ALL OVER SATURDAY NIGHT
The Corn Palace Closed With a Sue
cessful Demonstration OF tbs
Weeks Glories.

When the corn palace came to a
close saturday evening it ended a
glorious week Of amusement and
crop demonstration which will long
stand out as n OF the big banner
years 10 the history Of palace weeks.
The audience Saturday evening
was as large as could have been
desired and it was noticeable, aside
from the Mitchell people being
present, that there were hundreds of
stran 'ers in the audience who
wanted to be in at the finish, and
they we're rewarded for their staying.
The building was fully three-fo urths
full for the last concert, and this
speaks we'll for the attractions that
held the boards during the evening.
The Kilties played an exceptionally
fine program, opening with a spirited
march and following it with
T%annhauser overture, which was
given a..rendition of the highest
type, the clarinet section presenting
marvellous execution in several
passages Of this grand number.
Sergeant Leggett PLAYED "The Lost
Chord" With fine effect and the
prelude TO act Ill Of "Lohengrin,"
which vas listened TO with much
pleasure. The other selections by
the land received fine treatment.
Director Cook gave several encores
OF the popular variety.
William Fraser was just as popular
as ever in his bagpipe playing, his
sword dancing and his sailors horn
pipe, aud he IA encored just as
heartily as anytime during the week.
The Mad Caps, the La1ell Bros.
ana the Aldeans 10 their vaudeville
work gave just as finished perform
ances as at any time during the week
and they we're all greeted with the
same enthusiasm, for their acts were
of the character to please and enter
tain. These three acts. given each
afternoon and evening, have
added much to the strength of
the program and the audiences
throughout the week appreciated
the efforts made to please in breaking
the mopotony of the band music.
When the Kilties played their last
program number the band arose,
faced the audience and played
"America,'' following it Immediate
ly with "The Star Spangled Ban
ner,', and Drum Major MacCormack
appeared on the stage with the
American flag. This was the cue
for the finale of the great week.
%Forty-6ye young ladies, dressed in
white, marched on the stage, at the
head Of whom vas South Dakota,
carrying the horn of plenty and
streWing flowers across the stage,
while the young ladies, who repre-
sented the states OF the nation,
threw bouquets of flowers to the
members OF the band. Mitchell was
in the rea OF the procession, and
she presented Director Cook with an
immense and beautiful bouquet of
flowers, which he accepted. The
hand then played sAuld Lang Syne''
amidst the plaudits of the vast
audience. 1t was a pretty and en-
thuiast1c closing Of The great corn
palace week. The German band,
made up Of local talent, appeared on
the stage at the close AND played
one or two of it's famous selections.
So ended corn palace week for
1906, and it will go down down as
one Of the most successful weeks in
the history of the great enterprise.
With the exception of the first day,
the Attendance was large thorough
OUT the week, and on three different
afternoons, the building was filled
to its utmost capacity, one day the
doors being closed against further
admissions.
An Awful Cough Cured.
