Eight Charges Fired.
Eight explosions in rapid success

By the time the villagers arrived

with J. A. Sasser, of Atlanta, an
official Of the Bankers Trust Com

"All of the valuable papers were
left behind" said Mr.. Sasser. Mr..
Mccoy gave me assurance that the
only loss would be in the compare
lively small amount of money that
WAS taken. That was fully insured.
The posse is close on the trail of
the craftsmen. I am expecting to
hear any minute that they have been
captured"

Al least four men were in the gang

roofing and wire they fred at the first

A bottle of nitroglycerin and few

mile and a half from town.

WHY BRIGHT'S is
THOUGHT MGURABL E

Bright's disease is generally thought
incurable. and largely because Digi-
tails and Basham's mixture do not
cure it. And why should they? One
is for. the heart and the other Is a
mild iron tonic The reason nothing
Is given for the kidneys Is that the
pharmacopaea has not contained an
agent that by direct action on the kid
neys diminishes albumenuria. Hence
the treatment is around the disease in
stead Of at it.
Given an agent that diminishes al
bumenuria. then measures for the
waning heart, ETC., begin to mean
something. The ability of Fulton's
Renal Compound to diminish albumen-
urfa in many cases of Bright's Disease
is A FACT IN PHYSICS established
thousands of times and being con-
stantly demonstrated. How can any
one ignore FACT IN PHYSICS when
people are dying for lack Of that very
fact. 1t does not conflict, and cannot
be added to the heart treatment, ETC.,
commonly prescribed in Bright's Dis
ease. But many recoveries have been
reported under the Renal Compound
unaided in patients having fair hearts
and recuperative power. John J. Full

OUR HIGHWAYS

Attention is being directed to the
 various ways, principally in the
 orm ofssigns on trees and the larger
 he tree the more they are used for
 lacards.. Here in Connecticut there
 las been a great deal of discussion of
 he highways and it is only a step
 rom that to those things which are
 sed by way of advertisements and
 which have become offensive to the
 ye of the lover of rural beauty. The
 pads of this state have been much
 improved since they came under the
 harge of the state highway depart mt andkwhile there was a time when he repair feature was neglected it
 notorist, his family and friends de- i've much pleasure from the trips
 through the state, the roads being filed and free from dust. It is the host natural thing in the world that hey should become a bit particular l nd note with care and interest these lisfigurements which mar the beauty If the average country highway.
 Motorists in other countries go into Ecstasies over the beauty of the road Tides with their flowers and hedges, he r1eatness of the highways them belves and the scenery increased in beauty by the green fields and cattle krazing, yet there is no place where he beauty is any greater than right AereAin our own, state where the high kays thave been improved, where the homesN of the farmers have under sone a, pleasant change in appear Ill their splendor. This question of highway improvement has been Eostly one for Connecticut, but evil fence continues to multiply that it has been worth all it cost and that hose whose mean permits them to Travel from town to town in automO- piles or carriages are becoming cog |fizant of that fact. These roadways offer an opportunity for pleasant bay for the hiker who likes to walk bf which too little is done, and who han find health and pleasant retrea- Hon from the duties incident to the haily effort to obtain a livelihood.

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.

News comes from Montclair N. J., Declared for Sunday baseball and other similar, sports. as we'll as band foncerts. The New York Tribune
 n commenting on this situation says That church members of wealth and social standing are not interfered with |f they playi golf or tennis or go au-
 forbidden. although Sunday is the Rnly day intthe week when the young
 nen have chance to play There
 5 no denying this statement, but up
 o date it has failed to make any Converts among those elected to the
 legislatures which alone have the bower to amend the laws. There is, however, a remarkable change in public sentiment on this matter and |t is not unreasonable to assume that l n the near future there will be some tangible evidence of progress towards l he modern Sunday observance
 Churches have always been inclined to think that any latitude allowed bn Sunday would affect the atten- lance at religious services when in +eality 1t would have no bearing on f whatever. Ball games are usually
 nlaved in the afternoon while ser I;ces are held in the morning and Abere is nothing in the former that Iuo,1ld conflict with the other. It no injustice to any one to say that he greater part of the opposition to Eunday sports is due to prejudice. Frhere are some people who regard Indulgence in anything except re- hir;ol1s works on Sunday as an in- Eention of the devil which should be drowned upon as matter of justice to the cause of, religion. This feel ling. however strong it may have been and still is, must give way to line modern idea of Sunday which does |not lessen religious fervor but does recognize the need of recreation for those who toll all week and need |sornething else to break the monot- |onv of the all work and no play pro- gram. The idea is expanding and
 something more may be heard from
 it within the coming year.

,, Speaking of the police departm ent commodations at the police station. The place has been overcrowded for years, but since the new additions were made to the force the officers really haven't room for closets for their clothes. All things considered the conditions" are almost as bad as they were when the department was located across the street in an old building which had become a sort of eye sore and when on one occasion the roof took fire and the firemen were extinguishing the flames the men who had gathered as they do at every fire shouted: Let it burn" That seemed to be the sentiment of the entire assemblage. build ing is certainly unsuitable when the owners want to see it destroyed. There is no such feeling towards the present city building on Commercial street, but there is a feeling that it should be turned over to the fire de- partment and the police provided with headquarters in a building by itself where there would be ample ac- . it would not be necessary to take recess every time a freight train passes or a truck is driven by on the street as Is the case now. It took the city long time to obtain the present building and 1t would not have provided it even when it did were it not for the fact that it had sold the old structure and was or dered to vacate it. It really sold the roof over its head, and yet 1t would probably have remained tenant ever since and paid rent if allowed to do so. It may be the same now, not perhaps in selling out but in dilatoriness of action in not keeping abreast of the times, in not providing adequate accommodations for the departments it maintains by way of protection for itself and its inha abitants New Britain has been slow to realize that it is growing, and that when the present police and fire department headquarters were estab
 lished the population was not much more than one-half of it's present number. Considerable money, how ever, has been expended on these two departments during the past few years and more is still being expend- ed, but this money is being wisely spent and furthermore the expendi- ture, is necessary to give the protec- ton that New Britain demands and which it's people are entitled to. The principal complaint now is the lack of accomm odations and the point has been reached when the city must soon provide building for the police department and leave the present building to the firemen. They need it; the location is satisfactory and the added room the police headquar- ters would give could be used to ad- vantage.

Information Wanted.

Editor Herald:
 Could we not get some information from those people who have been op- erating filter beds for about fifty years, or more, with profit?
 Berlin, Germany, with several mill lions of people and thousands of man. ufacturing companies, has about six, or more, sewer beds located from ten to thirty miles around the city. Some years ago, while visiting that city, I was invited to take part in a hunting trip on those beds. l tramped all over the fields, and will state that I hardly noticed any odor, but I did see the best vegetables and grains of all kinds; even the roads and drives were planted with trees loaded with fruit I was told by those in charge of the plant that the city is making money every year.
 A we'll directed letter to the proper authorities would perhaps give good informa tion without cost to our city.

COMMUNICATED.
Dancing Suggested for Walnut Hill
 Park

Editor Herald:-
 During the band concert at Walnut Hill Park the other evening, which attracted many hundreds of people to the western slopes of the dill, a number Of children, inspired by the music and too young to be self-con- scious, came forth from the crowd and played and frolicked in the open space inside the row of seats nearest to the bandstand.
 Here, 1t would seem, the way to very comprehensive field touching many questions of social health in the municipality is indicated; field that has not been touched in New Britain, though a recognized factor in most "city beautiful movements. The merely casual observer often has it brought to his attention that there are in this. as in every city, many young people of the impressionable age be- tween IS and 22, who, merely because their natures crave amusement, are treading paths of doubtful morality as to the present and questionable good citizenship as to the future. On the other hand, here is the park, with several acres of lawns and a band stand. Bring the two together. Cut the grass little shorter, string cleo ltric lights between the trees. engage a band for one or two nights week, and let the city's boys and girls who toll amuse themselves, under proper su- pervision, by dancing. On other nights let there be athletic games, speeches perhaps, choral singing, anything, in fact, that would hold the interest of those who must labor all day in the factories, in a wholesome way, that would tend to unify the city's popula- ton. and Americanize our great leaven from the old world.
 Much has been said about the use of the school houses as social centers during the winter season to cure some of the sociological evils communities are heir to. Why not increase the efficiency of the park system by util- izing it for a similar purpose through the warm months?

delegates will probably favor the
 nomination of Senator Landers for governor should he be candidate.
 The feeling in the southern part of the state is that he will be the nomi- nee. New Britain never had a can- didate. for governor before, though it
 has been favored with second place on the state ticket, which, by the way. was not successful at the polls. There
 does not seem to be any question about MT. Cham berlain's nomination.
 So far he has no opponent, and while
 it is possible that some one may loom up for the place, it is not expected that he will present any formidable opposition to MT. Cham berlain. It would be quite an honor to have two
 New Britain men holding state of fees at the same time; men who have long been friends and political asso- ciates. If MT. Landers is the next governor and MT. Chamberlain the next treasurer it may be put down as absolutely certain that there will be a new method of handling state finances after this year and there will be no doubt as to what the income and what the fixed charges against the state are when the legislature be- gins business. MT. Landers has made no statement as yet as to whether or not he proposes to run, but he will probably take the New Britain demo- crats into his confidence before the primaries are held It does not seem as if there will be any contests on either side. If New Britain obtains recognition at the state convention it will be because it Is good political judgment and because it's own forces are united. Both parties have suf- fered from dissension in years past; they presumably have not forgotten it and do not propose to have it occur again, especially when recognition is so near at hand. There will not be much doing in regard to legislative candidates until long after the state conventions are held. There are no democratic candidates in sight, while the republicans may have to pass on the candidates of the gentlemen who were elected representatives two years ago, both of whom are said to be de- sirous of running for the senate, and Joseph Towers, who was the unsuc- cessful candidate against George M. Landers at the same election. MT. Towers Is quite prominent in local re- publican circles at present.
