TWENTY-FIVE PERSONS
KILLED BY KANSAS TORNADO
Town of Andale is Mass of Wreckage.
Occupants of Several Houses
Beaten to Death by Flying
Timbers.
Wichita, May 25. Twenty-five per
ons' are known to have been killed,
more than fifty have received injuries
from which it is said several will die,
and property worth thousands of dol
lars upon which no valuation has yet
been set was destroyed late today
when a tornado swept up through
Sedgwick and Harvey counties in the
South central part of the state.
Andale, a village of less than three
liundred inhabitants, bore the brunt of
the twister's rage, seventeen lives be
ing the toll before the storm, which
was accompanied by a blinding rain,
bore on to the northwest.
The country southeast of Newton
furnished the remaining fatalities,
three lives being lost five miles from
that city.
The county between Andale and
tfewton was pierced by a path from a
quarter to a half mile wide where the
twister ground everything in its path
"either to death or to inanimate de
struction. Sedgwick, the largest town
between Andale and Newton, barely
scaped from the storm's fury, a few
houses in one corner of the city limits
being the only loss. -
So suddenly did the tornado arise
find so well did it do its work that
telephone and telegraph lines were
broken before word could be sent
ahead of the impending danger.
The sun had been shining but a few
minutes before in Andale when sud
denly the throaty roar which Kansans
tiave come to know means death and
destruction was heard coming from
the southwest. Before word could be
Jiassed around the little village and
even before some of those hearing it
could escape to storm cellars and base'
ments the storm burst with all its rage
It w ent as quickly as it came, leav
ing behind a wreck of what a moment
before was a sleeping village.
Information of the catastrophe
reached here when a young farmer
rode to a nearby town and informed
the railroad authorities.
A special train was hastily gathef
ed and with doctors and nurses was on
the scene within an hour. First aid
tras given to the injured and the most
severely hurt, with the bodies of the
Victims were brought here.
Telegraph and telephone companies,
lave reported a storm condition per
vading all of southern Kansas.

. Washington, May 23. (Official Bul
letin.) The Provost Marshal Gener
al's office, in charge of the registration
for the selected army, finds that the
greatest amount of misunderstanding
has arisen in connection with the
method of registration by absentees.
It is not sufficient for the absentee to
obtain a registration card and fill in
the answers, for he must file his card
with the county clerk where he hap
pens to be, or, if he is in a city of moty
than 30,000 inhabitants, with the city
clerk. The clerk is required to fill in
certain information on the back of
the card regarding the height, build,
color of eyes and hair, whether or not
the person registering is bald, and
whether he has lost an arm.hand, foot,
or both eyes, or is otherwise disabled.
Must Send Cards Home,
After this information has been sup
plied and the clerk has certified the
card, it will be returned to the ab
sentee, who must mail it to the regis
trar of his home voting precinct so
that it will reach that official not later
than registration day. A self-ad
dressed stamped envelope should be
inclosed with the card, so that a reg
istration certificate may be returned
to the absentee.
The officials in charge of the regis
tration also desire to point out that
question 9, which asks whether the ap
plicant has a. dependent child, brother,
or sister tinder 12, does not intend to
fix that age as . the maximum for
which exemption may be claimed on
account of dependent minor relatives.
Only for Census Purposes.
The question is intended only for
purposes of census. Twelve was the
figure fixed in the Civil War draft.
. Question 10, in which the person
registering is asked whether he is
married or single, requires an answer
as to the present status of the appli
cant. ' If his wife is dead or he is di
vorced, he should register as single.
A divorced wife, even though draw
ing alimony, will not be considered as
a dependent relative.

SOUR STOMACH
MOTHER OF THE ARMIES
The mothers of the armies.
In churchyard old they sleep,
No more to wake and worry,
No moreo watch and weep;
For rust has spiked the cannon,
And choked the bugle's throat,
And hushed o'er hill and valley
The drum's defiant note.
They sent them forth to battle,
From many a cottage door,
The sons they loved and cherished
And feared to see no more;
They sat by lonely hearthstones,
And waited, sick with dread,
To welcome back the crippled,
Or mourn the hero dead.
And when with fragrant blossoms
We deck the blue and gray,
Oh, twine a dewy garland
Upon Memorial day
A tribute to the mothers
Who each with bleeding breast,
Gave freely to her country
Her dearest and her best.
