- Suddenly at Omaha
The unexpected and Bad Intelli
gence was received here this morn
ing of the death of a former Platts
mouth citizen In the person of Alex
Clifton at Omaha. No particulars
were received aside from a tele
phone message from the widow to
Frank Robinson stating that he had

Mrs. Clifton asked Mr. Robertson to
come up there and he and his daugh

Oklahoma Paper Has Good Words
For A. L. 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

uaniung, ou ana gas Dusiness. ur
Mr. Munger, the Enterprise says in
part Among the citizens of Copan
who by unanimous choice would be
accorded a leading place as a bus-
iness man and financier, and as one
wno nas been most prominent in I
aiding in the development of the
town and the promotion of her inter-
ests is A. 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. P. Camp- erty must be settle for before being
bell of Copan. Mr. Campbell
Is but twenty-six years of age, and
but Just six years from college, yet he
has achieved a position and name
among financiers thRt might well
be envied by many older financiers.

great credit upon both gentlemen.
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.
