AN IDEA WANTED.
Governor Desires Suggestions for
Statue of State.

Des Moines, Jan. 12.-Governor
Cummins is anxious to have sugges-
lions for an a~llegorical statue repre-
senting Iowa TO be used at the st.
Louis exposition. The governor re-
ceived yesterday a letter from ex-
governor Francis of st. Louis, bead
of the exposition management, giving
details as to the figure. According
TO his letter, plans have been made
for a colonnade and terrace thanking
cascades on Art hill on the exposition
grounds. 1t is proposed to place be-
tween the columns of the colonnades
allegorical statues representing the
twelve states and two territories
carved out of the Louisiana purchase.
Governor Francis asks Governor
Oummins to suggest the spirit which
in his opinion the statue of Iowa
should embody.
The statues will be single figures,
fourteen feet high, on pedestals eight
feet high. The cost of modelling will
be paid by the exposition manage
ment, and tho most noted sculptors
of the country will be employed
Governor Francis says it is hoped
each state will have Ia bronze or
marble figure, to be permanent, and
to be a monument to coming gener-
atoms, and that each state will ap-
propriate therefor. The cost will be
about S1O, 600, including the pedestal,
Tor each figure. If tine states do not
appropriate, then the exposition
management will cause temporary
plaster figures TO be installed.i
1t is the supposition at the govern
or's Office that if the state should
raise an appropriation next winter
and cause a suitable statue to be pro-
vided, that the state would retain the
ownership of it and that it would
eventually be brought back to the
state capitol. However, what the
governor is specially interested in Eis
in securing a suitable figure for Iowa,
ard he said yesterday he hoped that
all interested in7seeing Iowa hold q
high place at the exposition would
help in selecting a suitable idea for
the figure to represent Iowa.
