Rain and Wind.

FAYETTE, Mo-, June 17.-There was a
tremendous rainfall here to-day. and a
result the creeks and rivers are out of
their banks. Much damage was done by
farming lands being washed into the
streams. The rain accompanied by a
heavy wind, which caused additional dam
age by blowing down wheat just ready
for the sickle. Corn was also blown down,
but will doubtless straighten up when the
sun shines again. To-night's fall of rain
was the heaviest on record in this part Of
the State for years.
