CURf[W ORDINANCE PASSED,
Youths of City Must be at Home at
Nine O'clock.

At the regular meeting of the city
council this month very strict curfew
ordinance was passed which will COM
pei parents to take better care of the
boys and girls under fifteen years of
age. For some time there has been
growing complaint on the part of the
parents and authorities over the chill
dren roaming about the streets at
night, attracted by the various amuse-
ments going on while the parents
sometimes waited in vain for the de-
linquents to come home. The council
in response to the demand for some
remedy has passed an ordinance that
requires every boy and girl under the
age of fifteen to be at home or if on
the streets to be under the care of the
parent or guardian. The law will be
rigidly enforced.
The full text of the ordinance will
be found on another page of this issue

Pixies Peak. Kansas.
II is not Il far cry back to tho time
when the geography wrote 1t down
that way. And the geography was
correct. For there are any numbe,
OF men vet living in that state and i'm
Kansas City who are able to remcm-
her when Pixies Peak WAS in Kansas
When the Kansas territory was or
sanizcd in 1854 by the Ne
hraska bill it made the western boun-
dairy the summit of the Rocky noun
tains.
"Heginning ut a point on the west
crn boundary of the state of Mis-

eastern boundary of Now Mexico;
thence north on said boundary to lati,
tudc rs, thence following said bound

Rocky mountains"
There YOU have tho southern line
of Kansas as ii was first laid out.
Thc western boundary followed the

AIRY of Montana. and from that point
back t" the Missouri river.
In that day the hope of America,

Il grade of 100 per cen upon this an
swcr from II "f the tex books:
The territory OF Kansas is bound

Nebraska, on the east by Missouri. on
the south in part by the line of 81
and on the west by the highest ridg,
of the Rocky mountains"
Within these boundary lines We're

every mile of il during the seven
Years it was controlled by Kansas was
interesting and entertaining. The dis
tanco from eastern Kansas tn western

ton facilities nf that day. admitted
of no communication, so that civiliHa-
ton checked its baggage only to To-
pcka. and later ON as far as l1t. Riley.
THAT answered thu" purpose of the
men who were crossing the continent
from New England to- make Kansas
