 OMAHA, March 24.-It has taken Omaha and the surrounding country thirtysiX hours to begin to appre cate the enolmity of the devastation wrought by the Easter raging storm of wind and rain.
 The storm assumed first the velocity and destrlc- tive effects of cyclone and ended it's existence in a series of tolnadocs which dropped fercey in many parts of the city and country and without regard for human life and property visited the greater portion of the residential section of Omaha.
 Tonight the number of known dead in the area covered by the storm is estimated two hundred and fifty, of whom two hundred residents of Omaha The remaining dead scattered over con siderable territory Council Bluffs reporting twelve: Yutan Neb, Is: Berlin, Neb. '; Glcnwood, Iowa. }: Neoa, Iowa, ,; Bartlettc, Iowa, ,. The same cites and towns report aggregate of four hundred and forty injured and four hundred and fifty homes de- molishcd.
 The monetary loss, it is estimated, will exceed five million dollars.
 Aside from this, three thousand buildings were more or less damaged many of these being church edices and school buildings. Eight of Omahas public schools were wrecked.
 All forms of communication almost anihl- atcd by the wind, only two three wires being lr working condition when daylight relieved night of high tension, which. at times, almost became pane Soldiers of and national troops poured into the city during the day to aid in bringing order out Ot what was twenty hours before chaos.

As night wore on, reports of the additional injured began to drift in from the outlying suburbs. No dis orders were reported. Searchers con- tinued to besiege the morgucs and hospitals throughout the night. and late reports from the hospitals gave no additions to the death list. It was noticed that most of the injured were improving.
 Telegraph and telephone communi- cation which had been at a stand still for twenty -four hours, improved during the night. lntrastate as well as interstate communication is far from normal and it is believed the full effects of the storm may not be known for several days.
