and in the illinois city at with much higher estimates from other sources the work of distributing relief money has already begun in other illinois and missouri cities the extent of the storms work is

are reported to have been lost in those places but confirmatory fir direct news is lacking as to the fatalities additional dispatches from indiana show the tury of the elements was not dissipated

pall of death and gloom hangs over the mound city tonight twenty four hours have scarce been sufficient to bring its people to a realization of the horror with which it has been visited and they are yet dazed and stupefied save for the fitful glare of alie gas jets in the windows of the saloons and restaurants and the electric lights of the few hotels and other concerns that operate their own plants the entire city is still in darkness in the devastated district the search for the dead buried in tho ruins is being carried on with the aid of torches and locomotive head lights details of police keep the crowds at a distance while the air is filled with the and sobs and hysterical lamentations of the bereaved ever and anon the clanging of a gong is heard tn the distance and vehicles and street cars come to a stop while an ambulance dashes by to add one more victim to the record of the dead the streets in the center of the city usually alive with pedestrians until midnight are deserted cave those whose avocations keep them croci their families or friends while the ormmer gardens and other points of entertainment are bare of patrons grief mourning and have taken possession of the city careful tabulations of the condition gathered by the united press irom all sources show that at 8 there were victims that had been identified while fifteen still await identification most of the bodies claimed have been removed to their late homes the number of misling mi saing the majority supposedly being in the ruins of industrial establishments and residences that were totally demolished is variously estimate ia at from fifty to only a complete search of the ruins can tell the true story for the people in the stricken region seem utterly mcable to talk co berent ly men and women reported as among the missing are continually putting in an appearance while on the other hand many believed to be eafe turn out to be among the missing in tho matter of ago the dead ranga from a male baby of three months to a great great grandmother of 92 years the number 0 injured reported to police headquarters to the same hour foots up of these five are unconscious and unknown having nothing upon them by which they can be identified the injuries range from slight cuts and contusions to one unfortunate who is reported as having sustained the loss of both eyes and the fracture of skull both arms and legs and riba of the list of injured which is about one fourth of the probable total the overwhelming majority of those caught in the tornado having found their way to their homes and thus escaped the official reports nearly are reported by physicians in attendance a fatally injured or injured internally which is practically the same thing these figures relate to he city proper on the other side of the river in east st louis where the elements gathered themselves together for a supreme effort toward destruction of life and property the latest reports to the united press
