The interest excited by the New Ma
Sonal Theater's popularity vote for the
selection OF operas to be presented, has
exceeded expectations. The STANCE and
Edwards comic opera, Dolly Warden"
proves to be the one favored by the
Lrgest number. while Mariana" OF
much older vintage, is the second choice.
The third place is still in doubt between
three grand operas. Martha" +" Carmen"
and II TIOvatore" Dolly Warden" will
be presented as the attraction for the
coming week, opening Monday night, and
Mariana" viii be given the week after

Cost of Repairs.
The extent Of repairs win depend con-
siderably upon the mechanical ability Of
the chauffeur. a chauffeur receiving 800
month is expected TO know enough
about a car to detect weaknesses before
they become fatal, and TO remedy them,
in addition to attending TO everything
connected with the engine. A number of
minor extra parts, however. viii be re-
quired. such as spark plugs. perhaps
new set Of batteries. although the best
storage batteries can be recharged at
small cost and last almost indefinitely. A
conservative estimate for new parts will
be $50. and while some cars may go
through a season with an expense of only
SIS for actual repairs. it viii be well 10
allow somewhat more than this, and $50
viii not be excessive. This. of course. i'm
plies that the car has no serious accident
during the season, for a broken rear axle
viii cost about si00 to replace, and a
front axle $50
A few extra tools viii be needed, and
extra automobile clothing in the shape
Of gloves. one or two extra caps, an
additional coat or two, and other Incl
dentals, including oil for the lamps
and an allowance Of 50 may be made
for these necessities. A good car should
be painted once q year. and then freshly
vanished. and this will probably cost
$75. A charge Of SO may be included for

]. c. Payne & Co. will Immediately
commence the building of a new front
in their store room at us Kansas ave-

finest of it's kind in the west. 1t will
be what is known as show case front

it will in shape resemble the front in
Felix & Co. store.
The lower portion of the front will be
of plate glass, with a. bordersof fi1itered
and loaded cut glass aboNei surmounted
by a row of prism glasses. The entrance
will be of ceramic mosaic thing of a
special design manufactured expressly
for Payne & Co. bearing the firms name
in red. -.-
The front of the store which he now
occupies is similar to the one at the old
stand and for that reason has not been
changed up to the present time. When
completed the front will make an al
most continuous row of plate glass from
Seventh to Eighth streets with but one
or two breaks.

vINEWooD CLOSES SUNDAY.
Season Has Been Prosperous One
For the Park Management.

Vinewood park closes for the sea-
son with the departure of the last car
for the city Sunday night and the
wooden horses as well as all of the
other attrac tions will go into winter
quarters. The season has been a hard
one for parks all over the country
and many of them have gone into the
hands of the receiver, but though the
weather has been against Vinewood, it
Is just closing the best season of it's
existence.
1t has grown steadily in popularity
since it was opened and the five cent
fare made by the street car company
this season has done much to popularizc
the resort this year. Many more people
have visited the park this season than
last but at that the street car company
claims that it's receipts have not been
as great as in the past. This deficit IS
made up though by the five cents adj
mission charge made at the gate.
There will be free band concert
Sunday afternoon and evening follow
ed in the evening by the moving pic
ture show which has proven such a
popular attraction since it was in
stalled a couple of months ago. All of
the attractions of the ground this year
have done a nice business. especially
the figure eight. merry-go=round and
Hale's tours. The miniature railroad
failed to popularize itself.

A CASE OF 2 PER CENT.
But in This Instance 1t Is Earnings of
Edison Company.

The Topeka Edison company filed
today with the city clerk a detailed
statement covering receipts and, ex-
penditures of the company for the first
half of the year as is provided for un-
der their franchise.
The franchise provides that the city
shall receive 10 per cent of the annual
earnings of the company after 10 per
cent has been earned by the company
on Its actual cash investment at the
time of the filing of the report.
From the present indications it will
take a great many years before the
city ever gets anything in the way Of
company. for under the report filed
the showing is made that the company
is not earning per cent net on its in
vestment of 1855. 331.S9. while its en-
