REPORT OF STATE OIL INSPECTOR.

State Oil Inspector Mr.. A H Carpenter
Yesterday mailed Governor Humphrey his
annual report, it being the first made in
that office. Aside from financial state
ment it is as follows:
To His Excellency L. L. Humphrey Governor OF
the state Of Kansas
Sir-In compliance with the law govern
ing the inspection Of Illuminating oils
have the honor to herewith submit the
first report, covering the period from June
|. 1889. to December 81, 1889.
The first law governing the inspection
in the state of Kansas WAS enacted by the
legislature during its session of 1889, and
took effect upon its publication in the
statutes. which was May %, 1889, upon
which day | was appointed state oil In
spector.
| Immediately ordered the necessary in
struments for inspection, and appointed
the following named gentlemen as depu
ties: K. H. George, OF Fort scott. L. j.
HAYES. of Louisville: B. ;. Hutchius, OF
Kineman. and Murray Myers, of Wichita
Messrs. George and Hayes declined the sp-
pointments, on account OF more lucrative
positions.
Since then l have appointed the follow
ing additional deputies: T. L. Murphy,
Woodland, of Fort Scott, on November Is,
1889; B. l.. Stine, OF Armourdale, no
Decembe n. 1889. This makes the full
quota as by law provided,
No violations of the law having been
discovered By my deputies, or myself, am
pleased to inform you. that l have every
reason TO believe its provisions are being
faithfully complied with, by both the oil
companies and retailers within the state.
This being the first oil inspection law,
enacted in the state, its provisions cannot
be expected TO meet all the requirements
as time and experience will demonstrate
In the short period Of its exlstance, i
have discovered many Inconsistencies that
at the time OF its. enactment il was i'm
possible TO have foreseen, but which / shall
ask the next legislature 10 remedy. And
as the law requires me 10 make another re-
port before the next legislature couvenes,
and as 1t will add one year more OF eX-
perience, l refrain in this report from max
ing any recommendations IN the present
law, notwithstanding its urgency, no
remedy is available aside from the law
making power. Respectfully submitted,

in like business in Wichita, where it IS TO
be hoped he will build up a large and re-
munerative trade. The people OF that city
will find Mr.. Fletcher TO be thorough
business man, and one who will always
have on his shelves the latest and most
popular novelties in his line. He can also
be depended up to deal fairly and squarely
with all his customers. The society peo-
pie of Ashland will regret the removal OF
Mr. and Mrs Fletcher from their midst
Mrs Fletcher has, ever since her residence
here. been foremost in all good works of
charity, and occupied a position IN musical
circles which it Will be hard TO fill. Their
residence has been the scene of many
pleasant gatherings aud AN invitation
thereto was a guarantee OF royal good
time The people of Wichita will by their
accession, add one more to its galaxy or

more to its long list of energetic and use
