untrue. One member Of the corn
palace committee stated to The Re-
publican that the committee had not
resigned and that correspondence was
also already being carried on for the
corn palace this fall, and that after
D statement Of the treasurer had
been made to the public the com
mittee could resign at time and that
permit the officers to be elected IL
the Commercial League saw fit.
So far as Publishing the dates OF
the corn palace is concerned. the
Gazette certainly is not a good reader
OF its exchanges or it would have
ascertained from outside sources
alone what the dates are.
The corn palace will be held Sept.
"A to %, 1906, inclusive. These dates
were published in the Sioux CITY.
Sioux Falls, st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Omaha papers one week after
the close of the exposition last fall.
and they have been mentioned
ouS Sau-e hOuECeS Two OF
three different times since then. The
Republican has published the dates
several times since last fall, the last
reference to them being on Wednes-
day of this week. Further than that
the dates and a fine picture OF the
corn palace was published in the pro-
gram OF the Retail Merchants As
ISOLATION, which met here last week.
The Gazette made an unfortunate
mistake in criticizing the League
committee when the foundation for
1T was 80 limited, and it will carry
the impression over the state that
the dates have not been selected
when the reverse is true.

PAVILION DEDICATED
Governor Elrod Dedicated the New
Stock Pavilion and Was Ac-
copied by President Erion.

Assembled beneath their own roof
the Stockmen of South Dakota Tues
daycame into full and permanent DOS
session OF 2 home. the like of which
does rot exist in any state in the
United States, and it remained for
this little enterprising State of the
west to set a standard of apprecia-
tion on the live stock interests of
the commonwealth.
The exercises were held in the
pavilion that afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
and the long rows Of ampbitheatre
seats were filled by farmers and.
stoekmen who bad come from all
parts OF the state to attend the dedi.
cation and the sale of stock, which
comes afterward. 1t being a state
building it vas very appropriate
that Governor Elrod should be pres
ent to deliver the address and His
Excellency reached the city ON a
morning train.
1t was quite Il contrast, this as
sembly of stockmen in comparison TO
other years, when they were forced
to put up with all kinds of. incon-
veniences during the exceedingly cold
weather that prevailed during their
sales. Here they we're comfortably
boused in a fine building. the .pavil-
ion portion Of which is %heatedwith
steam and the whole lighted with
electricity and the surrounding cir
cumstances put the stockmen i'm a
most aimable frame OF mind for the
%dedicatory exercises.
At O'Clock President Erion calico
the assembly to order, from d posi-
ton ON the auctioneel's stand, which
was conveniently turned into an
oratorical affair for the afternoon.
Very briefly Mr.. Erion introduced
the governor who was greeted with
applause from the men assembled.
The governor has been in very poor
health OF late and WAS not at his
best on account of it. but he made "A

THE GAZETTE IN ERROR
Contrary to Its Statement the Corn
Palace Dates Have Been
Given to the Public.

The Mitchell Gazette for some rea-
son took a fall out of tbe Commercial
League and the corn palace in this
weeks paper, but on what grounds
1T bases its statements is not known.
The Gazette criticises the League
for not appointing a new corn palace
committee, and announcing the dates
for the coming exhibition, stating
that the old committee had resigned
to take effect Jan. L. The Gazette
wants 1.-THE Business Mems League"
to get a hustle on itself at once and

legislature had no apologies to make
for appropriating 5 5000 for the erec-

make for asking it. He felt exceed

Letter from Florida.

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA, Jan. l, 1905.
After two weeks of wet weather,
"very unusual for December, the new
year is ushered in with bright sunshine
and comfortably warm weather, 80 al
9 80 this morning-that is as early az
we are permitted to rise to look at the
thermometer. 1t seems as If the people
at the North were trying to get rid oil
some of the cold wind, as it comes from
the northeast. Still, as we look upon
the roses in full bloom, and eat the
green peas-just from the basket, moi
the tin can-and fresh strawberries, We
cannot call it winter, but imagine We
are in Maine in summer.
We gladly welcome the Democrat
though it contains nearly every week
sad news from Buckfield in the death o.
citizens.
We are glad to be away from the
snow storms that we read about, as 1t IL
pleasanter to recall how 1t was q fen
years ago in our boyhood days than tt
come in personal contact with them a.
the present time.
Christmas had an unpleasant ending
here. Police officer arrested coloref
man, and on the way to the lookup an
other colored man came up behind ant
slashed him with knife so that he dice
in a short time. The fiend was arrested
and taken to Jail, but he died in a short
time-you can imagine how. The tewi
was very much excited for two days
and there was fear of race war.

rising. Happy new year and more o

Johns Letter.

notice that for some reason two
poetical feet-if they may be called
poetical-do not appear in one of the
lines sent, and so it comes to pass that
the line is "club-foOted" and limps,
and therefore is not suitable running
mate for the line that follows. However,
foot or two makes no perceptible
difference in a centipede or creature
with hundred legs and an equal num-
Der of feet. 1t should read thus:-the
fair
And young, the old and faint. the brave and
strong, the tried and true.
But no matter as long as you are
happy and the weather is fine, and it is.
Could we have winters like this as II
has been thus far, Maine would be all
that could be desired, and we would not
care for the wings of dove that we
might fly away to the Florida delights,
such as Brother Prince enjoys. As it is,
old Maine is good enough for US and
better than we deserve. We spent one
winter in a presumably warmer climate
than this, and suffered more with the
cold than we ever remember of suffering
here. 1t was on the ''old Kentucky
shore"
We wonder if the Democrats animal
stories for the young folks have created
in US a thirst for cat and dog and crit
ter" literature. However that may be,
we have taken from the library of late
1.-THE Life and Adventures of Dog
and 1.-THE Horse of America" which
must be interesting to all dog and horse
lovers, of which we are one. In tracing
the history of the horse and the differ
emit families from the early times one
gets knowledge of the human animals
as we'll, and our ancestors are brought
nearer to us. The same characteristics
that we possess are revealed in them.
1t is doubtful If human nature has
changed in the least since old man Adam
and his spouse INDUCED in pippins and
saw things in different light.
Since we came to Buckfield nearly
fifteen years ago, there have passed over
into the other country from this school
district and the two districts south nine
ty-five souls if we count Alright. They
have Joined the innumerable caravan
that have moved and are moving to the
| pale realms of shade. No doubt there is
room for all in the infinite spaces, anG
with ample opportunities to find all we
ever knew and loved below.

Died from Eating Chalk.
A PECULIAR CASE OF POISONING AT
RUMFORD FALLS.

Thursday night Florette Giroux, the
1S-months-old daughter of Edward
Giroux of Rumford Falls, died from the
effects of poisoning by colored chalk.
The child was at the home of an uncle,
as her mother was about to be confined.
During the afternoon of Thursday the
baby got possession of the chalk while
playing on the floor, and, childlike, be-
gan eating it, large lot having been
consumed before the discovery was
made. The little one steadily grew
worse during the afternoon and evening,
and passed away at II o'clock that night:
A coroner was notified, but considered
an inquest unnecessary.

THE SPIRIT OF WINTER

The Spirit of Winter is with US, max
ing its presence known in many different
ways-sometimes by CHEEKY sunshine
and glistening SHOWS, and sometimes by
driving winds and binding storms. To
many people it seems to take q delight
in making bad things worse, for rheu-
matism twists harder, twinges sharper,
catarrh becomes more annoying, and the
many symptoms of scrofula are developed
and aggravated. There is not much
poetry in this, but there is truth, and it
