Oskaloosa independents: 1t is ru-

take charge of the Southwestern again
before long. 1t is also reported that
the accommodation train on the North
weStern will run to Seneca instead of only
/ to Holton, which will involve change of
time schedule. The report may not be
true as to the change on the Southwest
ern, but it would seem as if the Santa
Fe could run it to better profit, having
track connection with Topeka, and their
branch road to Leavenworth not coming

Topeka Capital: The New York
parties represented by Mr.. Haight, the
engineer who was here looking over the
Topeka, Westmoreland & Marysville
railroad, proposed route, assures the
people of North Topeka that if the
bonds are re-voted and the right of way
donated, there will be no question
about the building of the road. He
says there will be no trouble about the
money in case suitable arrangements
can be made. The bonds voted at tho
election a year ago expired January i
which will necessitate another election.
DR.. Linn, who is interested in the
building of the road, is satisfied that
the bond proposition will be again car
ried, and that the road will be built.
The New York parties wrote recently to
E. n. Gum, their attorney, saying that
if an extension of time on the bonds
could be secured the arrangements for
building the road could be completed in
a short time. This, of course, could
not be done, and another election will
be necessary.

A large frame barn on the farm OF
the Hon. Charles b. Lore at Bellevue
on the p, W. & b. railroad, was with
nearly all 1t contents totally destroyed
by fire last evening. About Tbs O'Clock
as man WIS passing along in a car
rlage he discovered the Aames.andgave
an alarm to which farmers and othert
in the vicinity responded. A part of the
horses and cattle in the building
were rescued. but the flames spread
with alarming rapiuity. 1t is suppos.
ed that the fire wiIs started by spark
from the engine Of thresher and liz.
nited some straw.
A large crowd of men devoted their
attention to saving the carriage-house
and farm house, which were near to
the bnrn. Abucket brigade was formed
and did great service in saving the two
houses from destruction. Many times
the houses were on fire, bnt each time
they were successfully put out.
The barn was fifty feet square and
about forty feet high. IL had fine
stone foundation, and was one of the
finest and most commodious barns in
Brandywine hundred. 1t Is thought
the loss will amount to $4,000, which
Is said to be covered by insurance.
Mr.. Lore arrived at the fire late last
night, but at that time the building
WIS a smoldering mass OF ruins. The
fire burned about four hours and the
light could be plainly seen in this city.

Mr.. George d. Peterson OF New York
| young sculptor OF considerable note
is in the city and is the guest Of Georg
H, Baird, son of Charles Baird. Mr.
Peterson has with him a model for
Garfield monument which he exhibited
| to q number OF friends In Duncan 4
Brothers hardware store for an hou
or SO yesterday forenoon.
The base upon which the figure rests
is to be eight feet high, and the figur,
itself is to be eight feet more, the Who'll,
10 feet. The base, which is to be O
granite, is square at the lotion, and
at the top is plate of bronze. upon
which the figure rests, about four fee
square.
The figure stands upright represent
Ing Garfield as he entered the ladies'
room at the depot at Washington
when he was shot by Guiteau. He has
his hat which he has removed from
his head, in his bare right hand, while
his left gloved hand holds his cane and
his other glove, and across his left arm
hangs his overcoat. The figure is very
realistic and life like.
1t is intended that the figure shall
be cast In the best bronze. The rough
estimated cost of the whole is about
$4,000, $1,000 for the base and $4,000 for
tho figure. Mr.. Henry b. Duncan
thinks that as the people seem SO anx.
ious for a monument, that amount OF
money should easily be raised. Mr..
Peterson says, however, that monu-
ment even after his model can be con
structed for less sum, but with more
Inferior material.
Mr.. Peterson is a native OF this city,
and his efforts to furnish his native
city with proper Garfield monument
should be met with the greater by
Wilmingtonians. He was the son OF
George II. Peterson, who preceded
James @. Johnson In keeping q stove
and house-furnishing goods store at
No. 225 Market street, where J.CJohn-
son d Son now have their stove and
house-furnishing store.
Young Peterson left homo when he
was about years old and roughed il
through the country, determined to
be sculptor. He visited st. Louis
and other western cities and made
his way east and connected himself
with the Boston Museum of Fine
Arts.
He then went, in 1891, to Paris. where
he piled his vocation under the in
structions of such eminent sculptors
and artists as Chapu and Bartholdi.
He came over from Paris in July last,
and Is residing in New York. He will,
in all probability, exhibit his model in
some prominent place in the city, but
where, he is not prepared to say just
yet.
