Nearly Thirty-Three Thousand Eagle
 Pennies.

friendly wager was made about two months ago between Charles Buchholz and John Dieter that the one who should during March and April collect the largest number of eagle pennies should forfeit to the others order four kegs of lager, two boxes of ci- gars, and supper for seventy five friends. Both set to work indus triously, got their skirmishers out and raked in the glitterfng nickels with all possible dis patch. Monday evening each came up smiling, confident that he was to enjoy an epicurean feast at the others expense. Coun- ters and a referee were selected, and the weary task of counting began. Jacob Miller and Fred Thomas were the tellers for MT. Buchholz, Councilman Henry Goebel and William Bristol filling the office for Mr. Dieter. All night Monday and until nearly 10 o'clock last night the weary counters worked before the eyes of MT. Clarence Will COX as referee and when the result was de- clsred it was found that MT. Buchholz had won, his collection figuring up 16, 475 pennies against 16, ,314 for MT. Dieter. The count was watched by friends of the parties who were quite impartial in their backing, scent ing as they did 8 royal celebration no matter who came out with the biggest heap of nickels to his credit.
 Later in the evening Rosinus' band called around to MT. BuchhoIzs saloon and sere- naded the successful collector, who invited them in and entertained them until midnight.
