A Picturesque u II

The Dell Rapids Tribune pays the
following left-handed compliment to
the Huron people on their attitude
in the capital campaign. 1t may be
possible that before another year
rolls around that Huron people will
take another view Of the situation
and vote just as she has hollered for
twelve years or more:
h The Huron Huronlte says that IS
per cent of the vote Of Huron will be
for Pierre for capital. Up to a few
months ago it was the unanimous
opinion at Huron that Pierre is not
a fit place for the capital, but Mitch
ell having been chosen instead Of
Huron as the candidate against
Pierre. the people of Huron are swal-
lowing everything they have said for
ten years past and propose to vote for
Pierre. Huron is%.dolng,,a picturesque
stunt as the dog..in the.manger.

4 Daring Eskimo Lover.

Ayoung Eskimo had secretly courted
the daughter Of an enemy. The huts
Of the lovers were not far removed,
but n night the terrific cold ripped a
great crevass in the ice, and the young
mans house was left isolated. Asgorge
100 feet, deep and twenty feet wide
separated it from the igloo, or hut,
containing his sweetheart, but there
was a narrow bridge of Ice left across
the crevasse, and this, the young man
found, would bear his weight. Eski-
mos sleep in bags. The lover decided
that he would that night cross the ice
bridge, steal the maiden he loved, bear
her to his hut and then break down the
bridge so that he and she together
might enjoy their honeymoon unmo-
Tested. He planned very successfully.
he crept in the dead Of night into his
enemy's hut, he snatched up the maid
en- in her sack without awaking n
one, he bore her over the ice bridge
safely, and then he opened the sack to
embrace his bride; but, beholding its
contents, he gave a loud cry. 1t was
not the maiden, but her father, that he
had stolen.

BANDA RossA is ENDORSED
Its Magnificent Playing Highly Com
mented on by the Press Of
the Country.

Recently, some time in June, the
Banda Rosa played an engagement
at n of the leading parks in st.
Louis and the comment of the St.
Louis Globe-D Democrat onlthe playing
of the band shows it to be one that
will make a great hit when it APP
pears at the corn palace in.this city
the last ten days in September. The.
management is very fortunate in Sc
curing this band and although the
expense Of the ten days will be more
than double that paid any other mu-
steal organization which has played
in the corn palace the crowds: will
no doubt be much larger than,ever,
before. The Globe-D Democrat says: -
EugeniO %Sorrentino, leader of the
Banda Rosa. has completed the first
week of his engagement at Suburban
park, where he will remain two
weeks longer. The engagement is a
real event in summer amusements
and INT to which the public will be-
come more awake before many more
concerts have been given. There
seems to be a greater difference in.
bands than in any other kind of. mu-
steal enterprise, and though many ex-
cellent ones have been here in the
past season, it is not too much to say
that Mr.. Sorrentino has won a degree
Of approval from musicianly people
that has not been accorded to any of
his competitors. just wherein be
differs from others it is not easy to
decide. Perhaps it is the matter of
discipline over his men. This is al
ways apparent, his musicians OBJ
ylously regarding him much in the
light of a merciless superior officer.
Yet there is something highly pleas
ing in his manner and appearance,
despite the bulky figure that is just
khaki. There are two qualities where
in the red band excels. One is in its
marvellous unanimity, from the in
slant of attack to the final note.
The finish in this particular suggests
some complicated instrument operat-
ed by one player. The other point
OF. excellence, noted by all who have
heard the concerts, is the degree Of
fexibility with which. the brass in
struments are played. They come as
near sgiving the qualities in the mind
Of the composer as reeds and strings
commonly. do, ..and..almost as perfectly
as human voices. Everyone acknow-.
Lodges, too, the.s.cheerful spirit in
which Sig. S%orrentino responds to the
St. Louis encore..hablt. All his pro-
grammes are made two-fold or even
%th1ee-fold in length by reason Of re-
quest numbers and encores. And it
is all done ina spirit Of perfect cheer
fitness. The special solo feature Of
the band is the work of Sig. Bottega,
who is the most wonderful trumpeter
ever heard in this country.

INSPECTING THE CROPS
Chicago Commission Firm Sends an
Expert Through This Country
to See Crops.

James C1ombie, a crop-expert rep
resenting A. J. White & Co., con
mission merchants, Chicago, spent a
part Of the day driving through the
country in the vicinity of Mitchell
Wednesday, making a thorough in
spection Of the crop situation. Mr..
Crombie, after he returned to the
city, was enthusiastic over the out
look for corn and was more than
pleased with the way wheat, oats
and barley had turned out. He said
he had Travelled through Illinois, Ok
lahomaN Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska, and that South Dakota, from
the southern border to Mitchell, far
exceeded either one of those states in
the matter of corn. He didn't ex-!
pect to find it so when he came up
into this country, although he had
heard of the great crop that was be-
ing raised here this year. Mr.. Crom-
bic said he was forced to the conclu-
sion by the actual condition of things
that South Dakota makes the great
est showing of corn Of any Of the
states that be has inspected this
summer. He said he felt the same
way about the wheat, oat and barley
situation. He said he inspected these
three grains also and was surprised
beyond question to find them SO
abundant and so promising Of a heavy
yield. Before leaving the city for
Aberdeen he said he wrote bis firm
the most encouraging letter from
this point as to the crop conditions,
and he thought the people in this
vicinity ought to be in a contented
condition with what the land pro-
dnces this year. .rS

A kun On cheru. Girls.

A British theatrical manager recently
returned to London after an eighteen
months tour through the colonies with
a comic opera company. He left Lon
don with thirty-fve ladies, chorus and
principals. At Gibraltar his troubles
began-two of the girls got married and
left. At Cairo he lost another in the
same way. At Bombay he missed one
of his chorus in the first scene and ON
going behind to demand where she was
had her pointed out to him sitting in a
box. The damsel had been married that
morning and had come around to see
her friends play, He lost another at

two at Valparaiso, until at last, not be-
ing able to replace the deserters, hia

SHIPMENT OF CATTLE
Milwaukee Freight Division Agent
Made Trip Over Reservation
tor Cattle Shipments,

]. A.. Macdonald, the division
freight and passenger agent Of the
Milwaukee road. passed through the
city on his way to Mason City from
a trip out on the reservation west Of
Chamberlain. Mr.. Macdonald said
that he went a distance Of 200 miles
west of the Missouri river to get in
touch with the cattlemen who expect
to make shipments during the pres
ent month and September. He said
that the cattle which had been feed
ing on the range all spring ana this
much Of the summer were in very fine
shape. There has been plenty Of
moisture on the range during the
feeding period and the grass at the
present time is in fine condition for
feeding purposes. MI. Macdonald
spoke in particular Of the good con-
dition of the cattle that are ready for
shipment in the way that they were
in good flesh and that not in a good
many years have the cattle benin
as good condition.
Mr.. Macdonald said that shipments
of cattle would be made some earlier
this year than last. and that already
some of the cattlemen were getting
their stock together. These are some
Of the smaller shippers. The larger
dealers will commence to move
their stock in about ten days or two
weeks, and he expects the Milwaukee
road to get its usual share of the
transportation Of the stock to the
Sioux City and Chicago markets. At
present the low prices of cattle in
Chicago he said was not very inviting
to the shippers on the reservation.

$4,000 in THE DEAL
L. H. Martin Disposes Of His Large
Ranch to mayor tleo. w.
Burnside, Of Sioux Falls.

One of the largest, if not the lare-
est, land deals that has ever been ac-
complished in this county was effect
ed yesterday, in which T.. H. Martin
traded his ranch Of 720 acres, four and
a half miles northwest of town, to
Geo. w. Burnside, mayor OF Sioux
Falls, for his hack line and livery
barn. The deal was carr ed on at
this end of the line by M. @. Porter
and A. N. Hill. and it took over
three weeks to accomplish the mat
ter satisfactory to both parties. Once
or twice the deal went through and
was about ended but Porter and
Hill stayed by the transaction until
it was finally effected. The deal rep
resented ar outlay OF $50, 600, and
Mr.. Burnside comes into possession
of as good a ranch as he can possibly
desire. He took the farm with ey-
erythlng on it, including the grow
ing crop of 300 acres. At the pres
ent time his son is out at the farm
harvesting the crop.
MI. Martin has gone to. Sioux Falls
and is now in possession of the liy-
cry stable and hack line. He has
held the farm but a few years and
has realized a very satisfactory profit
from the investment.
The Sioux Falls Press has the fol-
lowing to say concerning the transac-
ton:
The deal which has been under con-
Sideration for some time between
Geo. W. burnside, of this city, and
L. H. Martin. of Mitchell, has at last
been contaminated. By its terms Mr..
Burnside comes into possession Of q
ranch of 722 acres within four and a
half miles. of Mitchell and Mr.. Mar
tin takes the entire property 4of MI.
Burnside in this city, with the ex-
ception of the undertaking business.
The ranch which Burnside acquires
is a complete stock ranch. With ii
goes about $50 headSof cattle, four
teen head Of horses, machinery and
everything belonging to a first class
ranch.
Mr.. Burnside turns over five lots
on Ninth street, his hack, livery,
Oooi uHoiloAOI dAO UOdlOAuS
business, including 60 head Of horses
aud a large number of hacks and. 9TH
er valuable vehicles. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Burnside will retain only
his undertaking business in this city.
Martin and Burnside left yesterday
morning for Mitchell, where final ar
raneg ments in regard to the transfer
of the land were made. They re-
turned last night at 10 o'clock and
Mr.. Martin now has charge of the
business, the proceeds since the first
of August going to him..
The deal was made through the
agency Of r. G. W%hitehouse & Co.
and is one Of the largest business
transfers that has been made in the
city during the year.
AS Mr.. Burnside was out of town
yesterday he could not be seen in re-
gard to his future plans, but he will
remain in Sioux Falls and will de-
vote his time to his undertaking
business and to the Citizens Tele-
phone company, in which he is a
large stakeholder.
Mr.. Burnside started in as a hack
driver and has accumulated a large
business by thrift and good manage
ment. For many years has given
Sioux Falls a first class hack and
transfer line and his successor will
need to be up to date if he equals the
record.
