The st. Louis Disaster.
Nearly 300 Killed or MIssIng--The Prop
erty Loss Aggregates 100000, 900.

erty Loss Aggregates S2O,OOO,OOO.
A survey of st. Louis shows that over
1000 houses have been damaged or wholly
destroyed. The damage to church prop
erty was particularly severe.
The damage to dwellings is heavy, but
the chief loss will fall on the street rail
ways, the electric light companies and the
river and railroad interests. The munich
pality itself suffers loss of $750,000 on
public buildings, streets, etc. The street
railway company's loss is probably $780,
OOO. The steamboat men may be put down
for another 100000 and the steam rail
ways for half a million more. The Meyers
u Light factory, which was wrecked com
pletely, represents a loss of $780, 900, and
the st. Louis Refrigerator and Gutter COM
pany's factory is a loss of quarter of a
million. This list really exhausts the
heavy losers. The other losses are in the
thousands or even in the hundreds.
In East st. Louis the railroads and the
river interests were the heaviest losers by
the storm. The former will not get off
cheaper than $3.50, 900, and the latter suf-
fered to the extent of perhaps $500, 600.
The fire caused further loss of $500, 600,
and the individual losses of property
owners will swell the total to between So,
100000 and $4,000,000 In the country
and the various small towns touched by
the storm the losses will aggregate large
amount. The damage in East st. Lonis
by fire will be made good by insurance
companies, but where the damage was done
by wind, as it was was in most cases, the
property is not protected by the policies,
and the loss falls entirely upon the owners.
Prof. Bauman, an expert insurance adj
Juster of Chicago, after looking over the
field, said the total loss will foot up over
$20,O0O,000. Prof. Bauman adjusted the
losses caused by the Louisville tornado
about five ago.
There is some fear of an epidemic of dis
ease among the homeless on the river front
Under the ruins is vast quantity of de-
caying animal and vegetable matter, which
is sending pestilential odors up through
the debris. The sufferers are weak from
exposure and eXertion, and are in no con-
ditiOn to fight the malaria that is breeding
on their land. Chief of Police Ganey has
taken extreme precautions to prevent van
dalism, and Monday $50 tramps were
rounded up and driven out of town.

lowing tabulation of fatalities:

20 Persons Killed I'm a CIOudburst Mt
Seneca, Mo.

A tornado accompanied by cloudburst
of rain fell upon Seneca, Mo-, Friday
night. twenty-five buildings were wreck
ed by the wind and a dozen others swept
from their foundations by the deluge of
water. At least 20 lives were lost. Every
stream in the surrounding country has

storm did great damage. Three bodies
were found lodged in the driftwood at the
latter place, but are unidentified. The

first political gathering for go in
that village aud the opening of
the campaign on last Saturday
was very well attended. The
audience was composed of intelli-

and they gave the speakers the
closest attention. Wallace is no
insignificant trading point and a
number of new buildings are be-

mill built by the Robinson Bros.
is doing a good business.

The faithful discharge of q
public trust is something not to
be forgotten by a grateful peo-
pie. Hon. Jerry W. Hess has al
ready honored his county by his
distinguished services in the Leg
islature. By his fearless oppo.
sition to all measures which be
regarded as unjust, and by his
manly stand for just and wise
laws, the veteran statesman won
not only the appreciation of his
constituents, but the respect and
admiration of his colleagues,
among whom he took high rank.
The people viii be sure TO retain
in their service a man who has
proven himself SO iworthy of their
confidence and esteem.
DR.. 3. M. Turner is frequently
in the city and always ready to
preach the gospel Of honest
money to a free silver advocate.
DR.. Turner has always been a
Democrat, and no man has stood
higher in his party councils. AS
a member of the State Senate
and afterward as President Of the
University, he wore the highest
honors that his party in this
State could confer. He predicts
that the election of Bryan and
his followers would be a natural
calamity, and his argument ia
voring honest money strikes
terror to all regulators or inia-
tionists. DR.. Turner has been q
farmer and knows their condi.
ton, and he speaks from the
standpoint of a man having his
living to make, for he is neither
a capitalist or a rich man.
