REMAINED IN ROOM

PENSACOLA Fla, April 16-"Every Off
Ger and man on the Missouri is hero, and
that, too, under circumstances which would
try the bravery of the very best man on
EARTH" said an officer of high rank here
to-day who is thoroughly familiar with
the circumstances of the explosion on the
Missouri and the conduct of the officers
and men during the fifteen minutes that the
fire ragged in the turret and handling room.
Information received to-day from the Mis-
souri, throws but little additional light upon
the cause of the explosion, all agreeing
that the rapid firing was the primary
cause
The day brought forth many incidents of
heroism displayed by officers and men. Two
of the men now in the hospital will re-
ceive recognition from the department for
valiant service. These two men are Sea-
men McDade and Welles. While many
others of the crew assisted i'm saving the
ship from destruction by explosion of the
magazines, the vessel undoubtedly would
have gone to the bottom but for the act
of these men. They were in Magazine ID
25'' when the first explosion occurred and
sparks began dropping from the turret to
their magazine. At the time the trough
through which powder is passed open
and about four charges of powder on the
outside. McDade saw the danger. Knowing
the powder on the outside would catch
and unless the opening in the magazine was
closed that. too. would explode, he reached
his arm through the opening and attempted
to unfasten the catch to close the opening,
but it refused to work. He then placed
his body in the opening until Welles could
empty a large powder can. and when this
was done the can was showed into the open
ing, partly closing 1t. The men then filled
all cracks with swab, thus preventing any
flames from penetrating the magazine.
On deck men stood at their posts like
real heroes. The strain not of the
kind when a ship is in battle but one more
terrible, for every man expected the ship
to go up any moment b. the explosion of
the magazines. Standing by the side of

Two years ago the Pharmacy Board of

analysis made of all the cough medicines
that were sold in that market. Out of the

declared was entirely free from all poi

Iowa, U. S. A. The absence olall narcotics
makes this remedy the safest and best

its makers for coughs, colds, Group and

Chestnut Substitute for HemlOck Bark

One of the industries of Titusville that
has brought employment to a consdera-
BILE number of laborers and teamsters, as
well as profit to farmers and lumbermen,
is the use of chestnut wood for tanning
purposes. Early last spring the mill for
grinding chestnut was established in con-
dection with the Queen City Tannery. In
the beginning it was more or less of an
experiment, but at present it has entered
the stage where its permanency is as
sured, at least as long as chestnut timber
lasts.
There is now in the yards a stock of
from 6 900 to 5000 cords ofchestnut wood,
four to six feet in length. Three thousand
cords are cut and piled, ready for ship
ment here from the woods around TiO-
nesta, There are perhaps $500 cords
along the line of the D. A. V. IL P. X. r.
between Titusville and Grand Valley,
with 1000 cords piled in the woods of
Troy township. This is not timber which
is valuable for any other purpose, unless

knots or any other portion of the tree, cut
small enough to enter the hopper, are
available. The Topper is fitted with
grinding knives. A piece of wood eight
inches in diameter and six feet in length
is ground int pieces as large as matches
in three or four seconds.
These small pieces are carried by an
elevator into another hopper, where they
ty of hemlock bark. The pulverized
wood and bark are then conveyed by
elevators to watts, where the liquor is eX-
tracted. 1t makes very nice leather,
equally as good as hemlock bark alone.
The scarcity of bark in this immediate
vicinity has made the experiment neces-
sary in order to keep the tannery in III
tusville. That it has proved successful
needs no further proof than that large
quantities of the wood are being pur-
chased and stored. In the yards at pres
ent is a stock sufficiently large to last the
tannery until some time next summer.
1t is now proposed, at a cost OF about
$40, 600, to install an eyaporator IN con-
nection with the chestnut wood process.
This will be used to take the water from
the tanning liquor, producing heavier
and more powerful liquid. When this
is done it will no longer he necessary TO
use bark in connection with the wood.
owing to the wide tire legislation, it is
stated that the greater part of the stock
this year will be shipped here. The wood
cut and piled in Troy township and in the
vicinity of Hyd'town will be drawn
when sleighing comes. s.-Ttusville Her
