Tho health authorities aro becoming Borne-
vrhat alarmed over tba number of cases ot
ncarlet fovor reported among children at

one of tho children reported sick with tho

requires that all cases ot Infectious dls
raso must be reported to tho Hoard of

City Physician Jennings, who has given
the matter his attention, Is not Inclined to
bollovo that any of the cases reported within
tho last fow days aro caused by exposuro at
the Washington Avenue school, but has tho
junlter still under Investigation.
Tho cascH reported show that the dlseaso
Is not confined to any particular Bcction o
the city. The city marshal nnd his deputies
have been Instructed to nee that the quar
ntlno regulations nro strictly enforced In
every Instanco, as tho authorities nro do
tennlned to uso every effort to prevent any
epidemic of tho scarlet fever as far as it

closo of the inspection Colonol Olmstead
and Major Rule held a nhort school of
Instruction for tho non-commissioned

which shows that tho men tnko nn Inter

D1IS MOINES, Oct. 20. (Special Tote-
gram.) Tho Dnnkcrs' Mutual cusiiauy
company of thlo city lias recently mado
nn Investigation of tho causes of so inauy
bank robberies In tho last few months. At
the present rato bank robberlca of this
year will malto tho losses of tho casually
companion five times ns heavy ns In any
previous year. Tho results of the Investi
gation by tho Hankers' Casualty company
hero reveal some peculiar facts. Moat of
tho robberies aro mado not by experts, hut
by common hoboes. Hanks In smalt towns
aro Invariably the victims nnd safes uro
blown open by nltro-glyccrlne. it appears
from tho Investigation conducted by Pluk
crton detectives that a lnrgo percentage
of tho tramps aro currying nltro-glyccrlne.
Thoso who havo bcon takeu In custody In
mony cities ot the middlo west, among
them Minneapolis, St. Paul, Kansas City
and other towns of less size, aro almost In
variably found to havo nltro-glyccrlno on
their persons In considerable quantities. It
has been found that most of Hicbo worKCd
on the Chicago drainage canal, whero lnrgo
quantities of nltro-glycerlno wero used.
Practically nil of tho employes becumo ia-
miliar with Its uso and since that work Is
completed many of them have taken to
tho road und used tho knowiedgo they navo
acquired In cracking safcu In small villages,
where old-fashluned safcB wore used. Ad
ditional proof Is cstubllBhed by the fact
that of nineteen convictions for bank rob
bery secured by tho Hnukerfl' Casualty
company Bovontcen havo been ordinary
bums.
In tho case of tho estnto of Frank S.
Law ngalnst Frank Stnrzlngor tho supremo
court affirmed the decision, dismissing the
action, which was for $5,000 damages. It
was alleged by A. F. lllssell, administrator
of tho iBtate, that Law drank himself to
death. Tho action was brought on the
theory that tho liquor seller wns responsl-
bio for tho death. It wns proved that
death did not result from liquor, but the
courts hold that Law must havo consented
to taking tho liquor.
