The world has seldom experienced such a devastation as oc curred during the past few days in Eastern Nebraska, Western Iowa, portions of Illinois, practically all of Indiana and Ohio and the Western part of Pennsylvania. On Sunday Omaha was struck by a tornado and heavy rains, destroying hundreds of lives and several million dollars worth of property. Heavy rains for five days caused the breaking of dams and 'evees throughout Indiana and Ohio, practically erery section being effected, and all rivers are at flood stage. Estimates of the dead run to near five thousand, with many places to hear from. Several small towns have been destroyed. In Dayton streets the water was thirty feet deep. Oil tankb exploded and fire destroyed many llocks in the business district, with hundreds of people who were unable to escape through thp flooded streets. Several passenger trains went through bridges into the riveri Telephone and tclcvrrapli lines are down and railroads tied up, rent dciing relief work dificult. The Ohio river has reached the 57 foot stage at Cincinnati and the low country clear to the Mississippi valley will be flooded.

Omaha and vicinity wmi awept by two dlatlnct windstorms lata Sunday afternoon, both of cyclonic In tenalty, which apread death and de atVuctlon In their wake. Fire which broke out in many of the wrecked buildings udded to the horrors. The beat available figures placed the number of dead between 100 and 2(10, with not less than 1000 more or leas aerlously Injured. The flrnt aud main storm struck Hiilaioii, three iille west of South Omaha, shortly before o'clock, and moved In a northeasterly direction through the city of Omaha, leaving a wake of death and destruction eight miles long und from four to six blocks wide. The path of the storm lay Just north of the buslncaa district, aud In cluded two of the fashionable real deuce sections, known aa West Kar nain and Ucmls Park. Practically all the buildings iu thia district were de molished, b The well-defined path of tbe storm ended at (rater Luke, near the Mis souri river, north of (he city. To add to the honors, flro broke out in many of the wrecked buildings The streets, littered with debris, were prac tloaily Impassable for the fire appara tua, and the flrea burned themselvta out except In lnalauces where tbe flame ware brought under coulrol by volunteer "bucket brigadea." The second storm swept across the Missouri river about 6:20 P. M doing considerable damage in Council Oluffa. Figures compiled early place the number of known dead In Council Blurts at nine aud a score Injured. The police ware unable properly to protect the stricken district, and aol dlers from Fort Omaha were culled out. The town was practically under martial law.
