cult to get any definite news from
Louisville. Reports are to the effect
that the town is blown away and the
people are in a panic. The Burlington

business houses were wrecked and 80
residences destroyed. The Missouri Pa
cific station is standing, but both the
telegraph and telephone wires are down.
There were four distinct tornado
clouds as seen at Springfield, and they
made their appearance shortly before 5
o. CLOCK.
Heavy damage was done in the eoun-
try, and it is feared there was some
loss of life.
Dispatches received at Lincoln say
there were severe storms along the Mis-
souri, river further south at Nemaha
City and Falls City.
