LINCOLN, July 20. (Special.) State Oil
Inspector E It. Slzer has lnaut?uratcd sev
eral -npovattons In the oinclal Inspection
of oil in this state which will not only
greatly reduce thu expenses of his oince
but will aUu Incrcaso the revenue to be
turned Into the public treasury. The de
tired result!) rre already apparent, but
they will bo gratifying to a greater degreo
iiflci Hie Ncnsoii chmiKcs and the work of
the ollleu li, crease. Invariably tho amount
r,f oil i-ii.i gasoline sold In Nebraska is
tinaller In summer than In winter and for
thl3 rcison the receipts for Inspection are
always lower during the midwinter months
than any other period of the year.
When Mr. Slzcr assumed the duties of oil
Inspector he found tho rocordH of past In
spection woefully Incomplete. A thorough
revision of the bookkeeping methods was
iicroHfliiry to place the department upon a
businesslike foundation. Under the fusion
reijinif It was customary for the Inspectors
to subml: monthly reports. showing the
amount of oil Inspected and blanket re
port giving n few details as to trips and
expenses Undo." the present administra
tion a complete record Is kept of every In
flection, whether It be of a i;allon or a
tralnload of oil and no allowance Is mado
for expenses: where thu proper vouchers are
not given. When tho oil Inspector or a
deputy makes a trip In nn official capacity
he pays his railroad fara and receives a
receipt from the agent who sells tho
ticket. These receipts form the only cvl
den. e upon which any allowance Is made
for railroad fare.
There Is u marked contrast between theso
methods and those pursued by tho former
Inspectors. It Is a matter of common
knowledge that fusion deputies under for
mer Inspector IMmlsten rode on passes
rind charged for mlleago In their expense
accounts. Under tho voucher system ma
nipulation of funds for railroad fare, Is
rendered Impossible.
Uu iTimr 1'ohili (Int I)lcrcinner.
No better Indication of tho looseness of
the fusion administration In the oil In
spection department can be found than
that contained In a letter wrlttcr by for
mer (iovernor 'lolcomb to J. II. Edmlsten,
Mnlo oil limpeUor, January 25, 1898, In
which he unld:

I submit this matter to you for your eon

Investigate the discrepancy and make a
full, complete, ami accurate report for tho

Tho lutter, which has nover heretofore
been published, roveals tho state of nifatrs
which existed In nn nfflco presided over by
a self-styled reformer. It was written by
n fellow reformer, und tho original, con
taining tho slgnaturo of 0llan A. Holcomb,
can bo produced at any tints. It will be
noted that tho governor called attention to
a discrepancy of over $1,000 In tho report
for ono year's business. In not a slnglo
Instance, according to the stntcmonts of
the governor, ditl tho Items of the two re
ports agree
?lde from tho Internal management
of tho olllce Mr. Slzer Is striving to Im
provo and simplify the general work of
Inspection. Ho realizes tho possibilities of
the olllce nnd Is cxerMng every effort to
accomplish what has failed In the past.
Dlltlcn of Oil liiNiieotor.
'Tropin generally have a very crude Idea
of the nlllco of oil Inspector und Its duties,"
romarkid Mr. Slzer to a reporter for Tho
Dec. "nnd not many personb aro awaro
of ihe fact that It produces a reveuno for
tho trcafury Instead of being an expense
to tho state. It Is an Important depart
ment of tho stato and properly managed Is
far more than solf-sustalnlng.
"There are live deputy Inspectors at work
constantly. They arc appointed according
to congressional districts, but their terri
tory, however, Is not contlncd within the
district from which they aro appointed.
Tho bulk of all oil sold In Nebraska Is fur
nlahu.l by the Standard Oil company. This
company maintains whet are termed tank
stations nt forty places over tho state. Each
stntlon Is a distributing point, most of tho
oil being sold from tanks. Tho shipments
of oil In barrels have very iqatorlally (In
creased In recent years, owing to leakage
and heavy expense for barrels, nnd now

pany makes a shipment It notifies this

destination. Barrel shipments Are still
made from Lincoln. Omaha and Nebraska
City r.nd alt oil thus sold Is Inspected be
fore It leaves the station. If a barrel of
oil Is shipped Into the state we have to
Inspect It separately and It Is not often
profitable to do this, especially when tho
Inspector has to make a special trip
for the purpose. The fee for Inspecting
a single barret of oil Is 10 cents. Hut
whero a tank of oil Is Inspected the fee
Is worth going after. Tho smallest amount
of oil In ono tank Inspected recently was
slxty-rlne barrels. A tank may contain as

LiinenMer County Ueinihllcniis,
A meeting of tho Lancaster county re
publican central committee has been
called for next Friday evening for tho
purposo of preparing rules for tho
primaries, Chairman H. T. Dobbins makes
the following comment on matters pend
ing before the committee:
It hns been proposed that tho committee
men In tho city shall call their caucuses
for Monday vtnlng of tho week of tho
convention, Wednesday being primary day.
At this caucus, If there bo more than one
candidate desiring the support of the pre
cinct, It shnll be possible. If the caucus
so ugrefL, to namo n delegation and allow
tho republicans, by means of the Austra
lian ballot system, to express their choice,
which the delegation shall support In tho
cotuTiitlon. Tint objection to this pro
cd.ire, of course, Is that the delegation
may have been put up In tho Interest of the
defeated man nnd therefore not vcrv loyal
to tho successful one. The only other al
ternative, however. Is ror no caucus nnd
rival delegations nt the polls.
It Is felt, however, In otdcr to Insure
fairness and to prevent snap judgmor.t
ocliig taken, that a time limit for tho
tiling of primary tickets snnll be placed.
To cover this point It has been suggested
thut all persons desiring to place a ticket
In tbo Mold In any precinct shnll make
declaration of the nninu by tiling a cony
of his delegation with the secretary of the
committee, who shnll have an otllcc open
for that purpose tho dny before the pri
maries, which will bo Tuesday.

excessive hot spell which bad been con
tinuous slnco July 1, when the last rain

a fair average. Early planted corn shows
tho effect of the Intenso heat of the past
four weeks and white the stalk looks
hearty the pollen has been burnt up and the

amounts to little. The rnln will give a full
Into crop of corn and mny possibly benefit

some of the corn Is broken down. In fnct,
tho dry weather hns done less damage than

Great consternation was felt by tho
trlonds of M. A. Hognrty of Lexington, Ky.,
when they saw ho was turning yellow. His
skin slowly changed color, also his eyes,
and ho suffered terribly. His mulady was
yellow Jaundice. Ho was treated by tho
best doctors, but without benefit. Then ho
was advised to try Electric Bitters, tho
wonderful stomach and liver remedy, and
he writes: "After taking two bottles I
was wholly cured." A trial proves Its
matchless merit for all stomach, liver and
kidney troubles. Only 50c. Sold by Kuhn

do any good because they do not reach tho

Peruna at onco mitigates nil theso symp

Systemic cntarrh Is the trouble. Sys

This Is exactly what Peruna will do.
