Cyclones as Local Disturbances.
Records of the weather bureau show
that violent cyclones are confined I'm this
country very largely TO tie valley Of the
Mississippi They are strictly local dis
turbances The violent. whirling storm
usually proceeds at a comparatively slow
rate OF speed.
In the st. Louis disaster OF 1898 the
storm itself did not travel more than
seventy-five miles. and advanced at tho
rate or only about twenty miles an hour:
but in the vortex of the storm the wind
velocity was estimated at $50 miles an
hour, all OF the recording instruments
having been DESTROYED long before this
velocity was attained.
Conditions In the vicinity OF Omaha
were such Saturday and Sunday that
special storm warnings were issued by
the weather bureau, and the population
was instructed to look out for violent
local gales.

Unable to Explain Storm.

today thus explained the progress of the
storm which eliminated I'm the disaster
at Omaha: 1T began last Friday as an
ordinary storm on the north Pacific coast
ana travelled rapidly eastward. Saturday
morning the storm conferred over south
ern Nevada and Sunday morning had
reached southern Colorado.
why the wind reached such a velocity
at Omaha cannot be explained. The
weather bureau had been without any
direct information as to the exact rate Of
the wind. 1t may have been 100 miles an
hour. The storm today was over upper
Lake Michigan and was heading for the
st. Lawrence river.

Emory s. Walker, representing a COM

More than one hundred and fifty per-

Telephone messages reaching here from
Prairieton. nine miles south. state that
nearly every house in the town had been
destroyed and that many homes between
here and that place had been leveled.
Torrential rains accompanied the tornado
and probably saved many persons pinned

Big Crop OF Double Headers
Sown Early in Season for

New York, April 1S.-Rain and cold

can League clubs were able to keep
their engagements on seven occasions.
Rarely has so big Il crop OF double

play in the seasons early stages.
