The Ruined District.
A district in this city bounded north by
Chouteau avenue, west by Grand avenue,
south to the city limits and cast to the
river, Is virtually a mass of ruins Not an
electric lieht has burned nor q car run in
that section. comprising 720 city blocks,
since $40 p. m. Wednesday. Within this
territory scarcely a building has escaped
injury aud thousands of them are In ruins.
On surveying the desolate scene one mar
vels that the deaths are not treble greater.
Beginning al the western boundary OF tho
scene is the handsome and exclusive resi-
dencs section known as Compton Hill. the
l,one'ot the fo.irth generation OF the early
French settlers of St. Louis. This aristo
cratic home pluce Is strewn with debris.
Just east lies Lsfa yette park. There the
trees. shrubbery, fountains and statuary
that have been the pride OF the city were
caught Ivy the wind and the place is shaven
bare as With a giant scythe. Farther east
and south to the city limits were the homes
of the thrifty yGerman-Americans who have
given q distinct character to the district.
To-day thousands OF them are sharing the
roofs OF their hospitable and more fortu-
ate neighbors
Interspersed in this latter section and en-
tho east to the river are mills. breweries
and numberless manufacturing concerns:
These were fair targets for the storm and
they suffered. 1t was this class OF losses
that added most to the wiping out of what
is conservatively stated to be H,0oO 600 In
vested capital. There are 16 breweries
within these bounds worth 900. and,
while none are destroyed, all are dam
aged. The losses fall heaviest on those
least able to bear them-business men OF
small capital and owners Of humble homes.
After the storm had laid its heavy hand
upon the southern half of the city fire
came to complete the work Of destruction.
Five columns Of flame shot up, but, thanks
to the deluge of rain, they were mainly con-
fined to their starting points. In three In
stances the engines were unable to get
pearer than block OF the a1es.

POLITICAL UNCERTAINTY.

Causes Slowing Up In Trade Operations
-Dun's Review.
New York, May 30.-R. &. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
Continued exports Of gold are recoR-
mixed as natural results of the borrowing
and importing early in the year. but
caused no serious apprehension. There in
a general conviction that destructive
schemes will not succeed, although at pres
en-: political uncertainties cause part Of
the business that might be done to be post
poaed until the future is more clear. When
conventions are over, the field for douht
will be much narrowed. A great many
men will then begin to act on what they
consider certainties. Others will find their
worst fears idle, and will settle down to
business. Business is question of human
bers that all sorts Of people have share.
by their hopes and fears, their purchases
or economies, in making trade. 1t seems
probable at present that q majority after
the conventions have acted, will be in q
more hopeful humor than they are now.
Markets for products are weak rather
than stagnant. The business done is small.
but largely governed by the belief In large
crops and insufficient demand. Wheat
has fallen three cents. Cotton has fallen
an eighth in spite of continued reports that
famine is near. Decrease in manufacture
o. 80 per cent. at the north, perhaps more
at the south, shows the real nature of the
estimates based on continued manufacture
at maximum rates. Many cotton mills
have stopped, and many more have re-
duced hours or looms, and yet the market
for goods Is lifeless. A reduction of indigo
prints half cent to four cents, the lowest
on record, being the chief feature.
Dress goods are quiet, and dealings III
mems wear are still unsatisfactory. Boots
and shoes shipments six per cent. larger
than last year, then the largest on rec
ord, indicate that in some branches makers
are catching up with their orders. and
many are discharging cutters. Yet many
others have orders for months ahead, and
sales still run large for the season, and
manufacturers quite generally insist upon
larger advance in prices, which buyers do
not yet pay.
"The iron and steel markets are weak
with lower prices. because the demand for
finished products is entirely inadequate.
though prices Of these are higher. Pig
iron has fallen over five per cent. since
April !, but the average of finished prod
ucts are advanced three per cent. It is
possible that rebuilding at st. Louis may
affect iron and steel markets extensively.
The minor metals are all shade stronger
Railroad earnings for May have been 27
per cent. larger than last year.
- Failures for the week have been 2s9 in
the United States. against 2l5 last year.
and 20 In Canada. against "a last year."

Tho Dead and Injured.
Careful tabulations of tho Information
gathered. from all official sources shows
that at eight o'clock Thursday night there
were ia victims that had been identified,
while Is still await Identification. Most
Of the bodies claimed have been removed to
their late homes. The number Of missing,
the majority supposedly being in the ruins
Of the Industrial establishments and resi-
dences that were totally demolished. is
variously estimated at from so to 500. Only
q complete search Of the acres Of ruins can
tell the true story, for the people in the
stricken region seem utterly unable to
talk coherently. Men and women reported
as among the missing are continually put
ting In an appearance, while on the other
hand many believed to be safe turn out to
be among the missing. In the matter Of
age the dead range from q male baby Of
three months to a great-grandmother of
e2 years.
The number of injured reported to police
headquarters to the same, hour foots UP
1s9. OF these five are unconscious and un-
known, having nothing upon them by which
they can be identified. The injuries range
from slight cuts and contusions to one un-
fortunate who is reported to have sustained

skull, both arms and legs and ribs OF

of Deeds are second in Importance to

flee would do irreparable injury to
property owners and cause confusion
which no end of litigation could I'M
ravel or Straighten out. In Mr.. Ban
gerter the voters of the county will
find thoroughly accurate, methodlcal
and painstaking official. With no
words of disparagement to any gentle
man on the opposition ticket, it is not
too much to say that there is no man
whose name has been mentioned for
any of the various positions to be filled
on the county ticket who will make
more efficient or popular official than
will Mr.. Bangerter if he shall be
elected, as we believe he will. The
gentleman has resided in Mankato

manhood among US. The greatest
compliment that can be paid him is
that all who know him are his friends.

Superintendent of Schools.

Geo. w. Scherer, who is candidate
for reelection as school superinten-
dent, has made a capable and efficient
officer and is well deserving of the
suffrages he asks. During the four
years ne has held the office, he has
done much to improve the schools of
the county and put them in shape for
more effective work; much has been
accomplished in grading the work and
at the same time the standard of the
teachers has been greatly advanced
and the schools Of the county put upon
a better footing than ever before.
The reelection of Mr.. Scherer,
means that this work will be cOntin-
ued through The coming two years.
Through Mr.. Scherer'S efforts while
holding this office, many district
libraries have been established, which
have been a great value to the schools;
improvements made in many school
houses and grounds, and an interest
created in the schools which has
caused a greatly increased attendance.
The people will hardly be induced to
drop so efficient an officer, and the
work he is doing for one with no eX-
perience whatever.
