The Corn Palace OF 1850.

The Third Annual Corn Palace and
Harvest Festival will be held In Sioux
City, Sept. % to Oct. 9Th, 1889. The two
preceding palaces hays gained = world,
wide reputation, and many who have
seen this marvellous blending Of Ma
lures silent work and the handicraft Of
man have named it THE Eighth Won
der of the World 1t is only these who
have seen the Corn Palace who can ap-
preciate ito beauties, and few whs have
the power to describe 1t. No cut or pic
ture can give adequate idea Of its won
ders. The world has heard of its new
effects; the blending Of greens and
colds, Of yellOws and the unuamable,
exquisite tints which the earth, the sun
and the rain have given our native
grains and grasses; of lights and shades
OF which the artist never before dream
cd, and it is hoped that thousands more
will avail themselves Of the opportuni-
ty to SEE it this year. 1t is believed that
those who do will feel that they have
seen the sight of lifetime.
The Corn Palace of 1889 will be diff
fcrcnt from either of the others. Ex.
periencc has done much to perfect its
plans Of decoration. In length it will
he 24O feet: width, 100 feet, and will
have central tower POO feet in height.
1t contains double auditorium 90 feet
in length, with an immense music stand,
covered by a sounding board which i'll
sures the best acoustic effects. The
music this year will be furnished by the
famous Sevcnty-frs Regiment band, Of
New York. Ample facilities arc pro-
vided for county and state exhibits, and
in this respect the Corn Palace will con.
tain more of value and of interest them
any agricultural fair ever held. Con.
trlbutions are invited from all over the
world, the prizes being particularly at
tractive and definite.
Sioux City is well provided with &C.
commOdatiOns for the throngs. She haf
excellent, cOmmodious hotels, and many
sights OF interest. No money or pains
will be spared in providing entertain
ment for the guests. and one day will
vie with another in its program Of con-
certs, parades, celebrations and illumi-
notions. Cheap excursion rates are Of
fered on all railroads; In many instances
special trains will be run. Communi.

General Sherman and Tuttle.

General Sherman has this advantage over
General futile, that he is soldier and
gentleman, and the advantage is very great
one when its possessor is called upon to con-
slider matters involving soldery and gentle7
manly principles OF conduct. General Shetq
man has expressed his opinion as to General
Tuttle's threat that Iowa soldiers Of the G.
A. r. would insult the president OF the United
States II he should venture to appear In St.
Louis next fall in response to the invitation
already extended to him, aud there seems to ba
very little of General futile LETT. futile said
that the Iowa soldiers would ''snub and insult
Mr. Cleveland" General Sherman says they
will do nothing OF the kind, and In support
OF his opinion offers to stake his life But
that is not all. General Sherman II not only
convinced that no soldier who fought, for his
country viii insultthe chief magistrate Of his
sountry, chosen By the people to represent
the nation, he is equally firm in the opiplon
that no soldier or citizen could do such .
thing without showing himself to be wholly
lost to all sense Of decency and propriety and
that Is what all decent people thought and
said when General Tuttle's threat was first
published.-Nep York Commercial advertiser,

An Elmira Blind Man Used as Tool.
dispatch from Eimira, N. Y, to The
Philadelphia Press says: Frank Patterson, the
blind pauper who Lately received Sl3, 322 back
pension money from the government, left this
state while legal proceedings were in progress

Ills wife and daughter accompanied him,
They were found at Wllliamsport, Pa, by
Dr. Mills, who held power Of attorney from
the pensioncr. There he cashed GER

ALL COUNTIES OF IOWA
Are Invited To Participate in General
Exhibit Upon The State Fair Grounds.

At this time, while the various advan.
tages and attractions of the several L.
calities of the state Of Iowa are being
presented to people in eastern States,
with view OF securing to Iowa those
who may contemplate change Of loca-
ton, we are persuaded to believe that
the Scht me that has been proposed If
having every county Of the state repre-
scented upon the State Fair grounds this
coming fair would very greatly aid in
this dire ctiOn; because a large number
Of people could avail themselves of the
opportunity of visiting our State and
practically see the advantages of all the
different counties.
The proposition is to procure large
canvass tent, sufficient in size to allow
each county space Of at least Sxl2 IT.,
with large halls or passage ways. A
tent with sufficient room for each of our
~ counties and space allotted for the
accommodation and use of the entire
press of our State, the estimated cost
would be about 1928 per county, Or
o., 800 for the tent or tents. The ter s
would become the property of tho dI =
ferent counties Jointly under this plar 4,
and could be used for like purposes la
years to com,
The matter for advertising the vari-
Gus counties, should be agreed upon by
those in charge in the different counties.
1t should embrace printe matter in
some form, giving full details of the
resources Of the county, together with
samples of its natural products, of stone,
coal, sand, brick, tile, otc. Illustrations
should not be omitted, in fact, any
thing and everything that will give our
visitors true and correct idea of the
resources and advantages of the several
counties. THIS county display i'll con-
nectiOn with our state Fair exhibit will
undoubtedly prove of immediate, great
and lasting benefit to each county #
our state, and it is to be hoped cause
the advantages OF every county of the
state to be written up and generally
distributed to the people in the east.
Well informed men should be in attend
ance from each county, rs their person
al knowledge would greatly assist in the
enterprise. The State Agricultural So
ciety will extend all reasonable encour-
agement to the success of this undertake
ing, and will endeavor to make this
visit. All counties desiring to be repre-

my stomach and sides and a spinal af-
lection which threatened paralysis,
applied two Plasters, extending from

for month. took the six bottles of
