NORTH ST. LOUIS
IS STORM SWEPT
Tornado Does Considerable Damage
in Worlds Fair City.
SCORES WERE INJURED
Many Houses Were Unroofed, Build
inEs Blown Down, and Telegraph,
Telephone and Street Car Serv-
ice Badly Crippled.

st. Louis, Aug 20.-Two men killed
and twenty or more persons were in
jured in a severe storm which descend
ed suddenly and almost without warn
| ing on a small section Of North St
Louis shortly after three o'clock Fri
day afternoon.
One man was killed and 20 injured
at Madison, Ill.
The storm spent most of its fury on
North Broadway, in the vicinity Of
Fair street, from 1900 to 37OG. The
storm seemed to dip down out the
clouds which had been hanging over
that part of the city.
1t came in the form of spiral tow
er, whirling forward with great force
and damaging everything directly in
its path.
Telegraph poles for a distance of five
blocks on Broadway were moved down
one after another as weeds before a
scythe.
Roofs were blown from houses. Troll
ley and feed wires and smaller wires
were blown down. Trees were up
rooted.
The air was filed with flying tim
bers and splinters and with debris and
dust. The people were stricken with
terror AS many as had time sought
shelter in cellars.
The storm passed almost as quickly
as it came, leaving the people dazed
from the suddenness of the attack Of
the elements.
After traversing Broadway for five
blocks, the storm cloud turned east
damage between Broadway and the riv-
er, leaped across to Madison. Its gen.
eral direction was northwest to south
east.
A part of the roof waS blown from
the factory of the Buck Stove & Range
Co.
Six persons were injured at the
Neidringhaus plant at Second and Des-
trehan streets. A large smoke stack
blew down and crashed through the
roof into a workroom. where a largo
number of men were at work.
The boiler house of a large foundry
a block east of Broadway was de-
stroyed
SUN Shone Elsewhere.
While the storm was whirling
through North st. Louis the sun was
shining in the central part of the city,
in West and South st. Louis and at the
Worlds fair. Nobody in any of the
other parts of the city knew that there
was storm in North st. Louis.
Reports from surrounding towns, in
Guiding Venice, Granite City, Madison
and Brooklyn, Ill, north of East st.
Louis, and on the other side of the
river from North st. Louis, indicate
that they received the very worst Of
the cyclone.
According to what seems at this
time to be perfectly accurate reports,
four persons have been killed.
The wife of the chief of the police
Of the town of Venice was one of the
quartet which lost their lives.
In all the towns named, a number OF
barns and outhouses were demolished.
1t was reported on the wires that the
total number of injuries, including ia
talities and slight wounds, throughout
southern Illinois, as the result of the
cyclone, is 100.
Many rural districts have not been
heard from as yet, and the prospect is
that this total will be sadly increased
when all reports are in.

Tennessee Crops.

The department of agriculture, in
It's review of crops and crop condi-
tons in Tennessee, issued last week,
says:
Good showers fell over the greater
portion of the State, and where they
fell crops of all kinds continue in
fine condition of growth and develop
ment, but in many sections, particu-
larry in the western and northwestern
counties, there has not been sufficient
rainfall for the needs of growing
products, and in some drouth condi-
tons prevail to a serious extent, re-
sultfng in a material lowering of pros
rective yields. In some sections of
the eastern and middle divisions the
rains were heavy and damaging.
Early corn is pretty well assured,
and is one Of the finest crops for
many years; late corn needs more
rain for its proper development; and
in the dry belts it is rapidly dete-
riorating, and will fall far short of ex-
pectations unless sufficient rain falls
soon.
Cotton is still growing slowly, but
is in fairly good condition
In the northwestern counties tobac-
Co is beginning to need more rain for
its proper outcome; elsewhere the
crop is reported good
The second crop of Irish potatoes
has been about all planted and is do
ing well; sweet potatoes are ap-
preaching good maturity where sufIl-
cient rain has fallen.
Millet and peas, of which there are
large crops, are ripening we'll; some
has been cut and secured for hay.
Flowing for fall seedlings has pro-
crossed well, as rule, and some rye
and winter oats have already been
sown.
Turnips are coming up we'll and
sowing is still in progress.
Sorghum is doing fairly we'll
Wheat thrashing IS rapidly ap-
preaching completion, with excellent
results.
Some damage to oats in shock by
the rains is reported; the crop, as a
rule, is excellent.
Pastures continue very good.
In some sections apples, peaches
and grapes are inclined to rot, and
fall apples are dropping off to a CO u
siderable extent
Garden products are reported fine.
