Not since Mason's opera house was


christened has its four walls enclosed
more delighted audience or equally artis-
tic company than it did on Saturday
night last, when Alabama" brought
smiles and tears in quick response to the
humor and the psthos Of its well portray
ed and beautiful scenes. Every member
OF the company-save, perhaps, the small
boy-was an actor in the true sense Of
the word. The whole sweet story OF
southern love and chivalry was most
touchingIy enacted; and there was never
a moment when the audience was not
completely en- rapport with its enter
tsiners. From Frank G. Bangs down,
the company possesses some splendid
talent-and it will be packed house
which will greet it should it ever again
visit this city.
West Coast Trade: THE YAKIMA HER
AID with its usual and commendable
broad minded way Of looking at things
| heartily endorses the action of the state
fair commission in putting over the regu-
lar annual exhibit until year from next
fall. The appropriation OF $500 is too
small for the purpose OF providing reve-
nues for a successful fair, as fully $1,000 OF
that amount will be necessary to main
tain the grounds, and with the Spokane
fruit fair and Oregon state fair holding
tooth an Jatao onn a;ct;vy xy;th t;,,,a
set for the fair at North Yakima its sue
cess was engendered. Next year the
people of Washington should make it
point to give the state fair their most
hearty support and make it as it should
and will be, powerful influence in ad-
vancing our agricultural interests.
Lincoln County Times: Owing to the
fact that money is close and business
dull, the state fair commission has decid-
ed to forego holding the annual fair at
Yakima this fall, and will combine the
appropriation for this year with that Of
next, and hold an immense fair during
the fall of 1896. The action OF the board
meets with general approval throughout
the state, as few localities or counties
would feel financially able to go ahead
and make an exhibit that would be cred
liable to them, and rather than make q
poor showing most OF them would prefer
to make none at all. By '96 normal con-
ditlons will probably have returned and
the state commission will then be able to
arrange for one of the finest exhibits ever
made in the northwest.
Mr.. f. F. Messenger, OF Tacoma, was
in the city on Saturday making arrange
ments for the building of handsome
stone business block on Second street,
Just south of Lombard & Horsley's. He is
also erecting one or two cottages for rent
on residence lots he owns. He contem-
plates removing to this city soon, and as
forerunner added his name to THE HER
AIDS rapidly growing subscription list.
Miss Lena LETTERS, daughter of Mrs.

ranch near Parker Bottom, is to be mar
ried in this city on June 9. at IL o'clock,
in the Episcopal church, to Mr.. F. o.
Baker, of Spokane. Bishop Wells will
perform the ceremony. Afterwards

Hotel Yakima. A tour through Oregon
and California will probably follow.
Prof. White, who recently secured ste
reopticon views OF this valley for use in
lectures throughout the east, has been
heard from. He was in Evanston, Ills,
last week, and talked to large audience.
OF course he mentioned Yakima, but he
seems to be doing most of his hustling
for the Puget Sound university, of
Tacoma.
Not all gallery frequenters at Msson's
opera house are hoodlums, but some of
them are and heavy weight policeman
with good stuffed club would be well
come addition to the supernumerary on
theatrical evenings. The assinine gallery
demonstrations usually witnessed are be-
coming very tiresome.
Ellensburg Register The state fair
commission has decided not to hold any
fair this year, owing to the hard times
and scarcity OF money. Their action lie
highly commendable. The management
will devote all their energies toward max
ing the fair next year all the moro sue
cessful.
Sheriff Dilley returned on Sunday from
a weeks horse thief chasing in the Blue
mountains. He stopped for day in
Pendleton, which village he says is quiet.
While there he met James Greer, q
former Yakiman, who is now engaged in
the real estate and Insurance business.
Ten people out of dozen are in
valids," says recent medical authority.
At least eight out Of these ten, it is safe to
allow, are suffering from some form OF
blood-disease which a persistent use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla would be sure to cure.
Then, don't be an invalid.
A. l.. Ames, an Illinoisan who left his
home on January /, has been touring it
over the northwest in search OF climate
which is not so vigorous in winter, was
Yakima visitor this week. He likes Yak
ina very much, and states that he may
