which they played by royal command
before King Edward at Balmoral
Castle and Sandringham, and their
engagement will without doubt be the
musical event of the season in South
Dakota. The band will give two
specially arranged concert programs
daily in the magnificent new Corn
Palace which has seating capacity
of 5000.
The new Corn Palace itself will, of
course, be the most attractive feature
of the exposition. The Place this
year is larger and more elaborate than
ever before, and the decorations in
corn, grains grasses, and fruits prom.
ise to surpass in harmonious effect
and originality Of design, anything
ever before attempted in this line.
Over twenty of the most progressive
counties of the state have, at this
early date, secured space for the
placing of beautiful exhibits of their
varied agricultural products and re-
sourses. The bountious crops through
out the state, which are now ready
for the harvest, make possible the
greatest and grandest agricultural ex-
position ever held in the Northwest,
and the energy and enterprise of the
people of Mitchell will transform this
possibility into an accomplished fact.
Many other attractions besides the
celebrated "Kilties" band have en-
gagged for the entertainment of the
large crowds which will visit Mitchell
during Corn Palace week.
Bert Morphy, "the man who sings
to beat the band" viii give two free
concerts daily. Mr.. Morphy signs
with full band accompaniment, and
never fails to charm his auditors.
The 'Mad Caps" and La Telle
Bros, in high class vaudeville, will
entertain the people daily in the
Corn Palace.
Twelve bands will furnish music ON
the streets continuously and numer-
Gus free street attractions have been
engaged for the entire week, after
noon and evening. The balloon will
go up; the loop will be looped; the
chutes will be shot; the bumps will be

ing that their votes were counted as
cast This is something which the
former dark lantern caucus OF Illinois
fell far short of insuring.
The experience of Illinois is like
that of other states. The primary,
willie not a perfect bar to manipula-
ton, is so far in advance of the eau
Gus methods that no set of voters hav-
ing tasted the sweets of partial en-
reimbursement from the enthrallment
of bosses would willingly go back to
the old state of affairs.
The occasional success of a boss of
pleasing manners and startling agility
on the political slack wire is not an
argument against the system because
bosses, whether of pleasing or dis
pleasing manners, were constantly sue
ceeding under the old system. Out of
the primary Minneapolis got at the out
set most unfortunate nomination for
the mayoralty. But it is observable
that there has been constant improve
ment in the character of the men who
have asked for this or other offices in
the city since. Great stress is laid
upon the bitterness of the fueds Great
ed by the primary, but, on the other
hand, it should be remembered that a
state convention cost the republican
party the goyernorship of Minnesota
two years ago. That convention was
the politicians ideal. 1t was preceded
by enough political chicanery to ex-
hibit in relief all the smart tricks of
the trade. 1t ought to have been a
wonderful success, and it was, in a
way. But it was not recommends
ton of the caucus system. Minnea-

On Saturday the executive boards
of the Union Pacific and the Southern
Pacific railroads declared divi-
dends on both pre- ferredand common
stocks. This is the first dividend
ever declared on the common stock
of the Southern Pacific, and it is still
below par. There is suspicion
afoat that the declaring of dividends
is for the purpose of helping to
establish claim for higher rates be
fore the interstate commerce com
mission, or to help maintain present
rates on the grounds that to reduce
rates would be to cut down dividends
and thus destroy part of the value
of the stock, which is private property

SOME fool or knave started chain
of 'endless prayer" in the name of
Rt. Rev. VIM. Lawrence, bishop of
the Episcopal church. AS a penalty
for failure to make the prayer and to
write nine letters extending the
scheme, dire calamity was predicted
for the person guilty of failure. The
scheme worked except the dire Gala
nifty. The bishop has received let
tiers of inquiry from nearly every state
in the Union, and from many foreign
countries. Some of the more super
stitious have been nearly crazed by
fear Of the predited calamity and the
bishop has found it necessary to make
denial of the matter through the As
sociated Press.

ILLINOIS LIKES THE PRIMARY.

The party primary is endorsed by
the Chicago News, which declares
that through it party voters are now
enabled to give expression to their
views. Notwithstanding the nomina-
ton of Lorimer, a great victory was OBJ
tanned over the Lorimer faction. Near
ly all the cogs in this, machine were
smashed. The primary, which brought
out a great vote, was perfectly hand
led, and the men who went e the
polls had the satisfaction of K w

WILL CONDEMN IMPURE CREAM.

The Minnesota food and dairy de-
partment has issued the following
notice:
',All cream hereafter condemned
as "impure and unwholesome" by our
inspectors will be seized and put IN
cold storage. Notice will then be
served on consignors and consignees,
and the cream destroyed, after it is no
longer needed as evidencein prosecut
ing violators. In the case of shipment
into this state from outside points,
the cream will be destroyed and cans
returned to shippers. Shippers from
points within the the state will be
prosecuted in addition to losing the
cream. The same rule will apply to
creameries where delivery is made
otherwise than by railway shipments.
Wherever practicable impure and
unwholesome cream will be condemned
and seized while in the possession OF
the express and railroad companies"
This will probably work against
those who aEe shipping cream from
this part of South Dakota. Where
two or three days are taken in gather
ing can Of cream, and about two
days more in transit from the dairy
mans home to the central plant, it
is hard to understand how any Of it
can pass inspection at this time of
the year. A few cans Of Condemned
cream and the slight but constant
lowering of the price will have the
effect of making shippers of cream
partons OF their home institution,
which, they should have been all the
time.

The Minnesota railroad commits
sion is making an investigation of
rates in that state. AS a result some
of the roads have voluntarily reduced
the grain rates in that state 10 per
cent, except on shipments within so
miles of Minneapolis. Three roads
have announced such reduction. The
other roads will certainly have to
meet this competition. At present
this cut applies only to Minnesota
on Minnesota shipments. However,
it would seem that the reduction must
soon be extended to other states in
order to escape action by the inter.
state commerce commission.

Nor long since this writer predict
ed that not many years would roll
around before the G. & n. w. R'y
would build through to the coast.
We gave as our reason the fact that
the G. M. & st. z. road was going to
build, and as that road was
closely related to the Union Pacific,
with which road the c. IL n w. had
traffic arrangement, the completion
of the G. M. q st. p. would probably
end the pleasant business relations
with the G. a. N. w. The northwest.
