Jew was convinced that mere morality
could not satisfy the soul 3. Both sought
help in their distress, and direction In
settling the question of their souls well
fare.
Here similarity ends, and henceforth
they travel divergent roads forever and
ever. Their inquiries ended differently not
because Of external conditions, for he
who was most highly favored pushed
away the preferred help. The difference
was in the men themselves, the condition
of their souls. The influence of that de-
cision was final The Jew went away
sorrowful. All the gold in the world
cannot satisfy the cravings of the soul.

WILL TEST AIR BRAKES.
Missouri Pacific Engineer Will Go to
Colorado Springs.

J. y Morrissey, one of the responsible
engineers on the Missouri Pacific road.
viii so to Colorado Springs next Sunday
to attend a meeting of the manufacturers
Of railroad air brakes.
The railroads all over the country will
have representatives at the meeting. but
Mr. Morrissey is going on his own ac-
count. He said that he wanted TO find
out all there was TO learn about air
brakes, because the proper working of the
air brakes sometimes prevents very seri-
Gus accidents The air brake people are
going TO give some tests on a four per
cent grade and ii is that Mr. Morrissey
especially wishes to see. The four per
cent grade is a rise Of four feet TO every
hundred feet and any one can see that
would be running on a grade pretty near
~ equal to a common house roof.
These times when one reads pretty
nearly every day of fatal railroad acci-
dents, he does not need TO be told that
the engineer Of the passenger train who
virtually holds the lives Of his passengers
in his hand, ought TO understand his bust
ness. That is just what Ny. Morrissey
ra~opQSeS to do.

REVIVAL MEETINGS.
Or. L. D. lamkin at Auditorium This
Afternoon and Tonight.

DR.. Lamkin preached on Yoke-bearing,
or The Secret of Finding Rest. at the
forenoon meeting yesterday. He said
there is a difference between the rest
Jesus gives the soul and the rest that he
points out for us TO find. Rest is found
by having new yoke imposed on Us:
no. not imposed. but one which Jesus
bears and asks us to share with Him
There are four characteristics Of this
yoke. It is the yoke of Gods will, of
service. Of suffering. and Of reward.

$4,000 WILL
BE CALLED FOR
Board of Education Wants
That Amount of Bonds.
TOENLARGEWARD SCHOOLS
Each Building Will Come in
for an Addition.

The board of education at its meeting
issue a call for special election to he
held May 18th, at the same time as the
congressional election TO vote on a propo-
sition to issue $4,000 in bonds for school
building purposes. At the last meeting
of the board the building committee was
instructed to visit the schools and report
what each building needed to accommo-
date the pupils. Although their report
has not been completed and the details
of the amount TO be expended for each
school determined, it was stated authora-
lively yesterday that approximately fifty
thousand dollars would be asked for by
the board in order TO put the ward
schools of the city in the proper condi-
ton.
Some of the schools need but little
additional room at the present time, but
some of the members of the board know
that these schools Will need more room
in a short time, owing to considerable
increase in population. Some of the
schools are crowded now to such an ex-
tent that in some of the lower grades
two session have to be held each day
because of lack of room to accommodate
the pupils The board Will endeavor by
judicious use of the money to remedy
the present conditions and also provide
for the usual increase each year
In the four year closing this school
term the attendance in the Wichita
schools has increased a little more than
twenty-five per cent Four years ago
the total enrolment in all of the city
schools was a little less than four thou
and. At present the enrolment is lit
tie more than four thousand and the
larger part of this increase has been
within the last year or two. Two years
ago several thousand dollars were eX-
pended on additions to some of the
schools and these same buildings are
now overcrowded in some of the grades
The additions to some Of the buildings
will only be two rooms, while in some
il will be three or four and the approx
mate cost of the building and equipment
as figured by the board at the present
time with accommodations for the usual
increase for two or three years is fifty
thousand dollars. In a few years at
least another building will have to be
erected and this will cause redistricting
of the city. a

WOUNDED
NEGRO FOUND NEAR FRISCO
TRACKS YESTERDAY.
Claimed to Have Been Shot While in
Old Mexico.

About noon yesterday it was reported to
the police that a colored man bad been
found wounded on Central avenue, near
the Frisco tracks. Two policemen We're
sent to the spot and found the colored
man, with a bullet wound in his right
leg. He refused TO give his name, but
stated that he had been shot in Old
Mexico. He stated that ne had hired a
cab to take him to the hospital, but that
he was refused admittance and the cab
man dumped him out on the track. The
police took him TO the ST. Francis hos
pitaI, where his wound was examined.
The physician who examined il stated
that he had been shot about a week be-
fore. This threw a little suspicion around
the negro's statement that he had been
shot while in Old Mexico, and it is the
prevailing opinion that the negro was
shot in the trouble at Joplin, Mo, about
a week ago.

WAS PECULIAR ACCIDENT

VIII Pollard. an expert shirt finisher in
the employ Of the Kansas Steam laundry
was painfully scalded early yesterday
morning from the explosion of the big
cylinder of the mangle in the laundry
This nangIe is used for what is known
as fat work in the laundry, which IN
cludes the drying and ironing OF table
cloths. sheets and such articles OF a rather
pIain nature The mangle consists OF
large cylinder kept full of steam at
pressure Of 100 pounds to the inch ana
several rollers. II was the explosion Oh
this cylinder that caused Mr.. Pollard IN
Jury and a loss of 5000 TO the firm IL
seems almost a miracle that several per
sons were not killed or seriously injured
in the catastrophe. The explosion nap
pened at Z O'Clock, when nearly all OF the
EMPLOYEES were in the room and ready
for work. and about twenty people were
standing about the mangle when the eX-
nlosion occurred. Mr.. Pollard was stand
ing lust at the end Of the big machine
when the engineer turned on the steam
and the terrific explosion followed. Scald-
ing water was thrown in all directions,
He was scalded about the right arm,
shoulder and neck, but not seriously.
Mr.. Pollard came here from Dallas
Texas, a short time ago. He is an expert
shirt finisher and had charge of this
work in the laundry. He was watching
the engineer turn the steam into the
mangle when the explosion occurred.
1t is believed that this is the first ac-
cident Of the kind that ever occurred in
this country. The big cylinder which ex-
ploded is 102 inches long and "A inches
in diameter II is made of cast steel one
and one-fourth inches thick. The whole
snangle weighs six tons, the cylinder alone
weighing nearly two ton. The cause Of
the explosion is a mystery. Mr.. Cone
stated 10 the Eagle yesterday that the
only reason he could assign was that the
steam of the night before was condensed
and the high pressure Of the steam in the
morning combined with the water caused
q higher pressure than the steel could
stand The cylinder broke in two pieces,
while the machinery about it was broke
into hundreds.
Immediately after the accident the firm
wired to a Rochester factory for a ma
chine to cost $3.50, while the one lost
cost but 81 500
