Retail GrOcers Not Worrying Over
Fight He Is Making.

From the way in which a number of
retail grocerS expressed themselves to-
day it would seem that they are not
worrying for fear that they will be
driven out of business yet awhile on
account of the move which Frank Cope,
the commission man has made in put
ting wagons out to sell fruit and vege-
tables direct to the consumer.
Several of those who were interviewed
would not admit that they had any
thing to do with the fight between the
commission mar and the retailers. l

is on the wrong track, but L am not

tailers."
1--WE have not paid any attention to
the boycott: neither side bothers us, -
was the statement of E. c. Dibble, the
grocer. 1.-The fruit and vegetable busl-
Eess is comparatively "a small item in
our line. Besides we buy potatoes and
other goods which will not perish quick
" by the carload.
Competition always rules; if there
is one man there is anothers / don't

Cope may sell few goods but we
won't go out of business for few days

Shawnee Grocery company with a
smile. 1--WE haven't been doing any
business with him for a year or more.

THE Golden Butterfly
Miss Grace Van Studdiford in the
latest DeKoven-S Smith opera THE
Golden Butterfly sang to a good house
at the Grand last night This star has
sung to a Topeka audience before but
it was so long ago one ought not to
mention it for Miss Studdiford LOOKS
not more than 25 now. A blind man
would thrill to the vibrations of her
sustained tones and a seeing man
sings as naturally as a person eats and
one might think, could he not hear,
that the gracious lady was but talking
and smiling at her audience. No one
las sung with so much and such al
Turing facial expression as Miss Studdi-
ford at the Grand and her repeated
curtain calls attest she won all hearts.
Indeed 1.-The Golden Butterfly was
one of the few musical offerings at two
dollar throws which should have got
ten out of town without a penalty for
obtaining money under false pretences.

music, singing and acting, also the
theme, was grand opera itself. And in
those scenes the ability of Miss Van
Studdiford and her company was best
portrayed.
The story of the play is that of a
musical student from the Latin quar-
ter of Budapest who went to Paris and
wrote an opera which baron at Buda-
pest stole, making the students sweet
heart his star in turn for promise to
marry him. 1t isn't a long story but
about the regulation length for the
depth of it and gave occasion for some
very pretty singing. Miss Van Studio
ford was the sweetheart. Harry Mae
donough the baron, Carl Haydn the
student. Macdonough has a past-voice
like most comic opera men but what he
knows about the motions of the bust

controls the comedy of the piece and
released a few brand new ones though
the comedy may be said to be the
weakest part of a comic show.
