It Is fortunate that no. lives were lost and no person was Injured even slightly. It is Impossible, however, estlniat the h'ss done to property In this city and the country surrounding and 10 growing crops and orchards In Greene county.

The heaviest damage done Is to the orchards. THE LI In the city the heaviest damage done to any lng) property Is the lost sustained by the Springfield furnitureman ufacturing company. One winn of the big furniture factory was almost completely demolished, the west brick wall I'D feet t.ng being blown down and the roof of that part of the factory 1 log lifted and carried over Into the stre t. shattering It Into kindling wood and causing damage to the factory and building and stick amounting to Aside from this there were no serious to property in ih city but hundreds of trilling on.s. such as small houses unroofed, chimneys blown down, windows signs dtspla' ed, shade and fruit tr es m.illi fences de stroyed and plate glass windows shattered, will run the loss Well up into the thousands.

IT WAS HIGH. Th ro is every eviil me that the real fury '( lh 4 ocb.ck st um, which did the gieiif. art of ih" damage, was in the air Just above the tops of the highest btiiMtng i.

Vivid lightning and crashes of thunder warned of the approach of dan Iter for there was danger more than was generally realised and a good many people, as remarked by a traveling man at the Metropolitan hotel, "bad on their aacetialoti robes."

The street car company also had gome trouble on account of a grounded wire last night.

Telephone and electric fire alarm wires met with like mishaps and sev eral times the fire bell tapped because of wires being broken. The electric light company was not without troubles of Its own and the full force of the company has been busy all day repairing breaks. THE STORM'S HAVOC, of "course ih more serious part of the havoc wrought by the storm was In the country, where orchards, especially peach orchards, were ruined beyond repair, and growing crops were to the ground. The corn crop, which has Jieen In bad condition on account of so much rain and lack of cultivation, was beaten by halt, broken by wind and washed by flood last night until the damage Is impossible to The strawberry crop in many places was ruined by being beaten Into the ground. Wheat, which Is in the stage of nut, I blown down and seriously daaged.

IN THK CITY. The pride of Councilman Gottfried 1 ambition, the light tower, heroically weathered the gale and atlll stands on the stiaare a llvlnr monument to his energy.

To add to the destruction the rain floded the wreck and ruined everything that was NKRVOrS AT THE METROPOLITAN I It was one of the first gusts of the storm which toyed with the front part of the roof and the cornice on the northwest corner of the Metropolitan hotel. A big section of the cornice was knocked Into kindling wood and the sheet Iron roof was torn loose with a 'rash that awakened every guest the house who wa not awake at the time, and caused the wildest confusion.

lno.nn) toO.OoO tw.ono l.V.',(Fl J00.lO 3f the The Tornado, Hot the Cyclone, Does tbe Greatest Damage. I'rof. Willis 8. Moore, chief of the Weather Service bureau in Washing ion, what the wild storms that do so much destruction really are: The one that does the greatest damage Is generally called a It is In. fact a tornado.

I'rof. Mooro says that all storms are of cyclonic nature, and they are generally harmless. A cyclone seldom causes damage: It Is th tornad i which we so greatly fear. Cyclones move eastward from the Rocky mountain country and their progress is always marked upon the dally weather charts which are now distribute so generally throughout the entire country. The point of low pressure and high pressure Is always marked and these marks arreatly add to the Information to be adduced from a study of a weather map.

The center of the arorm area or the center of the cyclonic area seldom occurs In the same place. The atmosphere over a great port Ion of the western plains may be affected by the passage of a cyclone across the country. This cyclone will cause the atmosphere to gyrate slowly around a rertaln axis. The gyrating movement may be perceptible by a brceie or stlrT wind that may have a Telocity of Id miles an hour or 60. The cyclone may affect the atmosphere resting over a half rlosen states, and may extend from St.

Paul to Little Hook, from Chicago to Ienver. Thus revolving upon a central axis with a gentle or a strong velocity, the cyclonic disturbance movci In an easterly course at high or low tpecd. From observa tlons reported at Various stations the center of these cyclone movements maybe readily traced In It path. The cen tral line may move to the north of Nebraska or It may move south of the Kansas line. Tornadoes, which do the terrible damage to life and property, are formed In the southeastern quadrants of these storm areas whenever the atmospheric eondltlons are right for their formation.

A high, temperature of the air and excessive moisture are essential features. For this reason no tornadoes havt tvr been reported: from because the air Is neither excessively nign in temperature nor filled with moisture. The air tension is generally released by one or two of these tornadoes, though sometimes it takes three of theni to settle up balances. They have been observed to move In pairs parallel with enrh Trther.The"one Important feature about tornadoes Is that they move In this country always In a northeasterly i'eopie escaping; from Its narrow path should always try to go eun.T to the northwest or the southeast If the path of thi tornado lies near thtm, they may escape It by taking either direction. It is Impossible to tell always from the appearance of the Mack clouds the course the storm Ir uUlng, although its awful destructive over may be realized by the terrible rj.ir.ng noise ahlch precedes It.

People n.tve neard the muse of approaching 'rnad. i.s fully in miles awayu but so s.Mi; Is its progress across tluocountrv iiilie remains for the observer to watch the hope of discovering In advance lis direction. The proper thing to do is to take a tdor for the nearest cellar. If the ob rver is in a frame house, but a cellar under a brick house 'is not a safe fug for the dust from the mortar the weishl of the tricks settling ova upon him may result in sutT.x a he is caught In the op ri ground, the change are against him. v'lingihK.

The ihlns for him to do Is to off at full speed In a southeasterly or a northwesterly direction, if he cap i the direction the tornado Is mali and It will need only a minute or for him to get out of the narroa iiatk over which always has the iusive right of way.

The towns afflicted are: Rondurant. Valeria. Santiago and Ira, No telephonic or telegraphic commu nication can be established except with Bondurant. which reports four deaths there In the Itallle family, with five in the same family seriously Injured. Three In the Phalen family were kill ed at Valeria.

At Santiago a list' of three were killed in the Boienbaugh family. Between Valeria and Ira the death list Is nine. Mrs. Schell was killed a the former place. Special trains have been started from Des Moines with physicians on board.

The storm is said to have swept along the line of the Oreat Northern from Bondurant to Marshaltown. The storm struck Elma near mid night. Many buildings were unroofe and numerous business fronts smashed in. The town was almost a lake. At Alta Vista one man and two chil dren were badly hurt.

The storm struck Manchester at o'clock last night, leaving a track six or eight miles In length In ruins Mrs. Ira Howiand and William Murray were seriously Injured. A cloud hurst at North McGregor. resulted in great destruction property and probable loss of sev ra One body has been recovered In the debris. A mile of the track of the St.

Paul road is under water. It is re ported that 12 persons lost their lives Running through McGregor Is sman stream bearing the name of Woody Run. After the cloud burst the stream overflowing Its banks so quickly that people were taken completely by surprise and the buildings In the ravine along the run were Inundated before they were aware or could remove much of their property. One body has been found and several persons are reported missing. Reports from points on the St.

Paul road are to the effect that large quan titles or drift wood descended on the towns down the little streaoi. Water and debris quickly filled the low lands, carrying away the telegraph otll and covering the company's track be. tweerr.the main town and North Me uregur. On a branch of the Mineral Point division of the St. Paul several wasnouts have occurred.

DEo MOINES. May 20. Forty three killed, a score fatally wounded and about people less seriously hurt is as near a can estimated today as me result ot the destructive torna does which swept portions of Iowa. IIll inns and Kansas Sunday night. An accurate estimate of the nrooeriv loss thus far Is an Impossibility.

The list of killed stands today: Jasiier county, Iowa. 1(1; Polk county, Iowa nine; Rockford, four; Elgin. Ill, one; Durango. tlve; North MoGre. gor.

The storm originated near the town of Ankeny, 85 miles north of Iea Moines. Near the town of Hondu rant it killed Its first victims, the Rallle family. The storm was seen from Rondurant.

Many farmers, who had attended church services, had been un able to get home before the jstorm and their likes were thus saver). Some sectutors there said the cloud divided, others that It was Hftca up ward and sped on In mld alr with frightful noise. The latter theory is probably tbe correct one. The total loss of property Is hard to estimate. Crops which were ruined can be replanted in many places as the season was comparatively early.

A severe storm, which at some points assumed almost the proportions of a cyclone, prevailed In central Kansas and southern Missouri last night and this morning, doing more or less damage. There are no reports ot casualties. Heavy rains were experienced at Sterling, Great Bend and Wichita, Kan. In Missouri it was more severe and at Golden City, Warrvnsburg and Springfield, many houses being damaged. A report that Carthage was wrecked by the storm and that 25 people were killed is a fake.
