Kirksville. Mo. April 2S.-As result
of the tornado that swept through the
eastern portion of this city yesterday
evening. ademolishing half of the resi-
dences and other buildings, 200 fami-
miles are homeless and nearly fifty
dead bodies and seventy injured per-
sons have been recovered from the
ruins. More than a dozen Of the in
jured will die.
Although rescuers have been search
ing the ruins ever since the storm spent
its fury, many are still missing and it
it thought that a considerable number
of the unfortunates were consumed in
the flames that broke out soon after
the storm had ceased. The work of
rescue continues but it may be days
before the total number of victims is
known.
As far as known the names Of the
dead and injured are as follows:

james G.. Blaine was nonplussed
once while he was Secretary Of
State. One OF the applicants for o
Consulate in Japan was the late
Samuel Kimberley, Of Baltimore,
who died in the service in Central
America. After he had presented
his credentials Mr.. Blaine said

Mr.. Blaine hadn't word to say,
but the japanese post went to an
other man, all the same, and Kim
berley went to Central America.
Another story is told Of kimber-
ley equally as creditable to his nim-
BILE wit. One day he met . young
woman who threw her arms impnl.
sively around his neck and kissed
him. Seeing her mistake. she drew
