Mccormack Enthralls Big Audience
In Concert Thursday Evening; Voice
Perfect for First Appearance

John McCormac&'s reputation for
drawing crowds was maintained to
a marked degree when he appeared in
concert in Fargo last evening, the
Fargo auditorium being filed as no
other artist has ever been able to fill
it.
The famous and beloved Irish tenor
was made to feel that North Dakota
was thoroughly appreciative OF the
artistic in song, and If he came to Far
go with any other notion, surely the
reception accorded him last evening
must have convinced him Of his err
ror. "-..
1t was in the group of Irish folk
songs well on in the evenings pro-
gram, that he thoroughly captivated
his audience, and responding to three
encores, he sang Mother Machree, The
Little Gray Home in the West, and I
Hear You Calling Me. AS the ac-
companist sounded the first notes of
each song, new outburst Of en-
thusiasm and appreciation came from
the tremendous audience that seemed
completely enthralled with the artists
work. An ovation probably never
equalled in Fargos musical history,

Inspected Work and Accepted Job, "a
Kennedy & Mccoy Cannot Be
Held Liable, Cole Holds,

Judge A. T. Cole directed verdict
for the contractors yesterday after
noon In the case of the City of Fargo
against Kennedy & Mccoy, contrac-
tors, and the Dakota Trust Co. in
which the city was seeking to recover
on alleged defective sidewalks nut
down by the contractors. The intro
duction Of evidence was completed
yesterday afternoon shortly after 3
o'clock
In 1912 the firm of Kennedy & Me-
coy composed Of Robert Kennedy and
". T. Mccoy, was awarded the con-
tract for putting down sidewalks
ordered by the city. The work for
the year amounted to $4,000. The CITY
alleged that $3.50 worth Of this work
was not constructed according ~
specifications, having crumbled. ana
will have to be relaid.
The court held that inasmuch al the
city had maintained constant inspec-
tion, and had accepted the work ii
could not maintain an action.

was rendered Mccormack.
When the concert program closed
the audience refused to be denied
another encore, and Mccormack final
ly responded. 81
Thorough appreciation OF the SPLEEN
did work of Edwin Schneider, plan
list, was also accorded by the audi
ence, and when Mccormack sang
"Your Eyes," OF which which Mr.,
Schneider is the composer, he was
twice compelled to arise and bow his
acknowledgment.
McCormack's voice was perfect; 1t
reached hearers through every por-
ton of the big auditorium, and the
perfect enunciation, so marked and
still accomplished seemingly without
an effort, added greatly to the pleas
ure of the program.
Donald McBeath, violinist, who has
been with Mccormack several seasons,
was heartily received, his several num-
bers being exceptionally pleasing.
1t is hardly probable that an audi
ence so representative Of this portiC6p
Of the northwest has ever before been
gathered at a musical event in this
state.

URIC ACID

Every since the discovery Of Scheele
in 1775 that uric acid was found within
the body-most eminent physicians
agree that rheumatism is caused by it;
also many distressing symptoms as
headache, pain in back, stomach dis.
tress, swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
Neglected kidney trouble is responsible
iUr many deaths.
II was DR.. Pierce of the Invalids'
Hotel. Buffalo, N. Y, who discovered
q new agent called Anuric, a harmless
remedy-that if taken before meals will
carry off the uric acid from the system
and in this way the pains and aches, the
creaky joints and all the distressing
symptoms of rheumatism and other
maladies disappear. You can easily
prove this yourself by obtaining An
