Inclusive. February S , 1S1I2 , I again began the per formance of my duties , and 1 am happy to hay that from that tlmo until December : ! ! , ISM , Inclusive. I have In nowise been Inter fered witli and no complaints have been made whatsoever regarding the administra tion of my ofllco. Aptireeiating fully the re.iponsiblllt.v of my position and the frightful damage and loss of life that might perhaps follow the use of In ferior mid low grades of illuminating oils , 1 have spared neither time nor expense in en forcing the laws relating to them , and have particularly instructed my deputies to be careful in all their tests , and in no instance to permit any oil to be put upon the market that did not eomo up fully to the standard adopted by the state ; the rr- BUlt has been all that I could wish for , there being but few instances reported of llrcs originating from the o.\plr > - Bion of coal oil lamps and in those few in stances the explosions were caused by care lessness and by the inferiority of the oil. I had hoped to bo able to give a full report of nil tires originating from the ignition of il luminating oils , and with that In view had addressed a letter to the chiefs of tire de partments in all towns of a population of < J , ! > 00 or more , requesting them to send mo a full report on this subject to incorporate in my report to you , but not having received these reports as expected I am obliged to forego this feature. l"c\v IiisuiMccH of I'ljiKrant Violation. I have but few instances to report wherein the law relating to illuminating oils has been violated , or where oil has been found that did not come up to the standard of the stale , with the exception of gasoline , which is not used for Illuminating purposes , except mechanically , and is always below the test required of illuminating oil , and , therefore , always rejected. The following is an ac count In detail of those instances : * In Juno I ascertained that J. H. Young of Lodge Polo was selling oil shipncd to him from Cheyenne , Wyo. , that was not in- Hpcctcd. Together with my deputy , C. E. Forbes , I immediately started for Lodge Polo and found three barrels of oil in his possession that had been partly disposed of without , being Inspected. Upon inspecting the oil I found It to be 7U3 Hash test and at once rejected it and ordered it shipped out of the state. I tiled u complaint with the county attorney , and Mr. Young was lined $100 and costs. I.also found at Potter a barrel of oil in the possession of J. Henry that had not been in spected , and which 1 was obliged to con demn , it being but 82 = Hash test. It also was ordered out of the state , but as none of it had been used or sold , no action was brought against Mr. Henry. Juno IK ) John S. Kittle , ono of my deputies , found a barrel of oil partly used and not iin- tspcctcd in the possession of Powell & Vlclc- crs , Pawnee City. Upon inspection it tested 11-1 ° , fourteen moro than required by iaw ; it had been used exclusively by themselves nnd none of it had been sold to others ; the ease was laid before the county attorney , who recommended that they bo not prose cuted , as no evidence could bo obtained but their own , which could not bo used to in criminate themselves , so no prosecution was made. July t Mr. Kittle found a barrel of oil in the possession of C ! . B. Schaefer , Arago , not inspected and partly retailed to the trade ; upon inspection it tested 1M0 ; the case was laid before the countv attorney , who secured n nominal line against Mr. bchaofer , with costs. In the latter part ot July Mr. Forbes found four barrels of oil at Kimball , in the posses sion of S. Woodbridge , none of which had been used or sold ; uKn inspection it tested 05 ° , 80 ° , 78 ° and 7H < = respectively , and was rejected and ordered shipped out of the state , In all these Instances there was no inten tion of disobeying the law. and its require ments had not been complied with through ignorance of Its features' . I ilnd generally that It is the desire of nil dealers to comply strictly with the inspection laws and at no time have I had to cnl'orco any of thu penal- tics twice UIKIII the same portion. From \Vliciico Troulilu Spring * . The localities to which uninspected oil is most likely to be shipped are the towns and villages near the border lines of South Dakota , Wyoming , Colorado and Kansas , as in most instances railroad connec tions are hotter and freight rates lower from some town or city in these bordering states than from Iho nearest shipping Doint in Nebraska , thus for reason of economy , , and earlier receipt of goods from data of shipment , merchants in the towns bordering the states mentioned , arc induced to buy oil that when brought Into Nebraska , regardless of Its being auovo or below Ne braska test , according to our laws must bo inspected by my.solf or deputies ; 1 have , therefore , given ( special attention to these localities , either myself or ono of my depu- 'tics visiting these dilTcrcnt points at regular intervals. South Dakota and Kansas have oil inspec tion laws , so that oil shipped into our state from any point In thcso states Inivo always been fully up to our standard. Colorado and Wyoming , however , have no Inspection laws , nnd most oil shipncd in from these states 1 liavo been obliged to reject , and when so rejected have always assured myself of Its having been shipped back to the point from which it came , thus preventing any possi bilities of its being used in our state , Olllclill Dutlru I When 1 ilrst took charge of this ofllco the greater bulk of the oil sold In the stale was Inspected in Omaha and Lincoln , since that , tlmo numerous tank lines have been estab lished at Interior towns , necessitating moro time nnd travel and expense to inspect the s n ino quantity of oil , and should this policy of the oil companies in establishing , interior > stations bo continued , it will bo but a phort ttino hoforo ono or moro additional deputies ' will bo required to attend to the inspection of the stato. Notwithstanding the unusual expense this department has been subjected to , in patrol 1- ling the border lines , and In having places for Inspection so largely Increased , I am pleased to say that it has been self-sustain ing , and that over and above all expenses I have been ublo to accumulate a balance of fl,18'J.OV , ns shown in the statement at tached. I shall deposit the same with thu Btato treasurer , taking his receipt. Close association with the workings of the oil Inspection law of Nebraska shows me Its value and the possibilities of great danger to the general public should it at any time bo repealed , Thu cost of inspection is noml- nul. it being less than imo-lif th of 1 cent u gallon , and being so small is hardly placed upon the consumer , and should it bo , they can well afford to pay it for the guarantee of safety It affords thorn. If unv changes iiro'to be made In the law I would suggest that the test bo raised to 105 ° or ixisslbly to Jit ) ° | that uo brands relating to inspection. ItUer by fire or other method , bo permitted upon the barrel , exrcjttliiff the hratul of in- > specllon | as applied by the oil insi > ector or his ! deputy. OH companies nro In tl.o habit of branding barrels with n Jlro test t f vari ous degrees according to their fancy , which brands may bo correct and may not , but In somuch as n lire test is higher on the s.imo quality of oil than the test provided by our laws , and Is Invariably marked In large nold- face letters and calculated to lead the pur chaser to bcllero ho Is ( retting nn Oll with n much higher test than the hnv requires , or than our Inspection shows , I believe some steps should be taken to iircvent these mis leading br.tnds. U-ist , but not least , all verbiaeo connected with the law should bo removed. Very respectfully , I-oris IlKiMiinn. State Inspector of Oils. Thp Krlnvc-tmont Nittijrnt. The reinvestment of his Income Is often n matter of serious thought and study to the capitalist. In these early dnvs of the year , when his dividends are coming in , many a man of means turns to life insurance ns a safe method of replacing his accrued wealth. Of course life Insur.ineo Is primarily and always tn bo considered as a protection to the family , hut the world would bo much Interested to know how largely It Is also viewed as an Investment. Thousands of the most thoughtful and successful men of busi ness everywhere are continually availing themselves of life insurance as a channel through which positive good will How to their heirs and at the same time probable benefits Inure to themselves.

FEASTED IN A PR .NT SHOP. rte.-isiint Air.ilr In the Olllce of thu Young Men's , ) i > iirnil. : Bjjyond the noonday and midnight lunches , feasts in printing oflices are not very frequent , so the affair last evening the ofllcc of the Young Men's Jour nal was as novel as it was enjoyable. The table on which the banquet was spread was placed in the middle of the room. All around were cases of type and the hundreds of other articles used by printers , but nameless to ono unfamiliar with tlio terms of the guild. ' At the table were sc.ited several prominent divines , physicians and others well known in relitrious'and onslness circles. Con spicuous among tlieso were Hishop Newman , Dean G.irdner , Ucv. J. W. Shank of the Christian Advocate , Ucv. A. B. Graham of the Midland , Dr. D. A. Foote of the Medical and Surgical Hecord , Dr.V. . C. Henry , Hev. T. 13. Cramblet , Hov. John Gordon , J. O. Cortelyou , John Douglas , Secretary Unbcson of the Young Men's Christian association , and 13. S. Shank. The guests were received bv Raymond P. May , manager , and John M. Ha/.elton , editor of the Journal , who saw that the interval between the arrival of the guests and the serving uf the supper was pleasantly spent. After supper Hishop Newman was called upon for a few remarks. After speaking in a very complimentary way of what had been accomplished by the young men of the Journal , ho said that there is u good Held for the publication. A healthy , invigor ating class of literature is needed , ho said , by the young men and boys of the country. Their minds are poisoned , and they lack tlio robust morality which is so beauti ful to see. . Ho thought something should bo done to lift the minds of young men from 1m- pure thoughts and romuvn them from ener vating intluences , declaring a great geol could bo done in that line by such a paper as the Journal. Other remarks were made by Dr. Henry , Rev. Shank , Uev. Graham , Mr. Kobcsan and Dr , Foot. Dean Gardner , in a thoughtful address , the serloiisne.ss of wht'h was brightened by an occasional ( lash of spontaneous wit , con curred with Ulshop Newman in the belief that n bettor class of reading matter is desirable for young men , to turn the current of their thoughts Into beautiful and ennobling channels. Ho believed that too little attention wan paid to what young men read , declaring that miroand proper thought is as necessary to man's moral being as food is for the llesh. Referring to printing oillees , he said he could not remember of ever having seen a feast spread In such a place , but that ho had had a very brief experience with print ing ofllco pi which was not entirely satisfactory. Ho had oven made pi , but the foreman of the shop was oven less pleased with his achieve ment than himself. Many good wishes were expressed for the manager and editor and hopes voiced for the future prosperity of the Journal.

The second annual convention of the head enmp of the Itoynl Nelghlmrs of America has passed into history , and the result of Us deliberations can bo better determined by subsequent experience. Last evening shortly after 0 o'clock the session was adjourned sine die. and there was a hvclv hustling among the delegates tocatch outgoing trains , Most of the delegates bade each other farof'u well and departed last ovcnlng , Thositarho did tint will learu for their homes touriv' . They ail bear a hhidiy remembrance of their rqceptlon by the neighbors of this cLlv , and they will not quickly forget the lunfitallty so generally extended , anil the efforts put forth to make their stay a plcas'uit ono. Almost it .Storm. Yesterday's afternoon session was lacking In neighborly feeling. A cloud overshadowed the clear sky and some of 'the delegates aroused the elements by attempting to brush it aside and a storm of fury followed. It was a storm that threatened havoc , and it looked for a lime as if the third annual meeting might not bo so well attended as the second has been. Hut a cool head was present , and acting as peacemaker at the proper moment , subdued the stormy elements and when ad journment was taken thu historic calm fol lowed the storm , and there .was a parting love feast among the neighbors. Those who were privileged to attend the secret gatherings are reticent regarding the deliberations of the aftornbou meeting. They were bound to reveal nothing by a mo tion prevailing that the facts bo suppressed and not given to the press. One lady oven went so far as to suggest to a reporter that she wished all newspaper men were under . ' ' ground. ? > The storm of the afternoon was delayed until the last moment , and when it was turned loose it was a hummer. The cause of the disturbance was the conduct of a mem ber , being unbecoming a neighbor , and who was called to account by the head camp. A record book of ilnanc.cs had disappeared , and this created a suspicion that all was not right and an investigation followed. Just . what investigation developed Is not known , but when the executive committee and board of managers were ready to pro- ceed one of the best known court reporters hi the city was called in and took in shorthand - hand this proceedings. I ater a courier was sent for a copy of the revised statutes of Nebraska , and soon returned with the book , The presence of a well known attorney In addition to the other legal aspects of the proceedings created an Impression that the head camp was going to make a prosecutor of itself , and that the suspected member would be the ono prosecuted. The 11:11110 : of the party who is accused of violating the obligation and acting in a manner unbecom ing a Koyai Neighbor is sacredly guarded by those who were present at the session and they say it will neveu be known to the out side work ! . More than three hours were consumed of the afternoon session by the discussion and i a very small amount of other business was transacted. The dinlcuHy was settled to the satisfaction of the delegates and all evidence of the unpleasantness was removed when the convention adjourned. Ycstrrdsiy's IJiihinrM Meeting ? . There was a decided increase in the attend ance yesterday morning at the session of the lloyal Neighbors. The members of the local camps were more numerous than has char- aeteri/.ed the former meetings , and two moro delegates arrived Wednesday evening and were present yesterday morning. They rep resent , fern Leaf camp of Pcoria , and are Mrs. T. Frank and Mrs. Ada C. Miller of that city.When When the opening exercises were com pleted the convention took up the discussion of the insurance feature. The lady dele gates are' thoroughly conversant with the needs of the head camp and thu debaters consumed the whole forenoon in the discussion of that subject. There was a unanimous feeling in favor of adopting the insurance feature , but there was opposition to different propositions in regard to when the plan should bo added and what sum policies should bo issued in. The discussion was interesting and the ladies proved themselves cexcelliit debaters , and if some of the Woodmen had been pres ent they might have feared for the safety of , their laurels as speakers. After much dis- cusslon and many amendments it was voted to adopt the insurance plan and the matter was referred to the board of managers and head officers of the camp to perfect the details and report within six months. Pol icies will bo issued in the sums of 500 and $ . " > 00 and the plan of the Modern Woodmen will be adopted for the governing of the department. Some of the delegates favored beneficiaries in larger sums than $300 and $500 , and others wanted the plan adopted and put In force immediately , and there was a few who in sisted that at the next session of ' the head camp would be the time to take the necessary stops. A compromise was effected and the various dissenting Airings were brought to- ECther in that manner. At 12 o'clock a recess was taken until " o'clock in the afternoon. The supreme oracle appointed the commit tee on credentials as follows : Mrs. E. T. lUcpon , Mrs. A. M. Boyers and Mrs. E. E. Adams. Committee on revision of by-laws : Mrs. 1C. C. Hamsay , Mrs. T.

At Hoyd's new theater , beginning Sunday , January , 8 , for three ' nights comes the now farcical comedy , "A Mad Bargain , " in which It is reported that James T. Powers has made the chief success of his career. The comedy is the joint work of John J. McNally and Julian Mitchell. The name of Mr. Mc Nally Is , of course , familiar to the theater going public , as the author of "A Straight I ? Tip,1' which Mr. Powers has exploited here with such success. "A Mad Uargaln" Is on wa higher plane than Its predecessor. There are : but three specialties in the piece , one each : by Mr. Powers. Mr. Daly and Miss Leon i Forrest. The latter is said to bo a highly talented and beautiful dancer. These specialties come naturally In the story of the piece , and they are Introduced In deference 1't to tlio present public taste. ' There is nothing moro Interesting and entertaining In the theatrical line than a good strong melodrama replete with special ties , and such is Houclcault's drama ofjon \ - don life , "After Dark , " which will bo the attraction at the Farnam Street theater all next week commencing with matinee Sun day , January 8. This stirring play needs no fulsome commendation. Its own intrinsic merit is sutllcient to ensure the favor of all lovers of melodramas , pure In tone , human in its development of character and yet pre senting phases of life which , while stnrt- ingly real , are wonderfully true to nature. To see It once generates a desire to witness additional repetitious , and with each the interest in the play grows. In the construc tion of the piece there are introduced fea tures of a decidedly novel and interesting nature , notably the realistic London music hall scene , which serves as a vehicle for the Introduction of a host of vaudeville stars. Usual Wednesday and Saturday matinee. Thursday evening , January 12 , Hoyt's famously successful creation , "A Trip to Chinatown , " will come to Boyd's for three nights and a Saturday nnjtiuec. Those who arc posted in things theatrical will remem ber that this play is now In Its second year at Hoyfs Madison Square theater in Now York and that the company now cnroute to San Francisco was formed especially for the road and began Its season in Harlem , or upper Now York City , oven while the Madi son square production was In the midst of its llrst year's run. The company has been giv ing this masterpiece of Hoyt's in all the large cities and will continue to do so during the Columbian exposition.

The extensive firm of Francis Whit- taker & Sons have sold out their hog plant at the National Stock yards in St. Lou is and it is generally understood that Swift & Co. of Chicago , Kansas City and Omaha will take possession of the property and greatly improve it preparatory to embarking in the business of packing on a very largo scale. Whittaker .fcSons will continue in business here. They have one big plant at Wichita , Kan. , another big establishment in St. Louis and it is probable will now build a third es tablishment. o Perfect r > ction anil parted health result from the useof DC Witt's Little Early Risers A perfect little pill.

Ho went home last night apparently of sound mind , but arose at ( i o'clock this morning and blew his bruins out with a revolver. As Mr. Ferris had no financial obligations which he could not meet , was well and com fortably situated in the suburbs of St. Ixniis with his wife and four children , the theory of his suicide most generally accepted is that ho was temporarily insane. Some of his fellow employes state that the mind can bo affected by the handling of powerful drugs , and believe insiinity to have been superinduced by his work in the labora tory. tory.An An honest pill is thu noblest work of the apothecary.
