There is grief in store for n number of Omaha gasoline and kerosene merchants who have been vending their wares In Council lilulTa for some time past. It seems that the ofllcial test i about ten degrees higher in Iowa than in Ncbraslta. The Iowa test is 105 degrees and the Nebraska test is 100 de grees. The other five degrees is made in the difference between the cups used in testing , the Iowa inspectors usius : the Elliott and the Nebraska inspectors the Foster cup. The result is that oil is sold in Iowa that will not stand the lowu test. Said Deputy Inspector Lynchard , yesterday , "These Omaha parties are doubtless doing this in ig norance ol the law on the matter and I want to warn them that they must desist. If they do not , I shah have to prosecute them , and the penalty will not bo pleasant for them. " Hereafter It will bu unpleasant for any Omaha linn which tries to dispose of oil in the state without having it inspected here as required by law. Council Illufl' * Appreciates Fine Art.

They hunt the rattlesnake every sum mer in this country for his oil , which is believed to ho a euro for deafness , and such is worth 5U an ounce , says an Adams , Mass. , correspondent of the New York World. But the Yankee hunter's native ingenuity has hit upon an ingenious method of capturing the festive rattler , which may not be very brave , but is certainly very effective. Choosing a red-hot summer day in the dry season , the rattlesnake hunter saunters forth into the region where the reptiles nro known to abound. One mar. carries a lish-polo another a sharp scythe. The lish-polo has a btout wire attached to it , and there is an ordinary piekcrnl hook on the end of the wire. Moving cautiously through the grass &o as not to disturb the sleeping snake , who is always found basking in the warm sun near a loose ledge or rook , ono of the men prods his fanakcship more or less gently with the lish pole , being careful also to hold the hook invitingly near the rattler's head. Like any other sleeper suddenly in terrupted , the snake wakes up an'grv , makes a dart at the nearest irritating object , which is the flbh hook , and very accommodatingly allows the sharp tine's to penetrate his jaws. Hi > may rattle and bibs and wriggle and writhe and fehoot out ounces of his deadly poison , hut the poison meets but the vacant air. The man with the lihh polo holds the entrapped - trapped rattlesnake at a safe distance , while his comrade moves up nnd , with ono well-aimed blow of his trusty scythe , severs the bnako's head from his body. The body then is de posited in a bag and the hunters go in search of other game. The most famous hunter of rattle snakes after this provincial manner is Isaac Spurr , who lives in the southon part of the county , near Mount Ever ett , a region long noted for its snakes. Spurr always goes out just before a storm , for at that time , ho says , experi ence proves , the rattler comes out of his hole. IIo has caught thousands of these snnUcs in his time , nnd has ac quired buch knowledge of their habits that ho can trap one every time. Years ago ho found thorn much more plenti ful and much larger. IIo caught ono once which was 'cloven feet long anel thirty-Iivo years old. When Spurr dressed the biinko for his oil , ho found a young woodchuck in the stomach. Spurr's reputation as a biuiko catcher extends far and wide , and when the zoological folks want a snake for ex hibition they alw.ays drop Spurr a line , nnd they are rarely disappointed. Throe rattlers caught by him were taken to the Centra , ! park V.oo and are hero now. A Good Memory. Brooklyn church member ( to pastor ) That was a beautiful bormon of yours. Dr. Potts.
