Dr. Spauldlng haa Issued the following word of caution: The recent rases of trichinosis, occurring In this state at Hustings and Fremont em phasise the fact that pork eaten raw. or even not thoroughly cooked. Is dangerous to life. No law could be panned by the legislature that would compel a bacteriological exam ination of every carcaxa that was killed for home consumption, and it Is only In thla way the trichina can be. discovered and the meat products condemned. For thla reason we must depend upon the press of the atate to make known to the people In the most public way the danger thnre Is In eating raw nork.

CENTRAL CITT, Neb., Feb. 19. (Spe-claLv-An unsuccessful attempt was made to rob the Farmers State bank at an early hour this morning. About 1:15 the night watchman was held up by two masked men a block distant from the bank. He was told to come with them and make no disturbance and they would 'not harm him. Arriving at the bank, the door of which had been previously opened by other members of the gang, the watchman was taken to the bank parlor, blindfolded and securely bound, hands and feet, to a chair. The robbers then pro ceeded to gain entrance to the vault with a sledge hammer and they knocked the dial off the door. , The bank Is protected by an American bank protection burglar alarm. When the dial was broken connection was made and the alarms turned loose. The burglars lost no time In getting away. There were four In the party. They ato'e a handcar and headed for Grand Island. Near Chapman the car was ditched. The alarm aroused parties sleeping near the bank, who got busy wtth the telephone. When the bank officials arrived they found the night watchman securely bound. The burglars' departure was so sudden that they left their tools. Evidently the burglars were not aware of the fact that the bank was provided wtth a burglar alarm or they expected to cut the connections, Tha Knights of Pythias were celebrating their anniversary but three doors away and had left their hall lesa than thirty minutes before the attempted burglary. In fact, the cashier of the bank, who was on his way home from the lodge rooms, met the two men who held up the night watchman on the corner but i.few minutes before the holdup. There la no question but what the alarm saved the bank. THREE YOIKU MEN ASD A GIRL Small Theatrical Company Taken Into . . Castody at Virginia. BEATRICE. Neb., Feb. 19. (Special Tele gram.)
