Girl Students at Fremont Normal
Given n Bad Scare.
Fremont, Neb., May l6.-Two lady
students at the Fremont normal
School, Misses Kate and Maggie
Laugnlin OF AxLell, Neb., received a
fright on Tuesday night by having a
man enter their room at the dormi-
tory while they were asleep. When
KATE Laughlin happened to rouse her
self from slumber she stretched out
her hand and 1T touched the face of a
man with several days growth of
beard. The fellow warned her not to
make noise of any kind or he would
kill her, but in spite of his command
she emitted a loud scream. Her sis
ter at once awoke and a night watch
man hurried to the door. The mid
night intruder lost no time in jump
ing out through "a window. a1Ai /.
Yesterday afternoon a pair Of blood
hounds were put on the trail, but they
could not follow 1T with certainty.
The rain had washed away the scent
SO that it was impossible for them to
pursue it closely. 1t is still unknown
whether the man who invaded the
young ladies' room lives in the city or
not. In order to make sure that no
one rooming at the dormitory was re-
sponsible for che affair, every room
was searched and all the students
found to be where they belonged. The
opinion is held by some that the guilty
person was familiar with the dormi'
tory building.

HOT WATER FOR HEATING.
House Kept at Uniform Temperature
During Cold Weather.

DurtnR COlu Weatncr.
The supply of hot water for public
heating systems from central station
Is growing in favor In smaller towns
and It would seem to be the ideal and
most economical method of heating.
even in large cities The hot water Is
returned to the central station after
passing through the radiators OF the
consumers, with comparatively small
loss in temperature.
One occasion In an Ohio town. with
over two miles of mains, finds that the
loss in temperature is only 80 degrees
when water is sent out at a temporal
ture of 1870 degrees.
The temperature of the water clrcu-
lated is modified to suit the weather
conditions. When it is very cold the
temperature of the water sent out from
the central station lis made higher. and
the pumps which force it through the
mains are made to work faster. In
this manner uniform temperature Is
maintained at all times, despite mark
ed changes in the weather. The com
pany guarantees to maintain q given
temperature within 2 per cent
or course the freedom from dirt,
ashes and other fire troubles are also
desirable features. AS the water is
used over and over again the central
company. particularly If the system is
conducted as an adjunct of power
station, can furnish the service at a
comparatively moderate price, In the
latter case, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord, the exhaust steam furnishes near
ly If not all of the heat required.
