ABOLISH THE OIL INSPECTION.
That the state inspection pf coal
oil is a rank piece of populistic pat
ernalism of purest type, and an ex
pensive bit of follj is shown by the
report of the outgoing1 inspector L
F. Hilton. It shows that during
the vear 1894 there were inspected
101.064 barrels of oil at a cost of
$11,274.31. This covered the entire
amount. of oil examined, as during
the whole year not one barrel was
discovered which could be rejected.
For the month of January. 1895.
there has been inspected and ap
proved 7.431 barrels of oil at au ex
pense of $750.64, of which not one
barrel has been rejected. From
April 1. 1893 to Dec. 1. 1893. inclu
sive there were 77,678 barrels in
spected, at an expense pf 459,110.-21,
and not one rejected. Taking this
little period of twenty-one months,
according to the inspector's own,
figures, and we discover that the
consumer has had to pay the snug
sum of $21,135.16. Is this not pret
ty dear for our whistle? What
have we gained by this inspection?
Positively not one thing not a
particle of oil has been rejected, ac
cording to the showing. It is no
toriously well known that the so
called test in this state is not a
rigid one, and had the Standard
Oil monopoly been desirous it
could have run into Nebraska a
much lower grade of oil which
would still have come within the
provisions of the law. Our state
is no freer from explosions than
those which prescribe no tests but
let the oil come in upon business
principles; i. e. a low grade or in
fkimable oil will not be purchased
by the public on account of its dan
gerous character, any more than
axle grease butter or oleomargarine
will drive out the best creamery or
dairv product.
Nor is that all, for by the figures
of the same document we discover
that during the same period the
outgoing inspector has collected
the sum of $10,149.20 for the in-;
spection of gasoline, of which the
official naively (not knavely) says:
"I can find no authority under '
the law for the collection of fees
for -inspecting gasoline, and am !
advised that I am individually lia- j
ble to the parties from whom such !
fees are collected if they shbuld j
make a demand upon me that the j
fees so collected should be re
funded."' The question naturally arises has
Mr. Hilton been blackmailing the
Standard Oil Company out of these
fees for the alleged inspection of
gasoline, although he candidly i
confesses that he believes under
the law he had no right to do so?
Xext has this levying of tribute
been the means of closing the of
ficial ej'e while inferior coal oil was
permitted to enter the state?
Of the amount of so-called fees
for the inspection of gasoline Mr.
Hilton proposes to try and retain
$5,621.96, as he claims there was a
deficiency in the aggregate fees

Ex-Mayor Hewitt speaks of the
present situation at Washington ;
-a spectacle of ignorance, idiocy
and positive lunacy;" and being
democratrhe has a right to speak
his mind in that f ree and emphatic
manner.
Henry Clews has no fears that
even a democratic administration
can wreck the credit of this nation
in the short time that must elapse
before the republicans secure control
of every branch of the government.
He bases this belief on the follow
ing table of national debts: United
States, $1,064,241,000; Austria-Hun
gary, $2, 866, 339.539; France. $4,446.-
793.398; Great Britain, $3,330,119,-
563; Germauy, Prussia, etc.,$2,381,
422.112; Italy. $2324.826. 329;Russia,
$3,491,018,494. This country has
the smallest debt and the largest
resources of any of the great power.
The per capita debt of Canada is
$60, against $15 here. The liabili-
tibes growing out of the recent
panic, the worst the country has
ever known, amount to less than 1
per cent off the true assets of the
people. "No one can appreciate
these facts," he says, "without hav
ing faith in our country's hope to
be better times in the near future.

during his term of $4,527.24. Now
if the inspector's position as quoted
above trom the language of his re
port true, the amount can never be
recovered by the state from himself
or bondsmen, as the law will not
give the great state of Nebraska
any greater latitude in the collec
tion of illegal fees than it will the
individual. The amount of con
fessed' illegal fees which Mr. Hil
ton hopes to retain constitutes near
ly one-half of the entire amount col
lected during his entire official life.
The lesson to be drawn from the
above presentment is that it would
be better for the state of Nebraska
to abolish its espionage of illumina
ting oils at least as at present
conducted and allow the business
to be managed like any other, upon
sound business principles, viz: that
the best oil will sell readiest at
profitable prices, and inferior oil
will only be bought at purchaser's
risk only upon grounds of its cheapness.

Representative Harris has intro
duced a couple of bills which
the committees have recommended
be adopted. One of them relates
to the salaries of county superin
tendents; the other appropriates
$20,000 for the agricultural experi
ment stations heretofore estab
lished at Ogallala and Culbertson.
He will be in luck if he gets through
both houses.
Senator Akers was invited to
Hastings last Saturday to address
a meeting of Adams county farmers
upon his irrigation bill, modelled
after the Wright law of California.
It is said the bill is meeting with
general approval, with the excep
tion of the" "free silver" fellows who
object to the fact that in the origi
nal draft of the measure a provision
tor gold-bearing interests which
is usual in California had inad
vertently slipped in. For the im-
formation of these opponents it is
only necessary to state that this
objectionable feature was stricken
out at the first meeting of the irri
gation committee.
The pop senators succeeded in
putting themselves on record by
solidly voting for populist Senator
Stewart's bill providing for the
forfeiture of school land leases after
the interest thereon had become
three months' delinquent. Fortun
ately there was enough of a republi
can majority to give the measure
its quietus. What do the drouth
striken populists of Lincoln county
think of such a bill.
A pretty good general idea of the
amount of work done this session
can be obtained from the following
statement: The house has passed
twenty-five bills and killed four on
passage. It has indefinitely post
poned sixty-nine. It has 100 house
rolls and one senate file on general
file read for consideration in com
mittee on 'the whole. It has 249
house rolls and seven senate files in
the hands of its standing commit
tees. There are four senate files
on first reading, three house rolls
and six senate files on second read
ing, three house rolls on third read
ing and one bill on the table a posi
tion which would doubtless be a
surprise to any bill. The senate
has passed thirteen bills, indefi
nitely postponed sixteen, has two
on third reading, has forty-two in
in the hands of the printer and 127
in the hands of the standing com
mittees. In the house 486 bills have
been introduced, and in the senate
291.
The seed bond bill has passed
both houses. Under its provisions
counties may vote bonds to the
amount of five per cent of the as
sessed valuation for the purpose of
seed grain, and authority is given
to invest the permanent school
funds in such bonds. It is thought
there will be no trouble in finding
a market for county bonds voted
under the provisions of the act.
Some controversy arose in the
house over what the committee on
public lands and buildings consid
ered was their exclusive privilege
that pf junketing among the
state institutions by the finance
committee.. The matter was set
tled by the chairman of. each com
mittee selecting three members
from his confreres to make the

ADRY TELLS BIS STORY
Harry Hayward's Brother Testifies In
the Murder Trial.
USE THE INSANITY DDD3E.
Oljections of Defendant's Counsel to H
Testimony Overruled by the Court Ex
amination or Ex-Mayor East's End
Mi Third Hrother Will Testify.
Minneapolis, Feb. 11. Adry Hay
ward, the brother of the mau accused of
murdering Catherine Ging, was in
court this "morning before the trial be
gun. His wife sat beside him with
traces of receut tears upon her cheeks.
but Adry maintained a mask of smiles
and joviality. When Harry was brought
in by the deputies the two brothers met,
but there was no sign of recognition
other than a smile of commiseration on
the face,of Harry. Dr. Thaddeus T.
Hayward, the third brother, was pres
ent and was visibly more cordial
to Harry than to Adry. It is under
stood he will go on the stand and
Bwear that his brother Adry is mentally
incapable and, in fact, insane. The di
rect examination of ex-Mayor Eustis
was resumed at the opening of the court.
The ex-mayor repeated the now familiar
story. Adrian Hawyard was then called
to the stand. He stated that he was 33
and Harry was 29 year3 of age. He
nan. come to Jiinueapous Sio years ago
from Macoupin county, Illino s, where
ho was born. He was employed in his
father's office, and transacted most of
the loan and rental business. Harry
was not employed there, but ofton came
there. Harry had told him that last
summer and fall he was engaged in
loaning money on diamonds. Harry
had also told him that he
gambled some. He had told him
of having loaned money for Miss
Ging and of having gambled with her
money. At this point Mr. Erwin arose
and said: "I wish to enter an objection
here. This witness has an illusion on
this subject and is in fact insane."
"I don't see," said the court, "that
he's any more insane than some of the
attorneys in this case."
'I take an exception to the court's
ruling," retorted Envin.
With that remark he sr.t down and
the examination proceeded.
"He told me," continued Adry, "that
she held some notes secured by a mort
gage on a floSr mill at Hamel and asked
me to go out with him to Hamel audseo
about it. We drove out, and though I
advised him against the loan he made
it. Three weeks later he came in and
said he had been very lucky as the mill
had burned and he would probably get
the money to handle. About the middle
of September he asked me if I wanted
to make good money. I said yes and he
said I could get about $2,000 if I
was not particular. He asked me
if I was willing to kill a woman
for $2,000. I said I was not
willing to kill anybody. He said
it was easy to do it aud nobody would
be suspicious of me, as they only looked
up a set of criminals who had been con
victed of crimes before. After that ho
said he knew a hackmau that would do
anything for him. He said it would bo
easy to kill her in a hack and, if neces
sary, the hackmau conld be killed too.
I asked him if the hackmau had a fam
ily and he said he did I then said it
would be an awful thing to kill a wo
man, let alone a hackman. After that
he suggested getting her drowned in a
lake, but that looked too much like sni
cide and he gave it up. Then he
wondered how she would fall if he took
her riding in a buggy and they should
strike a boulder, whether she would
fall in or out.
On the morning of Nov. 6 Harrv had
come to his flat. "He took out a pack
age of money," continued Adry, "and
asked if my vault was open. I said no,
as it was election day. Then he said he
was through with me aud that I had
not any nerve. He had found a man,
however, who had nerve, an ex-policeman
named C. A. Blixt."
Turning to the question of life insur
ance, witness said: "He said the dress
maker had bean up in the New York
Life and had passed the examination all
right, but there was some mistake about
the papers aud they had to be sent- back.
Sue make a mistake in getting a o,000
instead of a $7,000 policy.
"He said," the witness continued,
"that he had killed two persons in the
east and he had killed a third, but he
stopped there and would say nothing
more. He also said he had caused a
fire where the loss was $450,000. He
eaidheg.t $2 for doing it. Ho said
there was nothing in haunting people.
I had told him that if he killed her she
would haunt him. He said: 'People
dream of such things, but it you had
any nerve you would go out and
kill somebody. It don't make any
difference who, so you kill some
one. Kill a cripple, its better for
them to die than to live anyway.
Go out and kill sooieoue and I will
give yon $100.' I askad him how he
would know that I had dons it and he
said he could see it the papars. I said I
would not do it. The last conversation
I had with him I don't want to say any
thing about, but I went and told Elder
Stewart."
"Hold on there," said Erwin; "we ob
ject as immaterial."
The objection was sustained, but
Adry was allowed to state that he made
a communication to Mr. Stewart.
"Shortly after 7:30 on the night of the
murder Harry came to my flat and asked
me for $5. I gave it to him aud then he
said: 'You'd better go to the theater
tonight. Take your wife and go, some
thing is going to happen.' He seemed
a little excited it was one of the few
times I ever saw him excited. I took
him by the arm and tried to detain him
He shoved himself loose and said: 'I'v
no time to fool now. I'm in a hurr-
Then he went away. I asked my wife if
she did not want to go up and make a visit
to her father. At first she said she was
too tired, but we finally went. When we
got home, or shortly afterwards, I
heard a qnick step in the hallway and
then saw a light in Harry's room. I
heard -nothing more until 3 in the morn
ing, when narry came to the door and
said, "Something has happened. Miss
Ging has been .murdged. She was
f onnd stone dead in the road near Lake
.Calhoun." He asked me to come into
his flat and I did so. He got out his
Colt's revolver aud cleaned it. There
was very little dirt on it. As he was
doing this he said: ylt'a just like pick
ing up money."
TO SUE ZX-GII. INSPECTOR HILTON.
Refuses to Give Up 85,000 In Fees Collected
' - '.on Gasoline. .
Lincoln, Feb.ll. It is said that suits
will be commenced today by Attorney
General Churchill on the bonds of ex
Oil Inspector Hilton. Hilton refused
to turn over $5,000 in fees to the state,
claiming that they were paid in fees for
inspecting .gasoline, and since there is
no law warranting inspection of the
fluid he was personally liable for the re
turn of the same. There was a confer
ence held between Governor Holcomb,
State Auditor Moore and the attorney
general, in which the case of Hilton
was freely canvassed. They arrived at
the decision that in the absence of any
prima facie evidence of intent to de
fraud the state Hilton oonld not bo pro
ceeded against save in a civil suit on his
bond. The claim set up by Hilton that
gasoline is not an illuminating oil is
laughed at by- every official connected
with the stato house. The fact is
pointed out that a .number of towns in
the state use it for illuminating pur
poses in their street lamps. It is hinted
that Hilton has so disposed of his funds
that ho is execution proof, aud there is
considerablaspeculation as to what has
become of the money.

ABSOLUTEIY PURE
Victoria, B. C, Feb. 11. Hawaiian
advices by steamer "Warrimoo to Feb
2: There is a lull in affairs here and
quiet will probably reign until the rnili-
tary court, now 6itting, will have fin
ished its work. There are a large nnm
ber of conspiracy cases yet to be tried
! and the probabilities are that the court
will for two or three weeks at least.
Great interest is attached to the forth
coming trial of the ex-queen. ..The gov
' ernment claims to have more than suf
ficient evidence to convict her of trea
son. What her punishment will be in
case of conviction is hard to conjecture.
Her case will probably come up on next
Monday., She is charged -with treason.
The charges read:
First Treason by engaging in open re
bellion against the republic of Hawaii, by
attempting by force of arms to overthrow
and destroy the same and by levying war
against the same, and by adhering to the
enemies of the republic of Hawaii, giving
them aid and comfort withm the Ha
waiian islands and elsewhere.
Second Treason by aiding, allotting,
procuring, counselling, inciting, counten
ancing and encouraging others to commit
treason and engage in open rclnjllion
against tho republic of Hawaii aud to at
tempt by force of arms to overthrow the
same, and adhere to the enemies or the re
public of Hawaii, in giving them aid and
comfort in the Hawaiian islands and else
where.
Tl ere are six specifications in tho
charge. The military commission has
brought in findings in 24 cases. Their
names are: R. W. Wilcox, S. Nowlein,
H. E. Bertehnan, Carl Wiedemann, W.
H. C. Greig, Louis Marshall, W. C.
Lane, J. C. June, C. T. Gnlick, W. H,
Rickards, W. Seward, T. B. Walker,
Solomon Eaui, Pelahna, Lot Lane,
Thomas Poole, J. Ealakuia, Robert Pe-
lau, J. W. Kipikane. Kelioua, Joseph
Clark, E. Kiolani, Joseph Clark, D.
Januha, W. Widdifield. Joea Kiakihi.
Leaders Sentenced to Hang.
Of the foregoing D. Januha and J.
Kalaukoa were acquitted. The others
were all. found guilty and sentences
were fixed by the committee subject to
review b President Dole. The sen
tences vary much, all the way from sen
tence of death to imprisonment for five
years with fines. The lowest sentonco
for treason by the Hawaiian statutes is
imprisonment for five years and a fine
of not less chau $3,000. The six leaders
were all sentenced to be hung. They
are: Charles T. Gnlick, William H.
Rickard, William T. Seward, Robert
W. Wilcox, Sam Nowleiu and Henry
Bertehnan. Sentence in the last two
eases will be commuted, as botli men
have furnished valuable evidence for
the government. Gnlick was born in
this country. Rickard is an English
man. Wilcox is a Hawaiian.
The only one of the four who is en
titled to the protection of tho United
States is William T. Seward. As yet
no date has been fixed for the execu
tions. The only important case tried by
the military court since the departnre of
(lie Australia is that of V. V. Ashford.
He is charged with treason. A batch of
20 native rebels, charged with treason,
is now occupying the attention of the
court. United States Minister Willis
has changed liis attitude somewhat,
since tho last advices. He is not so
billigerent in his demands. His latest
communication to the government is a
request that if the death penalty is im
posed in cases of any Americans that
the executions be jwstpoued until he can
communicate with his government. The
British commissioner has made a simi
lar request. Thus far bnt two men who
claim American protection have been
tried. Thejj" are Lonis Marshal, charged
with open rebellion and Thomas Walker,
who pleaded guilty to the charge of
treason.
The government has decided to banish
three persons from the islands for com
plicity in the rebellion. They are J. E.
Cranston and A. Muller, for conspiring
to use dynamite, and J. R. Johnston,
special police officer, who turned traitor.
The men will bo sent on the Warrimoo,
leaving for Victoria today. Cranston
and Muller were to blow up the Cen
tral Union church on tho night when
the rebellion broke out. Of the exiles,
Johnston is a British subject, Cranston
an American and Muller a German.
They say they do not know what they
were arrested for; were given no trial;
were kept confined without any chance
of communication, and did not know
they were to leavo until the Warrimoo
whistled to leave. Johnston will remain
at Vancouver, but the others say they
will not leave the steamship, bnt will re
turn on her to Honolulu when she goes
back. They claim that they have been
victims of gross outrage.
MinUtcr Hatch May Jtealgn.
Schooner Norma arrived at Honolulu
on Jan. 30 with a cargo of salmon, 5G
days from Claxton. No traces of arms
or opium wero found and thus another
sensation was spoiled. The steamer
Daisy Kimball, recently purchased by a
Hawaiiau firm, was wrecked on the
coast of Hawaii on Jan. 25. She proved
to be a total loss. Insured for $35,000
F. M. Hatch, the minister of foreign af
fairs, may resign shortly and leave for
San Francisco. His successor will prob
ably be W. N. Armstrong, formerly of
the New York bar. To obtain a de
cision of his exact status, F. C. Jones, a
prominent property holder under the re

The Perils of Dentistry To Dentists.
A sensation has been caused in Berlin
by the death of a dentist from blood
poisoning under the following circum
stances: On drawing a lady's tooth he
happened to get his finger into the pa
tient's mouth. At that moment sho con
vulsively closed her teeth. A few hours
afterward the dentist was found to be
suffering from blood poisouing, which
spread so rapidly that an operation
.which was performed on the same day,
had no effect. The next day he becamo
delirious and died shortly afterward.
