III. G. Preston returned Wednesday

conjunction with L. Nj, Simons.
advertising manager for the corr
palace. a conference was held with
the passenger department OF the
Chicago. Milwaukee & ST. Paul rail
road with reference to the special
train service during corr palace
week. Mr. Preston said that they
were given three hours Of the val
liable time OF the department to lay
before them what had been accom-
pllshed in the way of patronage of
the special train service in former
years, aud the officials Immediately
sent for the statements of the roads
business that was done during corn
palace week in former years, and
they found to their satisfaction that
there was no overestimating matters
by Mitchell's representatives.
Mr.. Preston said that they went
lover the details of what they would
like to have during corn palace in
the way Of special trains, hut OF
course nothing definite could be
agreed upon at that time. The
officers Informed Mr.. Preston that
they now fully realized tie impor-
lance and scope of the Mitchell corn
palace; they knew that it was no
cheap show, but that it was con-
Quoted on a high plane, was a digni-
fed affair, and one that was
continued from veal to year. As an
indication of what the Milwaukee
may do, n OF the officials. after
ascertaining what the condition of
the a service would be during the
last week in..September, ordered that
department to hold forty passenger
coaches for the last week in Sep
TENDER for the corn palace service.
The indications point to the very
strong possibility that a special
train will be run each day from
Sioux City, and Sanborn Iowa, with
additional service Off the branch
lines, and also for holding the north
and west passenger trains to Aber-
deem and Chamberlain one hour each
day of.corn palace week. This will
insure passengers in those direction
of being able to attend the after
noon concerts and'get home in the
evening.
The passenger department. will
90 over the matter thoroughly and
give Mitchell the very best service.
MIR. Simons went on to New York,
and on his return the middle Of next
week, the officials will be able to
inform. him definitely of what they
propose to do i'm the way Of special
trains.
While in Chicago, Messrs. Simons
and Preston went out to White City,
and heard ''The Kilties.' the band
which is to play in the corn palace
during the entire week. They gave
Manager Griffith, OF the band, some
very important details OF what the
corn palace is, and lie was surprised
at the magnitude OF the affair. He
became every enthusiastic over the
engagement and as the facts were
unfOlded to the members OF the band
they gathered around and becaI0e
very much interested in the future
engagement. The corn palace idea
was a new n to Manager Grimth
and Director Cook, and they evinced
much surprise when informed of the
band engagements in this city at
the corn palace. Manager Griffith
informed the Mitchell representa-
tives that THE Kilties'' would
create a greater fuIore among the
people THAN any band which has
played in Mitchell. and he declared
that when the band got here it
would surpass any OF it's previous
work in trying to please the people.
Director Cook said that they had
played many different kind Of en-
gagements but the corn palace was a
new thing to them and they we're
very anxious to 90 through with the
experience
