AUDITORIUM SECURED.

Topeka music lovers will be pleased
to learn that the Ladies' Music club is
planning to bring Nordica, or some
other musician of equal note to TopeIxa
some time in November. Preceding the
regular meeting of the club, which was
held Wednesday afternoon at the home
OF Miss Ellen Parkhurst the plans were
thoroughly discussed It was decided
that unless the Auditorium could be OBJ
tanned it would not be feasible to under
take it, as there is scarcely another
building in town large enough for the
purpose.
By giving the entertainment in the
Auditorium it will be possible to charge
a popular price, which will enable more
people to take advantage of IT, and at
the same time insure the club against
loss The petition which was drawn w
and presented to the council in the even
ing, asking for the use Of the Auditorium
was granted.
AS the Auditorium is a public build
ing and no rent can be charged for the
use Of 1t, the members of the Music
club will show their appreciation by Civ
ing percent Of the proceeds from their
entertainment toward seating the build
ing During the past two years the
Ladies Music club has been very sue
ceSS1ui IN bringing a number of fine
musical attractions to the city. and
though their efforts this season are on
a much larger scale, nothing but sue
cess IS predicted for it
After the business meeting the follow
