I" The Kilties Are Coming. .

This world famous Scotch concert
band, now touring the United States,
will be the leading musical feature at
Mitchelrs Annual Corn Palace and
Harvest Festival, during the week OF
September "a to 20, inclusive. This SUI
perb musical organizationo 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
Palacewhich has a seating capacity 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 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 entertainment of the large
crcwds 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. Y
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 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.
| Remember the dates, September "a to
29 both inclusive.

Mesa Verde locality in Colorado and
New Mexico, was received with in.
tense satisfaction by the friends of
the bill in this city. The measure as
II passed the house, contains one
amendment which was not in the bill
when 1t passed the senate but the
senators have indicated that they are
favorable to the amendment and will
probably unanimously accept ii and
the bill should reach the president
for his signature within week The
amendment places all OF the clif
dwelling ruins within a radius of Ave
miles OF the park under the control
nf the superintendent OF the park.
Enactment of the law creating this
new national park In southern Colo
rado with its famous cliff dwellings
and attractions will do as much to
increase tourist traffic to southern and
southwestern Colorado as any one act
ever performed by the national gov
eminent. A large number of the
