THE BIG. STORM.
CONTRADICTION FIRST PAGE

sginR In the rains for the victims,
clearing the streets of dismantleG
poles, wire and general debris, re
pairing the damage done the
thousands of buildings, and reliev
ing the injured and homeless.
AS time goes on 1t becomes more
and moro evident that the tornado
was the worst that ever visited this
or any other city on the North
American continent. Horrors
multiply every hour and the list
of dead is appalling. More than
40 dead bodies have been rescued
in st. Louis, and over 400 persons
are known to have been injured.
Mangled cadavers are found in In.
numberable places along the path
of the storm and are being taken
to improvised morgues In differ.
'ent portions of the distressed dis.
tricts. 1t twill be weeks before q
complete list OF those killed can
be made, but the list OF dead is
climbing to the 200 mark.
Only mere guesses are made as
to the property loss on both sides
of the river, but the mercantile
agencies say 1t may reach $50,000,-
900 in this city alone, while in East
st. Louis 1t will be several mill
lions.
In East st. Louis the disaster
was complete, the western section
OF that railway town being one
vast charnel house. Only a single
dwelling was left standing on
what IL called the 'island," and
800 families are homeless. Citizens
estimate the dead at fully 200 on
the east side. Inquests ON the
bodies of AZ slain in st. Louis have
been held by the coroner, and his
duty continues, q verdict of "shock
and injuries, accidental" being
rendered In each case.
East st. Louis has issued
touching appeal for aid and the
committee which prepared this
manifesto estimates that 200 per.
sons were killed and that the mum.
Der injured will foot up into the
thousands.
However, some conservative per-
sons assert that the list will not
reach the estimated total OF 200,
though enough persons are now
missing to create the fear that the
will approach this num-

ed. Everyone agrees that months
Of time will fail to reveal the ex.
tent of the tornado's devastation in
Illinois, and from the surrounding
country thousands of men, women
and children walked into the city
to view the scene of destruction
and death.
Local papers today tell of the
sympathy offered by the whole
country to st. Louis in her present
state Of woe. Offers come to Mayor
Walbridge from commercial orga-
nizstions all over the United States
and from the mayors of cities large
and small, to extend financial aid
II the situation demands. 1t is
not likely Mayor Walbridge will
accept these kindly offers, fo-,
while the loss Is stupendous, local
citizens are going into their pock-
cts and have already established
large sized fund for the sufferers.
There are nearly 300 sick in the
emergency hospital transferred
from the city hospital after it was
demolished. The clerk of the hos.
pital has checked up the list and
thinks there are not more than
four or five unaccounted for. Some
patients who were prisoners from
the jail, workhouse and elsewhere
are known to have escaped during
the confusion. The militia is on
duty in all night watches. They
have been Of great assistance to the
police. At st. Johns hospital, 23rd
street and Locust avenue, wounded
are being cared for. One patient,
VIM. Plenke, zoos Lafayette ave.
nue., has died. He was sent first !
to the Good Shepherds via the dis.
pensary and then to st. Johns.
He was badly injured internally
and several bones were broken.
An unknown man lie unconscious
and on the verge of death. Others
are doing as we'll as can be ex-
pected under the circumstances.
ST. LOUIS, May 29.-Officisls of
the board OF education are busily
out the enormous loss
which the schools suffered. All
south end schools between Chou
teau avenue and Arsenal street
have been badly damaged. Some of
the roofs were blown away and the
walls crushed and others got of |.
with ruined windows and CHM
neys. The school board cannot re-
pair the damage for less than

dispatch received this morning
from Bowling Green, Mo-, by the
local manager OF the Postal Tele-
graph company states that that
place was not touched by the re-

that the twister struck eight miles
from there, unroofing the depot of
Burryville, demolishing several
houses spd killing one woman.
PERRY, o. T., May 29.-Pawnee,
three miles west Of here, was Wis.
tied by hurricane yesterday and
a half dozen OF people were killed
and wounded. Hail stones four
inches in diameter fell and did
great damage. All window lights
facing north and west were
smashed. In the vicinity Of Sper-
don, ten miles from Hennessy,
many houses aud barns were de-
stroyed or wrecked, but as far as
known, no one was killed at that
place.
ENGLISH PRESS COMMENT.
LONDON, May 29.-The Times
says Of the st. Louis disaster:

than weaken the gen.
eral impression of unsparing de-
VISITATION. The Imagination can
but dimly predict the awful effects.
IL Is characteristic OF Americans

The Daily News says: sit would
be interesting to speculate with
knowledge on this ever present
sense Of the inevitable upon the
character. 1t seems to
produce fatality of a kind but not
,f a passive order. On the con. ,
'rary the race has learned to make
