ADJUSTMENTS.
Last Nights Performance and other At
fractions this W eek.


The ''Our Jonathan" company played to
a weary handful of prospective suicides at
the Grand last night and gave an incom- |
parably bum and beaStly performance. 1t
is suspected that the show originated at
fremont City, but there are those who hint
darkly at DonnelSville. Certain II is that
no worse collection of hams and gtilies ever
struck Springfield, and the show they gave
would be an eternal blot on the escutcheon
of a country schoOl-hOuse with tatfy-headed
children and a Sl4-a-mOnth teacher. 1t
WAS simply frightful. Those who had the
strength tuttered out of the theater at the
end of the first act. while the rest sat still
and blinked duly at the stage, where the
ham banquet was in progress. Hereafter
the gang should change its name and bill
itself as ''Our Jonah-thing." Thanksgiving
was opportunely appointed for Springfield
This year; the show is over.
