VALUE OF CORN PALACE
Judge Chamberlain Declares 1t Is
Better Than Any Kind of a
Street Carnival.

1.-The eorn palace at Mitchell means
more to THAT city than does all the
dirty carniN walls sioux Falls ever had.
1.-The %Rreciiers association at
Mitchell is worth more 10 that town

THE above Two epiglams along
wltll~a dozen. Others were the basis
of an address. delivered by Judge A.
e. Chamberlain at ..Sioux Falls a few
days ago on the Occasion OF the mar
ket day gathering. Judge Chamber
lain is some Of the most malter-of-fact
speakers in the state and when lie
has anything to say lie gives it out
straight fromfthe shoulder without
regard to the feelings of parties in
terested, s;apd he took OCCASION to tell
Sioux Falls people a few plain truths
concerning their attitude or indiffer-
ence to the farmino interests of Min
nehal,a county and the state at large.
In the coutse Of his talk Judge
Chamberlain paid Mitchell the above
compliments.
The corn palace and the stock
mems association are two enter
prises in which the city Of Mitchell
takes a great deal OF pride, and for
two reasons: They are the foLnda-
stion for the development OF inter
ests that means the upbuilding of
the state in general and placing the
farming interests on a solid, tinan-
cial basis. This city, through its
corn palace and the breeders %
vention, is glad indeed to contribute
its mite toward the upbuilding OF

TIE WOMEk ARE AROUSED
Mormon Missionaries Aroused the
Ire of South Side Ladies in
Talking Polygamy.


The two Mormon missionaries who
have been introducing their religious
belief in this city by making u house
to house canvas. got rather u warm
reception on the south side Tuesday
from several LADIES. whose houses
they invaded for the purpose OF
spreading their gospel and truth. On
calling at tile home OF one OF the
ladies tue Mormon was promptly
applied with the question as their
polygamOus ideas, and he at once
went Into an earnest defence of that
part OF their religion. The lady
said She was shocked beyond measure
at tue expressions the man made and
after she refused to listen longer he
Insisted on making the subject more
plain and the palmer he tried to
make Ut the more painful it became
to the lady.
The lady finally rid herself of the
presence of the Mormon and in
formed him that he would not have
an opportunity to spread his gospel
-any farsher in that immediate vicin-
ity and she Immediately donued her
hat aud started out on the street,
calling at all the residences and
lniurming the ladies the nature of
the gospel the Mormon missionary
was trying to introduce i'm their
homes. Five or six of the ladies
gathered in a group on the street
aud talked the situation over and
they decided to take steps &c prevent
any o missionary being work
done in that part of the city. One
o! tile ladies informed The Repub-
liran that the missionary talked
viii, The utluGst freedom in support
of pelggamy, urging the telief that
plural marriages was the only relief
for doing away with the social evil
in this country.
This is the first instance that we
have heard where the missionaries
have talked the polygamous teach
ings of their religion so strongly,
and as they SAY. they only do so
when they are questioned on the
subject.
Four of the ladies on the south
side joined in a public protest
against the Mormon invasion. and it
is published below:
10 the Editor: We noticed an
article in The Republican several
Mitcl1ellS in which. among other
things, the Mormon missionaries are
represented a stating thas they
we're not connected with the polyga-
nous Mormon church, but were
teaching the religion OF the Church
of Jesus Christ.
Evidently these sanity mission
aries misrepresented their work to
the reporter, for they are making a
house to house canyas of our city and
in II neiphborhood, at least. de-
clared their belief in plural marriage
and we're very persistent Ia their
argument in favor of the abominable
recommending plural marriage as a
remedy for the ''social evil,'' now
existing i'm our cities.
One OF these SANITY gentlemen (y)
was very folcibly informed that This
neighhorhood would not tolerate him
nor his abominahle doctrine another
minute; that he must not only get
out OF the neigllborhood bnt get out
aud STAY away from the south side.
and he left.
In the name of sacred mother
hood; i'm the name Of innocent girl
hood we want to ask are oEr citizens
going to Tolerate this thing any
longer?

PASSENGER TRAFFIC GReA
It Takes Three to Five Extre
Coaches On Excursion Days to
Haul the Passengers.

That South Dakota is being in
vestigated from one end to the
other by people from Illinois and
Iowa is demonstrated fully on the
excursion days each week. Tuesday
evening when the Milwaukee trains
arrived from the east and south each
had on four extra concEes ard they
We're ill, d to a fuilness with pas
Sengers, and on arriving here there
was Il general breakup. While Il
gopdly number got off at Mitchell
to look over the country the greater
portion went on west to view the
reservation country, and it was
necessary to send the train west in
two sections.
Wednesday these same trains have
more passengers than they can
handle and make time, and as a
result the south train is four hours
late, and carries four extra coaches,
while the east train is three hours
late and has the same number of ex-
ira cars. Tuesday and Wednesday
are the excursion days for home
seekers on the Milwaukee road.
In conversation with Chief Dis
patcher Anderson he said that while
at Sanborn he noticed that there
was quite a good deal of travel, but
not until he reached Mitchell did he
have any idea OF the magnitude OF
the situation. With both trains roll
ling into the depot with seven
coaches on each train he commenced
to realize TO what extent the travel
into South Dakota reached.

tervals the bucket shoot up and down
again. 1t seemed empty, and they
thought Wright dead.
The concentration with which Per
ry played his deadly game was his un-
doing. Noiselessly jumping through
the window, Sullivan sprang upon him
from behind, pinioning his arms.
Meanwhile, Pugh stopped the bucket
at the surface, and then the two men
after a sharp struggle, succeeded in
throwing the mailman to the ground
and tying him up with rope. Then
they found Wright, limp at the bot
tom of'the bucket
Perry was painting in a corner Of
the host-room, trussed up like sau-
sage.
What did you do that for?" asked
Sullivan heatedly.
THAT fellows name is Jack, amt
it?" counter-questioned Perry, point
ing to the limp form of Wright.
What has that got to do with itH'
well, | was just Jumping the Jack,
that's ALL" scowled Perry, turning his
face to the wall.
So far this is the only explanation
he has vouchsafed, and he is plainly in
sane.

MANHATTAN MINING NOTES.

Manhattan, Nevada, July 5.-To be
whiZZed up and down a two hundred
foot shaft for two hours, with ma
MAC at the throttle of the hosting
machine, is the experience vouch-
safed to Jack Wright, miner employ
ed in the Jumping Jack mine here.
Yesterday at noon, Jack, who has a
good appetite, came up from the lower
levels to eat his lunch in the sunshine
At one o'clock, he stepped upon the
bucket" by which his companions had
already dropped back to work, and sig
nailed to the engineer at the hoist, who
was in plain view, to lower him. The
latter, John Pugh by name, started
to comply. He had released the brake,
and the big drum about which the ca
BILE was coiled had made already sew
eral revolutions, when Richard Perry
walked into the hoist-house.
Stop that bucket" he said.
Pugh, his eyes glued to the paying
out cable, paid no attention. Perry,
the former engineer at the hoist, had
been fired several weeks before for
drunkenness, and ever since he had
been lounging N harmless drunken be-
fuddlement about the works.
Stop that bucket" repeated Perry.
Wait minute till get Jack down, "
said Pugh, with conciliatory manner.
stop that bucket" said Perry.
There was something so incisive III
the command that, this time, Pugh
looked up. He looked up into the muz-
zle of forty-tive Colts, behind which
two eyes. out of their sockets with de-
moniacal frenzy, glared.
Wait just minute" Pugh started
to say. trying to gain time.
Perry CRASHED his teeth, placed the
cold muzzle upon Pugh's temple, and
cCcked the gun. Pugh put on the
brakes, turned on his heel, jumped out
of the rear window, and went down the
hill to get help.
Perry calmly established himself up.
on the vacated stool. his cooked six.
shooter conveniently at hand. He re
leased the brake. The drum began tC
revolve, slowly at first, then faster, till
it hummed Then, Just as the extrem
ity of the cable was almost reached
Perry jammed on the brakes, released
them, damned them on again, and
the thing to stop, just at the place or
the cable where piece of Irvine show
ed the reaching of the lower level
Immediately, however he threw the
electric controller forward a notch
then another, then full on, and the
drum began to revolve in the Other
direction. Up wound the cable, the
drum fairly buzzing. Perry kept hi
eyes on the shaft. Suddenly the buck
ct whizzed out of the opening, up on
into the sunlight Perry threw tn,

again. When it got down, it came up
again; when it was up, it went down
again-all at vertiginous speed. And
this is the game that for two hours,
alone upon the top of Gold Hill, the
mad engineer played.
As for Wright, meanwhile, he was
having a nice time. When Pugh had
made his discreet exit, he had found
himself in a motionless bucket, swing
ing idly between two Ievels. He was
Just reaching over to ring two bells
for further descent, when the bucket
started down. His satisfaction was of
short duration. however. Down drop
ped the bucket at speed that jumped
Wright's heart into mis- mouth There
were big drops of perspiration upon his
honest brow when the thing stopped
with jerk. He was just on the point
If clambering down, when-'z-z-z-z-z"
the bucket began to slide upward
The speed increased to a mad one
This time he was sure there was some
thing wrong, and so, very wisely, he
dropped to the bottom of the bucket
making himself as small as possible,

golden sunlight blinded him; he had

The impressions of Wright during
