Between
Ourselves

Have you visited the Bamber-
ger rest room on the third floor?
AS one enthusiastic woman
declared yesterday, 1t is a Won
der that the people of Newark
have ever been able to get along
without such a room.
The retiring room in the old
store was regarded as a model
Of luxury and comfort, but it
could not compare with the
great, light, airy section which
we have set aside in the new
store for the comfort Of our Wis
itors.
The Bamberger "CREEN
ROOM" is one Of the beauty
spots of the greater store. Here
YOU will And great easy chairs
and divans; great literary tables
where one may read, and cozy
little desks where n may
write.
The GREEN ROOM Is for
YOUR comfort and convenience.
We want you to use it freely.

WILL HURRY DYNAMITE CASES
Government Officials Plan for QUICK
Trial If Pleas of Not Guilty
Are Entered.

indianapolis, Ind.-Tentative plans
for the trials of the 40 or more men
indicted for alleged completely in the
dynamite conspiracy in case pleas OF
not guilty are made are being dis
cussed by government officials.
1t is the purpose to delay the cases
as little as possible. After the ar
raignment before Judge A. B. Ander'
son here, March IL, the trials prob
ably will be set for hearing some
time in May, with view of dispos'
ing of them before the summer Is
over. The district attorney, Charles
w. Miller, who has charge of all the
capiases and certified copies OF IN
dictments to be served on the defend
ants, was still reticent as to the ex-
act day fixed for the arrests, although
it was believed the plan was to have
all the men in custody next week.

NATURAL GAS PRICE STAYS DOWN
Kansas Wins Fight Against Trust and
Rate is to Remain at Twenty
Five Cents.

Topeka. Kansas.-The suits of the
state against the Kansas Natural Gas
company, involving an injunction to
prevent an increase in the price OF
natural gas and prosecutions Of vio-
lations of the Kansas antitrust law
to collect penalties aggregating more
than s50O,00 have been settled. The
papers in the settlement will be sign
ed the last of the week. They are all
ready now and simply await the re-
turn of Gov. Stubs.
John Marshall, attorney for the
utilities commission, who brought the
Injunction suit to prevent the increase
in gas rates, and John Dawson, attor-
ney general, who brought the custer
and penalty suits, and the attorneys
for the company have agreed on the
detailed settlement and the amounts
to be paid in penalties.
There is never to be an increase in
the price of natural gas in Kansas.
1t will always remain at 20 cents
thousand cubic feet for domestic use.
The Kansas Natural also agrees to
make new contracts with the dis
tributing companies, so that the anti
trust laws will not be violated. 1t
is asserted the penalties the company
must pay will aggregate $4,000 and
will be distributed in eight counties
Of the state.

GAME WARDEN TOO INDUSTRIOUS
Kansas Officer Who Robbed House In
Raid Gets lndeterminate Term
in Penitentiary.

Pittsburg, Kan.-The holding OF a
state office proved too great tempta-
ton to Dencil W. Jones, recently
state deputy game warden. Jones
was convicted of robbery in the first
degree in the district court and re-
ceived an indeterminate sentence OF
from 10 to 20 years.
While discharging the duties of his
position last fall, Jones decided that
he could just as well enforce the pro-
hibitory laws in Crawford county as
the game laws. SO he went to the
home of two sisters, whose husbands
are miners, and were away at work.
He announced that he was there to
see if they were running a joint.
Jones searched the house and took
money and other articles, among them
a few bottles of grape juice. The
women made complaint and prose-
cuted him.

KANSAS ISSUES AN ALMANAC
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH SENDS
OUT USEFUL INFORMATION.
New Booklet Looks Like Patent Medi-
cine Circular, But Contents
Are Much Different.

Topeka. Kansas.-A Kansas health
almanac, gotten up in the style OF
patent medicine almanacs and con-
tanning much valuable and useful in
formation for the Improvement of the
health of Kansas people has just been
issued by the state board OF health.
1t takes the place of the February
bulletin of the board.
The almanac has all the features
of the fake medicine almanac, includ-
ing the changes of the moon, eclipses
and the signs of the zodiac and the
chronological eras and cycles, but in
stead of testimonials on the merits
of DR.. Punk's pink pills for pie eaters
the Kansas health almanac gives in
formation and advice for the preserva-
ton of health.
incidentally, the Kansas almanac
says, avoid patent medicines as you
would a pestilence"
The medicine almanacs list the
days of the month and the days OF
the week, then have some important
historical date in the third column
and then give the rising and setting
time for the sun and moon. The
Kansas health almanac does this, but
the historical dates are those of HAN
sas affairs, and instead of testimonials
some disease and the remedies for 1t
are discussed. Below the calendar
appears terse epigrams about dis
eases.
The Kansas health almanac takes
up smallpox, pneumonia, measles,
whooping cough, infantile diseases,
flies and mosquitoes, typhoid fever,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, colds and in
fuenza, tuberculosis. This almanac
discusses each of these maladies, what
causes them and how to prevent, how
to stop the spread and how to cure
them.

Offices.

Burton, Kansas.-The Taxpayers
Protective association, an order cal

farmers of Harvey and Reno counties
The object is to reduce taxes and to
abolish some of the state and county
officers and reduce the salaries paid
most of the others. Associations will
be formed this week in several other
adjoining townships.
1t was in Burton that the first
state headquarters of the Farmers
Alliance was established and farmers
are pointing to that fact as indicat-
ing that the association will become
an equally strong power in the state,
