ST. LOUIS, May 29.-It is yet too
early to come to any definite esti-
mate of either the loss OF life or
property in the great storm, which
has left this city In mass OF ruins
in spots. The number of bodies
actually found dead and identified,
added to those who are unknown,
is easily given, but the number
still buried in the ruins Of demol-
ished buildings and covered under
tons OF masonry and other debris,
it will take days possibly to fully
enumerate. The list of the known
dead in this city now number $50.
The dead in East st. Louis num-
Der 157. Outside OF the city limits
the victims will number 30 or
more. Estimates are wild and
vary all the way from 200 to 600 as
to the dead and from $l0,000,000 to
s25,O0O,0O0 as to property. The
most Conservative estimate taken
from all sources would place the
dead at about 500 and the injured
at nearly double that. The prop
erty losses will foot up from $751;
100000 to $2O,OOO,OOO.
LOSSES UNCERTAIN.
The path OF the storm was so ir-
regular, its movements so unequal,
the character of the destruction
accom- plished so varied and wide
spread that 1t is not possible to
give accurate figures or estimates
upon anything. This uncertainty
Is as great concerning the losses
upon the river as upon the land.
Scores OF steamboats, and other
river craft have gone to the bot
tom, and 1t will be weeks before
1t can be accurately known who
were lost with them and who were
rescued. In fact 1t can never be
known with accuracy who we're
there when the storm struck them,
as peopls by the hundreds were
coming and going to and from
them continually.
CRUSHED IN FACTORIES.
In the collapsed factories 1t will
be almost impossible to ascertain
who was lost, for many OF the
operatives were alone in the city,
had no families or relatives who
can give information concerning
them, and at their boarding houses
alone will they be missed, and not
always there. 1t is certain from
the number of tramps who have
crawled out of hiding places along
the levee and from other ruins that
many of these may have persisted
in the general havoc, and the num-
Der Of these cannot be even guessed
at. There are numerous tenement
houses and other frail structures
peopled with dense masses OF hui
mainly, and the destruction Of life
here it will be difficult to approx
mate.

to the stage. 1 stepped opposite him

and the lips rosy. Hearty, healthy whole
someness is better than mere beauty OF
features. A face full of the glow of good
health-full of the kindliness and good
humor that health brings, is bound to
be an attractive face-a face that will
make friends. The face tells the story
of the whole body. Murder will out "
and so will "female weakness" and
nervousness and other disorders peculiar
to women.
If there is a drain on the system and
strength, the record of it will show in
the face. If there is nerve nagging
bearing down" pains, dragging and
pulling at the most sensitive organs in a
woman's body, the face will show it.
Abused nerves draw lines of care and
worry on the face. Nervous prostration
writes its warning on the face long before
It comes. Sleeplessness, nervousness and
facilitating drains make more wrinkles
than age.
Nine-tenths of the sickness of women
comes from some arrangement of organs
distinctly feminine. Nine-tenths of this
sickness can be cured and avoided BY the
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
There is nothing miraculous about the
Favorite Prescription nothing super
natural.
It is the result of rational thought
and study applied TO medicine.
II has been prescribed by DR.. Pierce
for over 90 years. II has made thousands
of women healthy and happy, and has
brought JOY to thousands Of homes.
In "female weakness " it acts directly
and strongly in healing and strengthen
ing the parts that are most severely tried.
II clears out impurities and promotes
regularity at all times.
