TIIK COtK.SK OF THE STOKM.
The tornado proper was preceded
by a severe blow from the east.
Strong and steadily the wind came
arjd then it swelled to a hurricane and
there were three distinct attacks
which tore off roofs and commenced
the general destruction whiclt fol
lowed. When this wind met ooe
which wp. coming from the southwest
the tornado was born, and. returning,
beran its work of destruction. It
struck St. Louis on the southwest at
a point just north of Tower J rove
park and ran in a northeasterly direc
tion until it reached ( I rand avenue.
From there it followed Mill creek
valley clear to Hie river, veering
slightly to the north when it reached
Tenth street.
At the levee it swung around al
most at a right angle, and swept
straight up the river to beyond Venice
and Madison, where it veered to the
east again.
Judging from the reports of the
greatest damage done the path of the
storm was on an average of ten or
twelve blocks in width.
The worst damage was done in a
path about six blocks wide, extending'
eastward from Grand avenue to Tenth
street. From Lafayette avenue on
the south to the railroad tracks on the
north, about every other block the
wind teemed to reach out and crush a
few buildings and unroof a few resi
dences outride of its main path.
Kvery wire along Chouteau ave
nue from tirand avenue east to
Twelfth street was down and the
pole? and their heavy weight of cables
were scattered along- the streets.
All streets from Park avenue to
Chouteau were in a similar condition.
lS'ooe of them were passable with a
horse or vehicle, and walking was a
difficult and dangerous experiment.
Fire added much to the loss ac
count. Down wires, wild currents of
electricity, crushed buildings, all con
tributed to this element of destruc
tion The alarm system was paral
yzed. Approaches were blocked. A
S2,0"0 conflagration on the St. Louis
side was supplemented by a dozen
lesser fires. In East St. Louis a mill
was burned and two other consider
able losses were sustained. To the
enormous total, fires added at least
S.'.oo.ooo. Such another night of hor
ror may St. Louis never know.
THK CITT HOSPITAL DAMAGE.
In the flashes of lightning the city
hospital looked like a ruin. The new
surgical warn was partly demolished,
l'oriioas of the other buildings were
unroofed. Walls were cracked. Even
in tlie darkness the physicians began
the removal of patients to temporary i
quarters, fearful that the strained I
structure would go down in a general j
collapse. There were -150 sick people
i.n the btutpilal when the storm came.

The city hall and Four Courts were

of t!ie jii il wall was deiuol ished.
Convention hall lost a part of the
roof on the eastern end and the east
end was punctured in several places
by living missies, and sustained om-i
derangement of the interior. Ten

BCORKft or HI II.DIXmS WHt(KKl).
In the district between Sixth street
and the river northward from Chou
teau avenue, the tornado tore a diag
onal patlt. 1 lie district comprises
business houses, mai.y of them of the
older type. Every building within
the path sustained damage. Smoke
stacks and chimneys were toppled
over, walls were leveled and roofs
were lifted. Thousands of windows
were broken and miles of telegraoh
and telephone wires weieleft in a
network on the ground. Through
this district the streets are impass
able. They are covered in places
with debris ten reet deep.
TIIK EAST ST. I.OI'IS HAVOC.
The death dealing cloud crossed the
river at such an angle as to strike and
wreck the upper works at the east end
of the Eads bridge and to sweep a part
of hast St. Louis. In comparison to
its size the fatalities and losses in
East St. Ijouis greatly exceed those on
this side of the river. The larger
part of the central portion of the city
is razed to the ground, while on the
flats along the river bank to the north
of the Eads bridge not a house is left
standing. In the latter portion the
loss of life is terrible. Scarcely a
family seems to have escaped without
some member being killed, while in
uianv instances whole households
were wiped out of existence. The
Catholic church of St. John of Nepo
muk. at the corner of Twelfth and
Sou lard streets, was destroyed, except
the front, which stands like a tower.

pletely aestroyed.
SOME ACTS OF HEROISM.
Incidents of the) Storm Worthy of Espeelal
Not for Itravery.
St. Loris, Ma, May 21). When the
City of Monroe had twisted away from
the Anchor line wharf there were
alout forty passengers on board and a
full crew, as the boat was just making
ready for the trip to New Orleans.
lien the moorings anally gave way
the boat lurched over on its starboard
side and nearly capsized. The move
ment threw nearly all the freight to
tne starboard side and served to hold
the boat in its perilous position. Cap
tain Viegler made a reas.suring speech
to the passengers, which slightly
quieted the extreme excitement. He
said they were all safe. When the
boat struck the Illinois bank the cap
tain was not to be found.
A tug was blown from its moorings
at the foot of Washington avenue. On
ooaru were three men and two wo
men, the latter Jennie Miller, the
cook, and Emma II. Nolan, chamber
maid. When the storm broke the men
were on deck and the women below.
-1 ne meu saw that the storm was
going to be a hard one and began to
ring the alarm bell. Then the steamer
Dragon, which left its moorings, was
blown out into the stream. At the
same moment the Dolphin's ropes
parted anil the tug began to ship
water. 1 he wind blew her against
the bridge. While this was going on.
the women and the men on the boat
climbed to the upper decks When the
boat struck the bridge those on board
had to dodge to escape the ironwork
of the structure. Tne mate saw there
was no hope if they stayed on board.
Jennie .Mitchell was the first to
climb on the iron work. She was as
sisted by two or the men while tne
mate stayed on deck to help Emma
Nolan. As she swung herself to tiie
beams the boat drifted awav and sank
e fore the eyes of the horrified crew.
.siowiy, wun me wind blowing at a
force that caused the big structure to
rock like a cradle, the three men as
sisted the women on the laborious
climb to the roadway. Several times
thev were nearly blown off. They

Washington avenue station.
m the l.ibbie longer, which was

This morning John McDowell,
roustabout on the tug Reliance, which
is performing great work among the
boats which line the Illinois bank for
miles down the river, returned to the
city. He was burdened with messages
to loving ones in this city from fathers
and brothers, tolling of their safety.
He reported that the Madill had been
blown to pieces and the crew swam
ashore. lie said he thought that
every man of the crew escaped with

20 DEAD AT ONE PLACE.
Frd ehtlmtr't Tenement Rased
Th Inmate All Probably Drad
t. Lions. Jiay z. o words can
do justice to the horrors of the scene
at Seventh and Rutger streets. In
one wreck alone it is known that
more than twenty bodies are still
buried. Five mangled forms were un
covered and removed just before mid
night. Fred Hancheimer kept a saloon on
the southeast corner of Seventh and
Rutger, a three-story brick building
fitted up overhead as a tenement
house, and no less than eighteen fam
ilies called it "home." A few minutes
after the tornado struck the structure
it was a mere pile of bricks, wood
work and plastering and beneath it
an unknown number of men, women
and children met death.
Hancheimer's wife and not less than
twenty people probably many more
are known to be pinioned under the
ruined tenement.
THE RIVER FRONT.
Only

of Lives fndouuteilly Lost
Sr. Lot in. May -'. The tornado
vented its greatest fury along the river
front, and the lcv for miles up and
down wa dev.isiatcd ami laid waste.
(Jreat steamers were torn from their
moorings at the first blast and were
driven down the river for miles.
Of all the craft that lined the river
for miles, but one remains to tell the
story of the disaster. It hung steadily
to its moorings throughout.
When the tornado struck the river
the light of day vanished in a mo
ment, and those at work on the levee
could barely discern the forms of the
steamers as, one after another, they
pitched and tossed and finally, with a
crash, were blown out into the dark
waters and disappeared.
The steamer J. J. Odell of the Illi
nois Kiver packet line, was blown out
from its wharf at the foot of Morgan
street, crashed into the second pillar
of the Eads bridge and sank. Her
boilers blew up before she disap
teareiL She had a crew of twelve,
and three women passengers, besides
her captain, Oeorge Town send, an old
river man. Three of her crew, Jack
Morrissey, Pat Milan and a man by
the name of Moore, reached land in
safety. The two former jumped be
fore the explosion and caught drift
wood. Moore was blown overboard
by the explosion and was cut about
the head, but managed to swim to the
shore. Three others of the crew
clung to the pier and made their way
up to the bridge proper.
There is no way of estimating the
number of lives that were lost on the
river craft that happened to be near
when the tornado came. Hundreds of
barges were moored all along the
river bank. In some instances as
many as ten or twelve persons were on
board when the anchorage gave way
under the terrible strain. Men were
blown into the water and the destruc
tion of life will be large.
The storms swept diagonally across
the river and struck the Illinois bank
with increased fury. The loss of life
in the water on the east side seems to
be light, as everybody was cautioned
not to jump, and everybody was car
ried safely to land.
Hie City of Providence was blown
up on the Illinois bank. The St. Louis
and St. Paul Packet Company's
steamer St. Paul had started for
Keokuk when the tornado struck the
city. She has not been heard from
since. She had a full cabin list. The
Belle of Calhoun and the Libbie Con
dor, which were moored near Choteau
avenue, were almost totally broken ud.
The Ellen 11. Smith, the harbor
boat, was blown away down the river
and was wrecked near Arsenal Island.
It is thought no lives were lost on this
boat.
The steamer Ed Harvester of the
Missouri Vallev Transportation Com
pany was torn from its dock and car
ried down the river.

THIRTY PATIENTS MISSING.
f ifty Mora Hospital Patients Arm Harted
In th bebrls.
St. lAris, Mo., May 30. While the
storm was at its height fully thirty
patients at the city hospital ran away.
They have not been heard from since.
The most horrible work of the storm
was the destruction of divisions No.
8 and ft. These were the largest build
ings in the west central portion of the
hospital proper. The wind passed
completely through the building,
blowing out the east and west eaves.
The roof and great piles of bricks and
timbers fell on top of fifty helpless
patients, completely burying them.
Not one of them has yet been rescued,
and their rescuers have about de
spaired of getting them out alive.
The consumptive ward is at the ex
treme south west corner of the build
ing. More than fifty patients were
confined there, and every one of them
had a narrow escape from an instant
and horrible death.
When the wind struck the building
it fell apart as if it had been so much
cardboard. Luckily the south wall
fell outward. The wind switched
around and carried the west wall out
ward. It took twenty patients with
it at the same time, and deposited
them in the yard fifty feet below.
The wall hit the ground before the
patients did, and while a number were
badly injured by the fall, only one
was killed. His name was James
Dunn. He was taken out of the ruins
half an hour later. Every boue in his
body was crushed, and he was only
identified after the ro-ter of the sur
viving patients was taken.

Rhubarb and Orange Jam.
As soon ns rhubarb is a little lower
in price and before oranges are gone,
every housewife who is fond of either
fruit should make a few pots of the
delicious jam that combines them both.
Wipe the rhubarb until clean and dry,
and cut it into tine pieces without
peeling. Peel half a dozen oranges,
cut away all the white underskin, take
out the seeds, and divide the oranges
into quartern. Open each carpel that
holds the pulp and take that out, be
ing careful to save all the juice. Put
the rhubarb, orange pulp and juice
with a pound and a half of granulated
sugar, stir until the sugar is melted,
then cook slowly until a fine mass.
When it begins to thicken cool a little
in a saucer. Put away in tumblers
and cover with waxed or oiled paper.
A very good jam of the rhubarb is also
made without the oranges. Use one
pound of sugar to each pound of the
fruit, and flavor each pound with the
grated yellow rind of half a large
lemon. Stir and skim frequently while
cooking. New York Post.
Rutabagas for Fodder.
It is gratifying to see so many'Amer
ican farmers putting their waste places
or spare pieces of land into rutabagas
and turnips for early fall or long win
ter feeding. They are getting the Eu
ropean ideaof root crops. Theie the tur
nips and rutabagas are sown broadcast
as are almost all grains, and if not de
sired as roots, the foliage then is -.:8ed
for green food. Just imagine the results
of a twenty-acre oatpatch treated in
this way! Think of the tremendous
amount of green fodder, magnificent
fodder too, coming into full play dur
ing hot August and September. Why,
a field of rutabagas and turnips, there,
for cattle food is worth almost as much
as the oats gathered therefrom! An
other good plan is to sow rutabaga
seed, especially the variety known as
Salzer's LaCrosse, Wis., Mammoth Rus
sian variety, or his Milk Globe turnip
sort, at the rate of one-half pound per
acre, into the cornfield, Just before the
last cultivation. This will give you
two good crops one of corn, the ither
of roots from the same land! One ad
vantage of the rutabaga is that It can
be sown at any time of the summer for
ereen food, while a sowing the latter
part of July is the best in northern
states for bie. sweet. Juicy roots for
winter storage and use.
