the quality of the corn, an average

ONLY A BLANK,

But 1t Knocked the Bread out of his
Mouth.
Yesterday afternoon two negro boys
were employed at the armory of the
San Antonio Rifles in cleaning up the
guns for Decoration day. One of them
found lunch left by one of the men,
bers and began eating. The other
begged for his share and was refused.
He then pointed the gun he was
cleaning at the head of the other and
told him he had better give up the
lunch. Then he pulled the trigger,
thinking, of course, the gun was
empty. The gun contained a
blank cartridge and exploded,
the wad knocking out the piece of
bread the other fellow had in his
mouth. Both negroes were badly
frightened, one thinking he was shot
and the other knowing he was a muir
derer. They both sat down and began
to weep and were thus found by
neigh boring parties who were attract
ed by the report of the gun.

If the people there as everywhere,
Would drive him from the door

SCHOOL BONDS.
The Board of EducatiOu wants
Thenl Issued immediately.

A1 informal meeting of the Committee
on School Houses and 81 e.,
and the Finance Committee OF
the Board of Education, was
held yesterday afternoon in Superin-
tendent Frissner's Office; present, Messrs.
Cox, Woodbury., Frew, Pomeroy, Gosper
q Id Mcintyre. The subject under dis
cussion was the increasing of the school
facilities in the city by the addition of
fifty-tive rooms. At the present time
there are in the city sxty-six halliday
classes, and it is anticipated that the
tifty-fiye new rooms will give all the
children chance TO attend school the
time contemplated by law. The cost of
these additions it was estimated would
be about $150,000 and TO raise this
amount of money IS soon as possible was
the subject of the discussion.
Mr.. Cox said that before new bonds
should be issued, the bonds issued while
the old Charter was in effect, which
celled. 1t was decided to recommend
that this action should be taken by the
Council.1a
The ques ion as to how soon the Coun-
Gil should be asked to call for an election
came up, and all present were in favor of
this action being taken at the earliest
date possible. 1t was suggested that it
might be possible that the proposition to
vote upon sewer bonds at the same time
might come up, but it was thought that
if the school bond election were delayed
until the sewer bonds are ready to be
voted upon. there would be no chance of
building schoolhouses during the coming
vacation. 1t was urged that the i'm
provements should be added to the
school department during the summer
vacation, and the chairmen of the two
committees were requested to visit the
City Attorney and get him to draw the
necessary ordinances and resolutions,
and bring the matter before the Council
at its first meeting.
