Those who believe that beer drinking Is
helpful rather han harmful ought to read
what the insurance doctors are saying. At
q convention here last week thew discussed
the matter seriously and scientifically, and
they held hat the habit is injurious and
makes persons bad risks for insurance. DIR.
Rogers, of the New York Life Insurance
Co., sold:
.Recentiy ! had occasion to make some
study Of what happens among persons en-
gagged in the manufacture of beer, defined
generally as brewers. My cases included
not only the w~orkingmen engaged in brew
cries, but also the propIietors of breweries.
1t is a curious fact that the mortality
among the proprietors Is about as high as
among the %workmen, showing that they
are all given to copious libations.
Another curious fact Is that the data
that l rave been able to secur indicates
that Urtello's point, emphasized by DR..
Bernacki, that mortality Is very high at adj
vanced ages, is very well borne out. The
mortality is strlkingly low among brewers
In early years. Up TO forty or whereabouts
brewers seem to be about as good risks as
pretty much anybody else. After forty the
mortality rises very high, and / should say
that at fifty-five or sixty years OF age about
three brewers may be expected to die
where mi average person dies"
It is already clear that beer Is not a tenn
perance drink. Now, according to the
doctors, 1t saps the vital forces, and this Is
an extremely weighty Indictment against
it.-New York Independent.

MASKED MEN ROB AB BANK
CooIIy Hold Up Eight Persons in Belle
Fourche, South Dakota.
ESCAPE WITH ABOUT $4,000.

-Four Men, Thought to Re Laughing san
Carey with a New Gang. Raid tho
Butte County Bank at Belle Fourchc
South Dakota, and All But One Get
Away Into tiie fmpassable Bad Lands.
DEADwooD, South Dakota (special).-
-Four masked men made a desperate raid on
the Butte County Bank at Belle Fourche
Monday afternoon. Entering the bank
with revolyers drawn they ordered the GUS
toners present and the bank officials to put
up their hands. A little hesitancy on the
part Of Cashier Marble drew a shot from
one Of tho robbers. which clipped on a
piece Of the cashiers right ear and enforced
compliance with the command.
In the safe and on the counters there
were bills and coin amounting to about
$40. 600. The robbers scooped 1t all into q
sack, backed out of the bank, and mount
ing their horses, which had been convent
emily stationed near. rode away.
The alarm was given Immediately and in
a few moments q well-mounted and armed
posse was in pursuit. Within a few miles
from town the posse came up with the fugi-
tiyes and a running fight ensued, which re-
suited in one Of the robbers surrendering.
The Others, being better mounted, kept on,
but are closely pursued and have very little
chance Of escaping.
The man who was captured Is o stranger
In the hills, and It Is believed that he was
used to locate the place and FIX all the de-
tails. The other men are believed to be the
remnants of the once famous band of
Laughing Sam Carey that flourished in the
Black Hills until ten years ngo. when they
held up the iron-bound treasure coach OF
the w~ells-Fargo Company at Buffalo Gap
and were almost exterminated. They got
$50, 900 in gold at that time, and the sur-
viying members got out Of the country with
It.
Several men who saw the escaping rob-
bers declare that the leader was Carey.
None of the men carried rifles, but all were
armed with heavy revolvers. TIL men
made for the Bad Lands. They evidently
figure on standing OF the posse or hiding
In some of the many recesses.
There were eight men In the bank at the
time the robbers entered, three of whom
had pistols in their pockets. Most of them
were men who have lived on the frontier a
long time, AND knew that an effort to draw
a revolver would merely precipitate a fight
that might end In the killing OF all those in
the bank.
The men worked at the job as coolly as IL
they were performing a legitimate transac-
ton. When they were overtaken by their
pursuers they had discarded their masks
and were counting the money. They quickly
got their revolvers into action, and showed
by the way they used them they were old
timers at the business. The bank has
offered a reward OF $4,000 for the robbers,
lead or alive.
