j 1 Hnlshen. 140S Harney street, the
plumblns contractor, .who complained of
unfair treatment by the Board of Educa
tion on the ground that an outalde firm
was given the contract by the board and
to power to draw plans for other com
petitors, has started something.
Plans and specifications for heating and
ventilating apparatus in new school build
ings are drawn by Bam R. Lewis of Chi
cago. Bids for the construction of the
work are put in by Lewis & Kitchen of
Kaneaa City and Chicago. These bide are
signed by ,,S. R. Lewis. Mgr." Secretary
Burgess of the Board of Education says he
does not think that the 8sm R. Lewis who
draws the plans is the same 8. R. Lewis
who is manager of the Lewis A Kitchen
firm. Huperlntendent Mnlayson says the
man who draws the plana and specifica
tions and who puts in the bids for Lewis
Kitchen Is one and the same.
"This Is all news to me." says David
' Cole, president of the Board of Education.
aAd the matter will most certainly be in
vestigated. Mr. Hanlghea makes a point,
I believe, when ha says that the party
furnishing the plana should not be allowed
to submit, a bid for the construction, of the
work. The board meets in regular session
Monday evening and this will be brough up
at that time for thorough Inquiry."
Buperlnledent Flnlayson intimates that
' before outside bidders were Invited local
contractors formed a pool and forced the
prices up. Now all have to bid on rock
ottom prices, and tha board la saving
money.

"We paid tl&OOO for the heating, ventllat
. Ing and plumbing In the twelve-room Vin
too school building," aald the superintend
ent. "while in the e.Bteen-room Franklin
building we will pay but IMKA, one-third
aa much (or heating, ventilating and
plumbing. Nona but lecal contractors sub
mitted bids for tha Vinton work. Leais at
' XJlcbea war brought la on tha Franklin
work. By Inviting outside bidders we have
broken this pool and brought prices down,
and I am firmly convinced that were It not
for Lewis & Kitchen we would have had to
pay $10,000 for the work In the Franklin
school building Instead of ts.000."
The superintendent of buildings says that
there are but three successful maiiea of
heat regulating devices, apparatua whereby
heat Is automatically turned off when a
certain temperature has been attained.
Tbeae apparatus are made by Johnson,
Powers and Naahnell, and specifications
call for one of these. Local contractors are
as well able to obtain them as foreign bid
ders, he says.
President Cole has instructed Secretary
Burgess to investigate the complaint of the
local contractor and to make a full report
of his findings to the board when it meets.

The Missouri river Saturday morning
marked a riae of half a foot, making the
stage now 17$ feet. Just a bare two-tenths
of a foot from the flood stage of eighteen
feet. And the river is still rising. Half a

I and a stationary stage at Sioux City. The
river la consequently one-tenth of a foot
hlsher than at the hlKh water stage of
June of last year.
NoNj-ouble has thus far manifested itself
at Florence lake, Cut-Off lake or at East
Omaha, but the people up there are get
ting a trifle anxious. A rise of another i
foot might make things Inconvenient at
Eaat Omaha and at the same time cause
some anxiety at Florence lake. The river
has in recent years reached a stage of 18.5
feet without a flood and it is believed this
stage, if reached during the present high
water, will not cause any material damage
to the river front at Omaha.
The same general rlae la noted southward

lowlands being flooded on the Iowa side

The ralnfali at Omaha, Friday night, waa

other points In the Omaha district, but was
not sufficient to csuse any rise In the
river from these ralna. A high barometer
prevails In tha mountains and la moving
eastward, which may presage a cessation
of the rains.
River authorities are of the opinion the
creet of the rise In the river will be reached
by Sunday and from the fact that It is
stationary at Sioux City, any further rlae
will be relatively very small.

Though. Gross Earnings Fell OS
Nearly Halt Million, Net Gala
Exceeded Thla Decrease hy
Low Operating Cost.
The statement of the Union Pacific for
the month of April Is remarkable for the
decrease In operating expenses, a decrease
which Is attracting attention In the railroad
world. It Is accounted for .In a large meas
ure, by the track of the Vnlon Pacific west,
which was in auch good condition at the
beginning of the financial flurry, and whn
business fell off that little work was re
quired to keep it In shape.
Although the gross revenue of the tnlon
Pacific fell off $447.42.26 In April, the oper-
tlng expenses decreased $908,176.82 In the
. . ... . ,
same month, making a net increase in
earnings of $166.9), the taxes having In-1
creased pearly $3.0f. 1
The gross revenue of the company was
$5.968.&3.S3 for April. 19". as against
$M14. 196.07 In 1907. The total expenses of
operation and taxes were t3.169.S76 this year.
aa compared to $:.351.364, a saving of over
$900,000. Thus the net Increaee of revenue.
over operating expensea and taxea, was
$455.f40. or greater than the Increaae In
gross revenue.
The road, however, although showing a
gain In net for April, shows a loss for the
ten months of the flscsl year ending April
SO. For the ten months, the gross revenuo
haa been $64,061,450, an Increase of $1,374,776
whereas the expenses and taxes have been
$37,889,659. an increase of $3,713,841. The
revenue over operating expenses and taxes
for the ten months shows a decrease of
$2,339,064.67.
Comparatively speaking, public attention
has been but slightly directed In any spe
cific way to the matter of accidents to
employes on American railroads. It Is
certainly one of the most distressing fea
tures to be studied in connection with the
safety problem. Collisions, derailments, de
fective handholds and brake apparatus and
the like cause Injuries to great numbers
of employes.
For example, at Haverhill, N. H., the
other dsy, five employes were Instantly
killed through the alleged ; carelessness or
oversight of a fellow employe. Such In
stances, of course, are particularly painful
topics for discussion among railroad men,
and yet this la the kind of an accident
one reads about In the newspapers almost
dally. But In twenty-four hours the read
ing public will forget the very worst of
these accidents to employes. Their fre
quency takes edge off their significance.
During the year 1907, on a single Amer
ican railroad. 104 employes were killed
outright, and 8,675 were Injured. The cost
of these accidents to the railroad In ques
tion was something .like $286,000. With an
employers' liability law In force and oper
ation, as In countries abroad, the Increase
In total paid to employes alone on thla
road would have carried the aggregate to
half a million dollars.
The magnitude and Importance of tha
safety problem In relation to employes Is
still more evident when we consider that
for the year ended June 30, 1907, the cas
ualty list on American railroads shows a
total of all persons killed, from all causes,
of 6,000, and Injured 72.286; the totals for
employes alone being 4,353 killed and 62.68T
Injured.
The following figures In regard to actual
train accidents and the casualties resulting
therefrom show a rather, discouraging state
of affairs, from the fact that the em
ployes themselves were In the main re
sponsible for them. In 1904 the killed and
Injured employes In train accidents num
bered 7.834; In 1905, 7.850; In 1906. 8.3A2. and
In 1907, $.936. As with all other Items, so
with accidents to employes, the total of
casualties haa largely Increased year by
year. Atlantic Monthly

No wise person will ever abuse the

If the bowels are calloused, yom may
