g The Kilties Are Coming. y

q This world famous Scotch concert
band, now touring the United States,
will be the leading musical feature at
Mitchell's Annual Corn Palace aud
Harvest Festival, during the week of
September "a to %, inclusive. This su-
perb musical organization of sixty pieces
has but recently come to America from
a very successful European tour, during
the course of which they played by
royal command, before King Edward at
Balmoral Castle and Sandringham, and
their engagement will without doubt
be the musical event OF the season in
South Dakota. The band will give two
specially arranged concert programs
daily in the magnificent new Corn
Palace which has seating capacity of
6,OOO
The new Corn Palace itself will, of
course, be the most attractive feature
Of the exposition. The Palace this year
is larger and more elaborate than ever
before, and the decorations in corn,
grains, grasses, and fruits promise to
surpass in harmonious effect and orig.
inality of design, anything ever before
attempted in this line.
Over twenty of the most progressive
counties Of the state have, at this early.
date, secured space for the placing Of
their varied agricultural products and
resources. The bountious crops through
out the state, which are now ready for
the harvest, make possible the greatest
agricultural exposition ever held in the
northwest, and. the energy and enter
prise of the people of Mitchell will.
transform this possibility into an &C
complished fact.
Many other attractions besides the
celebrated "Kilties" band have been en-
gagged for the entertainments of the large
crowds which will visit Mitchell during
Corn Palace week.
Burt Murphy, "the man who sings to
beat the band," will give two free con-.
certs daily. Mr.. Murphy 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-
lgaged for the entire week, afternoon
and evening. The balloon will 60 up;
the bumps will be bumped; not dull
or uneventful moment during the entire
week. Something doing all the time.
Exursion rates of one fare for the
round trip have been secured on all
railroads and better arrangements than
ever before have been made for special
excursion trains to accommodate the
large crowds who wish to visit Mitchell
during Corn Palace week.

PLANETARY VITALITY.
EArthuunkes Can Take Place Only ON
Living Globes.

I a 4 . /
A moonquake is now unthinkable,
because the moon Is as dead as a door
nail Our satellite Is ever foreshad-
owing our own ultimate doom, like the
mummy at Egyptian banquets," but In
the meantime, if the Edinburgh Review
has correctly conceived the teachings
Of seismology, the inhabitants Of earth
may console themselves for the havoc
wrought through earthquakes by re
fiecting that they demonstrate the vi
tality of our planet. In that distant
past when the moon actually quaked
there may - some scientists declare
there must--have been forms of aniIna-
ton upon its surface. Though the
moon. by reason of Its smaller size,
was bound to lose Its atmosphere, it
must have taken millions of years to
do SO, and there may have been time 4
for the cycle of life, from the primeval
germ up to sentient beings and down
again to the hardest lingering plant
cells, to run Its full circle" The writer
IN the Edinburgh Review continues to
aeyelop his line of thought:
Earthquakes are sign Of planetary
vitality. They would seem to be char
acteristic Of the terrestrial phase Of de-
velopment. Effete globes like the moon
can scarcely be subject to the stress to
which they are due, nor can they be
very suitably constituted for the prop
agation Of elastic waves. Inchoate
worlds, such as Jupiter and Saturn,
are still less likely to be the scenes of
reverberating conclusions. Their ma
terials have not yet acquired the neces-
sary cohesion. They are pasty or fluid,
lie not partially vaporous. On the earth

up their minds that the state could
get along with s2,000,00 in the treas
ury and refused to accept more money
from taxpayers except for school pur-
poses.
The explanation for this remarkable
condition in Wisconsin is that the
railroads are footing the state expense
bills. Under a new ad valorem law
the railroads pay nearly three mil
lions annually into the state treasury
-one-third more than they did wiNan
a license fee system was in operation.
The change is directly attributed to
Senator LaFollette's long fight while
he was governor.
The amount Of taxes RENTED is
S1,S1S,335. The school tax, amounting
to s643,680, goes back to the tax.
payers in the support of the public
schools. This is the first time since
the Wisconsin law was passed pro.
viding for state aid for common
schools that any part of the school
tax has been RENTED While La
Toilette was governor parts of the
usual state taxes were RENTED, but
in former years there has newer been
a total remission.
On October 1, the balance in the
general fund of the state treasury,
the fund out of which is taken the
amount of the taxes RENTED, and
out of which comes the eEnsral ex
penses of the state, was S2,129.411, oi
nearly 81 for every person in the
state. 1t is estimated that the total
receipts of the general fund for the
current calendar year will be S4,6S9,-
700, and the total expenditures $4.327,-
200. 1t is also estimated that the
balance in the fund January 1 will be
$1,544,115.
If Wisconsin had not Just started
TO build a s5,000,000 capitol the state
probably would not have made any
tax levy at all this year. All of the
state taxes are returned to the people
/ IN one form or another: The so-called
state debt is in reality not state
debt. During the Civil war Wisconsin
did have state debt, but years ago
all the bonds were bought I'D by the
state with money from what is known
as the common school trust or perma-
nent fund The interest paid on these
bOhNo CdOu .UCSOliiCO DcIL VI
income of this trust fund and as such
is distributed among the common
schools.
The only difference of opinion as to
the advisability of levying state taxes
for educational purposes has been
over the system of distributing the
money after it has been raised. As
the taxes are based on the assessed
valuation of property and the dis
tribution of the money based on the
number of school children In each
district and on arbitrary apportion-
ments of funds to the higher insti-
tons of learning, there has been some
complaint in the past from the richer
sections of the state, which had to
bear proportionately larger share
of the taxes.
What has been done in Wisconsin
could be done in almost every other
state. In fact, il the franchises of the
public service corporations were
taxed as they should be, and if cor
porations were made to pay taxes on
the valuations on which they make
the people pay dividends. there would
be little other taxation necessary for
the expenses of either state or local
government

are worth putting side by side so that
men seeing them may think.
In Philadelphia "The Clansman, was
to be played A negro mob gathered
to prevent it. Fifty policemen were
called to dispense the mob, but only
succeeded in doing so after the di-
rector of public safety had promised
that he would use his influence to
prevent a repetition of the play.
At the same time arrangements
were being made down in South
Carolina for the funeral of a southern
woman descended from one of the
old slave holding families of the
state. It was decided that she should

by black men, as pallbearers, who had
once been family slaves and who.
when set free. remained Through the
two score OF years that had elapsed,
on the old plantation they mad worked
on as slaves.
'"The Clansman" is the product Of
a new negro" hating southern white
man. The mob was in a northern
city, but it was composed of new
white-man hating negroes The Phil
adelphia scene represented what has
been so boastfully proclaimed in the
new south. The silence and sadness
in the old South Carolina home ftly
represented the old south.

England as the center of the princi-
pal scenes. 1.-The Forrest Home for
Stage Veterans" by Phoebe Prescott
Humphrey tells the story of Spring

Edwin Forrest as a home for veteran
actors, and Our National Thanksgiv-
