INDOOR CURLING.
ftan Franelsoe Beets te T ry New Game
With Weeden Btonee.
Scots are a canny lot. the world baa
alw ays realized, but a naw evidence of
their canniness has been dem onstrated
by those men of the Land o’ Cakes
who have made their homes In San
Francisco, says the New York Even­
ing Sun. These Scots have bad one
grievance since going to California,
and that was that rarely was there Ice
there of sufficient quantity or quality
to allow them their favorite sport of
curling. Therefore eou»e entbuabyss
conceived the idea of curling on roNsr
skating rinks, and, as the management
of such places could not be brought to
see the use of letting the heavy stones
whirl around on their floors. It m ss
necessary to devlso a “stone” that
would not tear a hardwood floor to
frazzles.
A little thought was productive of
one exactly like the real thing, only
made of lignum vitae, and to add to its
effectiveness the Inventors added a set
of three small rollers which project
slightly from the bottom of tho stone.
These rollers are ball bearing and turn
on a swivel, so th at their action Is de­
termined by the direction the stone
takes. The opening of the new game
Is to be marked by a tournament In
which a number of Scots Intend to ap­
pear In kilts and tartans, and with a
few pipers present the unnatural roarof
the stones down the floor may be offset
by the shrilling and walling of high­
land tunes.
RATHER “HIGH” VENISON.

Julius n auser, New York ita te treas­
urer, whom “the pee-^pul” transferred
from the ovens to the vaults, who used
to be a baker, is a Nimrod, although be
does not hunt with a brass band, says
the New York World. Mr. H auser Is
particularly anxious to keep secret the
facts concerning hls recent hunt the
opening day of the deer season on
Long Island.
Proudly Mr. H auser led hls compan­
ions tow ard the “deer,” draw ing hls
hunting knife to give the doe the coup
de grace If need be.

ture gave It, to drive aw ay Its enemies.
“Boys,” pleaded the state treasurer,
with deep emotion, “don’t don’t tell

don’t let It get In the newspapers.”
LONG HORSEBACK TRIP.- ’
Woman Aged Eighty-nine to Try a
Hundred Mile Ride.
On a wager Miss Annetta W ilbur of-
Marysvllle. O., elghty-nlne y e a n old,
will soon try to ride on horseback a
hundred miles to Hamilton, O.. says a
Marysville dispatch.
Despite her advanced age Miss Wil­
bur Is an enthusiastic horsewoman
and Is a member of the newly organ­
ised Bit and Spur club.
Some of the woman’s friends, also
members of the club. In commenting
upon her ability as a horsewoman de­
clared their belief she could not stand
a Journey of a hundred miles. She Im­
mediately took them up and wagered
a dinner for the club that she could
make the trip w ith ease.
Miss W ilbur’s friends tried to dis­
suade her from the undertaking, but
she was obdurate and Insisted on mak­
ing the w ager and fulfilling Its terms.

Shull the people of Oklahoma erect
an Ideal capital city, in which would
bo grouped ull tho state Institutions,
or shall they l»e distributed over the
state In separate locations, us a sort
of pap to each section? is a question
thut ia U ow being agitated throughout
tho new state, writes a Muskogee (I.
T.) correspondent of the Chicago Post.
Argument for the united plan pre­
sents tln/opportunity of building a city
th at would be the oqly one df Its kind
in the world, where every budding aud
its surround -ng group (Is could tie laid
out ou a pla 1 of absolute permanency
and with relation to its surroundings
and Its contei poiary st ile institutions.
This plan, it is asserted, would save
tho taxpayers of the state $3,000,000,
or $23 for each voter in tho state.
For the otlu r plan It is argued that
certain towns In the state would be
given one institution each, aud the
state would thereby divide its property
and extend n certain state interest to
the various counties where such Insti­
tutions were located«
Residents of cities where there are
hopes of lauding some stuto building
favor tho latter plan. The average
citizen, who has nd favorite town,
wants tile state buildings centralize«!
under the ideal city plan.
~Borne or ibe strongest men In the
state are working ou the Ideal capital
d ty plan. They propose to have the
state elect a nonpartisan commission
which shall have entire charge of the
work of building this city. It Is pro­
posed the state shall condemn two or
three townships ns a site within fifty
miles of the exact geographical cen­
ter and then let the commission se
lect the most advantageous city loca­
tion out of this prescribed area.
Expert engineers and architects
would be employed to lay out the sits
and place the grounds for each build­
ing in a general scheme with the oth­
er Institutions. Here would be locat­
ed the state capltol, the penitentiary,
the asylum, normal schools, agricultur­
al college, some of the experiment sta­
tions, school of mines and other Insti­
tutions supported or endowed by the
state. When all tho land necessary
for the state buildings should be segre­
gated the remainder could bo laid off
In town lots aud sokY/or residences or
business.
Conservative town site men say that
In this manner the state could sell at
the first snle $3.000,000 worth of lots,
which would be available for the con­
struction of the state buildings. By
other plans the taxpayers must pay
for the buildings. In addition to this,
as the city gretf additions could t>e
laid out and sold by the commission,
and the state would have a big Income
from t!»• ■;<> sales for many years.
In addition to the state buildings, the
commission would also control the
municipal property. The stato would
own and opernte nil street car, light,
water, telephone and other municipal
franchise properties. As the streets
are laid out water and sewer mains,
telephone aud telegraph wires ure to
be laid under the streets In coudults,
and the street once made would sel­
dom hare to be dls|url»ed—In other
words, as the city bullded It would
conform as near us possible to modern
methods and requirements.
To carry this plan Into effect It will
be necessary for the legislature to call
nu election for the people to vote the
needed power to a commission or other
body to have charge of the proposition.
It Is believed tiiat the first state legis­
lature will consider Much a call.
Tho enabling act provides that the
state cajdtnl »hall remain at Guthrie
until 1013. Thip gives live years for a
decision as to a ‘permanent capital.
This would also give (line In which
