 The fine new fre-fghting machine is now on it's way to Montgomery and the department Is looking for 1t to get here any. day.
 The engine is of the most modern type "The Metropolitan" It is built in the most approved fashion of steel, iron and copper and weighs live tons or 10000 pounds as 1t stands ready for service Its power. or as it is express ed. its pumping capacity is 1000 gall Ions a minute, as much as the combined power of the three fire engines now owned by the fire department.

Master and Slave Friendly on the Plantation of the South--Adher- ed to Former Owners When They Were Fighting In

 Thomas Nelson Page in scribner's.
 It is we'll known by those who knew the old plantation life that there were marked divisions between the negroes, The house servants represented class quite distinct from and quite above+t the field hands," of whom they were wont to speak as "cornheld niggers," while among the formeR were degrees as clearly defined as ever existed la an English gentleman's house, where the housekeeper and the butler held them selves above the rest of the servants, only admitting to occasional Fellowship the ladys maid. Among the first Tn station were the nanny. the butler, the carriage driver, the ladies maids, the cook and the gardener, with the boys" who were attached to one or the other position as assistant and were In training for the places when the elders should fail.
 Among the field hands" was, nrst, the head man." The head man was the equal of any other servant---a rank due, perhaps, partly to his authority and partly to the character that brought him this authority. He was the foreman or assistant superintendent the plantation. He carried the ys; he called the hands to work; 4cted them and was, to some ex- in authority over them.

Interest in RellgIoua WorIx.

There seems to be a general church revival in Montgomery" said an ob- servant man yesterday and from what Ilsee and heer there seems to be gen. eral interest among the people in at tending these services.
 Almost every church in Montgomery has had some sort of special meeting within the last month and at the pres ent time there are three or four of these gatherings in progress.
 q don't know whether Montgomery is getting better or whether we are just making up in lump for our sins. The newspapers are filled with sermons and notices of church and Sunday School meeting with reports that the attendance is just as good as the week before the Sunday School picnic in the simmer. I guess we are getting to be model lot of citizens"

Mrs Harriet l. Barnhill, While
Mentally Deranged, Wan
ders Away
FAMILY is GREATLY WORRIED
Police and sherff's Office Have Been
Appealed to in an Effor. to Locate
Her-ls Paroled Patient of the
State Hospital for the Insane at In
Observation-Disclosures for Dead Son.

Mrs. Harriet ]. Barnhill, 40 years OF
age, wife of William Barnhiil MEM
Der of the Soldiers Home, disappeared
Wednesday from her home, located
Just off of Summit street. between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth, and has
not been heard from since. Grief for
ii son, Walter Burnett, who was
drowned eight or ten years ago, and a
temporary mental arrangement, owing
to i'll health. is thought responsible for
her strange disappearance.
Mrs. Barnhll was last seen at 10
O'clock Wednesday, when She Informed
her husband that she was going away
for a time and would return soon. She
carried with her small bundle, now
thought 10 have contained clothing.
She is supposed to have had about 81
in money in her purse. Mr.. Barnhiil.
who was accustomed to his wife'S ac-
lions while suffering, thought she
would return, and did not begin to feel
any anxiety until evening. when she
failed to put In an appearance. FRANK
Burnett, son of the woman, living at
1875 West Main street, was notified.
and he informed the police and the
sheriffs office. Because of Mrs. Barn
hills grief for her dead son Riverside
was visited. her son Frank thinking
that perhaps she might be found at
his grave. The old swimming hole,
back of the cemetery, where Walter
Burnett was drowned, was also WIS.,
tied but no traces of the woman could
be found.
Mrs. Barnhill is a paroled patient of
the state hospital for the insane at In
dependence where she was sent fifteen
months ago. She WAS naroled about
five months ago. She has two other
children. Mary Burnett, aged IA, and
Frank Barnhill, aged 8. who are in the
Iowa Soldiers Orphans Home at Dav-
export.
Mrs. Barnhill is described as being
about Ave feet four inches In height,
and weighing 100 or 200 pounds. When
she left home she was wearing q black
waist and skirt, brown shawl
trimmed with gray, and felt shoes,
with cloth tops. Mrs. Barnhill has
brown eyes and her hair. once dark, Is
now quite gray.
1t is thought by the officers that
possibly the woman has wandered into
the country. and is unable to find her
way home. Frank Burnett the son,
does not think his mother would att
tempt suicide as she has never mem
toned self destruction while suffering
her attacks of arrangement.
