NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Fatal Collision on Choctaw.

A Choctaw special passenger train loaded with member of companies c and B, twenty-second infantry, from Fort Logan H. Roots, collided with freight train on a curve of the ChoctaW belt line at Lit tie Rock The soldiers from Fort Roots numbered over a hundred men and officers, who were en route to Fort Riley to participate Ill the army maneuvers. Fireman Doughtry of the freight, and a colored brakeman named Wyatt were instantly killed, and pri- yates Anderson, Breem, Goldman and Hill received serious injuries. Both trains were going at a rate of about eighteen miles en hour. and that others were not instantly killed is a miracle. The engineer and fireman of the special, as well as Engineer Ainsworth, of the incom- ing freight, escaped death by jump ing, but not until their engines had been reversed. A misunderstanc- ing of orders appears to have been the cause of the collision, as the freight, should have stopped at the junction to allow the special to pass onto the main line.

FLANNEL SHOULD BE WORN.
This Fabric Zs Much More HeaIthful Than Other Wooleng for
 Underwear.

In England one sees much of the hygienic wooden underwear which is so strongly urged for general adop- tion, but in this country it is less com mon. From sanitary point of view this is pity, since physicians regard it is preventative of many forms of disease. It affords the body the great est protection against cold, heat and dampness, with the least obstruction to the body's exhalation. These condi- tions are instinctively felt to be better fulfilled by wooden than by linen or cot ton fabrics. Hence the very general use of flannel garments by athletes and by members of cricket, boating and other sporting clubs, who are called upon to engage in vigorous physical exercise likely to cause profuse per- spiration, says the Hartford Times.
 As formerly woven, woolen fabrics were objectionable to many, because they iritated the skin and caused dis comfort by preventing the proper es- cape of it's eXudations. Moreover, they were as a rule so heavy as to be intolera ble for summer wear. These objectionable features have now been removed, and to make wooden cloth ing truly sanitary and suitabl for all seasons the usual process of weaving woolen fabrics has been materially modified by adopting method which produces much less closely woven texture than the ordinary flannel
 The feeling is instinctive, too, that woolen clothing is ''hot'' in warm weather; that if we wear wool in win ter to keep us warm we must wear something different in the summer to keep us cool, or be inconsistent in theory and practice. But this is a mistake.
 It is obvious to all how a noncon- ductor of heat-a woolen garment, for instance-prevents the escape of the heat of the body to a colder atmos- phere, or the ingress of heat to the body from a warmer atmosphere; familiar illus tion of which is found in the practice of wrapping ourselves In blankets to keep us warm and of wrapping ice in a blanket to keep it cold-to keep the heat in in one case, dAu HoI III tHe otHer. It may not De so easy to understand why we should clothe warm body in a blanket to cool it off O. to keep it cool when the temperature of the surrounding air is in or near equilibrium with it.
 The explanation lies in the nature and condition of the body, the woolen fabrics twofold property of noncon- ductability to heat and permea bility to moisture at the fabrics outer surface This evaporation d.sperses the heat, thus lowering the temperature. This is the reason the soldier keeps his wooden covered canteen wet in hot weather. A wet woolen garment dis poses of the surplus heat and leaves the body cool.
