ST. LOUIS, April 12.-"Have we yet
heard the worst?" is the question that
comes to ones mind as reports are re-
ceived of the rayages Of Tuesday
nights storm. AS telegraph and tele-
phone wires are repaired and communl-
cation once more restored reports begin
to come in of death and destruction.

the predecessor. Wires all over are
still Frustrated, but enough has
been learned to show that no section OF
the state escaped the storms fury.
Salem, Stanbury, Sleeleville, Roila.
Page City and other places report not
only destruction of property, but loss of
life. At Coudray, small mining vii
laye, great havoc was wrought. The
latest report from there shows six killed
outright, three have since died of their
injuries, and of the fifty or more injured
it is thought at least twelve will die.
Nevada, Mexico and various other
places report trees, outhouses, fences
and roofs blown away, the damage
being small to individuals, but aggre-
eating many thousands in each place.
The same is true of Southern and Cen
trail Illinois, Springfield, Quincy, Jack
sonville, Danvile, Centralia, Olney,
Vandalia, Cairo and various other places
reporting barns and other small
Buildings Destroyed
and much live stock killed. No loss of
human life is reported. Northern Ar
kansas also suffered, though not to so
great an extent.
tits now certain that there was no
loss of life in this city, nor were any
very serious injuries sustained by any
one. The property loss will be great,
however, aggregating over 100000.
Trains from all sections were
from one to three hours late
today, having been delayed by
waShOutS and landSlideS. Prostra-
tlOn of wires also prevented to great
extent the giving of orders by dispatch

only mail trains were run. and these

state at 10 D. m. reaches over
twenty-five and it cannot be fore
told how much 1t may be in-
creased as communication is re-estab-
lished. A heavy storm of wind and
rain swept over Northern Texas last
night. In Dallas several buildings
were blown down, but no one killed.

places houses were Down down. The
only casualty in the path Of the storm,
as far as reported, was near Muskogee,

LEXINGTON, Mo. April 12.-All parts
OF Lafayette county were visited last
night by destructive wind storm.
Four persons are reported killed, and
additional reports may swell the num-
Der considerably. Seven or eight farm
houses were totally demolished. and
four or five people are reported hurt,
some of them perhaps fatally.
HIGGINsVILLE, Mo-, April 12.-This
county was visited last night about
O'Clock, which swept everything before
it from the southwest part OF the county
to the northeastern line, and leaving
the county between the Missouri river
and Waverly, Ill. j. W. Hutchinson,
an aged farmer in the neighborhood
of this town, lost his wife and house and
was badly crippled. Mrs. Ii. Y. luke
and brother were killed outright and
their barns terribly wrecked. Further
on, Capt. Todhunter's barns were de-
molished, and a small negro girl was
killed on the farm. There are numer-
Gus reports and rumors about deaths at
Dover and Waverly, but nothing au-
thentic can be secured.
In the path of the storm, between
Mayville and Lexington, eight persons
were killed outright, and three more
will probably die from their wounds,
and twenty-five mere wounded. Ply
sicians were summoned from Higgins
VILE. Lexington and Dover to care for
the wounded, and the whole country is
filled with carriages and other convey
anceS from those places for removing
the storm stricken people to hospitable
