Yon Yonson.

At the Larson Theater Monday night
next, October Z, Thall & Kennedy's
scenic production of "Yon Yonson" will
hold the stage. OF all the dialect,plays
produced since the days of Emmett,
none has achieved such substantial and
enduring success as 'Yon Yonson,"
Swedish dialect comedy, which por-
trays phase of contemporaneous life.
This season the main rolei is beingiplayed
by Knute Erickson. The central figure
is raw Swedish emigrant, and the plot
hinges upon his career in the lumber
camps OF the Northwest. Mr.. Erickson
is said to be pleasing comedian, and
his dialect is mellow and amusing. His
rapid rise from the uncouth woodsman
to man of affluence and eminent re-
spectability, and the discovery OF his
long-lost sister in an accomplished
young society girl, are the principal
dramatic events of the play. The
scenery is said to commend special
attention. The reproduction of a lumber
camp and the existing log jam scenes are
faithful pictures. The company is said
to be capable one and embraces Annie
Mack Berlein, Beatrice Norman, f. j.
Mack, George Bryton, Belle Gold, +.
Guy Spangler, Harry Maynard, Sydney
Craven and Charles Hubbard. A special
feature of the performance is the appear
ance Of the Lumberman's Quartette.

I'm Old Kentucky"

The anne uncement that Jacob Lit S
in this city on Friday evening, October
18th, will arouse more than ordinary in
terest among theatre goers, notwith-
standing the fact that the production is
now familiar from frequent tours OF the
country. 1t is doubtful ii any American
play of recent years occupies a position
so secure in the hearts OF the public.
SIN Old Kentucky is chiefly notable
for its faithful depletion OF life as it
actually exists in the romantic bluegrass
region. The play also abounds in such
novel features rs a pickaninny band, Il
horse race and other stage innovations,
but the natural manner in which they
are introduced has been responsible for
their continued popularity in the face OF
widespread imitation. The original
company is retained and complete new
scenic equipment has been provided for
this-the ninth-year gifts presentation
"a Wise Woman which has been
secured for one night some time in the

critics that rarely falls to so young an
artist. The young lady referred to is
Marie Lamour.
The breaking OF the log jam in Thall

on October Z, is said to be more realistic

RUN DOWN By HACK.
Albert Bullock and Lady Meet With an Accident
on Yakima Avenue.

While driving westward along Yakima
avenue on Tuesday evening, Albert Bull
lock was run down by Lee Taylor and
was severely hurt. Mr.. Bullock was
accompanied by lady, and was driving
along at a slow pace. Lee Taylor came
along behind him with hack, and by
accident ran into the vehicle of Mr.
Bullock. The hack struck one OF the
rear wheels OF the buggy and tore it off,
throwing Mr.. Bullock and his lady to
the street. The lady was not injured
but Mr.. Bullock was rendered uncon-
scious by the severe blow he sustained
in striking the hard street. He was car
ried into the Yakima Drug Store, and in
short time regained consciousness
sufficiently to go home. 1t is difficult
to tell which one of the men is to blame.
1t is said to have been an unavoidable
accident.

nected with an attempt on the part of
small band of Union soldiers under
command of Capt. Andrews to capture
Confederate engine on the Western
q Atlantic Railway near Marietta, Ga.
and run it northward into the Federal
lines, says Leslie's Weekly. The Union
men passed through the Confederate
line in disguise, and boarded a train at
station called Big Shanty, seven
miles north of Marietta. While the
train crew were at breakfast the
unionists-one of whom was an old
englneer-quietly uncoupled the engine
and three freight cars and started for
Chattanooga at furious speed. The
tralnmen soon started in pursuit, and,
securing a hand-car few miles away,
