DIES MONIES, Ia, April 6.-Reports
received in this city from different
points in the western and central Iowa
show heavy rainfalls and great dam
age. AT Guthrie Center the storm seems
to have been its severest. 1t was ac-
companied by hail, which, with the
strong wind, broke windows and did
other damage. The streets were COW
cred with layers of large stones, which
the rain following swept into huge
drifts, which acted as dams and caused
a flood of water. 1t is not known how
extensive this fall of hail was, but it is
feared that it extended over considera-
BILE territory.

the highest ever known. and the Illinois
Southern railroad bridge over that
stream near here is gone. At Clay City

ST. LOUIS, April 6.-Dispatches from
many points in the path of the second
cyclone and rain storm in Missouri indi-

In Moniteau county hay stacks and
fences were leveled and houses and
barns were unroofed. Near Arcadia
the ocreeks and rivers are out of their
banks and the streets of the town are
running rivers. The city bridges are
washed away and much damage was
done to the railroad north and south
The storm reports from Moberly say
that the several streams near that town
are higher than for many years, and
farmers owning land in the bottoms
have suffered great loss. The dispatches
from other points are of the same tenor
as the above, all indicating that almost
incalculable damage was done.
