The capital stock represented by the
new companies amounts to S623,0oo'
the largest being that of the Trave-
lrlers Fire Insurance company with
$3.50 900. The list does not include
several prospective companies like
those of the Maiden Heading factory,
the Pine Bluff Broom factory and the
Hydraulic Stone company which
are proposed establishments for the
future. The Pine Bluff board OF

band is not

1t is d SouSa band, pure an simple.
and that is the only name one can
give, because, as far as | am aware,
there is no other body OF performers
in eKistance that resembles it IN the
least. Its composition is original,
its playing is original, and its con-
ductor is, perhaps, the most original
OF all. We knew his music. Of
course, before we knew the composer,
but that was perhaps a mistake. for
the two ought to be known together.
To hear Mr.. Sousa play his mu-
sic is to be converted. His orchestra
is prominently American in Its re-
markable fire and swing. 1t seems
to be positively bubbling owe with
restless energy. Regarded from the
musicians point Of view, it is re-
markable for the fine tone, the per-
feet balance OF the parts and the al
most machine precision with which
it plays"
This is assuredly high praise, but
everyone who has eve come within
the magic sway Of Sonsa's baton, will
agree that it is equally as deserved.

ToBEY BOY INJURED
Hack Run Into by a Freight Cal.
and the Boy Got His Arm
Smashed.

An unfortunate accident happened
TO Elithus Iobey. son Of Mr.. anG
Mrs. W. B. Tohey, OF Ethan. Fridaj
night at 1923 o'clock, Just before
The south passenger over tie Milwau-
kee road arrived from Iankton.
Young Tobey was riding on the driv-
er's seat Of a hack belonging to West
< Sanford. in charge Of Don Doty,
and they were driving ut ii pretty
rapid pace to reach the depot for the
arrival of the train. The switching
crew was at that moment putting
some cars west CT the depot and the
engine was slowly pushing d large re-
f%rigeIator a to the west just as the
team crossed the track. The horses
escaped but the front OF the carriage
was struck by the car, and pushed it
slowly to the west The horses made
no attempt to run but Went sideways
with the back. Mr.. Doty jumped to
the west and escaped INJURY. with
the exception OF a slight sprain of
the ankle. Young Tobey was thrown
from the drivers seat and his right
hand fell across the rail and was bad
ly lacerated by the slowly moving
wheels. The train was stopped i'm
mediately and the boy was picked up
and placed in a hex and taken to the
Waverly hotel.
There was a large crowd at the
depot and the accident caused a
great deal OF excitement among the
people. The boys did not notice the
approach Of the car and there was
no warning given that they could
hear. About the only damage done
to the hack was the breaking of the
front running gear
Drs. King. Freybelg and Bobb
found it necessary to remove the
hand OF Mr.. Tobey and the operation
was performed a little after mid
night. 1t was removed about four
inches below the elbow. The patient
is getting along very nicely today.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tobey were informed
OF the accident to their boy and they
drove up from Ethan Immediately,
reaching here about 3 O'Clock.

THIRD NPHAL TRIP
Mitchell and Her Corn Palace Will
he Included on the European
Trip OF Sousa,s Band.

After a third triumphal European
trip that lead him to all the great
musical centerS Of the old world,
Sousa is once more engaged upon one
OF his remarkable concret tours, so
impressive in the record OF mileage
and number OF concerts. The sue
cess OF SOusa and his band, as we'll
as the personal success Of John Phil
lip Sousa, both as conductor and
composer, has had no parallel among
American musicians. His positive
genius in the creation and direction
OF the wonderful vino orchestra,
which he maintains. his graceful vet
dominating personality at the con
ductors desk, as we'll as the forceful,
stirring and inspiring rhythms of his
music, have all united i'm insurinp
his permanent success.
Witness what an English critic had
to say OF the March King and his
men: "The latest importation from
America has proved an inordinate
success. Anything more thoroughly
and typical American, it would be
difficult to imagine. Mr. Sousa's
band is not a military band at all.

The good results of the affairs Of a

its relations With other uutious. There

the world-a community OF nations.
Tho one a"lloUgtlo>e nations which OK
hibits the greatest honesty and tact

will be TO the tcre.
Under the administration OF the par
ty that is how controlling the affairs
of the United States has occurred such
extraordinary diplomatic success as
has perhaps eve been ~eNcelled by
any nation Ut amy time. This success
has accrued because of the tact and
sense of the present president Of the
United States. assisted by his secrctary
OF state. The record has been some
thing extraordinary. and all the civil
lied world has recognized 1t.
Tact aud sense are just as much q

Up to See Mitchell.

Nermillion Republican We took
d trip to Mitchell the first Of the
week and through the courtesy Of
the capital committee were shown
over the town. To say we were sur
prised at its size and beauty would
be a tame expression. While we
have teen going through that city
for the past twenty years we have
never had an opportunity OF seeing
more than the BUSINESS section.
Mitchell is large enough and with
its beautiful shaded streets and fine
residences aspire to the dignity OF
the capital city Or any other honor
she may stlIve for. and we would be
very foolish to vote other wise than
for her for capital being within 20
miles Of us. 1t will not only increase
the value OF our real estate, but be
the cause OF our drawing other en-
terplises to this section OF the state
in years to come not among the least
to be mentioned is railroads, which
we need SO much. Vote for Mitchell
for capital and your own interest.
