1t doesn't pay to work the physical
ability OF a man to the limit, as is
noticed in the case of Charles Schwab
the noted iron king. Mr.. Schwab is
vastly wealthy, yet his health is in
a %precarious state, and he is required
by his physicians to give up all
business worry and take a rest. MI.
Schwab has risen from the ranks of
the Workingman and at the zenith
OF his life he is required to give way
to restore his health. And he is do
ing just what his physicians have
told him, by refusing to see even
his relatives.

The papers around the state are
giving some kindly criticisms and adj
vice to the railroads in the state
with reference to the running Of
trains SO far behind the schedule
time, thus causing any amount of
discomfort to the public and to bust
ness in general. 1t is true that the
roads I being driven to desperation
to meet the wants of the travelling
public in South Dakota and farther
east for that matter. We don't
suppose that the railroads like it
any than the people do, but there is
great room for improvement IN the
service that is accorded the travellers
in this state. 1t is very frequently
the case that the engines lack the
capacity to pull the heavy trains and
they necessarily run behind schedule
time from one to three hours late.
With heavier enignes the railroads
could meet the requirements.

There is every indi on that
Mitchell will have a corn palace this
year. The financial soliciting com
mittee has made the rounds and suffi-
Gent money has been donated by the
liberal business men of the city to
insure the affair being held. While
the time is short to make the ar
engagements in the way of securing a
decorator to begin work on the build
ing and to secure the attractions yet
it can be done. 1t was done two
years ago and a successful palace re-
suited. What it needs is for every
person in Mitchell to.get behind the
enterprise and push for it in every
possible way. The palace must be
made a success and The Republican
knows from PAST experience that
there is enough hustling ability
among the people of this city to do
the work required and do it well, too.
There has been nc year in the past
WILL VI OVO1NS W1lCll a COlu pdldCS
was as necessary as at the present
time. The crops OF the country are
the best, there is more desire on the
part of the general to 60 some place
this fall and there is no town in the
state that can offer a more genuine
attraction than can Mitchell with
her corn palace. Everyone that
she has held turned out more sue
c%essful, and it is generally accepted
that these corr palace shows have done |
more to advertise the resources of
South Dakota than any other at
traction ever put up by any town.
With the money raised let every
consider the interests of
Mitchell and get to work to do what |
they can in their way to make the
corn palace a success.

The moisture that is covering the

The moisture that is covering the
state in these days is all right
enough in its way but it is doing
some damage to the wheat crop
already harvested. The fellows from
Iowa who are travelling over the
state at the present time are getting
one thing impressed on their minds,
and that is that it rains in South
Dakota with nearly the same volume
that it does in their own state. The
superstition I'VE in Iowa is that
there are a good many months in
the year when it does not rain in
this state.

Sioux Falls has commenced to
make her preparations for the
anticipated visit of President Roose-

low railroad rates there ought to be
an immense crowd of people in the

he was plain Teddy Roosevelt and in
his exalted position as president of
the United States the people of the

RUINOUS EARTHQUAKES.
land of Mindanao-Many Ma
tives Killed

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The war de-
partment has received a cablegram
from Gen. Chaffee, at Manila, report
ing the occurrence of a series of earth
quakes on the Island of Mindanao.
Twenty persons were killed by falling
walls, the victims all being Moros. The
Americans in the vicinity escaped and
the dispatch says there were no re-
ports that any of the soldiers occupy
ing that portion of the island affected
sustained any injuries. The upheaval
occurred in the country adjacent to
the Lake OF Lanao, in the Moro Sec
ton of the island, near Camp Vickers,
which is now the headquarters of the
American forces stationed in Min
danao.
Gen. Chaffee's cablegram says the
mountains and rivers and other
streams were considerably disturbed
and much damage was done. The eX-
tent of the damage, however, was not
reported. 1t is presumed here that
the seismic shocks occurred about five
days ago, though the date is not men
toned in the dispatch.
This is the first serious earthquake
reported from that country during
American occupation of the Philip
pines. The most important previous
seismic disturbance in Mindanao was
the one that partly destroyed Palak,
Kota-Batu, and the village on the
banks of the River Mindanao in 1872.
This phenomenon closely followed the
eruption OIL the volcano of Makaturin.
Gen. Chaffee also cabled that the
military situation in that section re-
mains quiet and unchanged. No at
tacks have been made on the Ameri-
can forces at Camp Vickers. since the
last report, which was cabled eight
DAYS ago.

TRADE REVIEW.
How the Business Situation Appears
to Leading Commercial
Agencies.

New York Aug. 30.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: "Grad-
ual resumption of anthracite coal min
ing is encouraging, although the out
put is not yet sufficient to have any
commercial value. Business conditions
are unsatisfactory at the strike CEN
ter, but reports from all other sec
lions indicate unusually prompt revival
after the summer vacation season,
with exceptionally large operations
among dealers in the agricultural re-
gions. Notwithstanding some bad
weather, large crops are now practi-
cally assured, although the most san
guine results may not be attained.
Manufacturing plants are now fully
occupied as a rule, the least gratifying
reports coming from furnaces that
cannot secure coke owing to railway
blockades. The transportation prob
lem is becoming serious, as the fac
tor of crop moving is about to be added
and, moreover, much coal must be
moved by rail that usually goes to
consumers by lake and canal. Fail
ures for the week numbered 173 in the
United States, against 202 last year,
and IA in Canada, against 81 year
ago"
Bradstreet's says: august closes
with jobbing activity apparently at it's
height in the northern half of the
country and the total volume of the
months operations probably in excess
of any similar period in previous years.
Actively instrumental in bringing
about this result are the continued
good crop prospects"
