This world famous Scotch concert
band, now touring the United States.
will be the leading musical feature at
Mitchell's Annual Corn Palace and
Harvest Festival, during the week OF
September oath to 29th, inclusive.
This suberb musical organization OF
sixty pieces has but recently come to
America from very successful Eu-
ropean tour, during the course OF
which they played by royal command, !,

Castle and Sandringham, and their

of 5000.
The new Corn Palace itself will OF
course, be the most attractive feature
of the exposition. The Palace this
year is larger and mo elabor ate 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
carly date, secured space for the plac-
ing of beautiful exhibits of their vari-
edagricultural products and resources.
The bOuntious crops throughout the
state, whicn are now ready for the
harvest, make possible the greatest
and grandest agricultural exposition
ever held in the Northwest and the
energy and enterprise of the people OF
Mitchell will transform this pOssiblll-
ty into an accomplished fact.
Many other attractions besides the
celebrated "Kilties" band have been
engaged 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," will give two free
concerts daily. Mr.. Morphy sings
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 numerous
free street attractions have been en-
gagged for the entire week. afternoon
and evening. The balloon will &C

A Queer Old World.

This is a queer old world.
Now there's Corporal Tanner
down in Minneapolis this week
pleading with the Grand Army
in the interests of temperance to
memorialize congress to reestab-
lish the canteen in the army and
permit only harmless beer and
light wines to be sold. While
Tanner is doing his talking Tom
my Hogan is out here in Grant
county putting the commander S
theory to the test, and showing
what a splendid fighting man
can be made out of very com mon
clay with the assistance Of a
"poney" of harmless beer. Now
Tommy probably thought that
he was in condition to fight
fourteen regiments of wild cats
but he wasn't. And if Tommy
had been an officer his indul-
gence in the harmless bever
age which Tanner champions
might have resulted disastrously
to the regiment or the army
And this brings the thought tc
the front that while it might be
sweet for soldier to die for his
country, all the sugar would be
taken out of the thing if a fellow
believed that he was being
slaughtered because Of the blum.
der of some beer-befogged brain
that happened to have a set OF
shoulder straps to protect him
from a charge of numbering his
men.

A Curious Coincidence.

The story of queer coincidence Is
told by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. While
travelling upon the continent he visited
certain mountain inn, which was In
winter, he learned, occupied only by
two men. These men, prisoned In
waste of snow and ice, had for all that
period no communication with the
world below. Here was a situation for
novelist! And the novelist accord
ingly began to let his imagination play
about the possibilities Of tragedy sur
rounding the two men on their noun
tain height But the story was never
written, for, happening to come upon
q volume of Guy de Maupassant, which
was new to him, he found therein, un-
der the title Of ''L'Auberge," the very
story he had meant to write.

Salmon river enters from the south, a

braces approximately that part Of the

about 100000 acres Of land In the
Snake river valley, which, with many
local differences, are alike more or less
heavily covered with sagebrush. 1t

sixty Thousand Seeds to the Plant.
The common purslane is one OF the
wonders Of botany as far as seeds are
concerned. A single seed of this plant
will produce about twenty seed pods
in q season. The average number OF
seeds in each Of these, by actual count,
il 5000, making 10000 In all. AS far
as we have been able to learn there is
no instance of similar fruitfulness in
any plant found growing in this coun-
try A single plant Of either the James
town weed c'jimson'), the butterweed,
the ragweed and some of the vervines
produce an enormous number OF seeds,
but it is doubtful If any one OF them
produces one-f fourth as many in year
as the purslane does.-St. Louis Re-
