girl is given an opportunity to dis
play her patriotism. There is a cap

worn by the young man, given him
by the girl who befriended an In

QUEER VOICES OF NATURE.
Sands of the Sea and the Desert Are
Musical at Strange Times.

-NuSlCdI
New York.-The most notable of
those curious freaks of nature, "sing-
ing sands" are those of the Island of
Kauai. When a small quantity of
these is clapped between the hands
it is said to give forth a sound so
shrill as to resemble a hoot Put
into a bag and violently shaken, these
sands emit a noise strangely like the
bark of a dog.
On the beach at Manchester, Mass +,
are the so-called Singing sands" says
Harper's Weekly, "but these are out
done by the Hawaiian sands men
toned. Similar sands also occur in
the Colorado desert, where also are
to be found those furious shifting
sands that continually travel hither
and thither over the vast plain of
clay. Their movements are, of course,
induced by the winds and when a
strong breeze is blowing, the silicious
particles of which they are composed
give out an audible humming or sing
ing. Under the microscope these
sands show an almost perfectly spher-
ical form. so that they roll upon each
other at the slightest impulse, a cir
cumstance that also accounts for the
rapidity with which the sands travel
| over the desert.
one theory advanced with respect
to the singing" of these sands is that
it is due to an exceedingly thin film
of gas that covers the grains. Gath
| cred and removed from the desert il
| is said these sands lose their vocal
propensities.

tn finest comic opera company AM
erica has ever known. A short re-
view of the reasons for both of these
facts may be given as follows:
The Love Tales of Hoffman" is
entirely different from any opera in
the realms of music. Not only is its
melodies of the most delightful and
tuneful character but its entire con-
ception is unique and interesting.
The opera opens with short pro-
logue, showing a wine cellar in Mu
mich. Hoffman, a dissipated young
German poet is induced to tell for the
amusement of his fellow jewellers,
the story of his three love affairs. The
following three acts show the enact
ment of his stories, each act depict
! ing one of his love affairs. In the
iirst act he falls in love with Win
derful mechanical doll which he be-
| leves to be alive. The roll of this doll
! is played by Miss Gladys Caldwell,
prima donna of the Sheehan Opera
| company and so remarkable is her
performance that although Hoffman,
| believes her to be alive the audience
in spite of the fact that she sings,
! talks and dances, is at times in doubt
as to whether she is really alive or
a piece of mechanism. The next act
shows moonlight night in Venice,
This act is said to be one of the most
beautiful ever seen on the operate
stage. 1t is this scene that Mr..
Sheehan as Hoffman, fights fatal
duel on account of one Julietta, the
second lady with whom he has fallen
ia, Ii l. ,.iy R
the fair Juietta deserts him for an
other admirer. In the last act is
shown the home of Crcspel a poor
musician, with whose daughter Huff-
imam has fallen in love. 1t is dur
ing this scene that Charles Swick-
ard, the famous baritone, is heard il
the roll of Doctor Miriele, the great
part which Renaud played in the New
York Manhattan opera house. Fol

MANUFACTURING IN OKLAHOMA

Although in its swadding clothes as
a manufacturing states, Oklahoma has
grown rapidly in this respect in its
short history and its development will
be more rapid hereafter.
In 1904 the total amount of capital
invested in manufacturing in this
state was S16,124,O00, while today ii
is s3S,S73, 900. The manufactured prod
ucts in 1904 represented value OF
S24 .459 900, while last year the value
was in excess of $60.000000.
At the present time the industrial
growth of the state is marked and
with its marvellous resources and fine
facilities, it may be safely predicted
that in the next decade Oklahoma will
rank well with other states west o
the Mississippi in the volume an'
value of its manufactures. = Okla

HEARING
LUMBER TRUST
Alleged That Rulings Have Closed
Door of Wholesalers And Manu-
facturers to Consumer.

Chicago, H., June GA United
States investigation of conditions in
the lumber industry looking towards
til prosecution of the so-called "lum-
ber trust" began yesterday before a
special grand jury in the United
States district court. Three Chica-
goans, Henry A. Sellen, vice president
of sash and door company; Harry
.B. Munger, president of a door COM
pany, and George J. Pope, vice presi-
dent of lumber concern, were the
first to testify. Coincident with the
opening of the inquiry, Oliver E. Pa
gan, government indictment expert,
reached here and began a study of the
evidence said to have been gathered
by special agents. The case is based
on the theory that the lumber dealers
associations and companies form a con
spiracy in restraint of trade. The in
quiry will affect only organizations OF
the middle west, south and west.
Among the points alleged by govern
ment representative and into which
the grand jury will seek are:
That the associations have forced
consumers to buy lumber products
from recognized" retail merchants.
That wholesalers and manufacturers
who have sold sonsumers have beer
blacklisted and that consumers buyinl
from manufacturers have met th'
same fate,
| That the purpose of the lumber OF
ganizations has been to create lists Q
persons violating rules of the trad
, and to maintain restrictive rules gov
erning the conduct of business.
The effect Of these rules, the govern
ment says, has been TO close the doc
of the wholesale dealers and manufat
, lturer to the consumer in all parts c
| the country.
| More than sixty witnesses have bee
f subpoenaed, it is said, among them b.
! ing Cornelius Crowley, Minneapoli

Senator Lorimer is once again to be
investigated by the United States SEN
ate. and stands in more danger than
ever of being expelled in disgrace
from the seat to which such gross scan
dal has attached ever since he was
chosen under suspicious circumstances
to occupy it. Since the accumulation
of new and convincing testimony under
the investigation at Springfield, Hi
nois. even the closest friends of Sen
ator Lorimer have recognized that the
senate at Washington could not refuse
to 60 into the question again, and the
vote for new investigation was there
fore unanimous. The only conflict
among the senators, when the subject
thus came up anew, was over the per-
sonnel of the Investigators. Senator
LaFollette insisted that the senate's
own committee on privileges and cleo
tions was disqualified from dealing
again with the matter by its former
report generating the senator. He
therefore proposed that the new in
uuiry should be wholly by men who
took their seats on the 4th of last
March, and who therefore did not vote
on the case when it was up before.
This avowed reflection on the integrity
of senate committee touched, how
ever, little too deeply the traditions
of senatorial courtesy, and on thai
account the older members stood to-
| gether, and by a vote of 4S to 20, re
ferred the inquiry again to the same
committee which handled it before
But it was understood quietly that the
committee on privileges and elections
would be, in appointing it's subcom
mittee to take testimony, far more
careful than before to make up cour
whose fairness could not be complain
ed of, even by those who have heel
most vehenmently opposed to tn
smirched member from Illinois. AM
it is promised in this same indirec
way that this time Senator Lorme
will be compelled to give testimony i
his own case.

Vinita and northern Oklahoma again
sweltered today under the terrific heat
wave that has held the whole south
west in its grip for the last several
days. The temperature here this after
noon was around the 100 mark, and
but for the breeze that has kept the
atmosphere moving, Vinitans would
have suffered.
There is a slight indication of rain,
but only the most sanguine are still
hoping for rain The best the weather
man promises is cooler tonight.
Unless rain comes within the next
few days, it will be useless as crops
are now threatened. The wheat crop
is greatly reduced and the oat crop
will produce only one-fourth the nor
NAL yield. Corn alone stands unhurt,
but a few more days of these hot
winds will ruin that prospect also.
