Not Up to the Test.
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.

Trouble In tlic Family.

tno servant girl. Last Friday evening , ns
McCampboll was returning homo from the
city , ho met Harris. The latter demanded
to Uno\v the whereabouts of his wife , nnd
McCampboll said ho know nothing about It.
Harris drew a revolver , and , pointing it at
"Mac , " exclaimed : "D n you , hero is the
thing that will miiko you toll. " McCampboll
drove on homo , nnd was not further mo
lested. Hairis claims that McCampboll as
sisted in spiriting away his wife , und that in
the encounter Friday evening ho became violently
lently demonstrative. These are the stories
told by the two men. In the meantime Mrs.
Harris Is in hiding , and a wrathy husband

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.
