CREEN TRADING STAMPS ARE QUITE A CURRENCY!
A currency In the sense of securing for you valuable premiums you cnulrtn't gpcure other
wise thnn with considerable, com. Those premiums keep whole factories going In the turn
ing of them out, and an enormous trlng of freight cars running In the transportation of
them. These two facts strike us as being of some account In American commerce, and you
rr-an a rousing advantage tiecause thewv proniiu.il so produced are the mere enhnncinl In
their value nnd the verities are endless. The number of hows In Oman that show "sam-pli-s
of Oreen Trailing St imp Premium" are COUXTAHLK by the thousand. Are vou
among the number? The Little Green Sticker costs you nothing, and you might as well
have It us not!

(From a Staft Correspondent-)
LINCOLN. Oct. 29.-3peclal.)-A fdi'r'l'
tlon of the Nebraska state penltcntiury
Just st this time couM well be tecured by
clipping from the advertisement of a sum
mer resort. The extrnvagam-e of a sum
mer resort snnouncemrnt would not do
mora than Justice, to Its clean rooms, Its
parked walks. Its green house, its com
modious chapel, Its clenn kitchen. Its Im
maculate dinlnc room, its broad seres
tilled by well fed and well groomed ion
vlcts, its good water, its splendid loca
tion and the purs sir that circulates
through every well ventilated cell.
The man who fractures the laws of man
could find no more ideal place In which
to make reparation end In which to while
sway the tedious hours. In fact, a true
description of the penitentiary snd Its
splendid management would almost be an
Invitation for men to become criminals.
Men who doffed the livery of a convict
two years euro, returning, would not now
recognize the old place. The old engine
that for so many months occupied the
"principal part of a scrap pile out in the
yard and which was branded "old iron"
Is now doing yeoman duty In running the
dynumoes thct furnish the electric lights
for tho buildings and power for the ma
chinery. The old belts and shaftings that
us?d to dlsllgure the prison yard, a menace
to life und good appearance, are gone
forever. , Instead, one can And on Investi
gation a wire here and there carrying
the power from the engine room to all
parts of the buildings. In only ons por
tion of the building Is steam used, and that
la in the room next to the engine. All
of the machinery In the great machine
sliopa, In the broom manufactory and. In
the "otTtW-flcpgrtments where there is ma
chinery, electricity ' lhe-v power. The
atnte no longer has to pay to the trsrtjon
company of the city of Lincoln tribute
every year for Its lights at the prison,
for that, too, is manufactured In the build
ing and it is dona st a cost less than half
what the tructlon company use to receive
for It.
Better Water and I'lenty of It.
Tli latter day convict also has It ovsr
his old- time brother In the water that is
furnlvhed him. Two years ago the peni
tentiary boasted of a board lined well
that could be pumped dry In twenty min
utes, even on a rainy day. A new well
bus been wink snd the prisoners get a
quality of water that should make them
tetotalers the rest of their born days. An
entire new system of water works hss been
instituted and with it a Are department
has bees Installed that Is capable of put
ting out any blaze that might get started,
no matter how badly the records got
mixed up.
The fire apparatus consists of plenty of
hose and a hose wsgon and to the depart
ment belong about fourteen men trained
by the engineer to a high degree of effi
ciency. In fact, a comparison of the state prison
now with what it was two years ago would
only tend to make the old-time convict
envious that he got out too quick. Ever
since A. D. Beemer became Its warder,
every day has told of soma Improvement
made; a betterment of the condition of the
unfortunates, better discipline, one step
nearer the ideal. If there is such a thing
as an Ideal penitentiary- And while these
permanent Improvements have cost tha
state something, much has been saved the
state. Old machinery that had been cast
aside as worthless as a result of the
Mrs, has been dug out of the ruins and
la now doing what new machinery would
be doing. To tell of all the Improve
ments that have been made under the
managument of Mr. Beemer would be to
go through in detail every department of
the prison, for not one single department
has he overlooked. Every one has been
overhsuled.
Treated as Hasan a Beings.
But In making the penitentiary sanitary
and in making it a real penitentiary, Mr.
Beemer has not overlooked tha man under
his charge. He rooks on a convict as a
human and not a convict has come out of
the penitentiary so far as heard from who
has had a word to say against his treat
ment by the warden. That the convict
may not have ble pride broken any more
than can be helped Mr. Beemer has Inau
gurated a system that is proving a success.
Gradually he Is doing away , with the
stripes. Under the rule , be has promul
gated It is the fault of the convict If he
Is seen with stripes on after having been
in prison for six months. When a prisoner
haa conducted himself according to the
rule of the prison and has shown that he
still has some of the sparks of manhood
In his system, he Is allowed to discard his
stripes and don a suit of blue. Blnce this
system was started It haa been the ambi
tion of a majority of the men to secure
enough credit marks to get tha new uni
forms. In tha prison today the stripes are
the exception rather than the rule.
With this cleaning up of tha men came
a general shaking up of the dining room
and kitcheo. The cooking is done In a
room apart from the prison proper, and the
food Is carried into the dining room
through a tunnel which connects the two.
In this dining room, spotleanly clean, there
Is as little odor of cooking as there Is
found In any well regulated hotel dining
room. The floor shines and glistens, so
clean is It. Vhe old-time convict coming
back would find nice folding chairs, an In
vention or a auggvatlon of the warden, in
place of the old-time hardwood bencbee
that ha used to occupy, from tha large
bakery comes a most appetizing odor, and
the bread that is turned out is as good as
anyone could get anywhere. Only experi
enced bakers are employed, and this la not
saying that many experienced bakers have
been sent to the penitentiary, but that
probably some of them have had plenty of
time in which to learn after becoming &
resident of Lancaster.
Sleeping Quarters Improved.
The sleeping apartments of the prisoners
are said by men who have tried them to be
superior to many of the hotels In Lincoln.
This because hey ara absolutely free from
outside interference in so far as burglars
are concerned. The new steel cells have
filled a long felt want and they have been
a great aid to Warden Beemer in eetab
Ushing discipline. When Oovernor Mickey
reached out into the state and instated that
Warden Beemer again take charge of the
state's prison the prisoners were huddled
together much on the order of the machin
ery that was heaped In tine prison yard.
Uprisings and threats of mutiny were of
frequent occurrence. Mr. Beemer ham-i
mered the legislature until ha secured an
appropriation to buy those cells, and no
legislator need feel ashamed that he voted
for that bill. With one lever every cell can
be locked or unlocked, or any particular
cell can be locked or unlocked. Each cell
Is well ventilated, and from a sanitary
standpoint it is ideal.
The women's department Is one in which
Warden Beemer and Mrs. Beemer have
taken especial palusL The rooms of the
various female prisoners open into one
large room and in this the unfortunates
secure all the oomforts that It is possible
for them to have. They do their own wash
ing and ironing; their own cooking and
spend their time in sewing and mending
and making new clothes. In fact the de
partment affords more real comforts than
many of the female convicts over enjoyed
before.
Off the main penitentiary building is the
hospital building, probably the -least used
of any on the grounds. The good sanitary
conditions of all the buldings and the care
the prisoners are compelled to use In look
ing after themselves makes sickness a rara
thing among the convicts. But the hospi
tal is there and ready for use at any time.
Beaatlfylng (be Gronnde.
Warden Beemer has devoted much time
to the making of walks In the prison yard
and to beautifying the prison grounds. lie
has mada many flower beds and beautiful
little parka, which give the prisoner a
splendid Impression upon his first visit to
Lancaster. All the work is dons by con
victs and everything Is done according to
a system and everything moves along like
clock work. Borne day, and may be at no
distant day, some other Improvements will
be made at the penitentiary. One of ttveae
Improvements will be the doing away with
the lock step. The other will be the start
ing of a school in the prison walla War
den Beemer has a well regulated Institution
and ovary convict thai should be proud

QUESTIONABLE M)TES IN RUSSIA
Extraordinary Increnso In Passt
Money Causes Much Comment
la Business Circles. -
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 29. (Special
Cablegram to The Bee.) With regard to
the extraordinary increase of paper money
in circulation the following Incident Is
significant. A business man this week
went to the Samara branch of the Imperial
bank to draw a considerable sum of money.
The officials wished to "fay a large part of
It In (-rouble notes, but he refused to take
them and asked for go!). He was Informed
that there was not enough gold In hand for
the moment. lie then proceeded to ex
amine the notes, and although they all bore
the date 1M8 a great many of them were
signed, not by M. de Tleske, who was
steward of the treasury at that time, but
by M. de Tlmashoff, who was only ap
pointed some years later. The bank offi
cials to convince htm of the regularity of
the proceeding, showed him the stacks of
psper money which they had In stock. As
a compromise he u greed to accept payment
In that form, but Insisted on their sorting
out only those notes hearing M. de I'leske's
signature. The othTrs, he declared, must
bs the forgeries ismied by the Japanese In
Manchuria to bring discredit on 'Russia,
about which the Russian papers have writ
ten so much lately.
At the Nljnl Novgorod branch of the Im
perial bank notes have actually bees is
sued bearing the official cancelling mark.
