A Tale of The Sea.

A local fisherman and general roust-
abont took it into his head to break the
tenth commandment the other day.
This led up to infringing on the eighth.
and last night he borrowed for an in
delininite period good row-boat be-
longing to Mr.. Engle living west of the
city and embarked on the gentle cur
rent of the majestic and mighty Smoky.
After II miles of sea-faring he became
weary and tied up the vessel. This
morning the owner missing his proper
ty set off down stream, rightly judging
that the robber would be too lazy to
row up the current, and at length found
the boat which he brought home. He
will get out warrant and endeavor to
teach the ambitious sailor that the way
of the transgressor is hard.

The managers take pleasure In announc-
ing that the Sioux City Corn Palace (sec-
ond annual festivaD will be formally
opened on the gath Of September, 1888.
President Cleveland made his sole de-
parture from his route as pre-arranged in

treaties Of Mrs. Cleveland, that they might
feast their eyes on the wonders OF that
years Corn Palace, and at the same time
witness the marvellous progress of Sioux

World" President Cleveland, in an out
burst Of admiration, said: This Corn
Palace is the first really new thing that has

pew, standing with Cornelius X. Wander
bilt and other gentlemen, referring to the
Corn Palace, said: Il have been all over

ural and unnatural curiosities, but l have
never before seen Corn Palace"
Encouraged by the compliments of these

Of 81 such an unparalleled success, the
business men Of Sioux City have formed
stock company for the purpose OF repeat
ing it on an immensely grander scale, in
tent upon making it one of the solid and en-
during institutions of the country, and an
attractive feature OF Sioux City. In the
light of valuable experience il is their de-
termination that the Corn Palace of 1888
shall outrival in design, construction and
beauty any building ever before erected;
that il shall be he eighth Won
der of the world; o temple to
Mondamin, surprising any structure erect
ed by pagan hands to any other of the
deities. The idea 10 unique and absolutely
original. No other Corn Palace was ever
before built, nor was the design therefor
ever conceived in the brain of man. lis
the one new thing under the sun. Those
who invented it "builded even wiser than
they knew" for the marvellous creation ex-
ceeded in beauty, in magnitude, and in orig
inality, all the widest dreams Of the orig
inators. Hitherto the hand of man had
erected palaces of stone, and marble, and
ice, but the Sioux City Palace was like
Victor Hugo's conception of Waterloo, ga
change of front of the universe" an event
that altered the course of empire and for
ever crowned Sioux City as 1.-THE only
Corn Palace City of the World" 1t is the
realization of an idea that fixes Sioux City
for all time as the seat of empire Of King
