one is now willing to admit that the results have been very beneficial
 He. made much wCrk for himself, which he could have sighted, but in his zeal for advancing the condition of the schools no obstacle did he leave unsurmJunted. Heretofore the schools were run more like an aggregation Of Schools; that is, the fourth grade in the West End had different course of study from the fourth grades in the East End school. Superintendent Creager made the line of work alike in the same grades of the different schools. He also did something that heretofore never had been done, which was that he insisted on all the exami- nation questions being submitted to him before given to the various classes The final examinations were prepared by himself The examinations after being graded by the teachers were sub, mitted for his personal inspection and if he found that pupil had been graded too high or too low he correct ed according to his judgment. All this entailed a good deal of work, but Superintendent Creager was equal to the emergency, and his methods were warmly approved by the teachers.
 The citizens of Phoenix have every reason to be proud of the work of the schools this term and they can without boast say that our institutions of learn ing are second to ncne in the United States.

Several Iowa Towns De-

Death and DeStru ction in the
 Storms Path.
A Few Places Are Swept Of the Face of the Earth-Loss
 Unknown.

DIES MONIES, May 26.-Jasper and Polk counties, which were swept by disastrous cyclone last Sunday, to- day, showed the terrible extent of the disaster The storm which at first gave promise of nothing more serious than heavy rain, soon developed into a tornado, rivaling in force and de- structiveness the recent tornadoes which devastated Kansas and Texas.
 Six towns were partially destroyed;
 they are Bondurant, Valeria, Mingo, lAnkeny, Polk City and Slater.
 All wires are down in the districts swept by the storms and communities tion is most difficult. The first inteIli- gence of the storm reached this city from Berwick. The railroad telegraph operators bulletin stated that Vaieria and Bondurant had been almost cona- pletely destroyed The train due hera
 from the north this morning has not yet arrived and till it does, no details of the frightful havoc of the storm can
 be secured.
 The first fatality occurred two miles east of Bondurant. The house of Robt. Bailey, occupied by himself, wife and seven children, was demolished. Mrs.
 Bailey and three children were killed outright. From this point the storm followed the Great Western road to
 point above Ira in Marshall county, where the last traces of it are found.
 The town of Santiago was wrecked and family named Boltenbaugh consist ing Of father, mother and one child. were killed.
 The next town was swept almost | from the face of the earth IA man named Phelan and his four children were killed. A dispatch from Altoona ! says that a courier reports that be- tween Valerta and Ira the loss of life and property is great and that at least nine persons were killed. Ii is i'm possible as yet to get mere details from there. The best information is that the killed number just twenty although. this may be slightly increased by deaths among the injured. A train | with physicians left this city this
 morning over the Great Western, fo.- lowing the construction of the train, but on account Of the track damage, it has not yet reached Bondurant. At Polk City only slight damage is done and no one injured. Six miles
 east of Ankeney buildings were de-
 nlolished and everything leve,.ed to the ground, but sight damage was done in the town. At Bondurant farm houses and buildings were wrecked and l much stock killed. No persons were seriously injured.
