raw or not thoroughly cooked. In the
opinion of Dr. 8. K. Spauldlng, state health
Inspector, la a danger to human life. 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. This knowl
edge should also be tuught In all schools.

The Ice la now out of the Platte river and
the water has gone out of the south part
of the city leaving only a few pools In low
places. Families have gone back to tbelr
homes a second time and are again busy
cleaning up. The flood last week, according
to old timers, almost equalled that of ISM.
Measures will undoubtedly be taken tlte
coming summer toward preventing an
further flooding of the south side, either
by erecting a strong dike along the south
bank of the river or by diverting the chan

Islands.

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.
