Bnrbara Campbell Wanted the Change
for IL Five Dollar Bill.
white woman named Barbara
Campbell created considerable excite
ment at tho depot yesterday looking
for boy who had abscondcd with SIS be-
longing to her.
1t seems that Barbara had been away
and camo in on the train yesterday
morning. She got Mack Garner. who
drives one of Frank Colwcll's drays, to
carry hcr trunk to her house on Center
street. A small boy named John went
along with the wagon. She rendered
the driver a SIS bill, but he was unable
to make the change, and said he would
send for it about noon. John heard
this, constituted himself as the mes
sengcr and called around for the money.
The woman told him she had no change,
but to go over to the ice factory and get
tho note changed. The boy won't in tho
factory from the rear and disappeared
out at the front. He has not been hear d
of since.
Barbara ripped and snorted with the
drayman yesterday evening, but he
could give her no information about the
boy, other than that his name was John.

CLARK MILLS. ela GIRL.
I-ho Model OF tho Original Sea&uc Of Epccs
dom at tho SmithsooIan.

Tho Model Of tho Original seasuo Of Epoe.
dom at tho Smithsonian
Ono OF tho points of interest In Waah-
ington not generally appreciated is the
statue OF Froodotn on tho capitol dome,
faootiolsly and faIniliarly known US the
big girl Notwithstanding It's colossal
size 1t Is beautifully p.oportioncd fig-
tIro. entitled To artistio odmirat!,rl. but
1t has stood at an altitude that prevent
cd u clenr hoo of it's clever conception.
For years, says the Chicago Post, the
model of Freedom. which Clark Mills
matsn after the designs of Thomas Crayv-
ford, and which. in addition TO tho Jacls-
son statue. made him famous as O sculp-
tor Lay in bits h on obscure portion Of
the NATIONAL museum, and it Is only
Within the Last SIX months that an effort
has ooen mode to restore the deserving
original to recognizable form and 10
give it place Of honor where one may
study instead of merely wonder over the
magnificent proportions
Now the miniature 6shpord which
occupied the center of tho museum
building, and near which Girtation
couples have often basked In oonpcn-
1ont scots and wotchod gildod and Sill
into the receptacle for the pedestal. six
feet high, upon which Is being gradual
~ ptoccd and mounted the old model.
1t Is already the object of curious spec
ulation from countless visitors, who
imagine it anything from tho statue Of
Mmnehaho to the latter-day Columbia.
Very few take the pains to discover
that the psccclnoal work of restoring tho
original 'big girl" Is being done by tho
son Cd Clark Mills, who assisted in mals-
ing the design. The figure is twenty
feet In height ard needs only the fore
arms and hands to complete II The
bunch of feathers on tho head, which IS
softcnod, 'ehalocd," by birds ON tho
dome itself IS reminiscenoc of Jeffrr-
son Davis, which Is calculated to win
for him hitherto unexpected eeteeln
n1nong patriotic paGtisans, who have
been only too willing to acccl& only tho
odfun in which his mcmpy has been
cLnudcd
When the model was msaic Jefferson
Davis was secretary of war, and it was
to him the sculptor submitted the figure,
with liberty cap upon the hoad. To
this dctail JEFF Davis objected, saying
that 1t suggested that Americans had at
one time been slaves. The bunch Of
feathers Us typical OF America, was
substituted.
1t seems mosb fitting Chat SO eqnincnA

One took effect in the abdomen of one and

He was then seen to sit Gown. A large

within a short distance of it. he noticed a
man running toward him calling him to

the unknown man demanded Carpenter 5

had behind him and fired. The evening was
chilly and Carpenter had his coat collar
turned up, which probably saved his life.
The left side of his face was filled with
shot. The second load struck the top of the
buggy. Carpenters wounds are considered
very dangerous. A large posse is now seek
