The guessing on the number of pins
in the Jar that was the Western Wooden
mill booth at the Auditorium has ended.
There were 10.1S1 pins in the jar. The
first prize. a ladies' tailor made skirt.
was won by Miss Gladys Cunningham
of 316 West Gordon street. who guessed
1O,1S0 W. 2. Bradshaw captured the
second prize, a pair of all wool blankets,
with the guess of 1S5. The third prize,
81 in merchandise at the mill. was
awarded to H. N. Gilman. whose guess
was 1910.
People living on West Sixth have a
scheme for paving the four blocks be-
tween the end of the brick pavement
and the beginning Of the macadam
pavement. The residents along this
street offer TO bear one-third Of the ex-
pense Of paving, if the city and county
will divide the other fwo-tTlirds. This
would give a continuous line of pave
ment to Cages park. It is doubtful
whether the city has the right to so
into a combination paving scheme such
as this. and it is still more doubtful
whether the council would vote to spend
the money even if it had the right.
Some repair work will have to be
done before long in order to preserve
the Washburn macadam road in any
condition of usefulness for the farmers
living southwest of town. That part Of
the road beginning at Boswell avenue
at the end of the Washburn car line
is in fairly good condition, having be-
come thoroughly packed and solid and
having no deep ruts. but il. is badly in
need Of leveling in many places where
the crushed stone was carried away on
muddy wagon wheels before it became
settled. It is the short piece of road
laid only last year to connect the
Washburn pavement with the country
road that needs attention most. 1t has
never become packed and is wearing
deep into the loose stone already. The
city and county bore the cost of this
road equally.

The following is from a Kansas City
paper:
Carrie Nation believes she is a de-
scan6ant of the DuJxe of Argvle at one
time a mighty warrior of Scotland. Her
claim was made after she inspected a
print purchased by her brother. Camp
bell A. Moore, a dealer in second hand
goods in Kansas City. Kas. The print
is a Iithograph and it represents a group
of Scottish chiefs in council on the
banks of a lake. On the lower margin
of the print there is a verse of poetry
and the names of the chieftains por-
trayed In the left hand corner Camp
bell. Duke of Argyle. is represented.
When the matter was brought to the
notice of Carrie Nation she said she
knew. she had descended from the Duke
of Argyle. but that she had refrained
from making the fact public because of
the fear of adverse criticism.
