Bryant and Lyda Richards, There were more than 300 guesses between the amounts of $73 and $71 The majority of the many thousands of guesses, ranged from $50 to $80, jyet one was 25 cents with another reached $36,000. It is difficult to estimate the exact number of guesses made. The task of counting is so col- iossal that the Pfeifler's will not unterl it. W. L.o Braerton, teller of the State link of Parsons and Luther at the First National bank, counted the money and checked the tickets.

These young men had a task Ion their hands that lasted over two hours. Their well known reputations for honesty and their abilities in han- dling business, leaves no room for doubt concerning the correctness of their decision. There were many pecularities con nected with this guessing, -one of which was the fact that ninety-three persons guessed the amount of $99.99. Another was the fact that the one in dividual thought all those pieces in nlain view must be counterfeit and placed the amount at 25 cents. Every Ibody, including Pfeiffer themselves, seem -to be satisfied with the result and there has been much comment on the result, by those who imagine 1 that there was a bank role hidden within the interior of the Jar.

FORM All ORGANIZATION Past Resolutions Condemning Pro posed State Supervision and Fav oring County and Township-Call Upon the Legislators. The first expressed opposition In Labette county to CoL Moore's scheme for state supervision of high ways, comes from road district No. 2 in Liberty township.

At Center school house, on Monday mass meeting was held, in the interest of good roads, at which the plans as proposed by the National association were condemned as being expensive and Impracticable. The general senti ment was for a change in the present road law and in favor of a higher road tax being levied, that the matter grading receive closer attention and that better drainage be afforded. The meeting, by almost unanimous expression, favored the macadamizing of highways, only In such places where a good dirt road seems to be Impracticable. It also favors placing a man in each township, whose du ties it shall be to travel over the roads at Rtatprt Intervals and Initnppf the! condition of culverts and bridges, stop washes in the road and perform such other duties as setmed neces sary. The meeting was very enthusiastic and the report Is that others of a similar nature will be held in other parts of the county.

Unanimous ac- tion by any county, along these lines, would seriously handicap the good marts mnuemenf na Inamniratori hv the national association, and now re- ceiving the support of the government and Jeading railways of the United States. This meeting, by resolution, haa railed iinnn ahptte nAiintv'n rcn. resentatives in the legislature, to ex- ert their influence against such a measure as will probably be lntroduc- ei.

Even one mile of road mav reouire several different materi- Is and methods of construction. 'We favor working the roads by township rather than by road dis-1 tricts.

There may have been colder weath er, than that which prevailed last night but the oldest inhabitants don't remember any such performance and he doesn't want to. It was cold all day yesterday, and kept getting colder toward evening until the mer cury last night went down to ten de grees below sero and remained in that neighborhood until late this morning, and even the sun which shone brightly, had but little effect on the weather. People sitting by their warm fires had no Idea of the cold weather that was prevailing out of doors, and those who were tempt ed out by the bright sunlight had good grounds for a suit for obtaining their presence ob the streets under false pretenses. The Sun has been blamed for the present cold wave that struck this part of the earth squarely between the eyes yesterday and is still striking it when it Is down and 'hollering enough. But the Sun ia frank to say that it didn't know it was loaded at least not both barrels.

It is all a hor rible mistake. When the Sun ordered its cold wave last Saturday evening to arrive Sunday night It wasn't for a full consignment but only for a sam pie, but somebody has. left the back door of Manitoba open and we have got the whole thing, and we are frank to say that if this keeps up much longer the preachers will find that their doctrine of an orthordox hell has com? attractions to the average person who ia compelled to face this north wind.

A few months ago every newspaper Kansas had something to say re garding the death of "Muskogee Red" one of the best known tramp printers the middle west, and a reminant of that class of rlsts are iU 71Z ery printing office in Kansas paid tr bute to "Red's" unquenchable tnirst for booze, and he had probably seen the inside of more city jails than any other man in Kansas, not even except ing Carrie Nation. His only crime was against himself anl he never paid a fine but when jailed would send to the printing office and some printer, or perhaps the owner of the oaper would go to the police and intercede in his behalf.

Borowlng a last quarter from his savior Muskogee Red would shake the dust of that town off his feet and mingle with the landscape far henceward. But now comes a report from Cof-feyvill? that Muskogee Red is not dead. According to the Record tourist Drinter blew that office Sunday and stated that "Red" was alive and well in theFort Gibson Jail and that he had occupied the same cell with him for several days. When news was first given out concern the noted printers death, the pap throughout Kansas ard the Indian Territory commented on the mans at length. "Dodd Gaston," the On Second Thought" man on the To peka Capital, wrote a half column article on the good and bad In "Red." If noted print is not dead, it is safe saying that he will not have as many nice things said about tlm until dies again.
