people of Topeka and all for tn lnsig-
ficant sum of one dime, slick ones in
cluded and not one cent to go to swell
the pockets of the theatrical men. The
theater owners and managers have
come nobly to the front AMI given the
use of their theaterS with every evil
dence of gladness and have even vol
untered to pay for the entertainments
given by the profession on that day

sale at various points in the very

benefit of these same measly dimes
