Passing of the Saloons Leaves
LeavenWOrth in Darkness.
After October / Every Are Lamp
in Town Shut Off.
FINANCES ARE Low.
4 Reduction in the Officers
Salaries Is Also Made.
But Worst of All the Garbage
Wagons Are Abolished.

Leavenworth, Kan, Sept 3o--After
October 1 every arc light in Leaven-
worth will be shut off. This is the
decision of the council, made at the
last meeting. The reason assigned is
the straitened financial condition of the
city. 1t is intended that the electric
lights will be replaced by gas lamps
though IL is not known just when this
will be done. 1t is said that there IS
q possibility that the downtown lights
paid for by the electric line company
will continue to burn but even theses
according to the resolution which pass
ed the council, will be cut off.
The resolution abolishing arc lights
originally read that all arc lights ex-
cepting those paid for by railways or
otherwise were to be cut off after Oc-
fober 1 on account of the citys dnan-
claI condition: but E s. Springer. sup
erfntendent Of the Leavenworth Light
and Heating company, said that 1t
would be impossible to furnish only a
few lights on circuit where previous
" there were many. without altera-
lions and asked that all lights, tnclud-
ing those paid for by railways or other
wise. be cut out, so that the company
would be given an opportunity to make
new bids for railway lamps. The reso-
Luton was so amended.

Indians are lighter this year than they
have been on previous seasons but are
very fast especially in the. backf1eld.

weeks, but at that time the results were
accomplished with secrecy. Mine OPP

the last movement are becoming ap-

The basis price of go per cent zinc
ore the past week ranged from $3S to
$40 per ton. with a top price OF s44 for
