DEATH LIST AT GAINESVILLE.
One Hundred Killed and Many Oi
the Wounded Are Not Expect
ed to Recover.

Gainesville, Ga, June 4-The 5000
inhabitants of this city have just be-
gun to realize the extent of the ap-
palling disaster of Monday. 1t now
seems certain that the death list will
not be much short of one hundred,
perhaps somewhat more than hum
dred, considering the number Of dan
gerously wounded whose chances for
recovery can not now be calculated.
The following is summary of the
effects of the tornado in Gainesville
and its environs: Killed, 100; injured,
$50. Of whom probably 20 will die;
500 homesless, their residences hav-
ing been wiped out of existence; prop
erty loss of about half million dol
lars, none of which was covered by
storm insurance.
The death list so far compiled in
cludes 80 at the Pacolet cotton mills
at New Holland, all of whom were
killed in the demolition of the COM
pany's cottage and So at the Gaines
vile cotton mills, near the Southern
railway station, where the tornado
first struck.

THREATENING AT ST. LOUIS
The Most Serious Condition I'm Many
Years C0nfrOnts Lowland
Dwellers.

St. Louis, June 2.-St. Louis faces
the most serious river conditions in
years. Early Monday morning the
stage of the river was reported at 27.S
feet, rise of 2.2 feet in "a hours.
If the Missouri continues to rise in
the next "a hours at the same rate
the danger line, 80 feet,will be reached
Tuesday.
Flood waves are reported pouring
down the Missouri as far north Is
Omaha, and 80 feet may be reached
Tuesday.
River boat dwellers, squatters in the
bottom lands and farmers on both
sides of the river in this vicinity are
abandoning their homes and fleeing to
places of safety.
Lowlands occupied by truck garden
ers on the east side, between Cahokia
creek and Venice, are inundated and
crops ruined.
Owing to the heavy downpour OF
rain locally River Des Peres, Cahokia
creek and every tributary is swollen
and rising rapidly.
More rain is promised tonight and
Tuesday by the local weather bureau
and no relief is in sight. Over an incl.
of water fell in St. Louis in three
hours Monday morning.
At the Worlds fair grounds, consid-
cradle anxiety was caused by the
heavy rains of Sunday night and Mon
day morning. Drives and terraces al
ready built were washed away and
more or less damaged. The flag staff
on the south tower of the Administra.
ton building was struck by lightning
Sunday night and split in twain.
The great sluice way through which
treacherous River Des Peres has beer
turned inside the fair grounds, is be.
ing severely tested. The water pours
into it in torrents, but the fair man
agement anticipate that it will stand
the strain.

ture. Gov. Cummips is satisfied that
he can supply the needs of the Hood
sufferers and tornado victims by bor-
rowing money, and have the next ses-
sion of the legislature approve his
course. The situation in Des Moines
is still disheartening, although the
water continues to fall rapidly.
Presents q Sad Picture.
The wide territory that was flooded
presents a sad picture. Men and
women who have anxiously watched
for the water to go down wandered
over the muddy streets to the houses
which had been homes. As each one
looked through the door of his home,
an expression of misery passed over
his countenance. There, within tho
ruins, furniture was scattered about
the rooms, Undiscovered; the carpets
and the walls were coated with dir
ty slime.
Fears of sickness.
Many are planning to move out OF
these places. The walls are damp,
and every effort will be put forth by
the committees in the field to see that
they are dried as rapidly as possible,
for sickness, it is feared, will come
if people are allowed to enter them
in their present condition.
Train Service Recovering.
Train service here on the main
lines is once more nearly normal. At
Ottumwa the water has begun to de-
cline, but it is still rising between
Kosauqua and Keokuk.> Water floats
through the main streets of Ottum-
wa; four miles of the main line of the
Burlington track are under water;
the light and water plants are shut
down, and business is FRUSTRATED. The
main southwest line of the Rock Is
land has not got train through FL
don for three days. Numerous bridges
have been washed out between there
and Keokuk. At Bentonsport, Farm
ington and Bonaparte great damage
has been wrought by the food, and
half the towns are under water.
An Appalling Situation.
But it is near the mouth of the riy.
er, at Keokuk. that conditions are the
worst. The situation is appalling. The
river is six and eight miles wide in
places, and in every direction may be
seen refugees on roofs of houses and
in trees shouting for succor that
seems impossible.

PREPARING FOR THE FLOOD.
st. Louis Merchants Are Movink
Goods Into Second Stories.

st. Louis, June 2.-St. Louis is pre-
pairing for the food which is coming
down the Mississippi river and its
tributaries, which will probably be
the greatest within the recollection
of the oldest inhabitants. River men
say the water will go over thirty-six
feet above low-water mark, while the
weather Office predicts the rise will
reach "a feet. This is qualified, how.
ever, by the statement that if the
rains continue the rise may be greater
than the official forecast. Merchants
along the levee are moving their
goods to second stories and in every
way preparing for such food as oc'

Lieutenant Scents Danger.
Lieutenant of Police Harry A.Adams
alone scented danger in the Missouri
Pacific embankment, which sightseers
thought meant safety. With what
few policemen he had and a few vol
unteers, he ordered the crowd from
the tracks. For a good hour, argu-
ments and commands having proved
futile. he and his men were engaged
literally in pushing the crowd from
the tracks across the sheltered bot.
tom lands to higher ground. He
found is impossible, however, in many
cases to persuade the people in their
own homes to desert their property.
They insisted that the embankment
protected them. "Some of those
people," the officer said, with a weary
smile, 81 had to pull of from tele-
graph poles" It was not more than
half an hour after the lieutenant had
driven the crowd from the embank-
ment that the food began to weaken
it Soon hole was made here and
there, and then, all at once, the en-
bankment crumbled away, the east
bottoms for miles were under water
and people were crying for help and
shooting pistols from the roofs and
upper windows of their dwellings.
Fifteen Boats Arrive.
The brewery, the police station It
self, stores, saloons and scores OF
cottages were flooded and there was
not boat within miles. Lieut.. Adams
promptly transferred headquarters
to four by eight shed, and began
working wires in every direction to
get boats, and IS arrived Monday
morning. For the most part they
were not of the best, these boats. but
they were hailed as treasures, and
promptly launched. Men, women and
children were rescued from tree
branches, telegraph poles, box cars
and roofs. Twenty people who spent
the night in the Marin school were
taken out during the afternoon, and
about thirty more were rescued from
O'Brien's lodging house. One victim,
a colored youth, was contentedly en-
joy1ng a swing when a boat ap.
preached.
