InstallAutomatic Alarm.

The Hamilton County State bank is
this week installing an automatic
electrical alarm system. With its
completion, officials announce, the
vaults OF the banking house will be
as nearly imprcgnable as those of any
metropolitan institution and as burg
lar and fire proof as it is possible to
construct.
D. L. Jones, representative of the
American Bank Protection Company
Of Minneapolis, is in the city. super
intending the installation of the
alarm system. Mr.. Jones declares the
system is the only one absolutely
guaranteed to be burglar proof. A
heavy cement vault is mob proof, but
noe burglar proof, he says.
The Hamilton County State bank
vaults-7x11x9A and 6x7x9A-are
constructed with twenty-six inch
fire proof walls. These walls extend
four feet below the basement, as well
MS to considerable distance above
the ceiling of the room IN which the
vaults are located. The newly in
stalled electrical system provides for
.-the double lining Of both vaults with
asteel plates floors, ceiling and four
{ side walls as well as passage ways.
The twenty-five inch fire gong, which
will be placed on the outside of the
building, is a separate alarm in itself.
Two independent time alarm clocks are
used to guard against error in either
Of them. These alarms work automatic
ally. Set to become effective at 6
o'clock, they automatically give an
alarm at 5 AS, announcing to workers
in the institution that valuables must
be put away speedily.
The two distinct steel Innings of the
vaults are insulated from each other
and electrified separately, SO that any
thing penetrating from either side will
set off the alarm. AS three currents of
electricity are used, the alarms work
independent of cut wires. The slight
est touch upon the combination sets off
the alarm. 1t is proposed to give a
public demonstration of the alarm sys
TEN at some future date when the gong
has been put into working order.
The protection system which the local
bank is installing is a guarantee of
safety to patrons of the institution and
as such will be recognized by them as
meriting their appreciation and increas-
ed confidence.

The Garden Old


The garden old, where first we met,
Was redolent of mignonette,
OF honeysuckle white and red;
And myrtle vines that trailed and spread
Above the wall grew violet.
When roses with the dew were wet,
Or in the twilight's silhouette,
We sought through lovers paths to tread
The garden old.
Though life's long day has nearly set,
1t casts no shadows of regret;
For though the light of youth has fed,
And blossoms of the earth are dead,
My love and can ne'er forget
The garden old.
