Why Women Are Bad Risks.

notwithstanding the fact that women reach greater age than men they have proved losing venture to life insurance companies. Women are not prone to ex- cesses nor exposed to the rough weather, nor liable to the accidents which shorten life. but they are more likely to suffer from cancer in middle life than are men, and. too. women much more frequently have intuitive premonition of failing health than have men, and having that intuitive fear, take life insurance

Recalls Great Blizzard.

Rev. Mir. Alden vividly recalls June 6. 1916. in New York State. Upon that datte was regular blizzard the ground be- ing covered with snow. All the sheen had been sheared. and 1t was so cold that hundreds of the animals froze to death. This was afterward referred to as "the cold year" Nearly all crops were de- stroyed excepting rye which sold for $2 50 per bushel. The acreage of this crop was small. and with a debt on the farm to be raised. the Alden family had all sorts of vicissitudes.
 Rev MT. Alden's latest public appear ance in the pulpit was in September of the present year. just following the an- nual conference which transferred the pastor. Rev. Mir. Bell to Galesburg. MT. Alden was assigned to speak upon the work of the church and what had been accomplished in the seven years of MT. Bells administration here, and he was as clear, consecutive and forceful in thought as any of the younger ministers who spoke upon that occasion. Mir Alden is very much interested in the celebration of his 97th birthday and declares that he Is in such good health that there appears no doubt about his living to be 100.

Chicago.
The bandits were surrounded after
having been tracked across the sand
dunes of Indiana along the Lake Shore
The place where they were trapped was
a so-called dug out or hunters rude
hut. The trailing of the bandits was
done by a detail of Chicago detectives
not local Indiana officers as first re-
ported. Watched all night and by the
detectives. the bandits today made a
bold attempt TO escape and shot two of
the would-be captors. one seriously.
The report of the shooting reached
Chief O'Neil just as he was preparing
to send out IA detectives under Assist
ant Chief Schutt1er. The detail was

Shoot to KILL Chief O'Neil sternly
ordered the SO and then on the way to
Miller Station Assistant Chief Sehut-
tier repeated the order emphaticaily.
The men were trapped by Detective
John F. Sheehan at the head of ten
other detectives. They were sent to IN
diana Sunday night on tip received
through a man from Pine, Ind. town
seven miles from Miller station, who mad
seen one of the men display big roll
of bills. The men were finally located
in the dugout near the Baltimore &
| Ohio tracks at a short distance from
Miller Station. The desperadoes realzed

on their captors The latter replied wit h
interest but confined themselves chief
~ to keeping the bandits well in hand
until reinforcements could arrive. Then
came the bandits attempt to escape and
the result in wounding of two of the
! detectives, thinner and DriscoH. The
/ exchange of bullets continued for hours,
but both the detectives and bandits were
| Increasingly wary and neither side scor-
| ed. Over a hundred shots were exchang-
| ed The police were forced to fight at
| a disadvantage having the embankment
of the railroad tracks as their only pro-
1 lection The fugitives remained hldoens
their rifles along showing.
After a study of the surroundings De-
tective Sheehan said:
| I am firmly of the opinion that IL we
| try to stave the men out, we will have
/ a long time doing it, The situation of
bravado of the men make me think
that it is well stocked with both provis-

/ Evidently the bandits had selected the
cave as a place of refuge long ago.
/ Chief of Police O'Nen this afternoon
received word from the Pennsylvania
that apparently the bandits had escaped
from the posse at the dug out near

TRAPPED IN Cave
Two Outlaws Surrounded by
Officers i'm Indiana.
Fight Ensues and Help Is.Sent
from Chicago.

Chicago. Nov.27.-Harry van Dyne and
Peter Neidmeyer, accused of sensational
murders and robberies at Street car
barns in Chicago, are supposed to have
been trapped in a dugout near Miller Sta
ton, Ind. The dugout has been sur
rounded by local police. Urgent tele-
gram for help reached here today and
30 men under Capt. Schuettler, assist
ant chief of police left at once for Mil
Ter Station, armed with Winchester RI
ies and reVolvers- Reports from the
place say that a fusinade of shots has
been exchanged between the men in the
dugout and the local police. Two of the
latter have been wounded seriously. The
battle is said to have been a furious
one.
With the telegram came requests for
a physician and priest. The officer
sending the telegram, Sheehan of Chi
cago. reported that he had no reason to
doubt that the men surrounded are &C
completes of Gustav Marx, the self-con-
fessed bandit who has been under ar
rest in Chicago for several days. The
telegram saying that shooting had taken
place between the officers guarding the
dugout and the prisoners was received
as Assistant Chief Schuettler had COM
pleted all arrangements to go to Miller
station at the head of a party of de-
tectives. He had received word previ-
ously that two men had been found In
the dugout and that they resempled the
two tugltlNeS. Sheehan promised tC
guard the place S0On after came word
that shooting had broken out between
the imprisoned men and the guards
Two OF the latter were shot and besides
the physician and a priest, fifty men
were assembled.
To get the men to the station in time
to catch 2 special train Chief O'Neil
had to impress into service a wagon
of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany. The detectives piled into the
wagon and were driven at breakneck
speed to the station. There a special
train pulled out with small army of
policemen aboard. The train was
scheduled to go TO South Chicago,
where a srecia1 over the Baltimore s.
Ohio was to take uD the run to Miller
station
The dugout is in a wild section ot
country near the shore of Lake Michigan
and bordering the vast swamps that
stretch to the southwark The few resi-
dents near the scene are reported to have
rallied to the aid of the police Several
volleys from rifles were sent into the dug
out, but the bandits kept under cover. Il
is thought that one Of the bandits was in.
