The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-10-16

Thirty-one years ago Lyman Jen-
nings, then fifty-nine years old went to
the selectmen OF Athol, where he then
resided, and proposed to give $4,000
outright to the town, on the condition
that Athol pay him six per cent. inter
est as long as he lived, and continue
after his death to pay his widow $3.50
year, and each of his three children
1920 year, an amount equal to that
which Jennings would receive yearly
during his lifetime.
The town fathers agreed to the bar
gain, their decision being based upon
the figures Of an insurance table as to
the average longevity OF the five bene-
ficiaries.
But much to the surprise Of the
shrewd selectmen, instead of living only
14.7 years, according to their table of
statistics, Jennings continued to draw
the annuity Of $40 until last year, when
he had exceeded the average insurance
longevity by sixteen years.
The town had returned to the old
man during his lifetime for the $4,000
loaned, the sum of $40, 200, and this
year the sum of $500 had to be set
aside for the widow and his one re-
naming child, now fifty years of age,
and in the best of health.
Still bound by the contract, Athol
will be hereafter compelled to pay $500
per year, in addition to the &c.,
already paid, as long as Mrs. Jennings
and Mrs. Stratton live. Letter to
Pittsburg Sun.

Will Not Make Clean Sweep

Olympia-That S. G. Cosgrove.
whose election to the Office of Gov
ernor is considered next to a GER
tainty, will not make a clean sweep
of the Mead appointees now in Office,
has come to be quite generally con-
coded.
]. L. Mohundro, of Seattle, form
erly receiver of the Land Office at
Walla Walla, it is claimed by men
close to Cosgrove, has good chance
of landing an appointment to the
railroad commission.
AS to the tax commission, some OF
Mr. Cosgrove's close advisors are urg-
ing the retention of ]. E. Frost, OF
Ellensburg, who was one of the orig
inal appointees to the commission.
Matt Piles, the third member OF
the board of control, who Is a brother
of United States Senator Piles, will
likely remain on the board II Sena.
tor Piles requests it.
1t is claimed here that A. F. KEGS
will undoubtedly go back to the po-
sition of superintendent of the peni-
Tertiary, succeeding G. 8. Reed. Mr..
KEGS was one of Governor Mead'a
first appointees, he having removed
F. A. Dryden to make KEGS the head
of the penitentiary. Mr.. KEGS was
later removed principally as the re.
suit of the registering of a number
of employees of the penitentiary In
the city of Walla Walla during q
heated municipal campaign.
Another position so far disposed
of by political gossip is that of State
Printer. This, it is said, will go to
Eugene Lorton, editor of the Walla
Walla Bulletin, who conducted a
strong newspaper campaign for Mr..
Cosgrove in that section of the state.

A Strange Contract

Because of one of the strangest con-
tracts ever entered into by the town
fathers of New England community
and one of its citizens, Mrs. Lyman
Jennings and her daughter, Mrs. Her
bert L. Stratton, both of Orange,
Mass, will receive an annuity from the
town OF Athol as long as they live.
Each year when this pension is set
aside by the selectmen of Athol, the
latter have occasion to lament the bar
gain arranged between the town and
Lyman Jennings, thirty-one years ago.
The Jennings annuity" as the gift
is now known, has become the source Of
much interest and discussion among
the financial experts OF the state.

death of her parents, when her step

and then killed himself, and cared
for through the efforts of county Of

years old, started last week for
Texas, where her grandparents live.

Vancouver, burned to the ground
with 100000 feet of rough lumber
last week. A tramp who went to
sleep in an outbuilding dropped some
live ashes from a pipe, setting fire
to a pile of dry shavings. The loss
is estimated at $4,000, with no in
surance.
The employees of the mill had re-
tired for the night and the first
known of the blaze was when the
tramp, who ran away before anyone
could capture him, gave the alarm.
