CORN PALACE OF 1904
The Executive Committee to Have
Charge of the Big Fall Event
Has Been Selected.

Saturday evening at the meeting
of the Commercial Committee of the
Mitchell Club the gentlemen who
Will have charge of the orr palace
for 1904 were appointed. The CON-
mittee is a little different from the
past two years owing to the resigna-
tion Of two members in the persons
of W. e. Turner the, treasurer and
"a. e. Hitchcock, the secretary.
Both gentlemen found it impossible
this year to devote the time to it
that would be necessary to make the
corn palace a success, and with the
appointment of two others to take
their places the committee will be
the same as last year. President
Preston, of the Commercial Comit-
tee, handed us the following appoint
ments:
President-L. O. Gale.
Treasurer-Wm. M. Smith.
Secretary-D. w. Burright.
Inside Decorations-Dr. II. f.
Dundas.
Outside Decofations-S. Fl. Seal
lin.
Advertising-Robert Burns.
County EXhibits-J. X. Smith.
Mr.. Gale, who had entered his res
@ignation as president, was finally
prevailed upon to remain at the head
Of the committee, where he has been
since the corr palace was started in
1892, and it is a matter of congratu-
lation that he decided to reconsider
his resignation and remain as presi-
dent. j. X. Sm 18th also resigned his
work of looking after the agricultural
exhibits but he will remain and help
out the work.
The dates selected for the Corn
Palace are Sept. 26 to Oct. /, in
elusive. commencing Monday and
closing Saturday evening. 1T has
been decided by the comm ittee not
to keep open on Sunday this year.
Within a very short time a solicit
ing committee will be selected to
make the hounds of the business
men for funds to start the Dall TO
rolling for the biggest, ~grandest
and best corn palace that Mitchell
has ever presented to the northwest.
Coming as it does i'm the fall it will
give thousands of people of the state
an opportunity to visit Mitchell ard
make an inspection of the future
capita! city, and see what Mitchell
is Offering i'm the way of a commodi.
Gus building for the state capitol.
The committee will take up the
work OF getting things in readiness
for the palace as early as possible
and have everything moving along
toward the gigantic success IN the
fall. Every person in Mitchell is
and should he interested in the sue
cess a. ne corn palace this year
above Years. as it is going to be
