a compromise was arranged IN th7

brought by Rev. Mr.. Thomas against
Hester in the Hot Springs Circuit
Court. by which Mr.. Hester paid
$1,000 to Mr.. Thomas to nave the
SHUT with drawn, says the Little Rock
Gazette. Mr.. Hester also made al
hdavit ,retractdng the statement
made by him, which was cause OF
the suit, in which he charged Rev.
Mr. Thomas with being one Otto
BROCK. a rascal, whom he hAd
known at Garlic Springs, Tex,
some years ago.
The conference was broughI
about at the request OF Mr.. Hes
ter's attorney. Last Monday night
Mr.. Thomas and his attorneys were
preparing to leave San Antonio for
nome, fter spending four or nve
days in Texas taking dispositions TO
be used in the suit against Hester.
Mr. Davis came to them and asked
them TO stay over until the next
morning. stating that he and Mr..
Hester were ready to arrange set
clement if it could be done. Rev.
Mr.. Thomas and his attorneys had
secured the dispositions Of some 10
witnesses and had a very strong
case, but as Mr.. Thames stated that
he WAS not after Testers money.
but simply his own vindicatfon, the
matter was settled by the payment
of $1,000 and a retraction of the
statement made by Hester.
Mr.. Thomas also secured a vol
untary aridavit from the Rev. I. Il.
Walerl of Madill, Okla, the only.
other man who ever identified him
as Otto Brock, in which Mr.. Wal
uer states that he is now satisfied
that Mr.. Thomas IS not Otto Brock.

resented the statements made by

Pine Wood DistilIation.
Among the instructive papers read
at this meeting was one on the sub
Ject of Pine Wood Oscillation" by
DR.. L. F. Hawley, of the Forrest Ser
vice. Washington, D. c. The salient
points in this paper were as follows:
All OF you are aware that a large
part OF every tree cut in numbering
oper ations never comes to the market
as a salable product. If. however, you
have not seen the figures recently COM
puted by the forest service, you viii

any wood turpentine, although some
plants are turning out a very uniform
and excellent product. On this ac-
count every one producing wood tur
pentne must work up a market with
some few customers by gradually
showing the uniformity and value of
the product slow process which
calls for an efficient and expensive
sales department.
This Is condition which it is pro
posed TO remedy by some of the future
work of the ForestService along this
line. In cooperation with the Vel
low Pine Manufacturers association
and the Georgia-Florida Sawmiu asso-
citation, 1t Is planned to eXperimentailv
refine some of the crude products from
sawmill waste and submit samples of
the refined products to the paint and
varnish makers for trial and judgment
From the results so obtained it will
be possible to determine the grades
of turpentine best to prepare for mar
ket; and when specifications are
drawn up for these grades il should
De necessary only to make the prod
;uct from any plant cores pond to
these specifications in order to find q
ready market at a price correspond
ing more closely to the actual value
of the product than at the present.
I'VE hope that the time may soon
come when every sawmill of sufficient
size will be equipped with a plant for
obtaining the turpentine from its waste
material and will be making a profit
from what was before not only use
less. but even a source of expense and
loss"

PlNEsWOOD DlSTILLATION
SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION

be surprised to learn just how large
the proportion of non-marketable prod
uct is. In the case Of the longleaf
yellow pine, from 40 to so per cent.
of the tree is not used for lumber;
this unused part includes as a. waste
in logging, stumps, limbs, Gull logs,
etc, and as a waste in saving, slabs,
edgings and sawdust
1T was to find a possible use for
these wastes from the yellow pine that
the forest service turned attention to
wood distination. Two general pro-
cesses of wood distiliation were in
use: ID The destructive distillation
to a temperature high enes.sh.pbb e SSs5fn,
pletely char it; by this process not
only turpentine but also charcoal. tar,
heavy and light oils and other prod
ucts of the decomposition of the
wood are obtained; (2D the steam dis
tillation process in which the wood
is heated by steam only; by this pro-
cess only turpentine is obtained and
the wood is not decomposed. These
processes have been used more gen
orally on lightwood which contained
more resinous matter than the usual
sawmill waste, but lately the steam
process has been applied to sawmill
waste with apparent success.
"A study of the turpent;ne produced
by these two methods has shown that
by the steam process it is possible to
prepare a turpentine fully equal to
gum turpentine and that the turpen-
tine produced by the process of de-
structive distillation is not entirely
similar in composition and properties
to gum turpentine, although it can be
used similarly in many cases. A great
difficulty in marketing of these wood
turpentines has been caused by the
variation in the composition of the
turpentine from different plants and
even in different shipments from the
same plant. The buyers and users OF
turpentine are still prejudiced against

ALL SORTS.

George c. Briceland, d jolly drum
mer from Chicago town, is one of the
best story tellers on the road. He en-
tertained quite a little crowd at the
New Filbeck last evening. The best
yarn in his string is the following:
Some years ago while attending a
lecture in Boston, said Mr.. Brice-
land, Il observed a man sitting three
seats in front of me whom l thought
| knew. j requested the person sit
ting next to him to punch the other
individual with his cane.
''Tlle polite stranger did so and
when the disturbed person turned
his head 1 discovered my mistake at
once Fixing my attention on the
lecturer and after affecting uncon-
seriousness of the whole affair | left
the man with the cane to settle with
the other the best he could. The
situation was ludicrous and embar-
RAISING.
AT last the man with the cane
asked rather Indignantly:
Didn't you tell me to punch that
man with my stick?'
Yes l said innocently.
And what did you want?' he In
quired.
. I wanted to see whether you would
punch him or not" I said as / left
my seat in a hurry.-Terre Haute

Foremost in the efforts TO QUell the
disturbance, was Ben Commons. the
Vlce-presldent of the International
Union. On West Wright street he held
up one sang after another and plead
ed with them to turn back and not go
any further. His own men he
ordered to return forthwith to
the city. A crowd OF about one
hundred was following after the
first crowd, and into this gang the La
Dor leader went, assisted by Secretary
Sara, and within two minutes the
men had been turned down Barcelona
street and sent back to the city.
