BIG TREAT FOR TOPEKA.
Madam Butterfly WIN Be Given Here
by Savage, Feb. -.

Puccini's fascinating japanese
grand opera, Madam Butterfly the
f1owery music of which has captfvated
the opera loving world of two contin-
ents during the past two seasons, is
coming to Topeka for two perfor-
mances at the Grand opera house on
Saturday, February 10th. This will be
the first visit of Henry w. Sava9e's
new English Grand Opera company
and this Will be the only point In the
state where the special train of the
big company will stop. Madam But
terfy'' is counted the finest Offering
ever presented by Henry w. Savage.
The company comes here with it's
complete forces of imported artists
and grand opera orchestra OF nearly
fifty symphony players, that were es-
pecially organized to give this mas
terpiece.
So much advance interest has been
taken IN the announced engagement
that orders for seats are already be-
ing received from surrounding points.
A party of Kansas City music club
folks have spoken for section OF
seats to hear Phoebe Strakosch, the
niece of Patti, in the title role. When
the curtain goes UP on the beautiful
first act garden scene OF Madam
Butterfly the pretty Japanese lady
about whose life story 50 much has
been written since Mr.. Savage brought
the opera to America, will be greeted
by a brilliant and most representative
audience.
The orchestra will require the re-
naoval of four rows Of seats to provide
space for the musicians. Madam
Butterfly of course is the most ex-
pensive undertaking in the country
and an unusual scale Of prices is nee
essary to pay for tho performance.
The local management announces
that these will be as follows: Lower
floor seats, $500 and $3.50: balcony,
$500, $3.50, $1.e0; mezzanfne floor,
$3.50; gallery, 80 cents. The box Of
fee will be open for Madam Butter
fly seats on Monday. February gath,
at a M, and out OF town orders
with remittances payable to Mr.. Roy
Crawford Will be filled in order OF re-
ceipt as near as possible to location
desired.

gagement OF MADAM Butterfly" Mr..

DRUGGIST RECEIVES BENEFIT

Topeka, Kan, Dec 18th, 1907.

Gentlsmen:-During nineteen years

more popular remedy for kidney,

Several years ago had a slight

bottle and it worked with entirely
satisfactory and gratifying results.
I gladly endorse it to those suffer-

the national Republican convention
from Kansas, and if he can't go as a
delegate at large he will not decline the
honor If the convention puts him in
as an alternate. There are many col
ored people residing in the district and
state and only once have they been
recognized, and that was several wears
ago when the Republicans nominated
county state auditor. Mr.. Garland is
q staunch supporter of Taft for prest-
