CONFIRMATION EXERCISES At the Temple Tonight and To-
 morrow.


 The Jewish Pentecost. which is to be celebrated this evening and tomor- row morning, is called "Shebuoth" or 'sFeast of Weeks" on account of its being computed by weeks, in'the man. ner specified in Deut. xvi, g. In Pales- tine, Shebuoth was practically a haf7 vest festival at which the first sacri- flee of the new corn was offered. When the sacrificial culte was abolished the custom widely prevailed of adorning the Synagogue with plants and flowers as a thank offering, for the rich gifts of nature produced by that Wisdom which regulates the seasons and blesses the products of the earth.
 The Feast of Weeks is also supposed to commemorate an historical event, the law-giving on Mount Sinai. It is in harmony with this latter aspect of the holiday. that the ordinance of the Synagogue prescribes the Confirmation of Children for Shebuoth-a ceremony which is, at most. a renewed pledge of fealty to the law.
 Temple Kahl Montgomery will ob- serve the feast with a special service this evening at 8 o'clock, during which Rabbi Messing will deliver a short ser mon.
 Friday morning the Matin Service will commence at 9:30 o'clock and the Confirmation exercises at 1915 o'clock during the progress of which the temple doros will be closed. The following program will be rendered.: Confirmation Ode.

Not the Right Smith.

Some days ago The Advertiser pub lished letter from Rev. J. F. Gay, now living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was a greeting to the Episcopal Council. and referred to the one held here in 1S45. and of which he was a member. In the letter reference was made to "a MT. Smith," and The Ad- vertiser stated that the reference was to Rev. J. k. Smith, for so many years devoted missionary in the Diocese. Rev. R. H. Cobbs, D. D., writes that this was d mistake as the Rev. J. F. Smith did not enter the Episcopal min istry until 1S5S. The gentleman al- Iuded to was MT. Aristides Smith. who followed Bishop Cobbs to Alabama and opened a high school in Tuscaloosa in lS45.

AT the time the Wichita boys arrived
we needed hremen more than fire eXtin-

more fremen in a case like that. Our

CITY CONTINUES TO SPREAD
Another New Addition Is Dated and

Wichita seems to be breaking over the
boundaries which the public have ascrib-

know what is best she is spreading. Yes

filed a plat of another new addition TO

It is not a very large addition but it is
an addition and enlarges the boundaries
Of the city just that much whether it be
actually within the corporate libits or
not The new addition is south of Tween
ty-third street and runs west from Main
TO the alley between Water and Wichita
streets and hence is west of the John

There have been good many houses
built ia that section since last spring and
the city seems TO be spreading out from

river. There are several business hOus-

WAS PURELY AN ACCIDENT
Coroner McCOIister Inquiries Into
Cause Of Death

Coroner AIcCollister inquired in the cir
cumstsnces Of the death of w. s. Wilson
who was killed by a Missouri Pacific en-
CINE last Saturday and he has decided
that there is no occasion for holding an
Z inquest
The coroner says that Mr.. Wilson was
q years Of age and that two of his sons
and one son-in-law are employees Of the
old gentleman was thoroughly posted on
the time Of trains on that road arriving
here. That the train that caused his
death was behind time and the old gen
teman evidently thought it was a switch
engine coming onto the switch and that
he stepped on the main track to get out
of the way of the switch.
The engineer of the engine that struck
him said that if he had kept right on
there would have been no danger but all
unexpected to him, Mr.. Wilson turned
back Immediately in front of his engine.
Coroner McCollister says the people
who saw the killing and the family OF
Mt. Wilson are thoroughly convinced
that it was an unavoidable accident. and
that neither the engineer or the railroad
company We're responsible for il. He
says he is going to save the county heavy
costs in such cases by refusing 10 hold
