ALIAS JIMMY VALENTINE
Fargo Theatregoers Will See Good
Play Tomorrow Night--PopuIar
at Winnipeg.

Winnipeg Free Press: One OF the
strongest and most virile dramas
which has been produced this season
is Alias Jimmy Valentine, which is
the attraction at the Walker theatre
this week. The play is Paul Arm
strong's masterpiece. which was sug-
gested by the late o. Henry's story,
A Retrieved Reformation. The author
was noted for his faithful portrayal
of human characters and emotions,
and the dramatist has faithfully fol-
lowed Henry in the play. 1t is re-
pIete with human interest. and is fol-
lowed with keen attention from the
rise OF the curtain to the fish.
The story is woven around the re-
jlvenation of criminal unique in the
annals OF the police. He is gifted
with the almost superhuman power
of ascertaining the combinations OF
the so-called burglar proof safes by
the highly developed and sensitive
nerves in his fingers. AS the result
of exceptional bravery he secures q
pardon from the Sing Sing, and
through his love for brave girl ie
installed IN a high position in a bank
The lure of his former life is con-
stantly tempting him. and this is at
tenuated by the pleas Of his old
friends to return to his former
haunts.

oRPHEuM THEATRE

1t Is pleasure and privilege that
the people Of Fargo should take adj
vantage of seeing, the dramatic sketch,
A Child Shall Lead Them, which Is
now being presented at the Orpheum
by clever little actress and her COM
pany of players. This playet is one
that is way above the average of a
vaudeville offering and on legiti-
mate stage, with a little elaboration,
would make a whole evenings en-
tertainment. In the cast are four peo-
pie besides Miss Clayton, and each
one OF them are actresses OF ability.
The play tells the story Of the ma
ternal desire OF child of the slums,
and her desire to bring into the world
her own kind. 1t is strong In dramat-
ic possibilities, all of which are taken
advantage of, and the comedy is Of q
rich legitimate sort, which gives no
ofEense, yet brings forth laughter. 1t
shows how the influence Of child,
ignorant and illiterate though she may
be, when exercised for good can bring
out the best qualities Of mans ma
ture. 1t teaches a lesson which will
tend to soften the heart Of the selfish
OF self-centered individual.
Carey & DeGray in their singing
and musical turn was ably assisted
by little boy. who gave delightful
female impersonation.
Billy Ellwood, the comedy cartoon
ist, drew a number of lightning
sketches all Of which were literally
applauded by the audience.
The Great Fowlers, the European
acrobats and hand balancers. did some
truly amazing stunts and received
much applause.
Manager Webster is to be congratu-
lated on the quality of the bin which
he Is now offering our people, and ev-
cry person who delights in vaudeville
of class should attend tonight or to-
morrow night.
The Christmas matinee, which will
be given on Saturday afternoon for
the school children OF Moorhead and
Fargo, promises to be real treat for
the tots, and as the admission is free
no doubt two performances will have
TO be given, In order that all may
see the bin. Manager Webster says.
that IL necessary he will give three
shows. but he wants every school child
in the two cities to be there and att
tend the great free Christmas matinee

North Dakota is essentially farm

we nave our city problems and very
real ones they are. That there il
no lack of interest in the advance

Of interest The feature of the pro.
gram was an address by DR.. John
NJ Gillette, of the department Of So
GEOLOGY at the state university. Dr..
Gillette has read widely and studied
deeply into the proglems of city and
rural life. His study of "The City,

leadership" has been attracting ma
tion-wide attention.
His topic yesterday afternoon was,
"Cvic improvement in Small Cities"
In discussing that topic he said in
part:
1T seems to be peculiarly true of
our American cities that there has
been very little OF really purposeful
effort put forth in their planning or
development They seem to have
grown as best they might and we
have taken their growth and devel-
ment pretty much for granted. If
they have attained to anything like
real beauty and civic efficiency it
may almost be said to have been
in spite of our random efforts than
because Of them. If this is true of
the nation as whole. it is peculiarly
true of North Dakota, where our
early years have been occupied with
the very engrossing problem of estab
lisling ourselves in a new land and
adapting ourselves to new conditions
which at times, have seemed not any
too favorable. But the pioneer stage
is a thing of the past with us now
and it behooves us to turn out
thoughts toward the many agencies
or city betterment which lie ready
at our hands even in the smaller of
our North Dakota municipalities.
Your federation itself is one of the
strongest expressions of this new
movement in our state. Even a small

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct.9-Ortie
f. McManigal who in a confession de-

of John and James Mcnamara in a
conspiracy which involved murder and
destruction all over the country, lived
an uneyentful life. as he himself des

He was born at Bloomville, Ohio,
April l, 1874. His mother died when
he was years old, and her parents,
who lived at the same place, took
him and his sister and cared for them
until he was six or seven years OF
Hge. Then his father remarked, and
took the children back to his home,
where they remained until Ortie was
,bout twelve years old. A separa-
lion then occurred between father
and stepmother, and the children
were sent to live with the fathers
parents in Hutchinson, kas.. where
hey lived for year or two.
When NcManigal was about u
vears old his father ventured for
,hird time into matrimony, and took
his children with him to a farm near
Forest, Ohio, shortly afterward they
removed to Tiffon Ohio, where Nc
Manigal senior is still living.
But Mrs. McManigal the third, oh

said, and so once again he and his
sister were sent to the home of their
mothers parents in B1oomville. There
McManigal stayed until he was nine
teen, when he returned to Tiffon to
work with his father in the ice bust
ness and in stone quarries.
When war was declared against
Spain in 1898, McManigal enlisted,

of the military service he went to Mil

to answer questions propounded in
the grand jury room, wanted him to
become a railroad worker.
He started to enter railroad en-
D]oyment, but later went into quarry
in Milwaukee and afterWard worked
in a foundry there. Then he removed

and worked for copper concern.
