. Oil Inspection Pays.'
The biennial report of Edward. A-'jChurch,
state Inspector of oils, filed with Governor
Mickey today, shows that thla department
has been a pretty good Investment for the
state. During the time he nas been In office
Mr. Church has turned Into the state treas
ury $16,520.18. He and his deputies have In
spected 389,644 barrels of oil and gasoline,
for which a total of 138,954.40 was charged.
The total expenses Incurred amounted to
! t?5 OOT S7. Mr. Church still has on hand In
cash 4X6. For a portion of the past blen
nium Ed Hayes was oil Inspector and he
turned Into the treasury tl.144.42. making a
total of H7.664.S0 that has been reallxrd for
the state during the two years. In his re
port Mr. Church says:
During the last year and a half there hna
been sailed to the state of Nebrska two
Independent oil companies. The Mutual OH
TsnK Line company of Omaha and Mar
shall OH company of Lincoln. Koth of
these companies are Independent from any
other oil companies and stiff competition
hns brought the standard of oil up to a very
much belter grade. There has not been a
single complaint of bad oil In the last six
months, while on the. other hand there had
been previously complaints from all sources.
I sincerely belspve the state of Nebraska
today has the most perfect inspection 'w
of any state In the union, and I cannot
close without some compliment to my valu
able assistants, thp deputies, who are
thoroughly reliable gentlemen, sober and
Indiistrion's and anxious that the state In
spection be thoroughly done. ' -
Through the present svstem. with reliable
deputies, we are able to know at snv time,
what the grade of oil Is that Is being sold
In any part of the slate.
There have been a few accidents bv ex
plosion, and T have Investigated and And In
every case that they were due to csrciei
res by the parties themselves In handling
the oil.
Preacher In a Qnandary.
The reputation rr Rev. Ludden as a
Story teller has overreached the confines
of Nebraska and has broken Into Penn
sylvania Some weeks ago Mr. Ludden
delivered an address In Atkinson, Kan..
at a college, and In his address he told
a story Illustrating some point. The title
of this story was "Tou Are It." This
morning Mr. Ludden received a letter from
an eastern publication asking -that - the
story be sent, to It for publication If It
were hot copyrighted and promising , the
preacher man that It would not be sent
as far west as Nebraska, and consequently
would not Interfere with him using the
same story again. ' The funny part about
It Is that Mr. Ludden has a number of
stories that he tells under the title of
"Tou Are It," and he doesn't know which
one the eastern publication wants. An
other thing that bothers him Is that Su
perintendent McBrlen told the same stories
during the campaign, and he Is afraid
that McBrlen might have the copyright
on the sory.
IVo Christmas Appointments.
The rumor going the rounds of the state
house that Governor Mickey Intended to
present certificates of appointment to
those people he intends to appoint or re
appoint for a Christmas present will not
materialize unless the governor changes his
mind. This morning he said he thought
he would not make any appointments be
fore Christmas, and that as a matter of
fact he was not worrying about his ap
pointments as much as he did two years
ago. He knows the works of his old ap
pointees, and will be able to act on these
without asking for recommendations. It
Is generally believed that all of the heads
of state institutions will remain, as the
reports that have been sent In for' the
blennlum show up well.
Normal Board Meets.
The State Normal board met this aft
ernoon with Superintendent-elect McBrlen
as a special guest In order that he might
