The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1910-06-26

There IS nothing that tends to
strengthen the confidence OF a COM
munity more than the erection of new
business buildings and the lettering
Iof those already established.
With a firm, mistaken faith in the
future of the city H. NJ Anschutz,
Keokuk's and Iowa's foremost photog-
rapher, has already completed plans
for the erection of handsome new
building in which he hopes to locate
his business by the first of September,
this year Across the street from the
present location OF his studio be-
tween Main and Blondeau on North
Fourth, workmen have already begun
the excavation of plot of ground 50x
80 feet and with the morrow, digging
will commence on the cellar.
The cost of the structure which is
to built by Mr.. Anschutz will be more
than $4,000. The main building will
be of pressed brick of the most at
tractive material and the cellar and
foundation will be of concrete. The
building firm of Griffey & Swan have
the contract for the erection Of this
newest of Keokuks handsome new
places of business.
Handsom. In Its Appearance.
The plans of the architect stand out
and give the onlooker an
idea of the appearance of the new
photograph gallery when finished. The
building for convenience and light ar
rangement which is the first consider
alton in putting up structure of this
kind, will be one-story edifice.
The entrance to the building will
be on Fourth street at the lower cor
1er of the structure, nearest to Main.
This entrance will be cut at an angle
with the rest of the building and will
be vestibuled Immediately after en-
trance is the reception room with tiled
flooring The waiting room which is
off the reception room will be roomy
affair and nothing quite like 1t las
ever been seen In this section of the
country. In fact Mr.. Anschutz's new
building will be one, the like
of which has not yet been planned and
erected by any other in the same bust
ness 1t will be arranged for complete
ness Of comfort of both patrons and
proprietor and will be up to date even
to the minutest detail.
Three large work rooms, the oper-
ating room, which will the largest. 2Sx
80 a store room at the rear, the dark
rooms and other accessories will COM
plete the room arrangement of the
main floor. A steam plant for heat
ing will be installed in the cellar and
part of this basement viii be used for
storing purposes.
Runors to the effect that Mr.. An
schultz was preparing to give up his
photograph business were recently cir
culated, but in a manner that meets
with approval from all sides he will
remain in Keokuk and his new and
beautiful building will add just an
other to the many handsome struc-
lures in the city.

comet rose at 1928 o'clock this morning

was a considerable interval between,
when the comet was not obscured by
too much light.
The comet is NOW growing quite a
large tail The comet itself, when first
picked up" was about the size of a
star OF the sixth magnitude, which is
about as small as can be seen with the
naked eye against the background of a
crear, dark sky.
1t is now as big as a star of the fifth
magnitude. The tail, at first Just a
1uzzy on one side, is now five degrees
long. 1t will be visible to the naked
sky.
