And what is better, there is no real spec ial star part. Every role stands out and is in itself of sufficient import ance to demand interpretation by art ists. It will be sure to fill the thea tre at every performance, and one see Lane" Miss Patty Allison. that dear little lady that has, during this her first season in this city made a legion of friends, all of whom will be sure to be out in force to welcome her as simplicity Johnson a role she her cast too, playing the part of the min ister.

Miss Ma bel Montgomery has also a, fine part, and this new leaoing woman who has already found a warm place in the hearts of the vast army of Po1 Reg ularS'' will be sure too of a hearty welcome and please her new friends.

BAN ON CIGARETTES
 THROUGH MINNESOTA

Minneapolis, Aug. 2.-The new State law prohibiting the sale of paper cigar ettetS went into effect at midnight and from now on it will be illegal to put them on the market.
 Early last evening there was a short age in popular brands at some cigar stores and clerks sent prices up higher than ordinarily charged at retail. Re- ports came in from other parts of the city that a fresh supply had arrived which caused a rush to those stores, which caused values to decline again. At some stores, however, prices were kept at top notch, as it was thought that there would be little difficulty in getting rid of the stocks. Shortly af- ter 10 o'clock five cent packages sold at eight for a quarter, 10 cent boxes at four for quarter, 15 cent boxes at three for a quarter and 25 cent cigar cites at two for 35 cents. These prices remained stationary until midnight.
 More than a million cigarettes were sold in Minneapolis Saturday.

Dobbin'S Journey,

The family horse, who rejoiced in the eminently proper equine name of Dobbin, had earned a rest by long service and was accordingly sent away to the country to spend his de- clfning years in the broad pastures of a farmer friend of his owner. The distance being soDcwhat excessive for his rheumatic leeS, he was shipped to his new home by rail.
 Little Edna, the family four-year- old, viewed the passing of Dobbin with unfeigned sorrow. She sat for long time gazing disconsolately out of the window. At last, after a deep sigh, she turned with a more cheerful expression and said:
 Did old Dobbin go on the choo- choo cars, mamma P
 "Yes, dear," answered her mother.

 Unfortunately, it has been impossi- ble to locate the manager for an in terview and the surmise is as yet unsubstantial. The hope is expressed however. that in the event of the contingency anticipated, the selection will not be made from the miniature ranks.

Amateur Weather Prophata.

'The old weather prophets there are left now" remarked a Cleveland law yer who was raised in the country, fare professionals. The good old fash toned amateur weather prophets that could tell you what the next day would be like just by snifing the atmosphere and looking at the sky are no more People are growing up to depend on the weather reports in the newspapers, and they don't develop any intuition in that direction any more. When I was a kid I used to ask my father what the next days weather would be with just as much feeling of confi- dence in what he would tell me as would have in an una bridged dfction- ary if I wanted to look up a word And, as a rule, wasn't disappointed" Cleveland Plain Dealer.

BILLY THE KID"

Billy, the Kid,' the popular melo- drama, is one of the best examples of its kind of this seasons production The play has for its locale that portion of the great Southwest which lies near the Mexican frontier. It tells a story of absorbing interest and is filled with situations, both highly dramatic and of that intensity demanded by the lovers of this class of performance. The central figure is that of 8, young man., forced to outlawry by his own father, yet there is an exceptionally well defined love interest and plenty of good comedy situations. The play will come to Jackson's theatre the first three days of next week with the usual daily matineeS.
