A Popular Band.

w. G. DeBaugh, the director of
the Goth Century band, which has
been engaged by the directors of the
Corn Belt Exposition, to be help at
Mitchell, S. D. from Sept. Goth to
Oct. 8th, inclusive, by his original
methods and the striking novelties,
which he has introduced into his
programme, has been successful in
making his band the one great popu-
lar musical success of the day. For
the past two seasons, this band has
given nearly 500 concerts, at the
great San Souci Park Chicago, before
nearly two millions of people. The
people attending the Exposition
will undoubtedly have the pleasure OF
enjoying the greatest musical treat,
ever afforded the people of Soutl!
Dakota.

AT THE CORN PALACE
Good Progress is Being Made in All
Departments of Work-Ad-
vertising Sent Out.

Every day sees the decorations at
the corn palace progressing that
much nearer the end. The work
on the outside is being done in fine
shape and it is being rushed along
just as fast as possible. Since the
middle tower was raised ten feet it
has given Mr.. Robe a better chance
to decorate it and is now much more
attractive, and improves the appear
ance of the building very much in
deed.
DR.. Dundass sent a big bunch of
advertising matter for the corn palace
to Yankton this morning to bill the
town thoroughly during state fair
week. While the time is short for
advertising the state will be thor
oughly covered this and next week.
A quantity of matter will be sent to
La good many Iowa points.
Nat H. High, the advance man of
DeBaugh's Twentieth Century Con-
cert Band, Of Chicago, arrived in the
city late yesterday afternoon, with a
large quantity of advertising matter
for the band. MI. High will cover
the state with bands advertising
for the corr palace week. This ex-
cellent musical organization will
furnish the music during the week
of the corn palace. MI. High is very
enthusiastic over his band and said
that there was not the slightest
question but what the band would
give better satisfaction to the general
public than any musical organization
that has previously played in the
palace. He has some attractive adj
yertising and it will be distributed
generously over the state. Mr.. High
is interested in bringing a large
crowd to Mitchell during the week.
The ladies L working away in
the gallery every day and they will
have their part Of the decorations
completed on time. They are taking
hold of the work in a commendable
manner that shows a strong zeal to
work for the benefit of the city.

Life In Tie cnnntrr.

In the country every morning OF the
year brings with il new aspect or
sprlnging or fading nature, n new duty
to be fulfilled upon earth and a new
promise or warning in heaven. No
day is without its innocent hope, It's
special prudence, It's kindly gift and
its sublime danger. and in every proc
ess OF wise husbandry and every effort
OF contending or remedial courage the
wholesome passions. pride and bodily
power OF the laborer, are excited and
exerted In happiest unison. The com
partnership OF domestic and the care of
serviceable animals soften and enlarge
his life with lowly charities and disci-
pline him In familiar wisdom and I'M
boastful fortitudes. while the divine
laws OF secdtime. which cannot be re-
called. harvest, which cannot be has
tened, and winter. In which no man
can work. compel the impotence and
coveting Of his heart into labor too
submissive to be anxious and rest too
sweet to be wanton.-John Ruskin.

There was at least one responsive

an English village. and it happened
this way.
