POLK MAKES DENIAL
Acting Secretary Says Lusitania Note
Has Not Been Accepted.

Washington, Oct. 19.-The last
German memorandum to this govern
ment. proposing certain terms for the
settlement of the Lusitania sinking,
has not been accepted by the United
States, Acting Secretary of State Polk
formally announced today. Polk
made this announcement because of
published reports that the memoran-
dunn had been accepted and would be
used as a basis for a final settlement.
These reports stated that Germany
reiterated her contention that the tor
pedoing of the Lusitania was justi-
fable, but admitted the loss of Amer
lean lives was unjustifiable and eX-
pressed regret and promised financial
reparation.
1.-The note has not been accepted"
said Polk, land it will not be made
public. Stories that it has been ac-
copied and would be published were
printed for partisan purposes. The
state department is not going to be
drawn into a discussion at this time"

OUTNUMBER FARMERS
More LAWYERS Out of Kansas State
Senate This Year.

Attic Kansas is primarily an agri-
cultural state, there are more attor-
neys who are candidates for the state
senate than there are farmers, accord
ing to figures compiled today at the
state house. There are eighty-six, Re
publican, Democrat and Socialist can
didates and the pursuits of sixty-six
of this number were determined
There are nineteen attorneys seek
ing office and eighteen farmers. The
demand for business men in the state
senate could only induce seven bank
ers, three merchants, one real estate
man, one broker, one grain man and
three druggists to get into the race.
The total number of business men
candidates for the senate is only six
teen against nineteen attorneys and
eighteen farmers
There is one poet with political am
billions, one preacher, one sheriff, six
newspaper men, one milliner, and
three physicians.

Ting the slanderous talk they had
heard to the effect that high school
boys and girls cannot spell.
A list of commonly misspelled
words had been procured from the

speller was also used. Superintend-
ent KantZ pronounced the words,
Robert E. Lee, principal of the grades,
refereeing for the business men, and
Golden Smith, principal of the high
school, for the students. Interest
grew to suspense when Doctor Tanke
stood alone against six high school
students, who finally spelled him

PAPER STILL CLIMBING
News Print Stock in 1917 so Per Cent
Higher Than Now.

New York, Oct. 19.-News print pa
per for 1917 will be at least SO per
cent higher in price than it is today,
according to an official of the Inter-
national Paper company.
Altho the company has not yet
taken a single contract for delivery
next year and is not expected to an
nounce its 1917 prices until Novem-
Der 1, this official stated that news
print paper would be advanced at
least 1 cent a pound to three-quarters
of a cent a pound delivered. This in
crease is equivalent to $40 a ton over
1916 prices.
Inquiries for 1917 business are pour
ing in on the company, but before ac-
cepting any, the company is waiting
to see what conditions develop by the
end of the month.

FOUNDED FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Nine Mile Lodge at Lansing Celebrates
Anniversary of Organization.

Leavenworth, Kan, Oct. 19.-The
fiftieth anniversary celebration of the
founding of Nine Mile Masonic Lodge
No. 40 of Lansing was everything that
was planned for it. The members of
the lodge were congratulated by the
hundreds of Masons who were present
on the success of the celebration and
the prosperity of the lodge. Nine Mile
has put on many entertainments of
one kind or another but none of the
magnitude of the one last night, which
was worthy of a half century celebra-
ton of the old pioneer lodge.
Masons were present from all parts
of Leavenworth and adjoining coun-
ties and some from other states. Some
of the members of Nine Mile who have
moved far away came back for the
celebration and to affiliate with their
old friends once again. 1t was in the
nature of a reunion of the members of
Nine Mile.

his Ford while on his way up to his
work on a school house south of

mobiles have been seen here at one
time.

three teachers. The principal public
need of the town is a hotel.

carloads of Kansas wheat, most of it
raised in LeaVenworth county, were
shipped out of here over the Union
Pacific for Minneapolis, Mimi, to
supply the people of the northwest

from northern grown grain.
While Minnesota and the Dakotas
laud themselves for the vast amount
of wheat they produce, and claim the
leadership of the world in making it
into flour, they turn to the fields of
Kansas to supply their own tables

Hiawatha, Kan, Oct. 19.-There is
a probability that before another
year the business street of Hiawatha
will have modern lights instead of the
one light poles we now have. Orna-
mental poles with three or five light
clusters will replace the old one light
affair if the business men are ready
for the change. 1t is understood that
the city commissioners are ready to
install the cluster of lights if the bust
ness men will pay for the poles.

CHIEF ADDRESSES TRADE
 SCHOOL BOYS ON FIRE AVERTING PRECAUTIONS

Fire Prevention Day is being ob- served in this city today. Chief Dan- iel E. Johnson of the fire department addressed a gathering of boys this morning at the State Trade school in John street and procured their co-op- eration in the campaign for more safety.
 Chief Johnson pointed out that every year, $250,0O0,0OO damage is done by fire in this country, and that much of the loss is preventable. Five thousand deaths occurred in fires and losses of $500 a minute were suffered.
 Care could eliminate much of this, he asserted. He gave the boys instruc- tions regarding precautions. Removal of waste material is one of the best preventative measures, he said. Pre- cautions with matches are necessary.
 Accidents, he said, also take an enormous toll of lives, and here care- lessness is again largely responsible.
 Several days ago Chief Johnson and Inspector of Combustibles Thomas F. Broderick urged merchants, manufac- turers and householders to make an effort to get rid of waste material. A general cleaning up has followed, Chief Johnson said, but carts cannot be ob- tained to take away the stuff.
 Gov. Holcomb issued proclamation today, calling attention to the desira- bility of observing the day.

LYRIC

Plays are usually short-lived. but r'Texas," which comes to the Lyric theatre this week. is a comedy drama which has had an almost phenomenal
 lease of life and which has been re- ivived again this year, winning new popularity. It is a play so worth
 while that many people go to see it
 the second and third time. Women and children are among those who praise it the highest, because it is
 wholesome in all it's essentials. It is a production much at variance with the present day drama, and most people
 who see it pronounce it a genuine re- lief and express the wish that there were more plays like it It tells a simple story of ranch life but there are many scenes of such dramatic mo-
 mont that they actually thrill one,
 The. comedy is sparkling and 1t flows from the lips of flesh and blood char iacters. It gives one a realistic pie tture of life in the Lone Star state. This Is especially pertinent at this particular time when Texas is so much kbefore the public eye. The play is given a fine production in every way tJane Weir is Texas" West, and Louis
