HURRICANES WORK IN ILLINOIS
AND INDIANA.
Destruction at Odell, Ill, and Frobalble
Loss of Life.
Chicago, May 12,—Passengers who ar-
rived on the Chicago and Alton express
this evening report that a storm of wind
and rain strack Odell, IlL, at 3:80 o'clock
this afternoon doing great damsge to
buildings and killing several persons.
The work of destruction began just as
the train pulled into the station and con-
tinned for half an hour, A large livery
stable just west of the station was wreck-
ed, with a shed full of horses, carriages
and farmers’ teams, The hardware store
of 8. 8, Cole, a large brick structure, was
totally demolished, ard many of the
flying brick were dashed up against the
train, smashing the windows and driving
the passengers wild with excitement,
A moment after Cole's stable toppled
over, the wind swooped down upon the
brick block occupied by Q. E. Dinet,
As the storm struck building the
heavy tin roof rolled up like a sheet of
parchment, tearing away the south walls
and after flying through the air for 100
yards it fell with a crash at the eide of
the train, A lot a lumber on the east
side’of the track was ecaltered far and
wide.
The passengers eay the storm chased
the train from Pontiac to Odell, where it
overtook the cars,
Specials from Streator and Rockford,
I, and Pern, Ind, tell of a terrible wind
and hailstorm at those points. At 5:30
p. m. heavy roaring from the
south and east met just over the city of
Rockford. A downpour of immense
hailstones followed. Around Streator
the rain and hail raged for an boar and
a half and the destruction visited upon
grain, fruit and vegetation is great, At
Peru, Indiana, houses were unroofed,
trees nprooted and wheat blown down,
A large amount of stock is reported kill-
ed by lightning,
The following is told by a passenger :
“Not far from the brick block in Odell
a mass of wreckage and debris marked
the spot once occupied by the hotel
Here the havoe of the storm had been
terrible. About the hotel a circle of ra.
ined dwellings gave evidence of the cy-
clonie nature of the tornado and the re-
sistiess force of ita progress. The build.
ings had apparently been lifted bodily
from their foundations and then dashed
to the ground where they crushed into
pieces like egg shel!
How many persons were killed and
injored can not now ba known, bat it is
thought to be very large,
THE HURRICANE IN MISSOURI

ANOTHER CYCLO
The Cyclone's Deadly Work in Kansas—
NE.
~The Town of Meriden Devastated,
Topeka, May 15~A destructive cy-
clone struck the northern part of this
county yesterday and swept away a por-
tion of the town of Meriden. About ten
o'clock in the morning a dark cloud came
up suddenly from the southeast and,
sweeping through the eastern portion of
the town, did its fearful work in almost
a moment, A large number of baildings
were destroyed, The residence ocenpied
by J. L. Hartzell and family of five was
lifted from the ground and carried a dis.
tance of eight feet, One child was seri-
ously injured and will die, Eighteen or
Spenty people were more or less injured,
B. F. McKidden was picked up from the
sidewalk and carried into the air about
fifty feet and thrown against a wire
fence and was sveercly injured. Trees
were torn up by the roots and nothing
remained in the path of the terrific mon-
ster. The damage in the country cannot
be exactly learned, although it is known
to be great,
Lansing, Michigan, May 15,~A cyclone
formed a mile north of here, at the end
of Jone.’ Lake, last night, and swept in

was torn to minute fragmenta, Hishorses
were in the basement of the barn and

THE NEW TAX LAW.
The Supreme Court Decides that the Act is
Constitutional,
An important decision was handed
down last week by Judge Paxson, of the
Supreme Court, which bears upon the
congtitutiooality of the new tax law,
known as the new revenue act of June
50, of last year. The bill on which the
opinion is based was filed by Edward J.
Fox, n member of the Northampton
county bar, who prayed for an injunction
to restrain the assessors from compelling
him to comply with the act of 1885. The
lawyer claimed that the sect conflicted
with portions of the new coustitution,
because it exempts building and loan as-
goclations, manufacturing corporations
and the personal property of corpora
tions from taxation, while taxing similar
property in possession of individuals
