"Charm?" he echoed. What charm

solemnly, that you have never tried the

But as he watched her brows wrinkle

In addition to program Of sports
there will be an oratorical feast Hon.
John B. Turner, the brilliant and
polished orator of the Artesian City,
who holds prominent place in the
front rank of public speakers Of the
southwest, will discuss general poll
tics Thursday from the standpoint Of
Democrat. Judge Turner will share
the stage with Hon. G. E. Castle, Of

orator.
Friday ex-Judge John r. Thomas

through Republican spectacles. The
gentleman has national reputation
as public speaker and if he fails to

TO PROBE The
LAND OFFICE
Investigation Of TishOmingO
Scandal Ordered.

A special news dispatch from Wash
ineton to the Kansas City Journal
published this morning, says:
.sInvestigate the Tishomingo lanc
ofiice from ferret to foundation stone,
was the order issued to the Dawes
commission by Acting Secretary Ryan,
Of the Interior department, yesterday
That the secretary does not intend
70 have any Of the guilty escape is evl-
denced by a talk recently in which ne
said that the resignation Of one Of the
implicated clerks had already been
offered, but had been refused, and that
ali parties implicated in the Tisho-
mingo scandal would be held TO
answer to the United States court. 1t
is also Judge Ryan's intention to 80
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:
ssThe department has already re-
ceived 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 commits
sion shows that the chief clerk of the
Tishomingo Office brought about the
investigation by having his suspicious
aroused by Irregularities on the part
or some of his clerical force.
This state of affairs was at once
reported to headquarters at Muskogee,
and within few hours a thorough in
yestigation had been ordered. So far,
one clerk has been deeply implicated,
while others have been placed in
very compromising light. =

DANGER 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
sfferveseent drinks is usually charged
with a pressure of from 120 to 100 pounds
TO the square inch? The danger likely
TO result from an explosion of one Of
these little household articles is by no
means inconsiderabIe, and yet the aver
age person handles siphon as though it
we're the most harmless thing in the
world, says the Washington Times
There are two or three things to re-
member in handling siphons NeysF
keep your siphons near the range, for
the unusual heat is more likely than auy-
thing else to cause an explosion. Don't
subject the bottle to any sudden change
OF temperature whatever For instance,
II 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 is apt to cause
an explosion. The best way to carry
siphon at all times is by the metal top
at the head Of the bottle. 1t is needless
to say the greatest care should be taken
not to drop a slphon. for an explosion is
the inevitable result. When empty. the
siphon is, Of course, quite harmless.
That these bottles are considered a
great source Of danger is evidenced by
the fact thatahe courts inevitably hold
the bottlers strictly reliable for all dam.
ages resulting from the explosion Of one
of them if even the slightest defect in
the manufacture Of the bottle can be
shown.

for the position of district elector
which he could have for the asking in

And some of the politicians have
suggested that Trewin and Healy

orator too. These men led the state
senate for years and the body was bril-
liant all Of The time that they were

it.
1t is possible that joint debates will

custom. The tour of Cummins and
Wilmer is traditional. Politicians hope
to see that sort of campaign this
