MAY ROBSON NEXT WEEK.

May Robson in her delightful COM
edy. The Rejuyenation OF Aunt
Mary" is to appear al the Grand,
Davenport. next Thursday evening
While she was playing at Terry 6
theatre, London. Eng-an II. Glenn
enet Scott, the noted English critic,
wrote Of her
May Robson. radiant with her
success at Terry 5 theatre makes such
. sweet, lovable. generous-hearted
woman of Aunt Nary that you long
to get on the stage and hug her
straight away. Anne Warmers play
is not what you call great, but Il is
the remarkably clever acting which
makes il. The slightest eXaEgeration,
the merest tinge Of vulgarity would
destroy the character of Aunt Mary
in a second. But May Robson car
ries everything along with her, and
the sympathy she gains from the out
set she maintains 10 the last minute.
The entire company. in fact. as pre-
sented by L. s. Sire, play together
with consummate art OF the French
school that believes IN every part be-
ing acted for all its worth and each
individual therefore. gets q fair
chance. So when Aunt Mary, away
out in her home in New England, be-
loved by everybody. attempts TO hide
her feelings in an outburst OF anger
on learning about the escapades of
her young nephew, Jack Denham
whom she adores. turns him out OF
the house and threatens TO disin-
herit the boy who has been suspend
ed from college. Joshua, Auntie's
man-servant, and Lucinda. Aunt
Mary's property, body and soul,
wide program only smile. knowing
full well that i'll temper and Miss
Mary are bitter enemies with one an
other. Every study in Anne War
ner's farcial comedy is a little gem
in its way, the dialogue, alternately
tender and humorous, belongs to
America. There is no straining after
effects or effort to get there All
is indeed simplicity itself. and it is
one chord of sweet humanity"

FARGO WILL HAVE PUMPING
STATION AND LIGHT PLANT
At Special Meeting Last Night City Council Voted to Instruct
Engineer to Prepare Plans and Advertise for Bids
With Light Plant Provided for

for the filtration plant until the site
for the building has been selected
They argued that ii was not as de-
sirable to the competing companies to
bid on the job unless a location was
fixed, and furthermore 1t would not be
as satisfactory to the city. However,
when this matter came to a vote, the
aldermen voted it down.
Then Alderman Bowers proceeded to
make a motion that the city auditor
be instructed to advertise for bids for
the filtration plant specifications and
plans OF which had just been adopted.
When a vote was called for the ques-
ton of advertising of the bids Messrs.
Bowers, Frenette, Harrington, Loft
house, Mcdonald and Sonquist voted
In the affirmative; Messrs. Bolene,
Clapp, Jardine, Cooper, Green and
Stewart voted with the negative. The
mayor then voted in the affirmative,
and the city auditor was duly instruct
ed to advertise for bids which will be
opened April %, at the city hall.
At the close of this vote Aldermen
Frenette and Cooper engaged in a
tongue flashing match. Cooper, it was
alleged, said that Frenette secured his
light for nothing. and this insulted the
dentist of the council. However, Mr.
Cooper said that he didn't make the
charge and the matter was dropped.
Chairman Mcdonald told the city
dads of a number Of sites that had been
proposed for the location of the filtra-
ton plant, since it did not seem that
the park was available. One of these
is where the washington barns now
stand, which can be secured for $4,000,
while the others are at the Rea and
Darling farms.

At a special meeting of the city
council, last evening, the plans and
specifications for Fargo's proposed fl
tration plant were adopted, and it was
ordered that bids be advertised for at
once
Every member of the council who
was in the city was present at the
meeting and prepared to vote on the
question which has been uppermost in
the minds of many Of the citizens OF
Fargo. At the opening of the meeting,
Mayor Lowell announced that he un-
derstood the council would like to give
instructions for the preparing of plans
for the erection of pumping station
and municipal light plant.
On motion of Alderman Jardine, Sec
onded by Alderman Clapp, it was vot-
ed to instruct the city engineer to pre-
pare plans for pumping and power
plant large enough to care for the ma
chinery that would be necessary to
operate a filtration plant and electric
light plant in connection. Bolene and
Cooper were the only men voting
against the motion.
After a little discussion, it was then
moved by Alderman Mcdonald and
seconded by his colleague from the
third ward, that the plans for the fill
tration plant be adopted by the coun-
ell, which motion prevailed. Before
the motion was voted upon, Mr.. Nc
Donald suggested that an advertising
clause be placed in this motion, but as
several of the members desired to vote
on the advertising separately, this sug-
gestion was withdrawn.
Some of the councilmen wanted to
defer the matter Of advertising for bids
