhoades, Harmon Hoskins and Albert
Barnes were killed, Willie Rhoades be-
ing dragged from his fathers arms and
dashed to death against a tree. At
Homestead, John Closer, his wife and
child were killed. Other small towns
are reported demolished, but as there is
no Geographic communication the full
extent is not known.

THE STORM IN MISSOURI.

Great Damage to Property at ST. Joseph.
Several Persons Injured.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, April 4.-The storm
now raging in the West struck st.
Joseph at midnight and has inflicted
damage to the extent of at least $50, 900.
Nearly every house in the city is dam
aged. At least a dozen business blocks
were unroofed, as was the immense
factory of Tootle, Hosea e. Co., the. 500
operatives rushing panic-stricken to
the street. All the public schools were
closed before noon. At ! o'clock two Of
the buildings were unroofed and the
south wing Of the Everett school, one of
the largest in the city, was demolished.
Lilly Bushnell, aged z, was caught in
the falling walls Of a residence and
seriously injured. Lee Salisbury, a
teamster, was blown over with his
wagon and had his collar bone broken.
The steamers Yazell and Savannah and
the ferryboat Belle of BrownYille were
driven ashore and badly damaged. The.
business streets are strewn with wreck
age. The ST. Joseph mills and the Con-
net packing house were leyelled to the

will be upwards of 500, 1000. A passen-
ger train, running at full speed was
blown from the track lear Burlington
and four passengers injured. 3
Great Destruction in Nebraska.
Great destruction is reported from
Nebraska. At Sutton, Norfolk and
Plattsmouth the damage was serious,
but Beatrice, Elk Creek, Beaver City
and Nebraska City also suffered heavily.
AS in Kansas, little has been heard from
the farming districts, where the storm
ragged all day and all night over the
plaips with unobstructed fury. Loss of
life is sure to have resulted.
Missouri Got Off Lightly.
Missouri seems to have been lightly
visited, except on the western edge.
Kansas City vas roughly shaken up,
and unroofed houses, uprooted trees
and tangled telegraph wires bear testi-
mony to the strength of the gale. Sc
dalia, too, suffered rather heavily, hut
the rest of the state escaped practically
unscathed. a.,
In Minnesota and Wisconsin, Il
M1ullesOtdd anu WISCONSIN, IelU only The
dying breath Of the giant gale, and al
though the cities Of Beloit and Green
Bay in the latter state sustained con-
siderable damage there were no casual
ties and the gross loss will not be heavy.
In Illinois the rain, wind and hail
were heavy, but only in Chicago and it's
suburbs, so far as heard, was there any
loss of life. The fall of a huge seven
story burick building in Pearce street,
which crushed All adjoining cottage, is
responsible for the death of eight persons
and the injury of a dozen others.
In the suburbs of Grand Crossing four
persons were injured by the collapse Of
a house, and at W%oodlawn, four others
were hurt in a similar manner. East
of this city the storm seems to have lost
its force, and although heavy rains and
accompanying high winds are reported
from Indiana and points along the lakes,
there was no loss of life and little dam
age to property.
