OKLAHOMA HARVEST is on

DAYS

Guthrie. Okla. June s-Within a few
days the Oklahoma wheat and oats
harvest will commence in earnest. Sec
retary Of Agriculture Thoburn says in
his opinion the crop has been little
damaged by the recent storms sweeping
over the territory. He states that there
are a few isolated cases where high
water and hail did bad work, but these
are rare. From Taylor. Tex, not far
from the southern boundary of Co
manche county, it is reported that the
yield of oats is running from between
IS and 100 bushels an acre
Reports have been circulated that
there might be a scarcity of binding
twine in this territory. A few farmers
have formed associations for securing
twine and already have shipped it in by
carloads Secretary Thoburn is unable
to predict just what the situation Will
be until the demand is actually made

cusAN TRgATY SIGNED.
BY Secretary of state ZaIdo ana Min
lister Squiers.

AEACF SVuASENs
HAVANA, May 23.-The permanent
treaty was signed at the office of the
secretary of state instead of at the
palace, as was the case with former
treaties The signers were Secretary
of State Zaldo and United States Min
lister Squiers, who were constituted
special plenipotentiaries for that pur-
pose by their respective governments
The proceeding was devoid of all for
malities, and even frock coats, usual
on such an occasion, were not worn.
Senor Zaldo and Mr. Squiers simply
met, accompanied by their secretaries,
and the signing was accomplished and
copies of the treaty exchanged within
q few minutes.
The permanent treaty Incorporates
the entire Platt amendment into the
form of a treaty. The length of time
consumed by the negotiations was
principally due to the fact that the
Cuban government desired to include
in the treaty various extraneous con-
ditions especially one to the effect that
there should be no intervention in Gu
ban affairs by the United States ex-
cept through the initiative of the pres
ident of Cuba: All these conditions
were rejected.

LINCOLN, Neb., May %. - Storms
and high water have caused four ia
talities and much damage in Nebras-
ka. At Sterling an attempt to cross
the Nemaha river on a weakened
bridge caused the drowning of three
persons. The high water had washed
away the approaches, and the wagon
was caught by the current. At Lew
iston during an electrical storm John
Bowen, a Rock Island employee, was
struck dead by lightning while stand
ing in doorway. Two inches of rain
fall within an hour flooded the busi-
ness district of Plattsmouth, and a
wall of water four feet high swept
through the Burlington shops, stopping
work and causing damage to the ex-
tent of several thousand dollars.

Who would suppose that lion was
any more difficult an animal part Ito
play than that of any other quadru-
ped? And yet Arthur Hill, who so
capitally ,lmpersonates the lion in the
''Wizard of Or" at the Majestic
Theatre, New York, tells q tale of
endeavor that is most surprising as
well as entertaining. In the first
place. although monkeys and dogs are
frequently played by pantomimists,
but rarely orgever Ihas the role Eof the
lion been essayed. In order to famil-
iarize himself with the ways of the
lion he went to the Zoo in Chicago
and studied how they leap, walk,
spring. lie down, and stretch them
selves. Visitors to 1.-THE Wizard of
Oz' should, observe carefully this ad-
mirably represented role.
