M unger The Journal is pleased to note the progress of any former citizen of this place' who haa left here and made good in any new field and for this reason It Is glad to note the suc cess of A. L. Munger formerly of this city, and Jas. P. Campbell, a brother of former county treasurer D. A. Campbell of this county. A copy of the Bartlesvllle (Okla.) Daily Enterprise, handed In by Hon. R. B. I Windham, contains a flattering no- tlce of these two gentlemen who have been located at the town of Copan near the Oklahoma-Kansas line and who have gone Into the 1 1 .

L. Munger, cashier of the HanK or fopan, and a heavy opera- tor in the oil and gas fields, besides being Identified with other important local Interests. His ability and progressive methods have brought mm both wealth and position, for he ranks among the best financiers In the state." After detailing some of Mr. Munger's extensive business con- nections the Enterprise says: "He has traveled extensively throughout the world and is a cultured and af- rabie gentleman. Of Mr. Campbell the paper says: One or the younger men of the state and under cash In hand. Two per who have attained prominence In the cent discount for cash. All prop oil and gas business is Jas.

Another Cold Night. Iast night was not much of an Imorovement on the weather con- dltlons so far as cold was con- cemed and this morning there were even more complaints of frozen pipes than the morning before. To add to the Inconvenience of the sit- uatlon there was quite a little fall of snow although not enough to do any serious damage or make trouble for railroads. The cold last night was deceptive, After the high wind of the night be- fore It seemed to be warm and many were fooled by this only to find this mornlng when they awoke that they were confronting a condition and not a theory in the matter of broken water pipes. The minimum temperature lasts night is placed at about twelve to fourteen degrees below zero very nearly as low as night before. It has warmed up some today and thls afternoon Is pleasanter. The general belief is that the backbone of the cold snap Is broken and that warmer weather will rule from now on. Preparations are under way for cutting Ice from the bayous and branch streams although the Mis- sourl River opposite the city Is still open. It Is more than probable ice cutting will commence tomorrow, several of the icemen making their arrangementB with this end in view. All over Nebraska reports are that! for a beautiful. calendar.,; , me com is extreme ueanjr rvi; town reporting ' temperatures rang fng from ten to twenty degrees be low zero, with considerable snow fall." ' Reports from the northwest and north are that the cold there Is far more Intense than here. St. Paul shivered all day yesterday with a minimum of twenty-five degrees be low whllo Reglna, Canada, held a record of forty below, Winnipeg stood at thirty-two below, Devil's Lake, N. D., at thirty and most other Dakota and Minnesota points be tween twenty-five and thirty, Denver was on the southwest edge of the wave with zero temperature and the south line ran through cen tral Kansas with zero markliigH. Oklahoma thermometers stood six to ten above. Texas Pan-Handle points report eight to fifteen above. Today probably marks the passing of the wave In the west and the cli max In the east and south east. l'or.Kale or Kent.
