ABOUT THE CORN PALACE

Manager Gale, who has charge of
the attractions, closed a contract
Friday with Hayes and Haley, of
Chicago, comedy artists, for their
appearance at the corn palace.
They are regarded as a pair of the
best comedy artists appearing on
the vaudeville stage in the east.
Monday they open an engagement
at the roof garden Of the Masonic
Temple for a week, and have the big
gest comedy novelty Of the season.
Hayes and Haley will appear each
afternoon and evening in the corn
palace building in conjunction with
the Banda Rosa.
Brule county people are taking
steps tc have their agricultural inter
ests represented at the corn palace in
the county exhibits. j. X. Smith
has charge of this department and
space can be secured through him.
The corr palace offers the counties
Of the state the best opportunity Of
the year to display their products.
There will be some good street at
fractions during the corr palace, and
Nh. Gale expects to have a better
street perform ance this year than
last. Last year the free street per-
Torrance were a taking feature. for
they gave the people something to
look at and engage their time after
the corn palace was over for the after
noon.
A.. Robe will again decorate the
corn palace this year. He has done
this work ever since the enterprise
was started in 1892. The grains and
other decorative material is in much
better shape for the work this year.

WAY WHEAT Is YIELDING
1t Is Holding Up to a Good Average
and the Crop is Highly Sat
%isfactOry All Over.

The thresherS are at work through
out the county in showing what the
harvest will be. Oats are keeping up
the standard of yield and the wheat
does not e to be losing any
ground. Elijah 1%illots0n, of this
city, is out with his threshing crew
in the western part of the county,
where he worked all last week, and
the yield was highly satisfactory to
the. people most directly interested
in the result. Mr.. Tillotson said
his oats in Blendon township
aged so bushels per acre. He had
not threshed his wheat as yet. L.
Goodrich, of Mt. Vernon township,
had SO bushels of oats to the acre,
and his wheat averaged Is bushels.
Chas. Lawrence, of the same town
ship, also had so bushels of oats per
acre and his speltz went 81. Mr..
'Schneider's oats averaged As bushels
per acre and his wheat went Is. MI.
Chantry. near Mt. Vernon. threshed
out 81 bushels Of oats per acre and
his wheat went IS.
The Republican will try and ar
range with the threshing crews who
are operating in the county to give
weekly reports of the threshing
they do and at the close of the season
a pretty accurate average can be
made Of what the county's yield
will be, that is if the weather keeps
favorable through the rest of the sea-
son so that the thIeshing can be car
ried on without much Interruption.

Coral That Shocks.

called '~'millepoca." This has a most
extraordinary property which Mi E,,s
the people who know it very shy %
handling it. The moment you pick NV
a piece a sort of electric thrill runs
through you and an agonizing pain
shoots through your jaws. You feel as
If every tooth and every nerve and
muscle connected with them was
burning. The acute pain lasts en-
orally for about half an hour and slow
ly passes off; but the effects do not dis
appear entirely for hours. The reason
Of this curious shock or poisoning is q

The Centerview GIo.D Record tells of
a young man who had been writing a
girl in Minneapolis for three years, in
tending some day to ask her to marry
him. The other Gay he received a let

announced that she had been married
two years, and the picture was of her
baby. My husband and l have en-.

A Queer Floating Island.

There is a floating island in Derwent.
Tater, England. not far from Lodore

lake and the surface. When moved to
retirement it sinks and remains in wa.
terry seclusion for periods which vary
from a few months to as long as seven
or eight years. It's existence above or

to work until half past 7 in the even

1T is refreshing to hear occasionally Of

any absurd object to satisfy the mater
nal instinct; eve a bottle wrapped in

like savages. when they worship they
are content with the rudest imitation

rag doll, boundless affection is be-

AS time G on this rudirentary eff

ter satisfy newly developed tastes and
feelings. a girl of six is not content
unless her doll baby bcNrs some resem-
Dlance to her mothers baby. Aided by
this mirage of reality a. Imagination
leaps all bounds. But it is checked by
too studied an imitation of life. The
splendid, richly dressed creature of
wax is never really loved. It's tame

Upon the affections, not created by

Arsenic and Gold.
By a singular change Of circum-
stances the gold miners Of Hastings
county, Ont. who for years were
baff1ed in trying to extract the
precious metal from its matriX by the
presence of arsenic in the ore, have
lately found the arsenic to be more
profitable than the god. This is due at
once to the great purity Of the Cana
dian arsenic and to the rapid exhaus.
ton of the arsenic deposits of England
and Germany. AT the same time the
introduction of a successful method of
separating the gold increase the profit

No Brieuetting Plant Vet.

]. F. Brodie, manager of the Con-
solidated Mines west of the river says
that his company will not put in a
briquetting plan: until some cheaper
process of briquetting the Ignite has
been discovered. Out in Wyoming
there is a substance found. which,
when mixed with Ignite, makes a
splendid binder, but the cost Of manu-
featuring it and shipping it here and
the additional cost of briquetting the
coal would make it too expensive, for
the coal fields both east and west
could supply fuel cheaper than the
briuuettes would be. Mr.. Brodie says
that his company shipped ten tons OF
coal to Germany and that first class
article had been manufactured from
it, though the coal holds insufficient
tar to furnish it's own binder. The
North Dakota Ignite holds something
like forty per cent Of moisture In the
raw state, but when subjected to
high gravity pressure. the quality Of
the coal becomes much better than the
bituminous of Ohio.

SUGGESTS AN INDIAN COLLEGE.
~enator McCumber introduces Bill
For the Establishment Of an Indian

~enator McCumber introduces Bill
For the Establishment Of an Indian
College at Wahpeton.
On Tuesday of last week Senator
McCumber introduced bill In the
senate for the establishment Of an
Indian agricultural college or school
at Wahpeton, North Dakota. The bill
carries with it an appropriation OF
100000 which is to be used as a
starter for the school, and the pur-
chasing Of a suitable site. This is
practically the same bill that was in
troduced at the last session. but failed
to pass on account of the time OF the
senate being taken up with the state
mood and Panama bills. Senator Nc
Cumber has had the assurance from
the leaders of both houses that the
bill would pass this year and is Of the
opinion that the money will become
available the first of July next The
object of the school as stated by Mr..
McCumber is to furnish school where
the boys of the various Indian tribes
in North and South Dakota, Montana,
Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa,
Minnesota and Wisconsin, may be
sent to receive an education and in
structed in the art of farming. In a
recent interview the senator stated
that experience has proven that the
Indian is not adapted by nature to
business or mechanical pursuits. By
nature he prefers an outdoor life a
it has been shown that if properly in
structed they will make good farmers.
Thousands of Indian boys have been
sent to eastern schools and taught
languages, bookkeeping and kindreu
subjects with an idea that they would
enter the business pursuits Of life.
The boys showed an aptitude for study
and we're comparatively easy to be
taught, but almost invariably upon re-
turning to their homes they have re-
turned to their former condition of
indolence. Those who entered busi-
ness or professional lines were dis
satisfied and soon returned to their
tribes, and having no work to their
taste, soon returned to the semi savage
state of their fathers, depending upon
The government for support. On the
other hand the few boys that have
been instructed at some agricultural
colleges have gone back to their reser-
vations and taken up lands and are
now among the most prosperous farm
ers of the country 1t is believed by
students of the Indian nature and
habits that his energies are direct
ed in the right direction and the tribal
relations broken. that he will make a
good and Industrious citizen, and that
his proper field for the present is in
agricultural pursuits.
