Interruption uf Ills Term.
Through the Interference of John M.
Thayer and 1C. C. Cams and by the refusal
of the various oil companies In the state to
permit mo to Inspect the oils received and
sold by them , I was prevented from perform
ing the duties of my ofllco from July 1 , Ib'Jl ,
to February 7 , 18L' ! . 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

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.

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.

Dl.iturlinl Ventrnliiy'n Meeting
All I * I , ovcly Now.
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. Fraiflcs. Mrs. A.

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.

pected to greatly increase the volume of pork
packing business of'St. Louis became known
today. 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.

Took Ills Own Life.
ST. Louis , Mo. , Jan. n. Charles C. Ferris ,
superintendent of the pharmaceutical pro
duction department of the Meyer 13ros.
Drug : company , committed suicide this morn
ing ' by shooting himself in the head with a
88-caliber revolver at his home at Ellcmlalo ,
St. Louis eamity. 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.
