The management OF tho Sioux City,
Ia, Corn Palace, which opens Sept. 25
and closes Oct. IL, has determined to
make this years carnival the grandest
Of them all. To this end the fourth an
nual Corn Palace festival will In every
respect represent tho resources OF the
great northwest. The building itself is
a stately structure, covering an acre or
more of ground in the very heart OF
ciouA Cfty. HNiIfbits from Jlvzvu or
more different states are now being
placed in position. There will be many
county displays from South Dakota,
Minnesota, Nebraska and Iowa.
One OF the features Of Corn Palace is
!he novelty of its interior and exterior
decoration. The entire outside is orna-
mentcd with the various species and col
ors of corn, while the interior is trimmed
and beautified by the nimble fingers of
300 ladies. A description of its beauty
would be next to an impossibility. The
Palace this year will be illuminated day
and night by thousands of incandescent
lights and arc lamps. Upon entering the
Palace one feels as IL in fairy land, the
ceiling being studded with incandcscent
lights, twinkling from back ground of a
soft blue hue. To the extreme end
fartherest from the entrance is forty
foot water fall, carrying with it all the
effects produced by numerous lights Of
various colors.
The palace will be open every day and
evening. During each afternoon and

whnt Is q Corn PaIaceY

The Sioux City Corn Palace-and
there was never Corn Palace outside of
Sioux City-is palace covered and en-
bellished, as with tapestry, outside and
inside, with products of the field, corn
predominating, ingeniOusly and fanci-
fully arranged. In building the palace
a large structure is first erected of lum-
ber, in a shape that will carry and show
to advantage the multiform decorations
with which IL Is to be adorned. 1t IS in
form lofty, with broken lines, pinnaclcs,
buttrcsses, bridges, gables, ornamental
windows, etc.
Over every inch of this wooden surface
are laid corn and kindred plants in ar
chitectural harmony, in multi
plicity of designs. The corn is
employed in the stalk, the ear,
the kernel, and cven tho husk
has its decorative uses. All the grains
and grasses of the field lend themselves
10 the beautifying Of tho palace. The
walls are covered on the outside with
ears OF corn, cut lengthwlse OF cross
wise, and nailed on in gcometrical figures
or other designs. The various colors OF
the cereal permit OF wide range OF
shading and colorlng, while It's artistic
possibilities, developed from year TO year
in building the palace, admit OF the pro-
duction Of effects that are as startling
rs plcasurable.

OF 1880 was King Corn's crown as cM4
nucleus of sunburst, whllo below was
the national flag In graceful folds-all
wrought In vari-colored corn as true and
as beautiful as IL painted by an artists
brush. The roof is oyeraid with corn
leaves. Pinnacles and columns arc
capped with the sorghum plant, or with
grains and grasses. Tho irridescent
walls, seen from near distance, seem
to be a rich mosaic Of polished woods,
while with the
"BaEners, yellow, glorious, golden"
that
'.From its roof-trce float and flow,"
the palace enraptures the beholder as
one who looks upon a cloud-palnted
mansion that may dissolve before his
eyes.
The interior work is finer and moro
elaborate. Here the kernel of the corn
is largely employed, producing amazing
wrought pictures, illustrating farm
ETC., with fidelity that is calculated to
raise doubt that the material employed
is the homely utilitarian growth Of west
ern farms. Frescoes and flowers, figures
of persons and animals, draperies and
thousands Of surprising and beautiful
things are made of field plants for tho
delight of the visitors TO the palace,
whose astonishment is succeeded by ad-
miration of the genius that conceived
and developed so much of art and beauty
from such homely fabrics as are
employed.

Sioux City Paaceopens Sept 25;

evening there will be concerts by the
celebrated Elgin military band, Prof. j.
Hecker, formerly bandmastcr Of the
Eigty-second regiment Prince of Wales
volunteers, director. This band Is con-
sidered one of the finest musical organi-
cations In America. The repertoire of
the band consists of 5000 pieces
and they could give two concerts
day for year and not repeat
single number This splendid organi-
zation is made up of seventy skilled mu-
sicians, and in itself is a grand card for
Sioux City. There are so many features
in connection with this years Corn Palace,
that space will not permit extended
notice. The trades parades consist OF
novel floats representing the various in
dustries of the city and the great north
west. These parades occur in the morn
ing shortly before the noon hour,
and pass over the principal streets
of the city. On days not devoted to
trades parades, there will be the cele
brated King Korn carnival pageant,
something unique and never before wit
messed in the northwest. The dazzling
and novel pageants will be designed by
the French artist, Francois Dubois, who
has been brought over by the Mardi
Gras authorities to design and equip
next years carnival at New Orleans.
1t will be impossible at this time to say
just what this parade will be, and, in
deed, in great measure the matter will
be kept secret, but the assurance is
given that no such parade and no such
magnificent costumes and equipments
have ever been seen north of
New Orleans, as will be witnessed dur
T.. ID.Ic
hundred costumed horses and plumod
knights, with glittering chariots and
floats will take part in these pageants,
and give amusement to the thousands
who crowd the streets. Every railroad
centering at Sioux City, as well as all
tributary lines have made rate OF one
fare for the round trip, and 1t is safe to
predict Sioux City will, between the
dates Of Sept. 25 and Oct IL, have the
largest gathering OF people ever as
sembled in any Iowa city.

When the birds have had their full fare
or this product OF the plow-share;
When the squirrels know the secret
or Mondamin's golden treasure,
When the Farmers heart rejoices
That the grain is safe in shelter
Then the people OF the prairies
or the valleys and the by-ways,
or the cities, plains and highways,
Say with look OF proud complaisance:-
"We will build a stately palace
Like unto castle olden
With its turrets high and golden,
With its ramparts and emblasure,
And from parapet to flagstaff
IL shall be OF Maize sweet rlpened,
BY the sun and wind OF summer,
by the ozone ana the dew-fall,
by the magic wand OF Ceres
And the sturdy hand OF granger.
Whom the harvest moon shone fairest,
When the cricl1ets chirped in covert,
An the locust wings were tuning
All L.. air harps in summer nooning,
When We larks were in the meadow
And the L0ttle drowsed in shadow
Then was mother earth in secret
Busy with her chemic forces
In fruition OF Mondamln,
For the palace OF Mondamin,
To be reared in western city
Proud and prosperous Sioux City.
For unique designs in landscape,
Pediment and arch in fresco,
Motto monogram, and story
Statue, bric-a-brac, and corn-bloom
Wild verbena, morningglory,
Flowers sweet in song and story
Pansy, rose and golden lily,
Purple iris from the squaw corn,
Tiny seed-pearls loved OF children,
Who around the winter hearthstone
Love to watch the glowing embers
Turn to fake, these gems of Ceres.
And the throng in vast procession
Shall with music, song and triumph,
Crown this king OF fields and harvest
Monarch of a boundless kingdom;
Fen to verge of mount and forest
And areas stretching seaward
This domain of trade and commerce.
And the palace fair and stately
II shall be to palmer's vision
To the pilgrim OF true progress
In the onward march OF nations.
In the legends OF the nations,
Chronicle Of song and story
In the rune OF Hiawatha
Measure of the Kalevala.
Song of Mondamin.
! Oh, am the king OF grander realm
Than monarch or czar may own.
The forces OF nature my vassals are
And the wide, gray earth my throne.
MY banners hung on thousand hills
Their radiant oriflamme;
And the air was athrill with resonant song
OF welcome, when came.
And mono but I the miracle knew;
How from the humble seed
The mystic wonder of harvest grew
In answer to human need.
The song OF vintage resounds at eve,
And echoes at early morn,
But the sweetest melody OF the year
Is heard in the rustling corn.
And / am the mystic warder
That stands at the autumn's gate
Mondanlin, the carnival spirit
That rules at the Palace fete.
And my song is OF Joy and gladness--
A rune without favor or fear
The NTH but never the sadness
That comes with the waning year.
For am the king OF grander realm
Than monarch or czar may own.
The forces OF nature my vassals are
And tho wide. gray earth my throne.

The Right to Make EInei Towers.

Ten months after Eiffels contract
was made with the government he
made another witha goldsmith named
Jaluzot, by which he granted TO the
latter for six years the exclusive
right TO the reproduction Of the tower
in large or small size, and in any ma
terial whatever. and agreed to lend
him the working drawings, sell him
the borlngs and remnants Of the
metal used Ia the construction Of the
tower oui of which Jaluzot intended
10 make little models and sell them as
being of the same material as the
tower Ja, l0t proposed also 10 make
small gold models, TO be put in jewell

hc made a lIguberof agreements with

EiiioA moHo;er was by his contract
10 receive a percentage Of the price of

About a year /! ter this contract was
made. JaluzCi found that a model

Jaiuzot then brougll all action against
Dijeon and Pasquier Tor infringement
Of copyright, and an action OF war
ranty against Eiilel TO compel him to
make good the loss caused by the in
fringement. The court, however,
found that Eiffel. by his contract with
the state. had conveyed TO il all his
rights and privileges connected with
the tower, including the right of re-
producing his design; that the conces-
sion given him in return comprised
the right Of admitting visitors TO the
tower and of subleiting the restau-
rants, but did not convey back TO him
the copyright Of the design. which,
therefore, now belonged to the gov
ernment, and thus 10 the public. In
selling, therefore. the exclusive right
Of reproducing the design TO Jaluzot
he sold what lac did not own, and the
sale was consequently void, but the
court held that he was bound TO make
good TO Jaluzot whatever damage the
latter suffered through the mistake.
Meanwhile, Pasquier had brought
suit against Jaluzot for indemnity for
the damage he had suffered through
the interruption of his scheme for an
American exhibition, aud the court
decided that be was night, and that
Jaluzot should pay him $1,000, which
Eiffel. in his turn, should make good
TO Jaluzot, and ordered Eifiel TO pay
all the costs of all the suits.-Ameri-
