Federal Government Will Take
a Hand In the Kansas Fight
Against the Trust
GARFIELD is ALREADY AT WORK
Conditions in Kansas and Contiguous
States vii! be Included in the In
curry Which Will be Pushed as Rap
idly as PossibIe-Garfield Will Go
to Kansas.

Washington, March 6.-The federal
government has taken hand in the
kansas fight against the oil trust. The
resolution of Representative Campbell,
in the house, has borne immediate
fruit, and the investigation of the COM
missioner of corporations will be as
rigid, as rapid, and as thorough as
possible. Contiguous states will be
included in the investigation, which
will not be circumscribed by state or
geographical lines.
The report of Commissioner Garfield
will be made to President Roosevelt.
Whether it will be public will depend
upon the latter. Depending on the
facts developed, it may be turned over
to the department of justice.
Commissioners Garfield said yester-
day that nothing would be left undone
by his bureau to develop the facts re-
garding the operations of the Oil trust
in Kansas, as well as in other states.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infaned
coalition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have ,rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inf1amed condition of the
mucous surface.
We will give one hundred dollars FOR
any case of deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

One Of sothern's Jokes.
dorchester Herald.

The elder Sothern once saw notice
in a country inn that convention OF
clergymen was to meet there the next
day.
Each clergyman, upon arrivai, re-
ceived a note, signed with The land
lords name, requesting him to say
grace at dinner, the signal to be bell
rung in the office. Sothern had noticed
that the landlord sounded a bell every
day as the guests seated themselves for
dinner. Everything went off to Soth-
ern,s complete satisfaction. The bell
rang, and up rose every Clergyman and
began saying grace, then stopped,
looking askance at each other. Some
began again, some sat down and got
UP again.
The scene for some minutes was
one of confused bobbing UP end down,
with mutterings. The landlord started
In establishment, and Sothern put on a
look Of polite anxiety and surprise. He
afterward expressed sympathy with
the landlord in his anger, but left the
inn that day.

A WiIfuI Genius.

Malibran, the singer, was an artist
who deserved her success, for her
greatest triumphs came from the hard
est work. Her voice was not a miracle
of nature. 1t was gold, says one o.. her
biographers, but it was gold that had to
be dug from the earth, smelted ana
made pliable under the hammer. one
day she was overheard at her practis-
ing, in gusts of angry apostrophe.
IN see whether I cannot make you
obey me-" she was saying to her voice.
I'll see whether you will obey me-"
For her the word impossible did
not exist If her voice was out of Or
der, or her throat refused to obey, she
accomplished an1azingf effects by sheer
force Of will Perhaps it was fortunate
that her career was not a long one NO
human powers could have endured the
strain she placed habitually upon this
gift of hers.
One day she executed shake upon
the highest notes Of her register. She
laughed then at the amaZement OF her
listeners
"Tfslt brute of note has given me
no end of trouble" she said. Il have
been trying to get it for the last
month. 1 tried it while dressing, and
while was doing my hair, tired it
when l. was taking my walks, ana
while was riding. At last go; hold
of it this morning, while was tying
my shoestrings."
"And where did you find it, ma
dame?'
"There!" she answered, laughing,
and putting her finger to her forehead.

Modern Industry in France.

Nothing is too insignificant for the
exploitation of modern industry. In
France they have just been making ex-
pertinent as to the possibility o.. util-
izing in some way the skins o. field
mice. Could this be proved 1t would
lend even greater activity to the rep
risals of agriculturists against these
small ravagers Of the crops. Accord
ingly MI Grosjean. an inspector Of ag;-
riculture, submitted some OF these
mouse skins to Paris furrie.. with
the inquiry if anything could be made
out OF them. The reply was in the
affirmative, as the skins, despit', their
smallness, If obtained in sufficient
numbers, could, by reason of their
delicacy and suppleness, be employed
to advantage in certain branches of the
trade. NJ. Grosjean thereupon set to
work to devise simple and economi-
cal trap. He recommends that bell
glass, such as those employed ty gar
deners, be sunk in the earth, with its
edges a few inches beneath the sur
face. In it is placed piece tf car
rot, or a few grains Of corn, as bait.
The mice, falling into the bell, are
unable to climb up the slippery sides
and can be comfortably collected on
the following day. So here We see a
new industry in the making.

It is the intention of the commissioner
to make the investigation as exhaus-
tive as the resolution of Representative
Campbell contemplates to develop all
the facts regarding the operation of
the oil trust.
During the last year" said Com
missioner Garfield, "a great amount of
information has been obtained. This
affords basis from which to under
take immediate specific inquiries into
the conditions existing in specific fields,
such as Kansas, Texas and Califor-
MIA"
Sound Sources of information.
"The method of procedure will be
similar to that followed in the case OF
the alleged beef trust. The commits
sioner Of corporations, personally and
thru special agents, will obtain tnfor-
nation from original sources. Already
these sources have been sounded. They
have responded by agreeing to furnish
information to afford the fullest oppor-
tunity for inspection Of records and ac-
counts. and to answer all questions
pertinent to all matters involved"
1t is pointed out that the Oil trust,
thru it's pipe lines is not common
carrier under the law, and it cannot be
compelled to carry oil from any given
field, unless the producers accede to its
terms. It maintains that it has con-
Quoted its business in accordance with
the law, and with regard ito business
principles, and is perfectly willing to
have the government make as rigid an
inquiry as it may desire.
- Na.E~1l NIiI1 Co KanSAR-
Commissioner aGrfeld will go to
Kansas to conduct the inquiry. Every
ramification will be followed.
AS soon as the Investigation is COM
pleted the findings will be transmit
ted to President Roosevelt. If, in his
Judgment, the facts warrant an inquiry
by the department of justice, the facts
will be turned over to Attorney Cen
eral Moody, with instructions to pro-
coed according to law.

Cowboys and Indians Attract Much

Cowboys and Indians Attract Much
Attention on Capital Street.
Washington, March 4-"Have you
seen the cowboys?' 1t is the question
of half the tongues of Washington.
Have you seen the Indians 1t
is the question on the lips Of the other
half.
Tine cowboys and the Indians came
yesterday morning. Long before even
ing it seemed that every man, woman
and child in the capital knew OF their
arrival. They paraded the streets in
the afternoon.
AS the cowboys swung into Pennsyl-
wanna avenue afternoon traffic came
to standstill. AS they swung into
a side street ant. were lost to view
traffic was renewed.
AS the Indians came down the ave-
nue., single file, CT course, business
suspended. AS they filed into a. side
street it was renewed.
And these people of the far west
We're equal to the occasion. The COW
boys came early and ut /? O'clock they
We're sitting in front of the National
hotel. A gaping, adnlrlns crowd was
about them. The cowboys don't object.
They rol,ed cigarets With one hand
and taxed of the days that were.
"Kemember when the president was
out our way?" querier Muck Quest.

sombrar1.

Remember that shot he made? Man
tossed dime In the air and the presi-
dent cracked it at fifty feet. Didn't
bend the dime either, cut it straight as
WHISTLE"
The crowd CAPPED and the Indians
grunted.
"Nuthin' to shot he made out our
way. Out huntin' when panther
sprung at the neck of the lhoss. The
president raised his gun, fired and
brought, down the panther and SO cool
and careful he didn't ruin his hide
either"
The crowd gaped some more. But
the Indians could stand 1t no longer.
Altho trained to express no surprise
thew broke into something that re-
sembled laugh. And the people real
lied the cowboys were having sport
with them and departed.
1t was in the walk down the avenue
that the Indians were at their best,
however The women admired their
blankets.
"What'M you take for this?" was a
frequent query as some enthusiastic
woman caught at the blanket of q
brave. If the Indians had been open
to inducement they wouldn't have ap-

suggested $4,000, while Mr.. Hermann's
counsel named $780, the latter figure
being set by the court.
Shortly afterward Mr.. Hermann ap-
peared at the office of the clerk of

bail in the amount fixed.
AS he was leaving the city hall Mr..
