FINE PERFORMANCE
Given at the Armory Satufda,
Evening by Local Talent AZ

The best amateur performance that
we have ever seen is what we have to
say in regard to the Production of
"The Bluebird" at the armery last
Saturday evening presented big The
O'Callaghans. In fact one of the most
pleasing events which has been att The
theatre $the past season. For some
time the O'Callaghans have beenSre-
hearsing this piece and at the produc-
tion Saturday night, the audience was
indeed given a surprise and Avery
pleasing performance of mostSdif
f1cu1t play. The play has been under
the direction of Mr.. Flynn for some
! little time past and each, and every
one taking part in the production
are well worthy of special mention but
|spa3ee Wiapot 3 permit US to { do so:
IL Not like most amatler performances
the cast did not fall through their
lines but had them letter perfect and
indeed the performance was much bet.
ter than a great many of those claim
ing to be professionals. In the race
track scene. the company had special
lscenery for the play and it was one
Iof the most realistic reproductions Of
a race scene we have ever seer and
compares well with the scene from
"Checkers"&in which this scene has
lbeen the' strong point in the play and
which has been seen. in all the: prin
tcipal cities#of the United States. =

too many feet sticking out of the
berths and as he wandered down the
aisle of the sleeper it rather confused
him and he decided to enter a berth
where there was not danger signes
or one of recognition.
He has had considerable trouble
along the Great Northern line the past
week but the climax was reached here
when he tried to enter the birth of
Miss McElroy. Aaberg thought that
he would get to bed as the hour was
getting late and happily dropped into
the birth that he thought was desig-
mated to him but there proved to be a
woman in the case" and she was the
cause of his undoing. The lady was
sound asleep when he made his way
to the birth to go to bed and as he
went into the apartment and sat on
the bed to remove his shoes before
retiring he was surprised to find that
it was already Occupied. His presence
In the women's apartments startled
her and she called for assistance and
the conductor and porter of the train
came to her assistance and found Aa-
berg in the apartment preparing for
bed.
The woman claimed that he had in
! suited her and he was removed from
| the train by the crew and placed under
arrest and taken to the county JAIL
Friday morning was arranged before
Police Magistrate Jones, charged with
being drunk and disorderly. No other
charge was made against him on ac-
count of the plaintiff In the case not
being present to prosecute him. Miss
McElroy was on her way to Seattle
where she will sail on Tuesday for jap
and and could not remain over to
prosecute the case. He was fined s25
or Is days in jail whereupon he paid
his fine and was released.
, Wednesday he disturbed an EvangeI-
list meeting on the street at Lakota
that was being conducted by woman.
/ He approached the woman and asked
her chow business was" and she re-
sponded with one of Fitzsimmons' SOL
ar Plexus blows and Mr.. Aaberg said
no more.
It seems as though Mr.. Aaberg's
person was completely saturated with
North Dakota whiskey the past few
days and perhaps that was &C
Icountable for things that happen
4 ed, but he came to his senses very
suddenly when he reached in his pock'
ct for the twenty-five and will undoubt'

She had the audience with her to the
end.
The fourth speaker was Nugent
Burke and his subject There is No
thing New Under the Sun" was hand
led in a strong manner with just
enough plausibility in the argument
to save it from being whimsical and
just enough, humor to make it effec-
tive and pleasing to the audience.
Miss Thora Connolly, fifth on the
program gave fine portrayal of the
Crisis of the Nations. Her subject
was artistically correct and very ef-
fective because of her sincerity insthe
article.
One of the most scholarly addresses
Of the evening was made by Ruddy
Lake who outlined in a critical way
the progress of English Law. Both the
thought and delivery were excellent:
"A Nation'es Tragedy was the sub
ject of the last speech by Edith Web
ster. The fall of Poland was describ-
ed in manner strong in keen critical
insight and with dramatic apprecia.
tion.
Silver Serumgard, president of the
board Of Education, in his character
istic, clear, practical and forceful style
presented the diplomas to the ten
young ladies and six young men of the
graduating class, reminding them thai
this year the diplomas would be &C
cepted without examinations as admit
tance to the Colleges and universities
by ten states.
The music of the program was rem
dered by the Devils Lake orchestrs
and the chorus of the High School
The selections rendered were superior
and highly appreciated by the audi
ence. The high school chorus showed

Rev. T. A. Olson then closed the Pre-
gram with benediction. People in tn

on the part of the class.

= BE BOUGHT BY CITY?
Water Committee to Hear
Proposition Today.

Shall the city buy a new compress
sOr for the waterworks, or shall they
not?
That question is right now before
the Water Committee of the City
Council An informal meeting of
the committee was held yesterday
afternoon, and another will be held
this morning, at which the represen-
a proposition A compressor can be
obtained at prices ranging from ST.
800 to 81 800, or even higher
AS already stated in these columns,
the present equipment is working at
high pressure to supply the demand
for water, and it is realized that pro-
vision must be made for more water
in the near future. Recently two big
consuming industries have been es-
tablished here, new ice plant and
the canning factory and it is the
needs of these two which have some
what embarrassed the water depart
ment AS each pays a handsome rev.
enue to the city it is not to be
thought that they shall be hampered.
The only thing which stands in the
way of any Improvement in the pres
ent service is the fact that the city is
on the eve of placing the pumping of
the water in the hands of a private
corporation, which is building a plant
of it's own. Until this matter is def
nitely disposed of one way or the
other it is not thought desirable by
many to add any machinery, which
will be worthless in case the new
company completes the deal

WAITING LISTS GOING
TO FILL THE YARDS
Schools Will Be Crowded
in September.

The waiting list" in the Americus
public schools at the opening of the
fall term promises to be the largest
ever, as the attendance of pupils will
fill the schoolrooms to overflowing.
The waiting list" will constitute the
scores and dozens of pupils who will
be unable to gain admission and must
wait for a possible vacancy in one
of the departments. Years ago the
attendance of pupils at the Americus
schools far exceeded the capacity of
the buildings, and while the excess
has grown annually there has been
no stretching of walls to accOmmo-
date new pupils. Two years ago
the absolute necessity of another
building was painfully apparent and
an issue of $4,000 of bonds voted
therefor, but the bonds cannot be
utilized and, consequently, the new
school building is but a dream 1t is
barely possible that a dwelling house
may be rented by the Board of Edu-
cation and fitted up temporarily as a
school building, but even that much
has not been done as yet Probably
100 or $50 school children may have
to be turned away at the opening of
the fall session, unless room for them
is provided beforehand
