Edwards 1.00 Total $193.50 The subscriptions to the buffalo fund now amount to nearly $200. If half the school children in this city would give ten cents for the purpose the remainder of the money needed would be raised, and the children and young people would have the satisfaction of knowing that they helped to build the zoological garden at Riverside park. It is entirely appropriate that the school children should have a real interest in this buffalo. It would be a small task for teachers to receive subscriptions from the students in their charge and forward the amounts either to The Beacon or to Park Commissioner Sam Stewart. The name of every school student who contributes to this fund will be printed along with the other subscribers even if the amount of the contribution is not more than ten cents.

The books are still open at The Beacon office and subscriptions are licited from everybody to help raise the $700 for this park enterprise. A HAPPY DAY FOR OLD SOLDIERS Fighting the Civil War Over at Annual G. A. R. Encampment.

THE BARBERS ARE KICKING Think the Police Are Overdoing the "Clear -the -Walk" Order--A Suggestion About Signs. The barber shops of the city have been ordered to take their signs off the walk completely--not only from the outer edge of the walk, but likewise from their immediate door posts. They naturally feel that this is overdoing the city's order to clear the walks. One barber offered the following sensible suggestion: "If this city is going to seek to improve the appearances of the down town district, why do the officers still allow people hang their signs out over the walks, not only disfiguring the street, but adding danger as well." THE QUARTET OF BOOSTERS.

Guthrie Leader. Sings Some Warm of Them. The Guthrie Leader says of the Wichita Booster quartet: The Wichita male quartet appeared in a genuine novelty--a bell ringing act. It was not one of the brassy, professional sort, but their work was beautiful and well out of the amateur class. They first played "The Holy City," in a delightful manner and wound up with "How Dry I Am." Called again by the enthusiastic crowd they put one over on a newly married booster by singing, "Has Anybody Seen Will's House?" Will was there, all right, and he was forced to bow to the crowd.
