BIG TOWER AT The FAIR.

One to be Built with Electric Cars and q
spirai Ascent to the Summit.
The Worlds Columbian exposition is
TO have q tower which, in its way, will
be as great an attraction as the famous
Eiffel tower at the Paris exposition.
Ground has already been broken for the
structure and considerable progress has
been made on the foundation. The
tower will be located at the eastern en-
trance of the Midway Plaisance, oppo-
site the woman's building, and will be
FIVE hundred and sixty feet high, with
diameter Of two hundred feet. The
ascent TO the summit of the curious
building will be made in cars propelled
by electricity, to be run on q track
which winds about the tower eight
times in making the entire ascent. The
passengers will obtain eight different
pictures Of the exposition grounds and
buildings from varying heights, which
will afford the best points Of view on
tho grounds. Ths grade is calculated
at eight per cent. TO the mile, and aside
from the novelty of a trip into the
clouds the sensation of returning thence
to earth will be as thrilling as ones first
ride down toboggan slide.
On the top of the tower is an observa-
tory, where the visitor can overlook the
magnificent white city. brass band
and stringed orchestra will be sta
toned on the observatory floor TO
furnish aerial music for the enter
tainment of the crowds ascending and
descending. On the ground floor one
of the finest restaurants at the exposi-
ton will be established, and all the cell
ebrated wine houses in the world will
have booths there to display their
choicest vintages Music will also be
provided in the restaurant. In the even
ing Japanese lanterns, illuminated by
incandescent lights, will be strung
all along the track from base to sum-
NIT. and the sight of the great building
ablaze with lights will doubtless be one
of the most interesting at the fair. The
foundation of the structure will be of
stone and of the strongest character, as
the weight to be borne will be tre-
mendous. The tower Is TO be con-
structed of iron and steel, which will be
painted light color TO make it attract
i've and at the same time in harmony
with the surrounding buildings.

THE TABLES TURNED.
How a Fighter Put an End TO Nocturnal
visitors.

How q Fighter Put an End TO Nocturnal
visitors.
"When the Chinese first began to
overrun California the laboring men
felt about their occupation much as
Othello did and failed to extend to the
eelestials that courtesy which the
youngest should extend to the oldest
civilization on earth," said Chang Lee,
the bright-eyed Mongolian secretary of
San Francisco capitalist, says the
St. Louis Globe Democrat. "They used
20 abuse MS terribly. favorite amuse-
ment of theirs was to catch US by the
cues and drag us about We are not
lighters, and, being in a strange land,
we could do no better than TO quietly
put up with it and hope that our tor
mentors would become ashamed and
let us alone. A lot of us were employed
to grade railroad, and the American
workmen used to invade our camp at
night and abuse us shamefully. One
day big Irishman named OFallop
came TO us and told us IL we would give
him fifty dollars he would make our
tormentors wish they had never seen a
Chinese camp. We agreed and he
stained his face, shaved his head, put
on Chinese costume and waited for
our visitors. They called that night as
usual, and O'Fallon took care TO be the
first 'Chinaman' they tackled. He had
been a prize-fghter, and the men used
70 say that he could kill bull with his
fist About dozen got around and be-
gan 10 kick and cuff him before he
made q motion. Then he turned loose,
and the way he laid that crowd out was
fine sport 70 witness He cleaned out
the whole lot, and the nocturnal visits
were discontinued"

A " oman Commits suicide In q Pontiac
House.
Alice Riley, n woman about 40 years Of
age, died suddenly at the road house
owned by Arthur Gardner at Pontiac
yesterday The cause of her death was
shrouded in mystery and it was not until
the arrival of Medical Ex miner Fifieid
that 1t was found that she had committed
suicide.
Last Friday the woman came 70 the
house and applied for admittance. She
was stupefied at the the time and seemed
AS though in dream. Her condition
gradually grew worse. and the efforts Of
the other inmates OF the house 70 r. lieve
her condition were unavailing. The
cause or her peculiar state could not be
ascertained and was very mysterious.
Eventually one of the inmates saw her
taking the contents of a small bottle and
she hastily took 1t away from her and
threw il away. The bottle was found TO
contain laudanum and the woman had
taken the greater part OF it before she
was disc ,vered
This was on Sunday, and immediatel y
relapsed into semi.conscious condi tion
and died early yesterday morning.
No cause for the suicide can be found.
The woman Is thought to have lived On
Otis street in this city.

BLACK HAWKS MAGNANiMITy.
aomsnes OF the Indian Wars or tho Early
Days.

Days.
After the repulse of the British and
Indians at Fort Stephenson in August,
1918, Black Hawk became disgusted
with the ill-fortune just then attending
the British arms and took summary leave
for Rock river, writes Irving Berdine
Riehman in the New England Maga-
zine. A party was sent by the Ameri-
cans TO follow him. The pursuit was
continued until the party became con-
fused by a multiplicity of trails, was
forced TO break up, and each man had
to look out for his ow n safety.
On emerging from a thicl1et one day
scout named Ki lbourn saw at dis
tance an Indian on his hands and knees
shaking his thirst at a spring. Instinct
lively the scout leveled his rifle and
pulled the trigger. The flint was shiv.
cred against the pan, but the priming
failed 10 ignite. The Indian recovered
himself and leveled his rifle at the scout.
He did not fire, however, but advanced
upon Kilbourn and made him prisoner.
Kilbourn then recognized his captor as
none other than Black Kawk himself.
"The white mole digs deep, but Maka-
taimeshekiakiak flies high and can see
far off," said Black Hawk TO the scout.
After some words 10 his band Black
Hawk informed Kilbourn that he had
decided TO adopt him into the Sauk
tribe. Constantly watchful for a
chance TO escape, at length, after three
years, he found il and regained civiliza-
ton.
During the Black Hawk war of 1882
Kilbourn was again scout in the serv.
ice of the government, and was cap
tured by Black Hawk at the battle of
Stillman's run. He nerved himself for
the torture which he felt certain must
now await him. Nor was he assured
in the least when Black Hawk, passing
close TO him, said in low tone:
'Does the mole think that Black
Hawk forgets?"
But, just before sunset of the day of
his capture, Black Hawk again came to
him, loosed the cords that bound him
to tree, and conducted him far into
the forest. Pausing, the Indian said:
II am going to send you back to your
chief, though 1 ought to kill you for
running away a long time ago, after
had adopted you as son; but Black
Hawk can forgive as well as fight"
