The Dead and Injured.
Careful tabulations of the information
gathered from all official sources shows
that at eight o'clock Thursday night there
were la 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 male baby of
three months to a great-grandmother of
% years. = go"

Interspersed in this latter section and en-

Its Track in East st. Louis.
In East st. Louis the track of the storm
is as clearly defined after touching the
Illinois shore as If plated by a surveyor.
Tearing diagonally through the city from
southwest to northeast, it cut a clean
swath of destruction. Bloody island, the
river front Of the city. is a low. narrow
strip Of land, now joined to the mainland,
that was the termini of all the railroads
centering there. Large freight sheds were
strung along the river 'front.' Nine of the
largest of these are in ruins. The greatest
damage was done to the Vandalia, the
Mobile e Ohio, the Big Four, the Chicago
L & Alton. the Wabash and the Louisville &
Nashville sheds. At the Vandalia the loss
Of life was greatest. There the structure
seemed lifted up and dropped again over
the foundations. Fourteen Of the dead
enumerated were taken from these Sheds
Across Cahokia creek, in the city proper,
the destruction was complete. The relay
depot, an abomination which even the cor
roding hand Of time could not destroy, went
to pieces before the storm. The switch
tower. upon the perfect working Of which
depends the movement of hundreds Of
trains. was made useless. Three small
hotels in the vicinity were destroyed.
North and east ofs@the relay depot a
wide residence section, mostly small houses
occupied by mechanics. was cleaned up. It
Is through this part that the majority ,of
the fatalities occurred. The high dykes to
the west that shut off the waters OF tho
Mississippi were no protection and the frail
houses went down like houses Of cards.
The Niaduct across the mass OF tracks east
of Cahokia creek was made useless. The
new Martell house, the McCauseland opera
house, the city hall, Flannigan's hall, three
churches. the high school and residences
that covered IA blocks of ground east Of the
|viaduct, were demolished. Farther on to
the north and east, in the stock yards vicin-
tty., everything was swept away. The
definite limits Of the STORM, indicated
above, may be clearly noted here. The

At Little Falls.

If the jams of logs at Little Falls
break with such head of water be-
hind them, mills, bridges and every
improvement above Minneapolis would
be swept away and the west side would
be under at least 10 feet of water. Such
disaster would be calamity to the
whole upper country. It has been ar
ranged to sound steam whistles if the
jam shows signs of weakening, so that
the people can save themselves by
flight to high ground. At present the
water is flowing over the country
around the jam, and one farm is re-
ported as being under six feet of water.
The surplus water at some of the gov.
eminent dams is being let off, which
makes the situation worse than it other
wise would be.

Total
The Losses.

Three of the principal real estate dealers
in this city state that they have figured
that the actual real estate loss in st. Louis
will not exceed $4,000, 600. The damage to
household property, bric-a-brac, paint
ings, statuary, etc, will however, swell
this amount nearly 81, o00, 900 more. The loss
in shade trees and ornamental shrubbery
is beyond computation. Lafayette park,

a total quite large enough, but almost in
significant when compared with the fabu-
lous estimates. To this, however, must be
added the damage done to residence prop
erty throughout the city, which, while it
will be very large, cannot in the nature of
the case amount to as much as that done to
business property as shown above. View
Ing the situation In this light, it will be seen
that $40 100000 should be ample to cover the
actual property damage. This estimate
has not included the loss and damage Of
furniture. This will never be known.

POLITICAL UNCERTAINTY.
Causes a Slowing Up in Trade Operations
Is; @l.2- 5.....- -Dun's Review.

New York, May 3O.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
Continued exports Of gold are recos-
nized as natural results Of the borrowing
and importing early in the year, but
caused no serious apprehension. There is
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
poned until the future is more clear. When
conventions are over, the field for doubt
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 a question of human
nature, and he reads it best who remem-
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 a majority after
the conventions have acted, will be in a
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
Of sc, per cent. at the north, perhaps more
at the south, shows the real nature of the
estimates DaSeO OH continued
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 a cent to four cents. the lowest
on record, being the chief feature.
'.Dress goods arc quiet, and dealings in
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.
1.-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 1, but the average Of finished prod
ucts are advanced three per cent. It il
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 "a
per cent larger than last year.
Failures for the week have been 239 in

TO PRESERVE BIG GAME.
Western Reserves for the Breeding of

Western Reserves for the Breeding of
 Buffalo, Elk, Etc.
 Most wild animals are much more To- cal in their habits than we imagine; that is, they become attached to some especial small range of country, to which they confine themselves at cer. tain seasons of the year We sec, says writer in Harper's Weekly, the same thing in our domestic stock on the range. A bunch of horses will live for months in some little set of ravines, feeding over the same ground day in and day out, until some change in the weather causes them to move to another locality. The same is true of range cattle, though they wander more than horses. Though ali species of our western wild game wholly change their range in spring and autumn, yet, after they have settled down on their sum- mer or winter ranges, the area that they cover in their daily wandcrings is not extensive. At certain hours of the day they go to water; at particular time they will be found lying down, usually in the same place, or feeding in the same neighborhood. The hunter established in one locality, who is fairly observant, who has time to ia. miliarize himself with a particular range of country and it's wild inhabit- ants, and who does not wantonly disturb them, will learn after a time just where to look for small groups of the various species. On horse ranch, where, in the past, have spent much time, 1 came to know cx- actly where to go if I wished to find two or three little companies of mule deer or of antelope, and at last believed that could recognize the different in dividuals of the various groups In the same way l know certain valleys, plateaus, or ridges where can be quite sure of finding little bunch of noun tain sheep, known to be the same by number and ages of it's members. l have watched for several successive days the same family of white goats feeding on the mountain-sidcs above nay camps, and can go to certain rough slopes of slide rock and precipice where these animals are always to be found, That elk and moose have essentially the same habit have no doubt, al- though have not been able to verify my belief by observation in the case of these species. The caribou is said to be more of wanderer.
 In the National park there are be- lieved to be now about two thousand buffaloes, fifteen thousand to twenty thousand elk, five hundred antelope, and an unknown number of moose deer, mountain-sheep, and bears. But there is no reason why there should not be many other such breeding-centers, where big game should be preserved and very greatly increase.
