Wei Meant But Not Wanted.


The Barre Times offers the following
advice to Montpelier. which Is doubtless
well meant aud should be received ia a
grateful spirit.
no doubt Montpelier Il on the point
Of INTRODUCING an eYer-ready fire de-
partment service in its city. That COM
munity has stretched such limits that
extremely long runs are sometimes me-
eessitated BY fire calls; for instance, to
the Pioneer section, which II mile from
the center Of the city Then, too, Mont
pelier Is large enough aud the calls are
plenty enough to need a paid depart
ment, with several fircmen always on
duty to respond instantly 10 demands
for services. One by one the various
cities and large towns Of the state have
recognized the necessity tor abandoning
the old volunteer system: Montpelier Is
one of the last 20 cling to that service.
As rule, the Capital City has been for
tunate IN avoiding large fires, but rope
titions OF the Montpelier & Wells River
railroad shops fire and the disastrous
residence blaze Of last night are fast
convincing the people that it is penny
wise and pound foolish to longer delay
the change
The facts Of the case are that the
capital now has an exceptional depart
nent, which has fought tile fires II 3
year with good Judgment and inteli-
gence The responses To alarms have
been excellent one company at tie last
fire reaching the scene with its hose
Wagon before the alarm had finished
ringing. The fremeu are alert and per
form their duties Ia a manner generally
commended BY the citizens. who at pres
ent are decidedly satisfied with tie avs

CHARLES sEGEBART ANSWERS
THE FINAL CALL.


1t was a surprise to the residents
of this community to learn of the
death of Charley Segebart, who resid-
es north of town. Mr.. Segebart was
loving father and a kind husband
but not only will he be missed by his
family but by all his nighbors for he
was a man greatly loved by all he
knew. Charles Segebart was born
the 18th or March, 1856 in Arensha-
gen, Pommerania, Germany, when z
years old his parent emigrated to
America and settled in Chicago where
they lived for time. In 1872 they
moved to Carroll county and from
there to Crawford county. In SO he
was married to Anna Bandrs. Mr..
Segebart worked in South Chicago
thirteen years. He then bought his
fathers farm where he lived until his
death. Death came Wednesday May
q, after suffering for a short time
with typhoid pneumonia. Funeral
services were conducted at the resi-
dence Friday and interment in the
Hays township cemetery. Mr.. Sege-
bart leaves widow and six children
an aged mother and other relatives to
mourn his death. We extend our
sympathy to the mourners in their
hour of sorrow.

WEEKLY FIRE DRILLS.

In last weeks issue of the Inlay City
Times the following was published
which expresses our sentiments exactly
on this subject
A fire drill was held at the school house
last week and the building was emptied
in three minutes although it was the
first drill that had been held this school
year. These drills should be held at
least once a week and at time not pre-
arranged by the teachers. Objection is
made that the drill seriously interferes
with the school work of the day. This
is probably true, but anything is prefer
able to the panic arising from a genuine
alarm when the pupils have not beer
trained by repeated drills to leave the
building promptly and in an orderly
manner. The loss of little school time
each week may be the means of prevent
ing loss of life at some future date.
