LEAvENwoRTH IS FIRM.
Council Believes in Getting Something
for Franchises.


Leavenworth, Kan. Sept. 29.-The
application for a new twenty year
franchise of the Leavenworth Light &
Heating company. which owns the gas
and electric light plants here, was con-
sidered by the council. An ordinance
submitted at a previous meeting was
amended by cutting down the price of
street arc lights from $S4 a year to
$40. cutting the price of electricity to
consumer to twelve cents a kilowat;
requiring that natural gas be sold at
from thirty to forty cents 1000 feet;
that the company be required to fur
nish meters free and to pay for an
inspector appointed by the city and
that in addition the company give the
city 100000 bonus, to be paid in
twenty annual instruments. The rep
resentative of the company refused to
accept these provisions or consider
them and walked out of the council
chamber as the votes were taken on
the final amendment. The franchise
of the company expires a year from
next April.
The Leavenworth Light & Heating
company has arranged to furnish nat
ural gas here and the connection with
a pipe line from Bonner Springs and
the city mains will be made in October.
The representatives of the company
say that they can furnish natural gas
under the present franchise without
waiting to secure a new one. 1t is be-
! lieved that natural gas will be in use
here By November 1.

CANNIBAL FEAST.
Two Native Traders Waylaid and
Slaughtered for Food.

Victoria, B. c., Sept. 29.-News of
cannibal feast by blacks at Mallicol
was received yesterday by the Miowera.
Two natives of Moskelyn island were
trading when they were waylaid near
Miowera by cannibals: they were
slaughtered and their bodies carried to
a coast village where they were opened
as game and prepared for a feast.
The bodies were placed in a native
canoe and as the nurderers were leav-
ing they incurred the suspicion of NJ.
Viogorez, a French trader. The natives
told MIN they had killed some pigs and
the Frenchman let them go. 1t subse-
quently transpired that the tribes were
assembled and feast OF human flesh
was held. White settlers learned of this
and under pressure it was admitted that
they had roasted the bodies and de-
voured the arms and legs of the I'M
fortunate men.

EmpOria College Will Meet
Washburn in Topeka.

Both Teams Appear Weaker
Than Last Year.
Sons of Ichabod Ought to Win
Easily However.

Saturday afternoon at $3.50 the
opening college football game of the
season will be played on the Washburn
athletic field between the College of
Emporia and Washburn.
indications are that there will be a
big crowd out for the game. An en-
thusiastic meeting was held Thursday
morning at the Washburn chapel and
zoo tickets were issued to the students.
These tickets are good for the entire
season, and this insures the presence
of the entire student body at all games.
The Washburn students have seats in
a body in the west bleachers.
One section of the west bleachers
has been reserved for Topeka people
for the game tomorrow. These seats
are all reserved by number, and can
be purchased at Stansheld's. Each
ticket is issued for a special seat this
year. which is different from the sys-
tenn in past years, when person had
to take his or her chances on getting
a good location in the grand stand.
All of the movable bleachers have
been transferred TO the west side of the
field, and will be available for use at
this game.

OUT OF INFECTED DISTRICT.
No Detention Camps May Be Built
Along Kansas Border.

According to the findings of the hos
pital service of the United States, Kan
sas is out of the yellow fever infected
district and no infection camps can be
established along it's borders.
The hospital service has addressed
the passenger agents of the railroads OPP
Grating in southern territory advising
them that under the national quarantine
laws they would not be permitted to sell
tickets to any person coming from an
infected district and desiring to go into
territory which is infectible. The latter
has been defined by the federal authori-
ties as being south of a line running
from Washington through Charlotte,
Spartanburg. Atlanta. Huntsville, then
north to Vincennes, Ind, and then west
to the state line between Missouri and
Arkansas, and then westward along
that line to the border of the two states.
The railroad authorities addressed are
cautioned that under the national regu-
lations no ticket should be sold to a
person coming within the terms of the
order, who had not been absent from
infected territory for at least six days,
and that satisfactory proof of such alb
sence should be required in all cases.

Emporia substitutes: w. Culberton, Snod-
dy, Lalovette, Rankin, Lyons, Wilson
Washburn substitutes: Robb, Brockett
Templeton. l. Haughey, Hope, Johnson,
D. MunfoTd, Snattinger, Hartzel, Book.
The officials for the game have not
yet been chosen, but it is not anticipa-
ted that there will be any difficulty in
arriving at an agreement.
In the lineup of the Emporia players,
as sent in by their manager. there are
six men who were in last years game
They are Payne, Everett. Marble, A.
CuIbertson, Edison and W. Culbertson,
though w. CulbertSOn is now on the
substitute list. Last year he played
fullbacl..
Payne who played right end last
year, is at right half this year. Edison
has been shifted from left half to right
end. Everett has moved from center 20
tackle, and Marble and Culbertson are
still playing the positions they held
last season.
three men who played the star game
for Emporia last season. They are
Clint Simpson, the 217 pound tackle,
Kirk the negro halfback, and Lehman,
who was at end last year, and made
lot of trouble for the Washburn inter-
ference. In the game last year, S1mp-
son and Kirk were about the only men
on the Emporia team who could gain

and that Washburn ought to have a
comparatively easy victory, though the
score last year was 10 to 0.
On the other hand, Washburn's team
is very different from the one which
met Emporia on September 80 of 1904
The following men who played in that
game will not play tomorrow Stewart
Louthan, Dadisman, Lakin, Thrailkil,
AdfIlice, Caldwell, Cunningham.
Several new men will be given a
chance in the Washburn line. One is
Ware, a husky youth who was in
school last year but did not play. An
other is Lockwood, who may be given
try at tackle.
Williams will be shifted to fullback
for this game. 1t is likely that this
will be a temporary arrangement, as
Williams is needed at tackle. But as
Caldwell is ineligible for this game,
which is under Topeka conference
rules, and as Millice has not yet re-
turned to school, the backheld will be
about the same as it was in the Tope-
ka high school game. Williams has
been shifted back there to give it more
weight. Williams is playing very
fast game this year, and would go well
at fullback as a permanent thing.
1t is said that Millice Will probably
be back from Chicago within the next
day or two. His parents state that he
has no intention of ala nding Chicago
university, but that he will be enrolled
at Washburn within few days.
Even without Caldwell and Millice to
add speed to the backfeld Washburn
y should win the game tomorrow by a
score of upwards of 20 to o.

Copper on Hutchinson lsIsnd.
Valdez, Sept. 2O.-A deposit Of pea
cook copper orc has been discovered on
Hinchinbrook island which shows un-
mistakable evidences Of having been
worked at some time BY the Russians.
The location Of the mine was known
to one Of the aged natives Of Tatetlik,
but heretofore he has refused positive
" 10 take any white men to the spot,
claiming that he was q participant in
q killing which took place there sew
eral years ago, and was afraid TO 10
turn.
Walter Holland, Jim Beatson and
John Dehart finally persuaded the old
man that 1t would be safe to accom-
pany them, and he led them to place
on Hinohinbrook island where q ledge
Of peacock copper ore had been opened
up and worked by the Russians. The
old tools and the shaft, with the tim
bers nearly all decayed, oorroborated
the story Of the mine having been
worked many years ago.
This party did considerable prospect
ing in the neighborhood, and report
that the deposit is very large one,
there being apparently whole noun
tain Of ore. It has been located and
will be further developed.
