Plan TO AVERT
Mine DISASTERS
UNITED STATES INVITES FOR
EIGN EXPERTS HERE TO
GIVE ADVICE.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-In re-
Spouse to an invitation extended byl
the United States government on be-
half of the geological survey, Great
Britain, Germany and Belgium will
send to this country next month their
leading experts in the prevention of
mine disasters to aid in the inaugur-
alton of the work of safeguarding the
mines here. The negotiations were
conducted through the state depart
ment and word has been received
here from the American ambassadors
at London and Berlin, and the Ameri-
can minister at Brussels that the
three countries have acceded to the
request of the United States and that
the experts will be granted a leave of
absence for two months
The three experts who will sail for
New York next month, are: Captain
Desborough, inspector of explosives
under the home Office, Great Britain;
Herr MISSIONER, the head of the Ger
man mine service, and Victor Wat
teyne, engineer in chief, administra-
ton of mines, Belgium.
/ 1t is expected that the experts will
reach New York about the first of
September and go to Pittsburg, where
the United States geological survey
is now engaged in erecting plant for
( the purpose of conducting investiga-
1 tions into the cause of mine explo-
sions. In company with the experts
in charge of the chronological branch
of the survey, the party will visit the
anthracite fields of Pennsylvania, the
bituminous fields of western Pennsyl-
vania, the coal fields of Illinois,
Wyoming, Colorado, Alabama, West
Virginia and Oklahoma, in order that
they may learn the conditions under
which coal is mined in this country.
Experimental stations for the pre-
vention of disasters in the mines have
been in operation for a number OF
years in each country, represented by
the experts with the result that the
death rate of the mines has been re-
duced to a minimum.
In the United States there have
been no Investigations along this line
and this country has a most unenvi-
able record of deaths, the number
killed in the several states being from
two to four times greater for eacf
1000 miners employed in these for
eign countries.
George s. Rice, consulting Goa
mining engineer of the United States
geological survey, sailed Saturday TO
Europe to investigate the methods o
mining there, having in view the pre-
vention of waste of coal and the los
of life in mining.

EDITORIAL CONFIDENCE.

The following description of the
panic which has just passed is writ
ten up in the following style by the
humorous journal Puck:
Once there was man who bought
a beautiful gold brick, for which he
paid the sum of ten or fifteen dollars,
although it looked exactly as If it
were worth ten or fifteen thousand.
Then he took it home and, open
ing his ledger made an entry which
materially swelled his assets.
Then he mortgaged his home and
bought an automobile and a season
ticket for the opera, and gave a
large dinner at Sherry's. And why
should he not, for was he not rich
man and could he not prove it by
his ledger?
And then one day it occurred to
him to examine his gold brick a lit
tie more closely. Whereupon he
found that it was worth only 10 or
Is cents.
He lost confidence Immediately,
and the effort he made to get rid
Of the brick brought on severe
panic.

Two shall be born the whole wide world
apart
And speak in different tongues and have
no thought
Each of the others being and no heed,
And these DER unknown seas to unknown
lands
Shall cross, escaping wreck. defying
death
And all unconsciously shape every act
And bend each wandering step to this one
end
That one day out of darkness they shall
meet
And read life's meaning in each other'B
eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way of
life,
So nearly side by side that should one
turn
Ever so little space to left or right
They needs must stand acknowledged face
to face,
And yet with wistful eyes that never
meet,
with cropping hands that never clasp and
lips
Calling in vain to ears that never hear,
They seek each other all their weary Gays
And die unsatisfed. And this is fate.

framing from any discussion of the

auditors was citizen in a policeman's
helmet who marked the omission and
interrupted.
How about the Phillipayinsr' he
asked with a brogue which left no
doubt as to his nativity.
Major Newman continued without
appearing to notice the questioner.
"How about the Philippians" came
again at the end Of one OF the majors
best periods.
Half dozen Of these Interruptions
followed with no apparent let-up to the
Irishman's persistence.

length. "I'lI tell you about the Phillip
ayins."
The imitation of the brogue was per-
feet. and everybody chuckled.
"Pll tell you confidentially," said the
major seriously, what I'm in favor of
doing with the Philippians. I'd trade
the Philippians to Great Britain for
Ireland, and then we could raise our
own policemen"

Montai0ne On Feoas.
In discussion nothing vexes me 20
much with folly as that 1t is more sat
isfied with itself than wisdom can rea-
sonably be. Obsttnacy and foolhardi-
ness fill their possessors with JOY and
assurance. IT'S for the most ignorant
to look at other men over the shoulder,
always returning from the combat full
Of JOY and triumph. And for the most
part this assurance of speech and gay
ETY. of countenance give them the bet
ter of 1t In the opinion Of the audience.
Obstinacy of opinion in argument is
the surest proof Of folly. Is there any
thing so assured, resolute, disdainful,
serious and grave as the ass?

Charles Fl. Ball. the latter the county

Little Rock Saturday to confer with
Governor Pindall relative to commits
sioning an acting treasurer for Ar
kansas county.
Two weeks ago the bondsmen of
Treasurer Ireland held a meeting at
which the question of the alleged
shortage was taken up, and Treasur-
er Ireland declared that when a com
plete investigation was made IL would
show that he had not appropriated any
of the county funds TO his personal
use.
Mr.. Bail presented a Statement in
which it appeared that difference of
about $4,000 existed between the
amounts shown to have been collect
ed by Mr. ireland and the amount in
hand or shown to be disbursed on war
rants. Mr.. ireland offered to deed
such property as he had to the bonds
men, and proposed to turn over a sum
of money in the Humphrey bank. in
an effort to balance the accounts. This
has been done. leaving a balance of
about $4,000

The question of good roads is at
tracing much attention in the vicin-
fly of Ozark and the best methods of
building and maintaining the highawsy
are discussed with more interest than
ever before. It is probable that some
proposition will be submitted to the
next General Assembly by citizens of
Franklin county looking to a change
in the present methods. A. J. Tubbs,
who has devoted much thought to the
matter. suggests that the present sys-
tenn of paying 81 per day for an over
seer who looks after the work of from
one TO three men is too expensive He
thinks roads should be improved al
together by money derived from taxa
ton or that the tax system should be
abolished altogether and the roads
worked directly as formerly.
He also suggests the enactment of
q law which will prohibit the use of
freight wagons in the state having less
than three-inch tires and the exemp-
ton from all taxation of wagons hav-
ing tires four inches or more in width.

Steamboats, for Sale.

1t is potable that before the present
summer is over Little Rock will be
represented in the Arkansas river
traffic by boat of more than ordinary
tonnage capacity. This view of the
situation was expressed Thursday by
a Little Rock business man who will
invest in the proposed river undertake
ing.
Little Rock can buy at once q boat
that is all ready for traffic One boat
can be purchased for $4,000 cash and
the other for $4,000 cash. The $4,000
boat. is is explained, is in the control
of Kentucky capitalists and the $780,
600 boat is owne dby Florida people.
1t has been demonstrated. said
the business man, that the Arkansas
river is navigable in midsummer at or
binary water stages, from the mouth
TO Muskogee. The trip of the City Of
Muskogee up the river little more
than a week ago proves the fact. The
trip of this boat up the river has
given an impetus to the Importance of
Little Rocks getting into the river
traffic"
