STANDARD OIL TO Be PR0BED.

President Roosevelt has ordered
an investigation of the STANDARD
Oil company. The work will be
under the direction of Commits
sioner Garfield of the Bureau of
Corporations. The Investigations
will particularly deal with the oil
situation in Kansas, where some of
the best producing wells have had
to be plugged because the STANDARD
refused to transport the crude oil
through it's pipe lines. The specific
charges made and which will be
investigated are, the Standard Oil
company owns about 10000 miles
of pipe line and in fact is engaged
in interstate commerce but has
never been placed under the Inter-
State commission. That, in con-
nection with these pipe lines, il con-
trolls the railroads carrying crude
oil, and has by means of these pow
ers fixed the amount Of crude oil
to be received by the Independent
refners. That it has absolutely
refused to accept for transportation
through its pipe lines, the prod
ucts of the Kansas oil fields. And.
finally by these means it is enabled
to fix the limit of supply that the
price of the refined product is I'M
reasonably high.
The government experts who had
charge of the Investigation of the
beef trust have been detailed for
the investigation of the Standard
Oil concern. The president di-
rected the investigation to be made
and that as much time
be taken as this thorough investi-
might r~equire.-Devils Lake

WASHINGTON May 20.-The Ger.
man people; according 10 a report
from Consul General Guenther, at
Frankfort Germany. are much inter.
ested over a discovery OF e~lectro.plat.
Ing laces. especially as this new In.
dustry has been established In France,
and chemists, not only In that coun.
try, but In Belgium and In Germany,
are successfully producing metallzed
laces, The old galyano plastic art is
employed. One Of the first uses OF
the salvano current Is to coat certain
articles with a metallic substance. and
gliding silver and nickel plating,
bronalng etc. are being done in most
artistic effect. Experiments we're tried
to make nonconductive articles sus,
ceptible to the salyano plastic pro.
cess. In this manner many articles
were metalized. In Belgium the chem.
lists devoted attention especially to
metalszing embroiderIes, but until
recently they could not be- made OF
practical value. Now by an Invention,
the details Of which are kept secret,
the results have been obtained which
have created q sensation among deal.
ers aud artists in Paris, Laces are
mainly treated, In a few minutes
they are made conductors OF electric
currents and placed in 4 galyanic
bath. In a short time they become
coated with an exceedingly delicate
metal surface, the colors Of which and
other properties can be regulated at
liberty. The coating Is so fine that
not the slightest irregularity can be
noticed, and the lacesS remain per.
fectly soft and flexible. 1t makes no
difference whether gold, silver, cop.
per, bronze or other metals are EN-;
ployed.
The assertion Is made that the met.
aired points, In spite of the 3thinness
OF the metal coating, can be united as
If soldered together. All sorts OF
combinations are possible, and these
goods car be used for table orna.
ments, decorating furniture cover.
ing, walnscoting in parlors and for
ln%crustation Of the goods. The metal.
lied laces can easily be polished, and
the Partisan and German milliners
and dressmalers are wildly excited
over the possibilities Of! such gold and
silver laces when used as trimmings
