WOOD MADE FIREPROOF.

It is said that the London Metro
politan railway has freproofed all
its rolling stock without the elimi-
nation Of woodwork and the struc-
tural and decorative advantages
which woodwork affords. The meth
cd of fire proofng is the same as that
now being employed by the, admi-
ralty. This consists of the impreg-
nation Of the pores and fibers Of the
wood with chemicals such as render
the wood absolutely fiameproof.
Wood so treated is said to lose none
of its natural characteristics and has
no harmful effect upon CLUES, nails,
varnishes or metal fxings with
which is may be brought in contact.

Was Formerly Held At Dar-
danelle On Similar
Charge

The case Of J. J. Sta Ring,
charged with completely in the
robbery Of the Bank of Fulton is
set for trial in the Hampstead

Arkansas penitentiary for safe

attempted to blow open 1he safe,
butfailed togetini it. Anattempt
was made to capture the robbers
at the sine, and 7. j. Logan was
shot by one of the robbers,
receiving a load or buckshot in
his shoulder, after which he
opened fire on the man who did
the shooting, but the robbers
made good their escape.
Starting was also charged with

Blown tn Face

While testing out some poor
quality gasoline that he had been
trying to use in his engine, j. O.
Mitchell, the local blacksmith,
was painfully burned about the
face, neck and arms Wednesday
morning, and but for thepresence
of mind of the victim and prompt
action Of bystanders in extin-
gushing the flames, the burns
would doubtless have been much
more serious, and probably fatal.
Mr.. Mitchell had filled his en-
gine tank with gasoline, and as
he could not start the engine, he
decided the trouble was in the
quality of gasoline he poured
some of the gasoline into a dipper
and touched it off with a lighted
match, when he dashed it out and
some of the blazing liquid was
blown to hisface by astrong wind,
burning th E face and neck
quite severely. before the flames
could be smothered out BY BY
ISLANDERS. The burns, however,
are not deep, and it will likely be
only a few days before he will be
out again. In the meantime, the
work at the shop will be carried
on by his two assistants.

We were very much amused this

Commissioner Wallace.
We think that the Tribune did
what was right in letting the people
know what is being done by some Of
our state officials, especially as fool
ish a matter as what Wallace at.
tempted to do I was over IN Bis
!marck the other day and was inform
ed by reliable persons, that Mr..
Birdzell of the tax commission, is at
Washington attending a Democratic
meeting and will not be home for
some time.
You can verify my statement pro-
badly from members of the tax CON-
mission by asking them as to the
whereabouts OF Mr.. Birdze!l and
when he will be home. I think that
the people should know these things
when state officials are attending po-
litical meetings at the expense of the
tax payers.
