TO PROBE THE
LAUD OFFICE
Investigation of Tishomingo
Scandal Ordered.
A special news dispatch from Wash
ington to the Kansas City journal
nnl.llshed this moruintr says:
TnvatiirutA the Tishomiiuro land
office from terret to foundation stone
tua nrdr issued to the Dawes
commission by Acting Secretary Ryan
nf t.tm Interior department yesterday.
That the secretary does not intend
to have any of the guilty escape is evi
denced by a talk recently in which he
said that the resignation of one of the
implicated clerks had already been
offered but had been refused and that
all parties implicated in the Tisho-
mingo scandal would be held to
snEor tr Hia TTnited States court. It
is also Judsre Evan's intention to go
after certain attorneys who it is said
were in collusion with the record
clerks and thereby assisted greatly in
the selecting and locating of allot-
ments of their clients. In other words
the department is preparing a big
dragnet and everybody implicated
must either clear himself or take his
medicine.
Speaking in his usual deliberate
manner Judge Ryan said in regard to
the investigation now going on in the
territory:
"The department has already re-
ceived a preliminary report on the
Tishomingo land office scandal. A
thorough investigation has been or-
dered and the guilty parties will be
punished. The report received by the
department from the Dawes commis-
sion shows that the chief clerk of the
Tishomingo office brought about the
investigation by having his suspicions
aroused by irregularities on the part
of some of his clerical force.
"This state of affairs was at once
reported to headquarters at Muskogee
and within a few hours a thorough in-
vestigation had been ordered. So far
one clerk has been deeply implicated
while others have been placed in a
very compromising light."
INVENTORS ARE VERY BUSY
Are Contriving AH Sorts of Useful
Things for the Domestic
Department.
In this the electrical age no new bouse

aside from its utility for illuminating a
building and for running an electric fan.
the electric circuit offers many other
advantages which the public is only just
beginning to appreciate says the Scien
title American. A variety of uses of the
electric current serves in an up-to-date
home. The fatiguing treadmill opera
tion of the sewing machine is done away
with and the work Is performed by a lit-
tle electric motor about a foot high and
six or seven inches broad which gets its
power from the ordinary lighting cir-
cuit and changing this to mechanical
movement transmits it to the sewing
machine through a friction wheel bear
ing on the starting wheel of the machine.
The speed canbe very delicately regu
lated by means of a small lever and the
machine can be as quickly started or
stopped as by foot power. The operator
can assume an easy comfortable posi-
tion as the only duty required Is to steer
the cloth under the needle. Even aa In
valid can safely operate a machine thus
driven.
The electrically heated flatiron pof
sesses the advantage of maintaining an
even temperature which continues as
long as the device Is connected with the
electric circuit. The iron heats up in a
few minutes and Is very handy especial-
ly for occupants of flats and apartments
In laundering small articles. It is also
particularly useful for putting a crease
In a pair of trousers and smoothing out
the wrinkles in a coat and rest.
An electric "hot water" bag might bet
ter be termed "hot wire" bag for in
stead of being filled with hot water it
contains coils of fine flexible wire which
are heated on passing the current
through them. The bag heats up in five
minutes and as Is the case of the elec-
tric flatiron it possesses the advantages
of yielding a uniform degree of he&t as
long as it Is In use. This is certainly a
long step in advance of the hot water
bags now commonly used which have to
be refilled w ith hot water every 15 or 20
minutes and even then a uniform heat
5s not maintained.
Electric curling iron heaters are to be
found on the dressing tables of many
fashionable hotel bedrc-nws. They are
tmall and neat and they work automat-
ically. The slipping of the Iron Into the
Seating chamber turns the current on
and the withdrawing of the IronMurns
it off. They are popular because they
do away with black smears of soot that

NOTES ON NEEDLEWORK.
Pretty Trifles for Summer TJ That
May Be Fashioned
at Borne.
Take a square of brown denim or soft
tan canvas and sketch a graceful spray
of hops thereon and' outline in gold wash
silk. Line it with denim and finish with
brown and gold then fill the cushion
with dried hops.
A dainty gift for the girt who em-
broiders is the "floss book" along nar
row book bound in small-figured cre-
tonne and tied with bowsof ribbon. The
pages are of stiff cardboard covered
with plain linen with straps for holding
skeins of silk linen or mercerized cot
ton floss.
Wake at least one raffia pillow just to
see what comfortable rests they are for
piazza or summer cottage. Get several
colors (the reliable colors) and weave
the pillow in blocks of color Just as you
used to weave colored papers when you
were a kindergartner ana leave fringe
at the edges or turn the endsof the raffia
in making it plain. Stuff the pillow
with curled hair and you have a nice.
cool pillow and a pretty one.
For summer kimonos Japanese cot ten
crepe is an excellent fabric. It washes
like the traditional iron and no matter
how delicate the coloring may be there
is seldom a piece that fades with tub
bing. This material can be procured In
an infinite variety of tints and designs.
Stripes are effective and' a plain crepe
to match the colored stripe makes a
pretty border for the collar front and
loose sleeves. There is one distinctly
Japanese pattern that has taken remark-
ably well. It represents Japanese letters
of the alphabet stamped in white on the
dark blue China blue or any color that
one happen to fancy.
A pretty little work basket is made
of stiff cardboard cut out In four sections
each one about four Inches high and five
broad at the top slanting to a width of
three and a half Inches at the base. Rib
bons at the top and bottom of each sec-
tion fasten them together In form some
thing like a tall strawberry box. These
sections are covered with ecru crash and
on the outside of one Is attached a needle
pad covered with a flap of canvas. An-
other side of this little basket carries a
tomato pincushion made of silk. A third
g decorated with two little emeries in
the form of strawberries and the last
section has a pocket. In which to keep
buttons spool cott6n braid etc.
One of the newest finishing touches for
fancy work Is ribbon rose work. When
picture frame has been made and pas-
separtouted paste over the edges a strip
of pink ribbon and then make a lot of
rosettes of narrow ribbon in two shades
of pink filling the tiny centers with
knots of yellow and green. Sew these
rosettes to the frame alternating the
lighter with the darker pink rose then
tie many ribbon bows of the narrowest
width of green ribbon nd fasten a how
between each rose. The effect is that
of small green leaves between miniature
roses. An oval frame Is finished with a
pink bow at the top. Trtvs for the
ctresslna table are made in the same
manner by lining a shallow basket with
the color of silk or satin that trims the
table and covering the edges with tiny
rote of the same color.
DANCER IN SODA SIPHONS.
Warning for Housekeepers Who Make
Use of Them in Sum-
mer Time.
Do you know that the siphon bottle
ordinarily used for soda water and other
effervescent drinks is usually charged
with a pressure of from 120 to 160 pounds
to the square Inch? The danger likely
to result from an explosion of one of
these little household articles Is by no
means Inconsiderable and yet the aver-
age person handles a siphon as though it
were the most harmless thing in th
world says the Washington Times.
There are two or three things to re-
member in handling siphons. Kvr
keep your siphons near the range for
the unusual heat is more likely than any-
thing else to cause an explosion. Don't
subject the bottle to any sudden change
of temperature whatever. For instance
if you keep your siphon In the icebox
and that is the best and safest place for
them don't grasp the glass part of the
bottle with your warm hand for the sud-
den change of temperature s apt to cause
an explosion. The best way to carry a
siphon at all times Is by the metal top
at the head of the bottle. It is needless
to say the greatest care should be taken
not to drop a siphon for an explosion is
the inevitable result. When empty the
siphon Is of course qufte harmless.
That these bottles are considered a
great source of danger is evidenced by
the fact thatjthe courts Inevitably hold
the bottlers strictly reliable for all dam-
acs resulting from the explosion of one
of them if even the slightest defect in
the manufacture of the bottle can be
shown.
Fruit Beverage.
l.ttsb one quart of ripe berries with
half a pound of sugar. Peel the ye!!ow
rind of 12 lemons very thin squeeze the
Juice over the peel and allow it to stand
for 12 hours. Chop a ripe pineapple very
fine and mix with a half pound of sugar.
Let it stand several hours then strain
the lemon juice anr mash the raspber-
ries through a coase sieve then hs
pineapple. Mix together adding three
quarts of water. Stir until the sugar
is dissolved then strain and chill. Serve
In sherbet glasses with a slice of pfie-
pple lemon and a few raspberries.

Big Time Feasting on Picnic
Dainties and Oratory.
I'ryor Creek is going to get on the
map very decidedly on Thursday
Friday and Saturday. A committee
of energetic citizens have had the af
fair of a monster free picnic and re-
union in hand for some time and
elaborate preparations have been
completed to entertain thousands and
give them the "time" of their lives.
In addition to a program of sports
there will be an oratorical feast. Hon.
John 15. Turner the brilliant and
polished orator of the Artesian City
who holds a prominent place in the
front rank of public speakers of the
southwest will discuss general poli-
tics Thursday from the standpoint of
a Democrat. Judge Turner will share
the stage with Hon. C. E. Castle of
Wagoner who is also an eloquent
orator.
Friday ex-Judge John R. Thomas
will orate upon conditions as seen
through Republican spectacles. The
gentleman lias a national reputation
as a public speaker and if he fails to
rouse the people to a high pitch of
enthusiasm it will be evidence that
his audience is made up of rock-ribbed
Democrats.
Perfect order will be maintained
and the railroad company offers
special rates for the occasion.
BIT OF WEDDING CAKE.
There Was a Charm About It Which
the Young Han Proceeded
to Investigate.
But what shall I do with it?" he
asked helplessly. "There's a certain
inanity in treasuring another fellow's
wedding cake. Won't you take it aa a
gift?"
"Thanks no" she answered relates
Smith's Weekly. "The charm is broken
f you give it away."
Charm?" he echoed. "What charm
has an infinitesimal piece of cake?"
"De you mean to say" she Interrupted
solemnly "that you have never tried the
charm that lies in a bride's cake?"
"Never!" he averred.
"Then you must try it before you are a
night older" she said with a pretty air
of authority "Cut a card Into seven
slips and give me a pencil and I'll do the
rest."
"Now" she went on "1 shall write a
name on each of these six pieces and
leave one blank for bachelorhood you
know. Then you will place them under
your pillow with the wedding cake and
draw out one each morning; the last
one " with a pause of emphasis.
"I understand" he broke in. "The
last shall be first But I can't think of
six names; one is so indelibly written on
my heart that "
"Oh I can arrange that!" she Inter-
rupted blithely. "You know they must
be written by someone else anyway
a disinterested person."
"Oh!" humbly.
But as he watched her brows wrinkle
in such perplexity he concluded that It
was not such a bad think after all this
idea of tying up wedding cake in boxes
and he became convinced that weddings
on the whole were not such a bore whea
he saw the ubiquitous best man peer into
the half light of the verandah and retire
precipitately.
"There's one thing I forgot" she
added "each slip must be destroyed aa it
Is drawn out and only the last one read."
"Humph! Strict requirements these!
It would give a fellow some satisfaction
perhaps to know whom he had escaped."
"Oh but the charm won't work unless
you do! Promise now" she added im-
peratively. And he prornteed. Then
"Oh I say" he cried interrupting the
writing again. "You'll put your own
came down won't you?"
"Shall I?" she queried doubtfully.
On the eighth day thereafter she re
ceived the following telegram:
You name seventh. Has charm
worked?"
And it was not till their honeymoon
was at Its zenith that she told him con-
fidentially that each bit of cardboard
had borne the same name and (here bad
been n blank.
Economy.
"Economy." said Gov. Chatterlon. of
Wyoming "is always admirable A
Cheyenne hatter though was disgust
ed the other day with the economical
spirit of a visitor to his shop.
"This visitor a tall man with gray
hair entered with a soft felt hat
wrapped In a paper In his hand.
" 'How much will It cost' ha said
'to dye this hat gray to match my
hair?'
"'About a dollar" the hatter an-
swered. "The tall man wrapped the hat
again.
