Was Popular in Chicago.

The Chicago Tribune Of June II
has the following concerning the
Banda Rosa, which will play a ten
days engagement in Mitchell during
the corn palace:
Seats were a scarce commodity at
the Masonic Temple last evening"
The Banda Rosa in all the glory or
its brilliant red uniforms and the
splendid quality OF its instruments,
was the star attraction on the bill,
and the audience that crowded the
theater and its roof promenade to
their capacity received the popular
organization with the heartiness of
welcome extended to old time friends,
and rewarded it's playing with APP
plause as enthusiastic as it was
abundant. Sorrentino is still the
Header, smiling and generous, and his
men still follow bis every beat with
the same precision, sympathy and
unanimity that has ever made their
work admirable.
The playing Of the band is especial
ly agreeable and enjoyable because of
the mellOWnesS and richness of the
tonal quality produced at all times.
The use of trumpets instead Of cor
nets and of keyed instead OF slide
trombones lends the brasses a smooth
ness and freedom from all b~latancy
that is delightful. and the clarinets
seem also OF peculiarly soft. sweet
quality. The heaviest fortissimo last
evening was not ear-offending, and
the lesser degrees of tonal volume had
always a charm that was separate and
apart from the manner in which the
playing was done-the charm that
lies in beauty Of tone itself. The
numbers heard yesterday were a stir
ring march by ~Sorrentino, the over
the Intermezzo from the Cavalier
la" the melody in which was played
in rarely beautiful fashion as a trum-
pet solo by Sig. Bottega, and a pat
riotic potpourri.

THE MAYOR A BUSY MAN
Has Enough to Do in Various Capac
tiles to Satisfy Himself for
Hard Work.

Mayor Silsby was over at Sioux Falls
the other day. and the Argus-Leader
man cornered Mitchell's executive for
a short talk about Mitchell. The
mayor said:
l have come to the conclusion that
| am a busy a Much as I dislike
to admit it the older l grow the
harder | work. While the number
of National banks in the state has
more than doubled in the past four
years, thus doubling the amount of
my work in that line, it was sug-
gested to me by a member of the
council at our last meeting that dur
ing the past fifteen months there
have been on an average five meetings
of that body a month. and during
that time [ have missed only two
meetings. In addition to that / have
made it a point to get around home
to welcome something like a dozen
state and district bodies which have
made Mitchell a central meeting

PROVOKED TO SWEAR WORDS
Pierre Mildly Profane Now, What
ill She be Later on in the
Campaign?

Our good brothers of the Pierre
Weekly Free Press are making a
mighty effort to retain the capital at
the Missouri river town. Here is a
sample of their labored efforts
IT'S strange, tbs passing strange,
us d strange that Mitchell is so
quiet about building that railroad
across the reservation.
Is it possible that Pierre's emissar-
es in this city have not kept the lin
gering capital city informed as to the
progress of Mitchell's campaign? Our
Pierre friends will learn in time that
Mitchell does not get on the house,
top and shout to all the people OF
the state just what she has done,
what she is doing nor what she is
going to do. After the plans are ac-
complished, why our Pierre friends
will learn in time. In the meantime
if Mitchell appears slightly disconr~
teous in not telling Pierreites what is
going on about railroads or any other
capital plans we hope they will bear
with us for a short time longer.
While Pierre people are hunting
around for something we will pub
lish the following special from Oaoo-
ma, which appeared a few days ago
in the Sioux City journal. and it
may interest them for awhile in rail-
road matters:
The new ferry boat was launched
at chamberlain today. 1t is 12O feet
IN length, being much too large for
ferry business. 1t is generally under
stood that the monster boat is to he
used as a transfer boat for the Chi
cagO, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad
company.
Hundreds of cords Of stone are
upon the ground and work will be-
gin at once In building a dyke 300
feet in length out into the Missouri
river from the Chamberlain side.
This will narrow the channel Of the
river to a degree that will insure a
deep, open channel at all stages OF
safely cross at all times. The boat
will carry six loaded freight cars at a
time.
a number of Milwaukee officials
were present at the launching Of the
boat. 1t is the@ general belief here
that the road will be extended to the
hills Immediately upon the ratifica-
CloH VI Uue GIedCy opening the Rose
bud Indian reservation.
The Northwestern is now at Bone
steel, in Gregory county, and will
push through to the north as soon as
the reservation is opened. The Mil
waukee will be ready to compete with
this new condition by pushing
through to the hills and thus occupy
ing this rich field in advance of her
rival. Some lively railroad develop
ments may be expected in the next
six months.

A Fine List Of Attractions Has Been
Secured for the Coming Sea-
sons Entertainments.

The boolio g Of attractions for a
lecture and concert course such as is
given in Mitchell is no small matter.
Ever since last March the local COM
mittee has been in correspondence
relative to next seasons course, but
not until last week were final arrange
ments completed for what the COM
mittee believe will prove to be the
strongest list Of attractions ever
offered.
The course will be opened Oct. 20
by the Wesleyan Male Quartet, re-
puted to be one of the strongest male.
quartets in the country, and the.
heirs to the high standing OF the dis
banded Ottumwas.
Roney's Boys Concert Co. will
probably prove to be the popular at
traction of the year. The bureau
assert that they have never heard an
adverse criticism on this company
and that in the great majority of
places it is pronounced the BEST.
Mr.. Roney the director, makes a
speciality Of boys voices. He gained
great recognition by his training of
Blanchford Kavenaugh, the boy So
prano. who received 81, 600 a night
the season before his voice changed.
There are five boys in the company,
ranging from eight to fourteen. One
of the boys is a phenomenal violin
and flute player, another is a pocket
edition of the famous Hermann as a
magician. They Asing solos, duets
and quartets and next season will in
troduce the organ chimes in their
work. The committee is trying to
arrange for a chlldren's matinee from
this company in addition to the
evening entertainment.
Two Of the greatest lecturers OF
the day have announced that the
coming season is their last on the lee
ture platform. both retiring to devote
themselves entirely to literary work
Hon. Geo. r. Vending and Thos.
Dixon, jr. It is difficult to compare
these two men,, as they stand at the
head in their special line of lecture
work. Mr.. Weddings great lecture
on Saul OF Tarsus'' has no peer,
while Thos. Dixon's Backbone has
been declared the "biggest thing on
the platform" These two men are
giants and the committee has been
persistentin its efforts to secure them
and is jubilant over the fact that
it has them both booked for the CON-
ing season.
These four numbers of themselves
would make a strong course but there
are still four others yet to he an
nounced. Surely Mitchell can look
forward to an excellent lecture and
concert course for the coming season.

MAKE FUNERAL PYRE
Strange Women Burn Human
Body at Midnight.

BRAZIL. Ind, Oct. 2.-Late last
night a closed carriage was hastily
driven to the woods belonging to Fred
erick Krump, south of here. On ar
irving at a dense clump of bushes four
men and three women got out of the
vehicle, and, carrying a heavy bundle
wrapped in white cloth, hurried into
the woods. The men were closely fol-
lowed by the three women, who carried
cans evidently filled with coal oil. When
a dry cluster of brush was reached a
pile of sticks was quickly heaped to-
gether. thoroughly saturated with oil,
and the men placed the object they
were carrying on it and set it on fire.
The flames lighted the woods for
some distance, and three men watched
the movements of the party while the
object, which is supposed to have been
a human body, was being consumed.
The women seemed to be weeping, and
it was some time after the fire died
out before the three onlookers dared to
go to the place. where they found an
accumulation of charred bones.
Prof. A. G. F'ishback, who examined
them, says they are human bones, and
look as though they had been sawed
or broken. The purpose of this was
evidently so that the bones could be
burned to ashes. The people departed
in the carriage as mysteriously as they
came. The authorities are investigat-
ing.

STILL CONSOLIDATING.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad COM
pany is the latest of the great cor
porations to determine upon a financial
plan involving the raising Of a very
large sum in cash and the refunding of
its obligations. The plan contemplates
a general consolidated mortgage, secur-
ing bonds to the amount of $50, 0OO.-
O0o 1t has been approved by the d.
rectors, and the mortgage is authorized.
The idea, of course, is to make the
combination serve economy as well as
to secure cash for necessary extensive
improvements
This policy is in line with that re-
Gently adopted by the Rock Island, fol-
lowing the example of the Pennsylva-
MIA and other great corporations of
the country. The difficulty about it
will be the vast difference in circum-
stances of the market at this time and
at the period when previous consolida-
money could be obtained in practically
unlimited quantities for such enter
prises. Now, while there Is cash
enough in the country, it has become
over-cautious. No great enterprise can
be underwritten today with the slight
est hope of success. 1t is possible that
the sum required by the Lehigh COM
pany may be obtained on a first mort
gage bond, but even with that secured.
