C. CtmiH DOOM Not IlnticNtly nntl Vigilantly Ivnforoe the Oil Ixixv. Tlio oil Inspactura of Nebraska during the past two \vccls liavo displayed itioru activity Itinn has liuon known to charactorl/.o ttictn lnco tticlr Induction Into ofllco. This Is par ticularly true of the clilof Inspector , kJ. C. Cams of Howard. Until the period men tioned the Inspection of oils had caused him butllttlo tioublc. The articles in Tin : Hii : : , however , brought to his attention the fact that , the method of Inspection pursued by bis dcputiM was n farce and an Imposi tion upon tbo people. This disclosure Impelled him to inako some pretense to remedying the abuse and to do something to show that ho was worthy of his salary of J2.COO a year. Mo responded Immediately to the call of tbo Consolidated Tank line and Jumped to Omaha. Hero ho conferred with tbo repro- Hcntutlvcs of that monopoly and endeavored to determine what , it was which bad Induced Tin : Uii : : to light the system of oil inspec tion. CarclcHH , If Not Criminal. Tbo conference advanced every reason ex cept tbo true one , namely , that this paper desired to sbow how the people were de ceived in tbo standard o" the oil they pur chased ami how the deception was rendered possible by ttio careless , If not criminal , manner In which luo oil was inspected by the state officials. Tbo chief Inspector then wont to Fremont nnd had a talk with John Mnthows , the con- bolldatcu oil warehouse man there , in that place , It will bo remembered , Tin : Hiu : rep resentative discovered most plarlntr viola tions of tbo inspection law. TunHs of oil , containing llftv and lifty-two gallons ouch , were shipped to various sections of the slate without bearing any mark of approval on tno part of the oil inspector. This was clearly a violation of tbo law , as It was also a decep tion of tbo people. It would be supposed that tbo visit of the chief inspector woulu have bad a beneficial effect upon the oil warehouse man. And so It did but for a very short time only. That gentleman actually either branded tanks himself or caused them to bo branded by tbo deputy inspector or some other person. One of these oranded tanks , from Safarik ttio druggist In Sehuylor , was found by Tin : HII : : man when the tank was returning from the warehouse. It bore date of November . " > , 18'Jl ' a few days Inter tljan the exposure made In Tin : Bin : . liiiw SHU JtoliiK Violated. At the time of tbo dlscovorv of the viola tion ot the law some of the people In Dodge county expressed a desire to nave the ware house man anil the inspector arrested and punished. They \\ero dissuaded from their purpose , however , by the belief that future violations would .tot tutto place. The Im pression , howovcr , has not been realized. The law is still being violated and tbo deception practiced in its violation is both systematic and willful. On Thursday last. Mr. Ilyers , tbo well known and popular clerk of Lewis , lirown , procera at Fontanollc , arrived iii Fremont for a bill of goods. Ho bad driven In and de posited Ills oil tank at the oil warehouse and on it loft a note stating Unit bo wanted nnothor tank of oil and would call for It in the afternoon. In the meantime Mr. Ilyers met Till : HI.I : man. Ho said that one of his employers , Mr. Lewis , had read the oil ar ticles in this paper nnd vcrilled the assertion that the tank from which ho was selling Iccioscno bore no brand of Inspection or ap proval. Lewis , ho said , did not know what to do. It seemed to him that the responsi bility depended upon himself , but , bo said , lie did not know bow to Inspect the oil. For that reason the kerosene was sold Just as It \vas asked for. This Impression of Mr. Lewis' , however , was a mistake. The tank should have been branded by the inspector before it was sold by the warehouse mon , and should not have been accepted without that br.ind by tbo grocer. When the latter saw tlmt tbo barrel bad not been approved ho should tmv-o noti- ilcd nn inspector of the fact and the latior would have inspected the oil at no expense to Mcssis. Lewis & Urown. Culdwcll and Hoover's HIM ml. The warebouso man , hovever , did not wish to put Lewis it Urown to that trouble , but bo did not hesitate to practice a deception upon them , which ought to bo punished under tbo law. Ho deliberately pawned off upcn them n tank of oil which bore the ap proval of S. A. Culdwcll , state inspector , b'y Colonel Hoover , bis deputy. Culdwell bus not been In tbo oil inspection business since the early part of the year. His services were dispensed with by Gover nor Hoyd when Mr. Louis Ileitnrod o'f Omaha nnd his deputies took possession of the ofllco. After tbo retirement of the latter , K. C. Cams nnd bis deputies followed nnd are still In tbo business. If , therefore , the Caldwell- Hoover brand was applied by the latter of these gentlemen , the application of the brand must have been effected at least nine months ngo , nnd it might have been done shortly lifter Colonel Hoover became a deputy , wnlch was n long time prior to the date of Cnld- well's retirement. If the latter bo the case , Caldwell nnd Hoover were both negligent in allowing the taint to remain branded "approved" after it bad once been emptied , especially when It wna again presented to them to bo inspected. The probability is that neither of those in- specter * saw the tank nfter it had been first inspected , and It is not at all unlikely that they may never have seen It at all , and that tbe'Urand in question was applied by some warehouse man in whoso custody was loft , iirobably , an approval stencil which should uo found only In ttio possession of the state inspectors. The ItoKiiH Hrnnd Di-ucivos. Ho that ru It may. it Is certain the bogus brnnd.has been usiul toUeeoivo people for tbo last ulno months. The tanit was filled as often as it came to the warehouse and wont out to customers with the alleged approval of Inspectors who had no more to do with oil Inspection than bos tbo king of tbo Cannibal islands. The brand served its purpose , however. It imtlsllcd some credulous consumer that the oil was all right and that wus all tlmt tbo warehouse man wanted. Ilesidos aiding tbo Tank line In deceiving its patrons , the pres ence of the brand showed that It liad been tbo practice of Caldwell nnd Hoover to brand those tanks , u duty which their successors , K , C. and Joseph Cams , until lately , uogll- fcntly and criminally failed to perform. The tank in question was numbered iron. The Cnldwoll-Hoovor brand was examined nnil identified by scvcr.il people who nve ready to testify to Its existence. How ninny inoro tanks there nro with these fraudulent brands only n tboroimh Inquiry will reveal. MathewH , the warehouseman at Fremont know that ho was violating the law when ho allowed this tame to leave his house. The penalty for this violation U a tine of not less than flOO , nor more than WOO , or Imprison ment for six months , or both , In the county Jail.Tho The linn of Lewis & Drown , at Fontanollo , is Known to bo perfectly reliable and honest. Mr , Hycw informed TIIS Urn man that thov had always souKbt to get tbo best oil anil that was ttio only fact they could roiv on In tbo event of trouble , because ol tbo worth less system of Inspection to which the oil ww subjected. There Is no excuse , however , for them to submit to the lmpo Uton which the tank line ha * practiced upon them nnd no long as they sell ell out of the tank referred to they are liable to a line of f , X > .

At that tlmo It must have been Inspected by McDonald at tbo Consoli dated warehouse , because Deputy Curtis has no Jurisdiction there. Hut McDonald's name could not oo fohnd. The Omaha Inspector's brand had evidently been painted over with the exception ot tbo top lino. The name of the cnlof oil inspector was on Ittcd. That of bis deputy , Joe Cams , was stenciled below in an Irregular and blurred manner. Now , why was the Omnha Inspec tion brand removed ! Was it to "raise" the standard of the oil ) What beoamo of the oil which was In the barrel when It was in spected In this city I If other oil was not substituted what right had Deputy Cams to erase another inspector's brand ana sub stitute bis ownl Tboro is some reason to doubt , however , ttiat this erasure was done by Air. C.irns , nnd for this reason : The figures ' * " ' and " 189" wore Intended to represent December - ' , IH'Jl , but tbo month and tbo last numeral of the year were omitted In the bungling work. If this J)0 the case , the brand could not bavo been applied by Mr. Cams , but by some other person who , by some means or other , had cnmo Into the possession of bin stencil ; because tbatollloial was not In Fre mont on the second of this month.

"If there is anything that over did n stockman's heart good it was to read in Tin : Moit.viNo UKB the news that a cattle thief bad been shot. " ThospcaKcr was John Durbln , the oldcsu cattle raiser In Wyoming. Ho was at the stock exchange and was discussing the mat ter of cattle thieves. "Few people realize Uio extent of the dep redations by these fellows , " ho continued. "Tney nro so numerous , powerful and dar ing that they nro driving tbo stock ralsori nwny and ruining the territory. Nothing can bo done with them. I have been a stock raiser In Wyoming for twenty-three yoarj nnd have helped niako the territory. I have had $ r)0,000 invested in cattle nt ono tlmo in tno territory and have represented over $1,000,030. Hut I have suffered fearful losses from tbeso cattle thieves or rustlers us they are called. Their depredations became so great that the cut'.lo business has ceased to bo remunerative. These thieves now outnumber the stock raisers. I have actually boon driven out of the territory by these rascals and bavo nur- holed all my caltlo without waiting to get them in good condition. I have been com pelled to close my business there and leave. " Mr. Durbin then mentioned the names of several other extensive cattle raisers who have also been driven out by tbo tblcves. Ho then continued : "Why , those scoundrels would not only steal our staar * , but would oven shoot our cows nnd run oil' tbo calves and put their brand on them. What do you think of that for rascality * Not satisfied with plundering us they mercilessly destroyed our sources of increase. My los os in that line were very heavy. TalK about the brigands ol Italy ! They are gentlemen compared with thee thieves. Tbo cattle rustlers are so numerous that U is now impossible to do anything with them. They are mainly Tcxans nnd are nearly all of them either munleroiy or des peradoes who have committed some crime and have Hod to that territory. A half do/ien or oven a score of stockmen are powerless when pitted airainst this lawless horde. Nothing short of a civil war In tbo state can nd it of these rascals. Thov nro now all. powerful and they know it. The Btato is th nly populated and is well lilted for a nefarious business like the ono they are cair.ving on. They hold tbo laws in open de- llancc and plunder the lnw abiding stockmen witii impunity. Do you suppose that capital will stay lo-ig where such a state of nlTalrs exists ! 1C YOU do. lust innko InciuIriGs aa to what leading stockmen are closing up their business and leaving the territory and ask tbo reason why. "I have made lots of money in the cattle business in Wyoming , but have lost lots throucb the thlovos. 1 would not think of leaving thoslato or quitting tbo business bad it dot boon for the e fellows. I am not n man to think of l"avlng u profitable business unless I bavo good reasons for it. That is why I am hero today. I am tbinkingsomcof going into the horsa nitrket busmen bore with Mr. Fredericks , as I believe that in the course of time Omaha will be as noted for its horse maruet as It is now for its cattle market , . This is the bo-.t opening I can see anywhere in the country just now tor an investment of capital. Uut I would much prefer to remain in the uattlo business in Wyoming were it possible to do so without fear of the cattle thieves. "You surely , therefore , cannot wonder that I shed no tears when I bear of a reoutod cattle thief being found with a bullot-bolo in nK back. Sometime I will tell you in detail some of my experiences with tbo thieves. " Why New MCAIUO O.7-SJo Come Mtsrc. , Mr. Thomas P. James and Mr. Charles Springer of Folsom , N. M. , brought in twelve carloads of cattle and sold them at prices which delighted them. Mr , James said : "We brought in 2US bead of rattle , the bulk of them belonging to mo. I had no idea that the shipment would avor.igo 'up as it did. Wo bad n number of cows and bulls , which of course are much interior to steers , and wo expected that the avcr.iiro price would be very low. If our steers had brought ? lj ( per bead on an average wo would have been satisfied , but you can Imagine how delighted wo were when wo received f''li ' a head. Wnv , even our cows , which of course are much inferior to steer- ' , averaged * lli a bead , tbo price wo had hoped only for our tcors. Mr W. 1C. Sklnnnr , the representative of the stock yards , who was in Now Mexico this summer'assured us that Omaha would give us the best prices under all considerations , and wo bavo found this true. This is the reason that the nairo of Folsom , N. M. , lias appeared so often in the news reports of the Omaha markets lately. " Mr. Habcock and Mr. Skinner botli express themselves as feeling rewarded by such talk lor the efforts put lorth this summer for the Omaha market.

( You'd be tempted to swear at the mud , too , perhaps. ) Take it again on Harney west of 28th. Where was wont to be the trysting place of numberless bullfrogs in a pond 'way down in a deep hollow , and where one old fellow used to sing "go round , go round , go round , " every evening after seven , you'll find it all filled in and a nice , wide street extending 'way west. The frogs have simply moved , you can't kill the "croakers" in Omaha yet. Go in any direction and you'll see marked improvements but when you're out walking you'll need an Overcoat to keep you comfortable. Our tremendous sales of these garments 'for the past few weeks have greatly reduced our stock , several lines being practically wiped out. Partic ularly is this true in medium priced goods. It's too late to replace them ; we do better for you , we mark down several lines of finer grades to the prices you want to pay. In fact , the story this week is Deep Cuts A.T An immense big line of extremely fine Kersey Overcoats in black , brown , tan , bronze , slate , stone , drab and steel , with set velvet collars or self collars , with J10.50An cassimcre linings , full satin sleeve linings and canton flannel pockets. J10.50 These garments are regular fifteen dollar ones , but we've made a quick . price on them , ten-fifty. . The garments that we have today reduced to twelve dollars are without - out doubt the best garments we have ever sold at this price. They arc made of an extremely fine heavy Kersey , They arc lined with fine cassimerc , have fine heavy satin sleeve linings , self collars and canton flannel pockets. The value of these garments you'll appreciate better when we tell you that not a garment was ever sold for less than sixteen-fifty until this week. We are offering several hundred regular eighteen dollar Overcoats. Thcso garments arc made of very fine Kersey. They are lined with either the finest kind of Farmer satin or piaid cassimere ; have set velvet collar , heavy full satin sleeve lining , and are gotten up with all the attention to details that you get at your tailors. These garments come only in black , blue black and blue. TME KDVRJMTRGE OF OUR DEEP GUTS. Have you sent us your boy's picture yet ?
