Widespread Destruction.

ing the already demoralized telegraph
service. ragged over the central west
and middle states late Sunday. Re
ports from Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa
and Indiana indicate heavy damage,
but owing to the wrecking of the tele-

airy and lacking in detail.
Omaha, Berlin, Ashland and Yu-

Omaha. Late bulletins report ths
half the city was swept by tornado.
All wires are down and Berlin, a
neighboring town, was said to be in
flames. The message was received
over a single long distance telephone
wire which worked at intervals.
Terre Haute suffered severely.
Scores of persons were injured, an
unknown number were overwhelmed
IN the ruin of houses blown down by
the wind and many fires were started
in different parts of the city.

Terre Haute, Ind, March 24-Loss
of, life and severe property damage
was caused by tornado which wiped
out the southern part of Terre Haute
at 10 o'clock last night.
All wires were blown down in the
district anected. This prevented res
cue work, although every available
fireman and policeman was rushed to
tho stricken district.
1t is expected the death list will be
more than a dozen. With no warning
the terrific gale swept down upon the
district Parts of the Root Glass COM
pany's plant were flattened. The end
of the foundry room of the Garland
factory, solid brick wall, eighteen
inches thick, was caved in. Brick
and stone structures suffered alike.
Lightning set fire to many houses.
Men and women and children were
crushed to death in bed. Some escap-
ed to the cellars. Whole structures
were blown away by the force of the
wind The injured were rushed to
hospitals as fast as they were eXtri

Difficulty was experienced in OBJ

Unable to cope with the flames which
swept the district. The heavy down

scores of injured from being burned
in tho debris of their homes.

The Storm Locally.

Locally the storm was one OF the
most severe in. years. The heavens
were eminous and, the elements, wind,
rain and lightning, battled for hours.
Conditions were much like those OBJ
served at the time of the cyclone at
Grinnell in 1882. A peculiar phenom-
enon of the storm was the large
amount Of sand and clay that CAME
down. with the rain. PorcbeS and
windows gave evidence of the soil
deposit this morning. Undoubtedly
the storm that worked havoc at Oma-
ha gathered up the sand and carried
it across Iowa., showing the great
velocity of the wind.
Part of the town was without light
following the blow that visited OsAa-
loosa. The wires were broken ald
the current was turned off the 'all
night circuit" that includes the bust
ness streets and between railway sta
lions and the north circuit for street
lamps was also off A. B. G and Market
streets north of A avenue, leaving
that portion of the city In total
darkness. ...'.-
Burlington Railway Without Wire.
The local office OF fhe Burlington
states that their company had wire
into the stricken city about nine
o'clock this. morning. AT that time
about 200 bodies had been recovered.
The list of injuries is something ap-
palling. Agent A NJ. Hixson states
that direct or extended communities
ton had been impossible up to one
o'clock this afternoon on account OF
the efforts being made to repair the
lines and get them in working order.
The Burlington's wire service OK
tended southwest only as far as Red

Omaha, Neb., March 25.-With two
inches of snow covering the ground
and making the further work of res

presented an appearance of warlike
times.
An entire regiment of militia is pa
trolling the storm-swept district, aid.
ing the regular soldiers from Fort
Crook in the clearing work.
Every church auditorium, every
hall and empty store room is being
used to house homeless victims. After
a careful checking of undertaking
apartments last night it was tounu
there are ITO known dead in Omaha
and the work will proceed among the
ruins today, as not more than one
fifth of the wrecked homes have been
touched
Fully or partially demoralized
homes number 1863, according to fig
ures compiled by the relief commit
tee. The figures do not include
churches and schools and private
mercantile institutions.
The city officials are authority for
the statement that the homes alone
will result in property loss of $4,000
900. These figures connected with the
value of other property, such as rail-
roads, wires, etc, will make the loss
come up to the $l0,000,000 mark. Al
together the property loss in western
Iowa, Council Bluffs and Omaha is
100000.
There are 2,179 people made home
less by the tornado, and these are
now being cared for at the relief sta
tons According to figures compiled
by the city officials of this number
2S3 have reported themselves desti-
tute and dependent upon aid OF the
state and county for relief.
Wagons loaded with clothing and
food are drawn up in long lines in
front of the relief stations awaiting
those with credentials to call upon
them for supplies. 1t was asserted
by the authorities that every victim
would be amply provided with food
and clothing.
Plans for the building up of the
wrecked district is now under way
and it is expected that a corporation
will he formed and those who need
aid in rebuilding their homes will re
ceive the money from this corpora
tion on very reasonable terms.
Police Commissioner Rider, in
charge OF the relief work, declared
that the reaction after the shock and
will be the period of great
est stress in caring for the stricken.

Trains which pulled into the city
were stopped at the edge of the city
to take on dead bodies and the many

fact that heavy rain fell for nalf an
hour after the tornado saved the mass
of wreekage and many of the bodies
of the dead from being burned.
