SMOKED MEAT and desire an article that I is first-class in tyery re- Z spect, cannot make! a mistake by purchasing one of the hams that the La Grande Gash Meat Go. have just finished curing. They ore put up in the most careful man ner; every detail in the curing of them has been looked after as carefr'. as a bank would lock, efter its books. The care that they h'av given this meat and the extra ccst I of cuing compels them I to get a little larger price ! for thorn, than regularly I cured ham is worth. They I will hive a large amount : of THESE HAMS ON SALE AT THE I MIDGET I MARKET j SATURDAY and eery day after if 2 there is any left. If they sell like they should, we X will have them all the J time hereafter.

Everybody was satisfied with "Little Johnny Jones." . There was not A dull moment or a tiresome situation. The girls were fair to look upon and the singing and dancing was all that could be exported. The scenery was fresh and complete. In fact, the stage set tings were tho best and most realistic teen In this city tor many seasons. When ocean liners can be seen to take on their chko of human freight, leavi the dock and steam away In full view of the audience, the effect la certainly '"going oom." In fact, the entire pro duction was so perfect that It seemec" as If the management had followed their own admonition and had not "started anything they could not fin ish." Little Johnny Jones" surely did make good. . Tli Pastime. t-, Notwithstanding the counter attrac tion at the opera house, business at the Pastime waa better than average. The L. D. S. quartet Is surely drawing the crowds. The peoplo. If they have an opportunity, are always ready to show their appreciation of good music. This Is evidenced by the heavy increase of business this week at the Pastime. Tomorrow night will be the last ap pearance of the quartet. If you enjoy listening to the songs come. Remem ber this. They will offer an entire new"selectlon of songs this evening. The pictures ore all good. The great sentimental drama film "The Blind Farmer's Daushter" Is an exceptional ly strong number. This Is a , short '.:.., but every foot of this film brings ."orth a new and startling situation. As a sort of relief from the high tension work which Is shown In tfls number comes the comic number. "Watcrprocf Willie." This number contains enough laughs to Ineak up all tho hospltcls In the state. Come out and take the laugh cure. The first dose will be sufficient to make you feel like a new man. Fwr the benefB of those who cannot attend In the evening, Manager Ecles has arranged for the children's matinee tomorrow afternoon.
