tician. Not satisfied with the two most im
portant offices, Omaha republicans
continued to hang on, nnd so landed
the railway commissionership for Mr.
Clarke nnd in many respects the
railway commissioner is a more im
portant officer than the governor ev

ished gorging themselves the repub
licans of Lincoln pushed in nnd grab

left. They appropriated the offices
of secretary of state, state auditor,
attorney general, nnd innil commis
sioner for Lincoln men.

The Nebraskn democracy presents
to the voters nn entirely different
sort of ticket. It is n ticket no part
of which had to depond on the Omahn
voto for its nomination, nnd which is
broadly representative of every part

Tlie state has just received its quar
terly allowance from the United States
government, ".mounting to $8,51)0, for
' the maintenance of the soldiers and
sailors homes in Nebraska. The gov
ernment pnys the state $100 each for
the care of the soldiers and their wives
in these homes. This pnys about half
the cost of the care of each member.
There are 100 members of the Mil

One of the plensant phases of tho
recent primary, especially ono on
which the Democrats arc just now
congratulating themselves is the re
markable gain in votes ovr two and
four years ngo. The Democratic pri
mary gnin in four years is approxi
mately 08 per cent, while the republi
can gnin is only 29 per cent. The totnl
Democratic voto cast in tho recent
primaries was 80,887, against 51,

Gnso-tonic is a new one on tho
Pure Food and Oil Commission. Re
cently nn affable and versatile young
gent with a vocabulnry to match, hir
ed an up-town store room nnd stock
ed it withn liquid called Gaso-Tonic,
supposed to lie manufactured in Cin
cinnati, and proceeded to dispense
it to an unsophisticated public at
$8.00 per gallon. The salesman claim
ed thnt a few drops of it squirted into
the gas tank of an auto would increase
the mileage of gasoline at least 25 per
cent. The gentleman was doing a
land office business when one of Food
Commissioner Harman's inspectors
happened along and being of a curious
disposition, ns befit his vocation, be
gan nn investigation. A enn of the
tonic wns procured and analysed by
the state chemist. It was found to
contain practically 100 per cent pe
troloum product, with the same spe
cific grilYJty ns gasoline. As the state
law requires gasoline am' kggene to
be inspected before being sold in Ne
braska, the affable and versatile gent
was haled before the court nnd made
to pay a fine of $150.00 for selling
a pctrolium product in Nebraska with
out first being inspected. The Food
Commission hnB resurrected Barnum's
famous speech of seven words. J
A check of $0,928.90 was received
this week by State Treasurer Hall,
coming from the institute for Feeble
Minded at Beatrice. This sum repre
sents the amount paid to the insti
tution onb ehnlf of the inmates who
come from (liferent sections of the
state. The state law requires that the
parent or guardian, if financially able
to dc so, nnd if not, that the county
of their residence be obligated to pay
to the institution the sum of $40.00
yearly for each ward under the state's
care, the money to be used to purchnse
clothing for them. This is designated
ns a cash fund. Formerly this money
was expended directly by the super
intendent in charge. A year or two
ago an investigation disclosed that
this money was not being used to the
best advantage and could not be un
der the system of buyinf then in
vogue. When State Treasurer Hall
took charge of his office he insisted
that this money bo turned into the
state treasury and drawn out on state
warrants the same as other institu
tional cash funds, under the direction
of the board of commissions. The
board recently made a ruling to this
effect, and hereafter clothing for the
wards of this institution will be pur
chased under its direction and with
the same advantages that the other
fourteen institutions now enjoy.
