In several towns it amounted to a tornado and fears are entertained that there has been a loss ©of life. The damage to corn and unhar- vested small grains has been very great. In some places the rain which followed the windstorm amounted almost to a cloudburst. e At Whiting a dozen buildings are re- ported destroyed and a Mrs. Campbell was badly bhurt. At Anthon twenty bulldings were demolished by a tornado and at this place it is believed lives were lost. Communication is cut off by wire. At Rockwell City the damage by wind was less serious but the rain fell in blind- ing sheets an hour and the whole country is der water. Crops were beaten into the ground and are a total loss in many cases. At Oakland, in this county, there was a deluge of water ac- companied by a heavy fall of hail, which did much damage. A number of other places send in similar reports. ST. PAUL, July 5.—St. Paul experienced the heaviest rainstorm in years to-night. The storm began shortly after 9 o’clock | and the downpour was continuous for | over an hour. The downtown streets were flooded to a depth of nearly two | feet and in the business district much | damage was done by the flooding of cel- | jars. One large wholesale grocery had a large portion of its stock damaged by the | water pouring through the roof.

Swi [B: |8 | PAGKERS FORM | THER COMBIN Rockefeller Figures the Latest Gigantic Trust. in Companies With Immense Capital to Control the Industry. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, July 6.—A combination of gigantic companies controlling_the pacf- ing industry of the United States has finally been made, with John D. Rocke- | seller as the central figure in the finan- | cial part of the negotiations. Final ar: rangements have been made for the con- solidation of the Swift and Armour inter- of other packing concerns throughout the country. The announcement was whis- pered to-day on La Salle street and caused o little surprise. § The advent of the Standard Ofl king into the packing field is the most impor- tant move within recent years in the financial world and virtually places Rockefeller and his associates in control of the industry. The Rockefeller millions were_called into the combine because of the demand for a corporation of greater strength than local capital could form un- aided. The final steps which were taken to-day required merely the merging of the Swift and Armour interests. There are, it is sald, one or two companies not yet wholly under this control, but negotiations are ending, with a favorable outlook. Swift : Co.,” who own the Sioux City stock- yards, and the Libby, McNeal & Libby Company business recently secured con- trol of a majority of the stock of the Anglo-American Packing Company, when the Liverpool interests reported favorably to allowing the company to pass into the Lands of the combination. The Fowlers will retain a part interest in the new cor- poraticn. Armour Co. have secured control of the G. H. Hammond Packing | Company, of a part of the Fowler inter- ests and have been negotiating for the None of the individuals now engaged in the packing business will retire because ift, J. Og- den, Armour and the stockholders of other concerns will retain relative inter- ests in the Rockefeller combine., The cap- ital stock of the combine will be greatly in excess of the aggregated stock of sev- eral companies, and the present itock-l holders will receive a relatively greater | number of shares of stock for that which | they turn in. It 1s not known how soon the public | announcement of the completion of nego- tlations will be made. The combination will include all the plants owned by the companies and amounts to almost a com- plete control of the industry. G. F. Swift refused to-night either to deny or afirm the report that the combination had been | effected or that John D. Rockefeller is | interested in the reported new company. EASTERN BASEBALL GAMES.
