A New statue.
Complete Description of the Statue
 Governor BuekIngham

Complete Description of the Statue of
 Governor Buckingham.
 MT. Olin l.. Warner, of New York, has just finished statue of Governor Buckingham in clay at his studio. It will be immediately put into plaster and will be finished in bronze during the fall. The ceremonies of unveiling it will probably occur during the session of the legislature next winter. It is the first work of it's size that MT. Warner has yet attempted, but it is very strong production. Governor Buckingham is shown seated in large armchair. He leans well back in an attitude of repose. His head is turned, as is the body, slightly to the left and the expression is thoughtful and earnest. The left foot is advanced and the right drawn back close to the chair, the toes be- ing turned out. In the right hand, the arm of which is extended with the elbow resting on that of the chair, is held loose roll of manuscript. The left hand, the arm being placed well back on the chair, rests on the thigh, half clasped, with the fingers down. ward and the thumb extended-a particular. ly successful piece of naturalism.
 The body, whose weight is well felt-the impression of solidity and weights being one of the statues strong points-is clad in a | double-breasted frock coat, buttoned low and displaying part of the vest and the shirt. l A simple cravat IS tied about the high collar.
 The pose is especially easy and natural and the modelling broad, vigorous and learned. The head is strongly handled, the strong, de- l termined face, clean shaven, except for close | clipped side whiskers-being remarkably ex. pressive and lifelike. The massive chair on which the figure is seated is designed in ex. ] cellent taste and ornamented in simple an 1 tique style. At the back is a wreath of oak and laurel. The pedestal of the statue has much in common with that of Farragut, by Saint Gaudens, and will be simple low arch. 1 itectural structure of black or at least dark marble It will bear no decoration, device or inscription-not even name. The height of the statue and base, not including the pc. destal, will be little over six feet. The size of the figure is heroic and if standingi it would measure seven and half feet. Simplicity and strength are the characteristics of this admirable statue, which fulfills all that one ot the strongest of the young American sculp tors has promised in his previous work, by 1 his modern expression of the pure antique spirit.

Death of Major Griffin A. stedman.
Terribly RIutfIated.

In Greenwich, Friday afternoon, William Denton, single, about 20 years old, returned from work early and said he was going out gunning. He took down his double -barrelled shotgun, and in adjusting cap the hammer fell and one barrel was discharged, narrowly missing hi5 mother, who was standing near She saw that he was under the influence of liquor, and she took the gun and put it away in the cellar. When the remainder of the family was in the upper story of the house young Denton crept down stairs and gained possession of the weapon, one barrel of which was loaded. The members of the family were alarmed by report, and found Denton lying at the foot of the cellar steps, with one side of his head completely blown off, the charge having struck him under the chin. Death of course was instantaneous. It is supposed that he was dragging the gun up the steps, when the hammer caught, and this caused the discharge

The Increased Needs and Usefulness of
 the InsG1tutf0ns
 The needs of the hospital require the build ing of an additional wing on the north side of the originalsb lsbuilding. As isalready known a committee on raising funds has been ap- pointed and also one on plans for the new building. It will probably be about half the size of the present new building and will cost about $5O.OOO. The new dormitory supplies long felt want and is very much liked by it's occupants. There are about twenty less cases in the hospital now than there were a month ago, the number at present being about one hundred. The air about the place is as cool and healthful as in any portion of the city. The grounds and everything about them are kept in the best order possible. Some convalescents were out enjoying the cool of the shade in the pleasant grounds yes terday afternoon.

Remoring an old Church Rut1dtng.

Contractor Cone has bought for a small sum the old Congregational church on the corner of Howe and Martin streets, and yes- terday the work of tearing down the building began The ground is the property of the New Haven Savings bank. It is probable that brick block will be erected. The old church building was formerly occupied by the Dwight Place church, before the erection of their new building on Chapel street. Later for some time Elder Lutz and his congrega- tion held worship there, and quite a sensa. tion were created over the smooth tongued elder and his methods, and the newspapers gave much space to accounts of the elders sermons and his oratory and especially after he was called to an account for his peculiar views. Of late years the church has been unoccupied most of the time.

This week we had a visit from one of the
boys who went through the Territory
roundup, and he poured out much infor-
nation in the course of Il running CONVEX
sation.
How did the mavericks turn out this
year 2" we asked him.
"Don't talk about il, for it makes the sick
to see how these fayorites are decreasing In
number. Used to be that lively boy could
pick up four or five on such a trip rs we
made; but the good days are past, and I'll be
DANCED If believe there is an animal be-
tween here and the gulf, that hasn't two or
three brands on it."
"But can't you sometimes pick up an odd
brand that belongs away down the coun-
try that has dropped out of u passing herdY''
was asked.
'Honest, now, don't give it away. But
that's our only hope, and then its a risky
business and not much practiced. You
see man has to know for certain where
an animal belongs before he is safe In cut
ting it out; and not every fellow knows
whether brand is represented in the out
fit, OF whether 1t Is "a stray from Texas or
Colorado, or the lower Territory. The
days of adding to your number, said he, ex-
cept you buy them, are past in this section;
il seems to be practiced to some extent i'm
the eastern part Of the Territory, but the
chances to get away with them are Slim"

Ayoung lady on Main street, who Is no.
ted as a fine musician, did good act Mon
day evening. A number OF the boys from
the range were enrapturcd by her music.
and were intently listening at a respectful
distance on the Sidewalk. One was bold
enough to advance to the door, and with
hat In hand requested that fayorite air be
rendered. This request was complied with
and a half dozen or more Of the boys were
invited in. They accepted the invitation
and for quite time were treated to mus
ic they had not heard before for years, not
since they LEFT their homes to try their for
tunes In the west. Il was pleasure to the
boys, and must have been gratifying to the
young Edy to notice her attentive audi
enee.
"The man that hath no music In himself.
Nor Is not mov'd with concord OF sweet
sounds,
Il fit for trcasons, straagems and spoils."

AT LAKE Cry.

The celebration during the day was
not intended to be grand affair, but
in the evening the young folks made up
for lost time. An extensive platform,
covered over, had been erected, and in
this was q floor as smooth as glass and
as solid as rock. 1t could not have
been better suited for dancing. The
young people remained there enjoying
the amusement during the entire night,
and went home satisfied that few per-
sons had better celebration.
AT SUN CITY.
At Sun City there was regular old fash
ion celebration, and few persons who par
ticipated will have OCCASION to soon forget
it. Then they had the advantage of cool
grove, made up of hinge forest trees and
washed on the side by the sparkling wa
tiers OF the Medicine rivet. There was a
a full attendance of representative citizens.
and throughout, the little city sustained Its
we'll known reputation for enterprise and
hospitality, and has even added to it.
The programme embraced the follow
ing:
Music by the Sun City Glee Club.
Prayer by Rev. Robinson, OF the NJ. f
church.
Reading of the Declaration Of Indcpend-
ence by Mrs. Barton.
Opening address, by Z. p. Caruthers, of
the Barber County INDEX.
Grafton, by DIR. Zenor; Of Lake City.
Grafton, by Mr. Lamport, of Sun City.
Grafton, by Rev. j. NJ. Adams, of Sun
These exercises were interspcrsed with
music by the Glee Club, home organiza-
ton that deserves much credit.
ThS dinner was spread in the grove and
proved to b. an interesting part of the pro-
grammr.
The INDEX Is indebted more especially to
Mr.. I. 5. Proctor and his cstimable wife
for their hospitality.
In the evening the display OF fire works
were splendid aud were witnessed by the
citizens for miles around.
Altogether Sim City has never had n
more satisfactory celebration.

THE FOURTH.
How the Day was Celebrated in Barber
County.
Rtsrrhodr Had A Good rime.

No year since this county Was settled
has witnessed such general celebra-
ton of independence day as the year
1888, and it is question il any one
county in the state had as many as six
separate celebrations, as this had.
Commencing at home, we will men
ton the way it was done in Medicine
Lodge.
Eldred Post, G.. A. R., appeared in
procession at 10 O'Clock, in their new
uniforms, headed by the cornet band,
and following the old soldiers, came
citizens On foot and i'm vehicles, and
this made very respectable procession
The march was down Main to Kansas
Avenue, and then east to Elm grove.
After music by the band, Rev. Elliott
offered prayer, then more music by the
band.
Miss Bertha Story then recited the
Declaration of Independence in clear
voice, and with most pleasing address.
She deserves to be complimented on her
recitation.
This was followed by the singing Of
patriotic airs by volunteer glee club,
and then orations by Rev. Axline, Mr..
Sample, Capt. Ayers and Mr.. Garrison.
The day fire works were then exhib-
tied, and then dinner was announced.
Dancing was carried on all the after
noon to the music furnished by the
Slack Bros. OF Amber.
In the evening occurred the display
of fire works from the top Of Pearson's
store, and this was a pleasant sight.
Young and old then took charge of
Geppert-StOne hall, and until an early
hour Thursday morning, did they i'll
dulge in the pleasure of the dance.
