btOrm-ispsS OF LILO In ArknnSnS.
FAIRFIELD, III, April 5.-Barnhill, a
small village miles south of here, was
visited by disastrous cyclone Monday
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Every house
in the place was wrecked and only four
or five were left on their foundations.
About ten houses were totally destroyed
and one woman, Mrs. Harry, was
seriously injured. The heaviest rain in
years fell here during the afternoon.
CHICAGO, April 5.-Dispatches from
many points in the state announce
furious transforms and great damage

swollen to such an extent that the low
lands are flooded.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 5.-A storm
of great intensity prevailed late Sum
day night in Kansas and western Mis-
souri,, the details of which are only Just
beginning to be received. So far as ad-
vices indicate the storm was
not so severe as that of
last week, but the telegraph
lines in both states have been
seriously damaged and reports are not
obtainable from all points where the
storm is known to have ragged. 1t may
will show that more lives were lost
and more damage done than is now APP
| parent
The storm was of n different charac-
| ter in almost every place heard from.
AT Cherryvale, Kan, it was a tornado.
One mile east of the town the wind de-
stroyed six houses, and two people were
killed. 1t has been impossible to learn
their names. The news of the disaster
was brought to Wichita, Kan, by pas
sengers on the morning train.
AT Burlington, Kan, the disturbance
took the form of hailstorm. Hundreds
of window lights were broken and much
damage was done to fruit trees and
crops generally. The hailstones were
eight incnes in circumference and the
fusillade which they made upon roofs
of houses was alarming. .
| AT Bosworth, Mo-, the storm was seen
approaching, and the people, naturally
nervous after the terrible experiences
of their Kansas neighbors last
week, sought safety in their cell
lars. The storm came on with
terrible swiftness, but as it seemed
about to strike the town it
veered suddenly to the northeast. In
that direction is a thiclSly settled farm
ing region. Six houses in the path of
the storm were demolished Farris
Nardis was badly hurt by flying tim
bers. Mrs. Wright, the wife of farm
er, was less seriously injured and sew
eral others were slightly hurt.
WICHITA, Kan, April 5.-The list Of
deaths resulting from the storm of
Thursday night was increased by two
last night, namely, the child of Elmer
Hall, and L. C. Westcott, an old man
whose skull was terribly fractured. The
injured at Tewanda are improving.
but it is impossible to get any details
from the other stricken districts, as
there has been the worst possible tel
egraphic service since the storm. 1t is
estimated that the damage to property
in western Kansas will reach $500, 900
and the number of deaths reach about
fifty.
OMAHA, Neb., April 5.-Reports from
western and central Nebraska and
South Dakota show severe blizzard
to be in progress. At Grand Island the
mercury fell 40 degrees in three hours
and a norther is prevailing. The worst

LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 5.-A de-
structivc tornado passed diagonally
across Arkansas to the northeast at
noon Monday, uprooting trees and com'
pletely destroying everything in it's
path. The Methodist church at Pine
Bluff was demolished and several
houses blown into the river, the
occupants narrowly escaping drowning
At LonolSe the home of II. Hilbert was
seriously injured. The storm did much
damage in Drew county, but no lives are
reported lost. Telegraph wires are down
in all sections of the state and railroad
travel is seriously interfered with.
No trains have arrived from the north,
there being many washouts along the
lines. Cabin Creek, Ark, was visited
with terrific rainstorm. In less than
an hour after the rainfall Cabin creek
had flooded the town and covered the
railroad, washing out bridges and
sweeping off thousands of feet of lum-
ber and many bales of cotton.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 5.-An al

very easy matter. Conservative esti
