Lnicoln, July 21.—(Special.)—The fargest consolidation scheme which has been proposed under the program inaugurated by State Superintendent Thomas, is before the people of Otoe county surrounding the little town of Douglas in that county. It covers the consolidation of eight districts having about 350 pupils. The combined districts have a valuation of $510,000, and on a 12- mill tax, would bring in a revenue of $7,500 to the district. The state su- perintendent figures that the run- ning expenses of the district would be about $7,400. The districts are now at an annual expense of $8,987, Should the scheme be favored at the coming election, an up-to-date school building will be erected in Douglas sufficiently large to take care of the needs of the district and four transports will be required to bring the’ children in, the child the farthest away traveling a distance of six_miles: The state superintendent figures that the consolidations would save the districts about $2,000 annually after evety expense 18 paid, includ- ing transporting the children, Sloan’s Bill Fixes Guard Enlistment At Unexpired Time (From a Statf Correspondent.) Washington, July 21, — (Special Telegram.) — Representative Sloan introduced a bill today fixing the service of national guardsmen as the unexpired portion of the period they had enlisted in the Guard. Mr. Sloan has been in correspondence with a number of the leading officers of the Nebraska Ntaional Guard, and through this correspondence he has learned that these officers are will- ing to chaage their service to the United States, but are unwilling ‘to extend the period of service for which they enlisted to the period re- #quired from the new army bill. In other’ words they want to have the periods of enlistment in the Guard count 25 their service in the regular army. Too Little Money Provided for the Printing Board| (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, July 21.—(Special.)—More evidence. of the inability of the last democratic legislature properly to look after the interests of the state is being shown as the time draws near for sending out proposed amendments to the constitution for the edification of the voters. The legislature tmade the appro- %n_ati_on to be used by the State rinting board $28,700, placing in the hands of the board the outhority to contract for all printing of every nature formerly done by the differ- ent departments themselves. It “also cut the appropriation for sending out the intiatiive and referendum propo- sitions from $5,000 ta $3,000. 'lphe labor of getting out the pamphlets will alone run up to over $1,000 easily, while the postage on the same to the 255,000 ovters in the state will amount to $2,550 on a 1-cent postage. Two years ago Secretary Addison Wait let the contract for directing and stuffing the envelopes at a low figure. The legislature then appro- priated $5,000 for the ‘work and it cost about $4,200 to get them out: John H. Harley of Lincoln Dies at Rochester Hospital Lincoln, Neb., July 21.—News was received here tonight of the death at Rochester, Minn., today of John H. arley, secretary of the Bankers' Life Insurance company of Lincoln.

He was one of the pioneer mer:{anu of Lincoln, rostmaster during the second Cleve- and administration, and one of the rominent democrats of southeastern ebraska. INFERIOR GASOLINE SOLD AT STATIONS State Inspector of Oils Finds Omaha Dealers Do Not Comply With Law. MOST COMES FROM COAST (From a Staft Correspondent.) Lincoln, July 21.—(Special.)—Many gasoline filling stations in Omaha have been putting out an inferior grade of gasoline and otherwise breaking the law by neglecting to dis- play at the stations where oil is sold a statement showing the gravity test of the oil, according to State Qil In- spector Harman, who issued a state- ment this morning saying that he would begin prosecution of all han- dlers of gasoline in Omaha Monday, who are found not complying with the law. According to the oil inspector, there is no specified test which gaso- line should show, but dealers must give such a showing publicly that will indicate to those buying the grade of oil they are getting. One dealer in Omaha was selling oil which tested 62 degrees, another dealer 58, another 59 ,and still another as low as 52. One refused to give the test but a test showed 5815 degrees. An inspector of the department re- ported that three cars of gasoline had been shipped into the Nebraska me- tropolis from California, one testing 51 degrees, another 48%, and the other a little over 49. Oil Comntis- sioner Harmon holds this to be nap- tha and is being mixed with a good grade of gasoline and sold for 20 cents S ——— e Orchard & Wilhelm Company 414-416-418 South 16th Street.
