WILL SURPASS
E|FFEL. TOWER

An English company has applied
for a concession to erect at the
jamestown Exposition tower,
which will surpass in height the
famous Tour Eiffel of Paris, which
for II years has ranked as one of
the wonders Of the world.
This lofty structure, though it
will be situated nearly 90 miles from
the sea coast, may be seen by captains
of the coast steamers plying the At
lantic. Ten thousand or more in
candescent lights will be attached TO
the tower and mammoth search
light placed at its apex will bathe
the tower for miles around with
bright light.
1t will require no less than six re-
laws of elevators to reach the top.
These various lifts as they are call
ed in England, will terminate at
platforms or stories, where it will be
necessary to change cars. The cable
required for each series of elevators
will be not less than $50 feet long,
or equal to the length required for a
fair-sized skyscraper.
The company planning this
gigantic enterprise have also under
contemplation scheme of amuse-
ments to be located on the several
different floors, and they purpose
making the tower a veritable exposi-
ton in itself. When it is realized
that today seventeen wears after the
Eiffel masterpiece of engineering
was reared, it is still a profitable in
vestment, ii will be imagined what
interest will be created by this
lofticr structure.

lUTHERAA6
WILL BUILD

At their congregational meeting
Sunday the Lutherans of this city
empowered the trustees of st.
Marks church to close the deal
whereby they have come into pos
session Of lot No. 1s in the Jackson
block lying between Main and Pike
streets. This lot 50x12o feet, cor
ners on Coal street and Meigs avenue
Lying in one of the best residential
sections of the city with no other
Protestant church within half
dozen blocks, it is q most valuable
location for a church.
The Lutherans are not yet GER
tain when they will build. A state
IL, handsome structure, a fit memor-
al to the late DR.. S. G. Barnitz, will
most likely be the final decision OF
those interested.
A little more than year ago uh-
der the supervision of Rev. T. B.
Yeakley, a Lutheran congregation
was organized at Grasselli. A beau
tiful church building was erected
and dedicated few months ago.
The energetic congregation is now
preparing to cancel the last small
Indebtedness. The congregation in
Clarksburg was organized less than
year ago and its membership has
reached nearly half hundred. The
outlook for Lutheranism in this city
Is very encouraging.
The Ladies' Guild, which has
been doing most faithful work, is
making an effort to bring Mrs. Mon
roe in her "Story of the Reforma-
ton play here early in October.

SAVED mI life

That's what a prominent
dr. u g,gi st said of SCOTS
Emu a short time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public.
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying inn
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality. and repairing
waste. The &C tion of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
,ment that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain SCOTS

from it.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.
A. G. Rhoads Dies at Denver, Aged
Seventy.

Denver, Colo-The ranks of Colo
radios pioneers were thinned once
more by the death Tuesday night of

Mr.. Rhoads was fishing a few days
ago on the Laramie river at Glen Davy,
sixty-fve miles west of Fort Collins, in
company with his cousin, H. A. Hixer,
who had come from Ashtabula, o., es-
pecially to go with him on the excur-
sion. While in the midst of the sport
the veteran pioneer was suddenly
taken with violent recurrence of a
chronic intestinal trouble and came
very close to death on the wagon trip
to the railroad. He survived long
enough to reach his home Tuesday in
this city, but passed away Tuesday
night at 10:30, surrounded by all the
relatives he has with the exception Of
one sister.
Alonzo G. Rhoads was born in Pier
pont, Ashtabula county, Ohio, Decem,

such proportions that in October of
1879 he came to Denver and continued
in the business.
During the civil war he enlisted in
Co. M. Third Colorado cavalry and
since was a member Of Lincoln Post,
G. A. r., in Denver.
He served two terms as president of

he was treasurer of the Colorado HUI
name society and a director of the AS.
sociated Charities.
His widow survives him, there being
no children, ard he is also survived
by his three brothers, J. M, Halsey,

Gallup Commercial Club.

On Wednesday of last week a meeting of the citizens of Gallup resulted in the organization of a commercial club. The Gallup Re- publican says:
 "During the evening the intents and purposes for which the club was formed were talked over, and it was decided to begin at once a campaign to let people who live in other parts of the country know that Gallup is on earth and lies in a country which abounds in many natural resources that have not been developed to any great extent.
 'The club will entertain by ban quet or otherwish parties who may come to Gallup to look into the re- sources of the district and explain to them what there is here and what capital judiciously invested would do in the way of returning dividends. Letters descriptive of the country will be sent out broad cast over the land and everything possible will be done to keep the name of Gallup and Mckinley county before the investing public of the United States.
 "The club has hard work cut out for it; this is a country of many natural resources, mineral and ag- ricultural and it is up to the com mercial club to let the outside world know what there is here. If the club keeps up it's present en- thusiasm it will be but a few months before substantial returns will be realized."
 A club of this sort would be a good thing for Williams. Why not organize here?

To secure addi- tional control for this quadrangle and adjacent areas line of levels was run from Apex Siding to Will Hams, along the Grand Canyon railroad. and by way of Ash Fork to Jerome Junction along the San ta Fe railroad. Between Williams and Jerome Junction the precise level was used. Early in January 1905, Mir. John P. Walker, United States Surveyor, began to survey the boundary of the Chiricahua Reserve. He continued the work until the early part of May, when the entire line, consisting of 91 1-2 miles, was completed and marked with iron posts. In connection with the establishment of the boun- dary, 10 1-2 miles of public land lines were run.

RIFLE DUELIST DIES.
Texan Falls By the Hand of a
 Graham County Mormon.

Various papers have contained articles relative to the duel which occurred at Douglass on Feb. 19. The following from the Interna- tional-American shows it to have been a fierce proceeding:
 There had been bad blood for some time between the two men, which resulted in a fight, the result of which still fingers in Webb's bloodshot eyes.
 Both men were expecting trouble when they next met. and when the meeting took place at point about half way between the Clifton saloon and the home of Webb's sister, Mrs. J. c. Thomas, the affair came off.
 Brice was riding towards the Thomas house when seen by Webb, who came out of the house and ad- vanced toward Brice. Brice slid from his horse and the shooting be- gan, both men firing their repeat ing rifles rapidly After each man had fired five shots Brice was dis abled by soft nose bullet striking his right arm, near the shoulder, ] and shattering it to the wrist. There was short pause in the firing, and then Webb fired again with careful aim. The soft-nose bullet from Webb's gun struck Brice in the cor ner of the left eye, and came out at the base of the ear, apparently tear ing away a great part of the left side of his face. He fell to the ground, but presently arose and staggered down the road towards the Clifton saloon. He again fell arose and staggered on; turned and looked at Webb with his uninjured eye and then, satisfied that Webb had ceased firing, he reeled on to- wards the saloon.
 There is story that the row was about girl, a, relative of Brice's with whom Webb wished. to "keer company"
 Brice died later while Webb was taken into custody.
