A Pistol Is Presented and a Cir

i On last Tuesday afternoon this city
received terrible shock, when the
news spread that Poindexter Bush
the 14-year-old son of William II.
Bush, had accidentally shot and killed
Belle Retic, aged IA years, whom Mr..
Bush had taken to raise. She was a
native of Menefee county, where her
mother now resides and had been in
Mr.. Bush's home for several years.
She was a good girl and had won the
affection of the entire family, and her
sudden and unexpected death has
brought sorrow and distress 10 a
happy family.
The facts in regard to the accident
as we have carefully gathered, are
as follows:
Deck Bush had gone into his
brothers room to get a collar button,
and seeing new Smith 81 Wesson
revolver was handling it and seeing
some of the chambers empty, thought
they were all in like condition. About
this time the girl looked through the
window and held up her hand, saying,
you cannot hit anything, when
Deck through amusement, pulled up
the pistol and it went Off striking the
girl in the forehead killing her in
stantly. He ran TO her and observing
her condition, fastened for a physic-
ian, but nothing could be done, she
was dead, and the deepest grief pre-
vailed i'll the entire household. The
was preached by Elder H. ID.
Clark and her remains was placed in
the Vault at Machpelah Cemetery.

A Tribute to Bishop Brooks.
N. Y. Herald.

n. Y. Herald.
The oeath of Philips Brooks is q
severe shock to the Church Of Amer.
ica. Vague rumors of bis illness
had hardly been whispered before
the news Of it's sudden and fata
termination was flashed over tba
wire.
The enemy to which ne surrender :
ed was heart failure, malady so
aggressive, so imperious and so un.
relentiDg that it seldom capitolates.
When IT made its first onset bis
friends firmly believed that vigor.
ous constitution would easily win
the mastery. but the unexpected has
happened, and there are dim eyes
on two continents over the loss Of 9
man as generous and kn,ghtly. as
courtec and charitable as was
ever tenanted in human form.
Bishop Brooke was preacher of
remarkable power, theologian
versed in the lore Of the Church, but
above all he was man. He was
not more conspicuous for the height
and breadth of his ply slque than
for the breadth and height OF MS
mind. There was no shred or tstter
of mere seCtarianism in Ills nature
Ap Episcopalian by mental bias and
aesthetic taste,he vas large enough to
extend helping hand aud cordial
word of encouragement to every
Christian effort, hy whomsoever
made. Thoroughly catholic at heart
he worked for homsnity, and while
claiming his own rights with per>is.
tency, he gave way to the rights OF
others with grace which uade bin
beloved by all who k,.ew him.
There are many good and great
men in the world, and always will be
out We shall miss very genial pres.
ence and cherish the memories Of his
past with mingled pride an0 admlra
ton. Tue world can hardly help
feeling poorer because Bishop
Brooks has been promoted to higher
service.

Pure, unsullisd and fair,
With eyes of bewildering blueness,
And shimmering golden hair.
With brow as white as snowaake;
Her voice was tender and sweet,
And her rosebud mouth was reddel
Than the flowers at our feet.
Ard out in that witching mo oonlight,

Witfpassionate joy l kissed her,
For sac answered. "only thine.'
She vowed to be ''leal and faithful, -
In life and death. to me;
Thro' the sun might fall from Heaven,
And time might cease to be.
Oh, strength of woman's devotion;
Or the vows woman speaks;
'Tis years since that flush of capture
Broke over her milk white cheeks.
Tonight [ stand in the moonlight;
A sadder and wiser man,

And tonight the world pays homage,

WISG0NsIN'S STATESMAN.
A Statue of Ex-secretary Rusk VIII He
 Erected at viroqua.

SIRoQUA, Wis, Dee. 5.-A hand some marble shaft will shortly mark
 the last resting place of ex-Governor and ex-Seeretary of Agriculture Jeremiah N. Rusk in the picturesque cemetery of this town. Although the design has not yet been decided upon by the family, it is understood that it will be plain--almost ap- preaching severity. Upon the base will be carved the name of the de ceased statesman, the. date of his birth and his death, and possibly the titles of the public offices which he filled in his life time There has been considerable talk among the old friends and neighbors of the deceased favorable to the erection of statue in the grounds of the Courthouse which shall serve as a perpetual reminder of Yernoncounty's greatest citizen. No definite steps in this direction will, however, be taken until after the new years, as result of intimations that 8 number of representative sons of Wisconsin, irrespective of party predilections, will inaugurate in January a movement looking to the erection at the state capital of a suitable memorial to the ex-Govern- or which should be a tribute not merely from the people of his own county, but from all parties and all sections of his snativecommonwealth.
