We also respectfully recommend that
the fire marshal be authorized to pur-

f'The Dairy Farm" Seen in To-
peka For First Time.
Another Rural New England
Play That is Pleasing.

ries Leading Part.
Final Performance VIII Be
Given Tonight.

THE Dairy Farm" which has been
kept at metropolitan houses with vary
ing success for the past two years, made
its first visit to Topeka last night. It
is strange that it was greeted by
very small house Everybody has heard
Of The Dairy Farm" but perhaps the
weather is too hot to keep alive the
fires of theatrical enthusiasm.
THE Dairy Farm" is pretty little
story with a distictive --Cld Homestead
and Way Down East" flavor To be
sure it does not reach the standard OF
these plays, because the situations are
neither new nor novel, but they tell the
sweet old story that is never tiresome.
The Dairy Farm simply reeiCs with
the atmosphere of New England in the
days of President Pierce. and it is diff
hcult for one to listen to the quaint old
fashioned people without feeling that he
has turned back the leaves of his Iife's
history for 45 years. And added to all
it is healthfuI There is nothing in the
play that viii cause you to regretthat

Squire Hurley and Mac NJ. Barnes

country squire who would brook no op-

his home when he refused to marry the

Eunice Jane Perkins, the woman select
ed by the Squire to be the wife OF his
nephew Nathan. Helen Hartley was

piece has so overdone the character that

the great success of the modern stage is
The Christian; moreover, the contin-

its wonderful merit and vitality. The

drawing crowded houses, and the colos-

Death ocurked in The Jack Pot

The editor of the Weekly Gazette at
Helena, Ark, put his pistol back into
his pocket without stopping to reload
it, and, walking slowly down to the
corner of the street entered a saloon.
There were half a dozen men at the
door, who had heard the noise of the
shooting and had rushed forth to see
what was happening, but they made
way for him as he turned to enter
without a word.
Meantime the crowd had gathered
around the Iifeless remains of the man
who had fallen at Hapgood's second
shot. There was little said. They all
knew what had happened and why it
had happened and while there was
hardly a man there who would have
interfered to save the bully who met
his just deserts, there was a general
feeling that, after all, it was pretty
hard lines on a fellow, who hadn't
picked the quarrel himself, and who,
bad as he was, had never injured his
fellow townsmen greatly. And there
was no gush of sympathy and approval
for the man who had rid the town of
an evil presence.
Who was this editor, anyhow, that
he should consider it his duty to ele-
vate the standard of public morals in
Helena and expose things that had al
ways been done, and always would be
done so long as strangers came looking
for excitement and willing to play
poker? Helena had done we'll enough
'Sefore the Gazette was started, and
Red Jennings, so-called because of his
complexion, was no worse than any
other professional gambler.
Such was the undercurrent of public
sentiment, and Hapgood knew it. He
had been made to realize it partially
when he had attacked the public gamb-
ling in town with vigorous editorials,
selecting Jennings as his chief target,
but he had never realized it fully till
the inevitable ARRAY had occurred.
He had been warned, but had kept
on, fully prepared to fight for his life
when the time should come, and rather
expecting that public sympathy would
be with him if he should be lucky
enough to kill his man in self defense.
AS he walked to the corner he read.
however, in the few faces he scanned.
expressions that showed him how mis-
taken he had been. And as he entered
the saloon and called for the drink he
needed to steady his nerves, he knew
ing him would have cared to drink
with him.
The coroner was promptly on hand,
being, indeed, one of the citizens who
had stood watching the fight, but
making no move to interfere If men
chose to shoot at each other it was
their own concern, and people in Hell
ena were not in the habit of doing
more than look on, being careful in
the meantime to keep out of their line
of fire as well as possible.
After the shooting, however, there
was always something to be done, pro-
vided there was really a result that
could be considered worth while, and
the first of these things devolved upon
the coroner, who was not without ex-
perience in similar affairs

YOUNG COUPLE WALKING
FROM VIRGINIA TO OHIO
Husband After Work, and They Will
Not Accept TRANSPORTATION.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 3.-To walk
from Richmond, Va, to Dayton, Ohio,
is the task set by a young couple who
left here today. They stated at the
office of the superintendent of chart
ties that they had eloped from Dayton
four months ago, and had gone to
Washington, where they were married.
This part of the story was substan-
t1ated by the marriage certificate
which they exhibited. From Wash
lngton they said they had gone to
Richmond, where the young man had
secured employment as a conductor on
a trolley car.
Then came a strike and the husband
lost his position. His lungs were not
strong, and they decided that he would
be better off at Dayton, especially as
there did not seem to be any way to
make living for himself and wife in
Richmond, whereas he is confident of
securing employment in Dayton.
They had very little money, and de-
c1ded to walk, and started out, head
ing for Baltimore, as one of the stop
ping places. 1t has taken them four
weeks to get here. The officials re-
fused to give the name of the couple,
but said the man was twenty-seVen
years old and his wife seventeen. They
declined to accept transportation to
Dayton, but were provided with shoes.
