ever was MS Otu, Jolty, 1fresblsUDle sell,
and his friends in the audience demon
strated their liking for him by frequent APP
plause. Mrs. Calhoun, as "Amorita,"
gave entire satisfaction. Her voice 10
musical and sweet and had it not been
overturned, would have a fame more far
reaching than at present. But the most
charming bit of feminity upon the stage
on Friday night was Miss Alice Vincent,
who took the part of angelo" She is
pretty, well-formed and artistic yet she
adds to all these something of yet more
value, i. e., perfect grace of movement
and gesture and the beautiful, welcomed,
white and dainty hand of an artistic wo-
man. There were many in the hall who
noted this, and felt how the other mem
bers OF the company suffered n contrast.
Miss Vincent may well be proud OF those
fingers and palms. A sculptor would
rave over them. Much of the side work
of the company was trifle ,isque; but
on the whole no fault could be found.
Yakima will welcome its return, and
probably give it double stage capacity
and more facilities on it next visit-as
work on the Yakima theater, which the
remodeled Switzer's hall is to be called,
will soon begin. 1t will have almost dou-
blythe stage-room possessed by Mason's

NM. Alex Miller mourns the sudden and
untimely disappearance OF a fat porker
from his pens near the road bridge over
the Natcheez, north OF the city, on Friday
night. The largest hog OF the stock was
taken, quietly bled to death, thrown into
q sleigh or some vehicle upon runners,
and drawn of into the darkness. There
is no clew whatever to the perpetrators;
and Mr.. Miller, in order to stimulate the
hustling proclvities of local Hswkshaws,
offers reward of $50 for information
leading to the arrest and conviction of
the thief The gentleman states that the
reason the reward s so large is not that
the stolen animal was particularly valu-
able, but rather that he wishes the thief
or thieves to see that he doesn't propose
having the other embryo hams molested.

ment, last week, of the death OF Mrs.

Mrs. Mcmillan, who is managing ]. A.
Stones Marion. Wash, hop ranch, writes
Mr.. Stone that she sold 100 bales of the
