Much Damage Done In keokuk and
Western Illinois by Rain and
Lightning During the
Early Evening.
HEAVY FALL OF RAIN
sixty-five Hundre1ths Of Rain Fell In
Fifteen Minutes In keokuk-
Ralned Longer In
Illinois.

A heavy rain and electric storm,
leaving trail CT destruction extend
ing through many of the central
states, did unusual damage in Keo-
kuk and vicinity between eight. and
twelve o'clock last evening. From
today's report western Illinois seemed
to have suffered more than anywhere
else, especially from lightning, which
struck in number Of places.
From the office Of the weather bu-
reau an interesting report was re-
ceived. It showed that in Keokuk
.95 Of rain fell, two-thirds of which
came down during the fifteen minutes
between 1850 and sos O'Clock. Storm
clouds were showing IN the west after
3 p. M, and the first thunder was
heard at p. m. There was light
sprinkle from $40 until $50 p, M,
and at 1877 p. m the real rain began.
The rain extended from ST. Paul &,
ST. Louis and over several states to
the east and west.

At $50 the rain began to fall in
real earnest. 1t came down in tor
rents. accompanied by fierce wind,
that blew down limbs and wires all
over the city. Main street was al
most veritable sea of water, which
the side streets carried to it. Hun

heavy downfall to be drenched to the

their homes during the evening, after
the storm had subsidized. were forced
to blaze their trail through the debris
that was strewn about on the side
walks and streets.
A report was received that the Nau
VOC academy had been struck by
lightning and one of the buildings
destroyed. This proved groundless
however. At Evasion the large grain
elevator was struck by lightning and
completely destroyed with all of Its
contents, while in Warsaw and Car

RICE INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED
STATES.

There is no agricultural industry
that has made such vast strides in this
section in recent years as has the pro-
duction and milling of rice. Less than
twenty-five years ago Louisiana pro-
duced barely a quarter of million
barrels of clean rice, while today the
production is one million barrels and
more. or a little more than half the
production of the United States OF
the total acreage now devoted to rice
in the United States. Louisiana is Gre
dited with more than half.
a generation ago no rice was grown
in the United States except in South
Carolina and Georgia, on the Atlantic
coast. and in Louisiana, whereas at the
present time Texas and Arkansas grow
| great quantities of rice and half a
dozen other states produce moderate
quantities Formerly rice was pro-
duced only along the Mississippi river
and Bayou Lafourche, but now the
bulk of the crop is grown in Western
Louisiana and the great prairie sec
ton of the state, which at one time
was unproductive except as range
for grazing. has now been turned into
veritable garden spot and has at
tracted settlers from all parts of the
country.
At first the rice raised on the prai-
ries of Western Louisiana was de
pendent entirely upon the rains for the
necessary moisture, but a succession
Of failures Of what was termed Prov
idence crop led to the almost univer-
sal adoption Of irrigation. and now the
entire rice district Of Western Louis
lana is honeycombed with irrigating
canals and extensive irrigation works.
The rice industry gives employment
to several hundred thousand people
and is one of the leading wealth pro-
duCers Of the state. Formerly prac-
tically all the rice mills were cOncen-
trated i'm New Orleans. but the spread
of the cultivation of rice all over
Southern and Southwestern Louisiana
led to the location of mills throughout
the country where it was possible to
secure supplies Of rough rice direct
from the farmers and also afforded the
latter the opportunity when they de-
sired il Of milling their product on toll
and selling it direct in the clean. At
the present time the great majority
q the rice mills are located in the
country. and, although New Orleans
remains the leading rice market. great
quantities Of clean rice are diStribut i
from the country mills.
There is NJ industry in the stata
which has n brighter future. Although
ior the moment the production Il rice.
seems to have reached stable ano
unvarying stage, there is certain to be
a further increase in production. as the
consumption Of rice develops with the
growth Of the country's population.
As yet the people Of the United States
do not consume nearly so much rice
per capita as they should, but as the
knowledge of the benefits of rice as
food becomes wider the consumption
is sure to increase and production will
expand in proportion.-New Orleans
Picayune.
