Bones Of an Extinct POUchcd Uan.

Travelling in the hinterIaud Of Australia. even
to-day. is not like crossing the North American
Continent in a Pullman. 1t is rather more like
a dash to the Pole. and. like those dIsheS. there
appears to be little to see after one reaches ones
destination The contrast i'm temperature ap-
pears to be the chief difference. In the north
the water is all ice to use a TIibernianism; in
the interior Of Australia there is no water at
all or, If there be any it is apt to be salt. for
parts of the interior are beneath the level Of
the sea.
When one is planning to travel into the in

pleasure. one selects mounts g. the arctic eN-
plorer chooses his ship. CameIs or horses are
the ships. The supplies Of timed beef and
other compressed and carefully protected foods
are purchased. Most essential of all are the
kegs for carrying water. More than once has
it happened that an expedition into that barren
and mysterious interior has become race for
water. These are packed on the backs of the
animals, and away goes the caravan across the

A Remarkable Record.

Chamberlaln's Cough Remedy has a
remarkable record. 1t has been in
Use for w thirty years, during
which time many million bottles have
been sold and used. 1t has lor.g been
the standard and main reliance in
the treatment Of Group in thousands
of homes, yet during all this time no
case has ever been reported to the
manufacturers in which it failed to
effect a cure. When given as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even as
as the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. 1t is pleas
ant to take, many children like it.
1t contains no opium or other harm
full substance and may be given as
confidently to a baby as to an adult.
For sale by all druggists.

TALL CORN FROM LINCOLN
Corn OF Immense Length Grown in
Lincoln Brought Here for EX-
hibltion in Corn Palace.

Frank VanWagenen got a sample Of
corn grown in Lincoln county Wedes-
day that beats anything we have ever
seen in this country. 1t stands IS
feet and one inch in height from the
roots to the top. The first ear of
corn on the stalk stands fully 10 feet
from the ground. There was quite a
crowd viewing the bundle as it was
brought up town, and many express
sjons Of wonderment we're heard
when they viewed that sample of
Lincoln county's greatness in the
cornfield. This corn was grown on
the farm Of James Harris, who re-
sides near Fairview, and he has plen.
ty more like it. MI. VanWaeenen
said he would place it on exhibition
in the corn palace when it was open.
1t is a matter Of speculation Of how
a farmer would gather his corn from
such stalks as high as that, and it
would be necessary to take along a
ladder to reach the tOpmost ears.
When things get a favorable year in
South Dakota there is nothing to
head them off in their development.
Lincoln county people can be exceed
ngly proud Of their corn crop this
year.

ABERDEEN'S BIG CARNIVAL
Will Have Plenty to Amuse Their
Guests During the Week Of
September %.

The citizens of Aberdeen are
nightly interested in their big car
nival and harvest festival which will
be held from September % to October
8, inclusive. The management is in
the hands of S. W. Huntington and
r. H. Angel. both we'll known men,
and they have nearly all the business
interests behind them. The carnival
consists of free street shows and band
concerts in the forenoon; Patterson
s. Brainerd's Carnival company on
the Midway in the afternoon and
evening, where there will also be
numerous free exhibitions and band
concerts. a liberal premium list has
been sent out and an extensive agri-
cultural display will no doubt be
made.
The free exhibitions will consist of
acTobatic and gymnastic platform
acts on the street, ald Lionel Legare
afternoons and evenings on the spir-
al tower. The $40. 900 electric foun-
tain and spectacular fire dancer is
the concluding feature of the per-
Torrance each evening, also free to
all.
Excursion trains will be run from
Mitchell. Linton, Evarts. Edgeley,
and probably from Gettysburg and
Huron.

AROUND THE CORN PALACE

With the way that the decorations
are being pushed on the exterior Of
the building there does not seem to
be the least doubt but what the work
will be completed before the opening
day. Decorator Robe is unfolding
some very handsome designs as the
work progresses, and the indications
are that be will surpass his former
efforts.
The corn that is being delivered at
the palace these days is the best that
has ever been brought in for this
purpose. The ears are long and large
in circumference. There is plenty
or red and yellow corr to make the
figures all the more attractive and
pronounced.
The ladies are hard at work in the
gallery and there are NAM willing
hands to help out in the enterprise.
Much Of the work is being done at
home and it will be a week or more
before the decorations are put in
place.
The metropolitan papers of the
northwest have been very kind in ad-
vertising the corn palace. The Min
neapolis Journal, St. Paul Dispatch.
st. Paul Pioneer Press and the Min
neapolis Times have each published
three column cuts of the palace be-
sides a quantity of descriptive mat
ter. This all helps very much in
placing the attraction before the peo-
pie Of the northwest.
This week over 90. 200 supplements
will be issued by the weekly papers
Of the state, which were sent out by
Robert Burns. manager of the adver-
Using department. The supplement
is Two pages, one page of which is
devoted to advertising the corn pal
ace and the other is a very compile
hensive writeup Of the general re-
sources Of the state without regard
to locality. 1t is a tirstclaSs adver-
tisement for the state and is good for
the corn palace.
