ANOTHER PALACE
Business Men of Mitchell Are Nov
ing for It.

another corn palace this fall. The bus1-
ness men were canvassed on the propo-
sition and signif1ed their willingness to
support the enterprise by subscribing over
$4,000 to a fund to defray expenses. AS
between a street fair and a corn palace
the citizens much prefer the latter.

lected: L. o. Gale, president in charge OF
the attractions; H. r. Kibbee, secretary
and treasurer; DR.. r. F. Dundass, adver-
tising; IS. H. Scallin, buildings and deco

cured to decorate the building. The ex-
terror will be covered with grains and
grasses, as in former years, and new deco
ratiOns will be placed on the interior by
the ladies. Mr.. Gale has gone east to Sc
cure the attractions and will contract for
some splendid musical organization. The
dates have not been settled upon, but 1t
is likely the last days in September and
the first week in October will be selected.
. This city will have a better train SER
vice over, the Omaha road, commencing
Sunday: A new night train will be run to
the twin cities. The train will leave here
at 1880 p. m. and arrive at 9:15 a. m. A

pose of hunting ducks and chickens. at

reservation to look over certain lands
