OUR FIREMEN.

EDS. JoURNAL:-Ln recent commu-
nication to the JOURNAL correspond
ent signing himself Insurance Agent"
reflected. we thought, rather severely
upon the volunteer fire department of
our city, claiming that they were inef-
ficient, etc. Those who were present
last Friday evening at the burning of
Mr.. Sam Dicks barn and saw the good
work done by the firemen on that oc-
casion, both as regards the extinguish-
ment of the flames on that particular
building as well rs preventing their
spread to number of Others and far
more costly ones, we think will disa-
gree with Insurance Agent" in his
conclusions, and will coincide with the
views of the editor. that with our ia
cilities for fighting fire, our town de-
serves better rates from the insurance
companies.
We have seen fires in large cities
with paid departments but for prompt
ness in reaching the scene, and for or
derry and efficient methods of work in
extinguishing fire, we think our de-
partment, at that time, compared
fayorably with any of them. Consid-
ering that our firemen receive no COM
pensation for their services, save ex-
emption from street tax and jury duty
and as business men many of them to a
certain extent neglect their own affairs
for this labor of love, we think thew
should receive all encouragement and
praise instead of Encouragement and
censure, especially as they have always
proved that they are entitled to con-
sideration.
Without their efforts last Saturday
night, supplemented by our fine water.
works system, in all probability three
or four fine dwellings and the Presby.
terrain church would now be in ashes
By the way, there are some who com.
plain about the compensation paid the
waterworks company. For every year
that our council has been their patron
has not many times the annual amount
paid for water been saved to owners OF
buildings in danger of destruction by
fire?
We believe that the town is indebted
to the Marietta Fire Department and
the Marietta Water Works Company
We have no interests whatever in the
water works, nor or we fireman.

A BARN BURNED.

On Friday evening about O'Clock
the alarm of fire was sounded. Mr..
Sam X. Dicks new barn on his premises
on Church street was discovered to be
on fire. The barn was full of old lum-
Der, shingles and some oils and paints.
consequently the hungry flames had
plenty of fat material to feed upon.
The fire department responded prompt
ly, but when they got there the flames
were leaping high and angry. and the
building seemed doomed. The fire lad
dies turned on the water, but the noz-
zles each had a rock in it, sucked in
through the hydrants. They had to
stop and take out the rocks and then
begin to play on the fire. Inside of ten
minutes they had subdued the fire and
saved the building. The Brumby Chair
Factory hose also played on the north
side of the building and rendered valu-
able assistance. 1t looked at one time
that not only the barn, but the new
two room servant house would be de-
stroyed, but the fire was confined to
the barn and it was partially saved. 1t
was good work, and shows the efficiency
OF good fire department., backed as it
is by splendid waterworks system.
The hre department deserves praise for
the manly and brave way they fought
the lire and extinguished it. Chief A.
ID. Legg was cool and commanding and
kept the workers doing the right thing.
Chief Joyner of Atlanta couldn't have
done any better. The origin Of of the
fire is unknown. Mr.. Dick had $500 in
surance on the barn with his brother
in law, Mr.. Glenn Harris, agent, At
lanta. The barn was tongued and
grooved, and well arranged in every
department for horses, vehicles and
storage.
The fire alarm system as engineered
by the Marietta Telephone Company,
proved quite successful in quick Motif
cation and in hurrying the fire depart
ment to the scene of confiagration.

A NOTED COUPLE.

Last week at their home, the Shad.
ows," in Gainesville, Major Charles III
Smith, better known as bill Arp and
Mrs. Smith, celebrated their golden
wedding" Six hundred invitations
were issued to the function, and the
occasion, according to newspaper re-
ports, was one of rare brilliancy and
enjoyment.
Major Smith is one of the leading
writer's and lecturers of the South
and his letters with their quaintness,
humor and philosophy, are eagerly
read and enjoyed, in the Sunday Allan
ia Constitution, by thousands. We re-
gard him as rival of Judge Longstreet
and "Major Jones" in his humorous
delineations of life in Georgia. His
series of letters written at the close OF
the war between the States, in which
he thus describes episodes in that con-
fiict and events of the reconstruction
period cannot be excelled for their
amusing tone and their originality
and we think he has made decided
contribution, on the comic side, to the
history of that struggle as to American
literature as we'll He is also the au-
thor of several other works, one
being History of Georgia"
May this worthy couple be spared
many years yet to their children, theil
state and their country:. and may Ma.
jor Smiths pen never grow less trench,
ant and sparkling.

A BLAZE.

On last Thursday morning, Mr.. Ben
Wellons and Mr.. Bolan Brumby, of the
Marietta Chair Factory, were boiling
some turpentine and asphaltum in a
pot on stove in the kitchen of Mr..
James Il. Brumby's residence. In
lifting the pot, the asphaltum was
turned over and caught fire. The in
fiamable material was like powder and
blazed up instantly, filling the room
with flames and smoke. The fire was
fast catching the side of the kitchen
and the building was in imminent dam
ger of destruction. A fire extinguish-
er had been brought along, but the
flames melted some part of it, so it
couldn't be used. Another fire extin-
guisher was brought from the factory
and the fluid was turned on and the
fire was soon extinguished. In the
meantime, Mr.. Wellons had discovered
that the clothing of Mr.. Bolan Brumby
was on fire and he started to run out
doors where he was and struck a door
and gashed his head, over the left eye,
very badly; but undaunted he rushed
to Mr.. Brumby and helped to smother
out the tze of his burning clothing
The result was, Mr. Wellons' right hand
was severely burned, disabling him
from work. The fire alarm was sound
ed and the fire department. started to
the scene of the threatened conhagra-
ton, but were stopped and informed
that they were not needed.

The author of Foreign Courts and
Foreign Homes" relates very pa
thetic story of Marie Antoinette, told
to her by an old man who had, when
boy, during the days of the terror,
to take some water daily into the room
OF the unhappy queen. The boy did
not know the rank of the prisoner, as
she was spoken of as Veuve Capet, and
her daughter as Cheyenne Marie! The
first time he was grufiy told by his
uncle 10 put the pitcher down. On
entering the room he looked up and
saw pale, cold. stern-looking woman,
with snow-white hair, standing bolt up-
right, facing the three men and the boy
as they came in. She started violently
when the boy entered, but said moth
ing. No doubt he Reminded her of her
cwn unhappy son separated from her.
Some childish instinct made the boy
reverently bend his head to her. and
If he had dared he would have dotted
his cap and bent his knee. In the
guardroom he asked who this Veuve
CaPet was. and was told a bad, wicked
woman, who had been the curse of
France. Constantly he carried the
pitcher to i!er, and one day. when his
uncle was more drunk than usual, and
not noticing him. he slipped three little
primroses, which he had in his hot lit.
tie hnnd, into hers. The queen took
them, hid them in her dress. and burst
into tears."-Longman's Magazine.

DRUFF SCALES BUT 1T WON'T
CURE DANDRUFF.

If your hair is brittle and thinning, you
have dandruff. The merely securing OF
the SCALP of the loose scales, won't cure
dandruff; because dandruff is nothing
but scales of scalp being thrown up by a
pestiferous little germ in burfoWing It's
way to the root of the hair where 1t saps
the vitality, causing falling hair and, IN
time, badness. Now you cant stop ian
druft, nor falling hair. nor prevent bald-
ness unless you destroy hat germ, ano
the only preparation that can do 1t is tins
new scientific discovery, Newbro's Her
picide. In fact no other hair preparation
claims to kill the dandruff germ-all o.
them will clean the scalp: soap and water
will do that, but only NewDro's Herpl'
eide gets at the root Of the trouble ane

during the past three or four years, was
shot n instantly killed by Sheriff Will
liam S. Pyle of Beaverhead county at

Teton basin, Carr and Cohn combining
their d~epredations to Silver Bow and

done in his life SO much as the shooting
Of Carr.

not propose TO take any chances with
them, n it was the merest chance in
the world that | hit Carr.

A DESPERATE CHARACTER.

Carr a for a number of years been
a notorious criminal. When a boy he
served a term in the reform school,, and
later was sent to the penitentiary on a
charge of grand larceny. About six
months ago he and Cohn attempted to
rape a Mrs. Dillon of this city, but a
case could not be made against him on
account of the hard swearing of he and
his partner in crime.
Several months agO arr was wanted
in Beayerhead county on a charge of
cattle stealing. Under Sheriff Moore
captured him at a ranch on Medicine
Lodge. Even after the deputy sheriff
had him covered Carr attempted to draw
his gun. and was only disarmed after a
struggle. Then he told Moore that he
would fixed hin if he (Moore) had not
beer the strongest of the two. His rec
ord since his bOyhood shows him to have
been a most desperate character.

prising the Beaverhead sheriff, Deputy
Sheriffs White and Aware, both Silver
