The Tower of David.

Ira D. Sankey, in an intesesting ar ticle of his trip through Palestine which appears ill the February De leaneqtor gives an entertaining de- scription of the Holy Land as he saw it. Concerning the Tower oi David, he says: From the top we behold one of the grandest and most interesting sights to be witnessed anywhere in the world. At our feet lay the city, its narrow streets, its mosques, its domes and temples; and beyond it's massive walls we could see Gethsemane, Calvary and Olivet; the valley of Jehosaphat, the vale of Ke- dron and the barren hills that sur round the city. In the far distance to the eastward we could see the River Jordan and the Dead Sea, with many other points of great biblical interest" The illustrations which ac- company the article are of unusual merit.

Sensational Suicide.

William J. Burns, a U. V. miner committed suicide Thursday night by the morphine route While em. ployed as a cook at McCabe, he be- came infatuated with a Mrs. Norris, the wife of snowman. The infatua. tion of young Burns was not displeas- ing to,the woman, as it finally led to the divorce court and her taking quarters with Burns. Lately they came to Jerome, he securing work at the mine, while the woman obtained a position in one of the saloons as a singer. Things went smoothly enough until another Don Juan ap- peared on the scene and supplanted Burns in the good graces of the tickle Mrs. Norris. It is learned that the discarded lover contemplated suicide in several forms, in all of which he and the woman were to play the lead ing role. He seemed possessed with the idea that if he could take the woman on the journey with him, his cup of earthly bliss would be filled to overhowing, while the woman object ed to the part assigned her, but offer ed no hindrance to the roll assigned him. Early Thursday night he went to her room armed with 50 cents worth of morphine, and not finding the woman at home, he took half of the drug. Hs was found later and medical assistance called. But noth- ing could be done for the ma1. Je- rome Reporter.

Dr. King who was arrested in Je- rome few days ago on complaint oi Mir. Smith, who is in charge of the branch bank of the Bank of Arizona for obtaining money under false pre-. lenses, had his hearing today before Justice Cornell, and was held to ap- pear before the grand jury under 5000 bonds. The Jerome Reporter speaking of the arrest says:
 Particulars of the unfortunate oc currence are not obtainable at this time, but it is supposed that tho trouble is the outgrowth of the fail ure of New York persons, who were tC finance the Grand Prize Mining enter prise, to keep faith in him.
 "The New Workers are responsible men with ample capital, and haC agreed to meet the expense incurred by Dr. King in work on the Grand Prize. Failure to realize on these promises caused the collapse of the Grand Prize deal, and left working men, merchants and others working for the company to hold the bag.
 ''ln his dealings here Dr. King has been uniformly square, and we sin cerely hope that the trouble may be adjusted"

NEW FLYING MACHINE.
Chicago Man Expects to Win the
 Worlds Fair Prize.

A new flying machine, with which the inventor expects to win the St. Louis worlds fair prize and even- tually to revolutionize present meth ods of locomotion, has been construc- ted by W. c. Horgan of Chicago. The device is equipped with wings and is built on novel principles. In stead of being fashioned after bird the four-winged alarming needle is used as a model, and it was from watching this insect, the inventor says, that he gained his idea for the construction of the machine. Twelve wings or more, equally divided on a small body, will be used to carry the machine, and the motive power is to be furnished by gasoline and hot-air engines. The framework is all made of aluminium and the wings may be constructed of the same material or of silk. The inventor has made several secret trials of his mnchine at night, and declares that it works to perfection.
 Morgan is brickmason by trade, and has studied civil engineering. For several months he has done noth- ing but work on his flying machine. He has now interested some of his friends in his invention, and stock company has been formed with S22,- 900 capital to develop the flying ma chine industry.
 1.-Two hundred and fifty miles an hour does not seem out of the way for speed" said Mir. Horgan today. "With few improvements I expect to be able to make 300 miles an hour"
