THE CHILDREN'S DAY home.
To-NightS Entertainment to be Given
For Its Benefit.
An Institution That Has Done Much
Good and Can be Made
Blessing.

The good ladies who are interesting
themselves in the entertainment to be
given this evening in aid of the Chill
dren's Day Home were feeling in good
| spirits yesterday over the bright pros
pect of having, as the result of their Ia
bors, substantial sum to be devoted to
the expense of maintaining that most
deserving institution
Mrs. Clara Wood, who has charge of
the arrangements for the entertain
| ment, has devoted all of her time for
several weeks past to promoting the
worthy object in view, with the result
that a splendid entertainment is as
sured. The sale of tickets has been re-
markably good, and when all the re-
ceipts shall have been counted the la
dies believe they will feel well repaid for
their exertions.
The entertainment will take place at
the Sixth-street M. E. Church, and the
admission fee is but twenty-five cents.
The programme promises to be an ex-
cellent one. Mrs. Frances Moeller, who
is skillful organist, will preside at that
instrument Mr.. Owens, a newcomer,
who possesses a remarkably fine tenor
voice, will sing one or more selections,
| and Miss Marie Dixon, an accomplished
reader, recently from the East, will
favor the audience with recitation.
There will be six young lady ushers.
The feature of the evening will be the

TO SUE HETTY GREEN'S son
Owner of the Play in Which Gladys
Wallis Starred Wants Money.

New York. Oct. 17.-Hetty Green's
son, E. H r. Green, president of the
Texas and Midland railroad, is pursu-
ing a vigorous campaign for governor
of Texas on the Republican ticket in
blissful ignorance of the fact that John
A. Stevens. actor and playwright, is
preparing a legal bomb shell for him in
this city
Last season Mr.. Green put up the
necessary wealth to launch Gladys
Wallis and Joseph CaWthOrne as new
stars in the professional armament. 1t
is said Green lost SIS. 900 on this venture
and hoped to make up this loss from
CaWthorne's tour which, however,
brought Mr.. Green's loss to nearly $50
600
John w Dunno is alleged to have
been Green's agent and his contract
was to pay Stevens $500 down and $50
a week for the use of the play.
Mr.. Stevens says Hetty's son failed
to live up to his agreement, and that
5000 is still due him. Dunno referred
the matter to Greene, who, Stevens
says, refuses to make good the amount
and therefore viii be sued for it.

LETS FAVE nee cREAMERY.

Considering the amount of capital
necessary for such an enterprise no
more profitable business could be es-
tabHshed iii Topeka. both as regards
the promoters and the citizens. than
that Of the projected creamery mem
toned in this paper. yesterday
The most prosperous agricultural
communities in the state are those
with creameries established in their
midst. The dairy probably yields larg-
er returns per acre for the land used,
taking into consideration the labor
necessary. than any other branch of the
farmers business
Farmers residing in the vicinity Of
creameries in Kansas. and possessing
a few cows. are receiving from SIS to
SO per month for milk without inter
fering seriously with their ordinary
farming operations and there is little
uncertainty about it. Grass grows ev-
cry year and some sort of feed for
cows can be produced every year-wet
or dry.
The little town Of Meriden, ten miles
out. furnishes an excellent example OF
what such an institution viii do for an
agricultural community. The farmers
ia that vicinity are making more money
than they ever made before, are get
ting rich and are quickly buying up any
piece of land that may be offered at a
reasonable price.
Land in the vicinity of Topeka has
become too high priced to be devoted
to the production of corn and wheat.

gardening and fruit growing. while the
