MADE A new RECORD
The Milwaukee Road Set a New
Standard for Bringing People
to the Corn Palace

The three special trains over the
Milwaukee road, which arrived in
the city On time this morning set a
new record for the bringing of people
to the corn palace city. S%nperlnten-
dent Collins and Excursion Agent
Walker we're simply astounded when
they saw the people clirbing from
the different trianS as they pulled
into the city. One train came from
Sioux City another from Chamber
lain and the third from F%landreau,
Via Woonsocket, and the employees
landed their freight of humanity
here in tine shape. Mr.. Walker said
that the three trains with the regu-
lar passenger service landed a little
over 1900 people in the city. Mr..
Walker, who is thoroughly ,onversant
with the number of people who have
been hauled into Mitchell on excur-
sion trains during corn palace weeks,
stated to The Republican that the
company made a new record on this
day, aud that they were exceedingly
we'll pleased with the way that the
people are coming to the corn palace
city.

people vas surging its way up Main

One OF the most attractive booths
In the gallery is that which holds
the Millinery display and is doubly
attractive to the ladies and when
they get their first glimpse OF the
creations Of headwear the exclama-
lions are worth listening to. cob,
isn't that a love OF a hat;n and
"wouldn't this look charming on
me;' and COB. Aeien. look at this
dear little baby bonnet" That and
something more is what you hear
around the millinery booth. and the
fine work displayed therein is sut1i-
cient to Jus those expletives over
the creations of 1907, for the ladies
who did the work have the styles
and trimmings worked out In very
excellent taste. In the trimming of
the hats The ladies have used corn
husks, dyed in proper colors and
tints, and also many small things
which grow in she fields, and they
have been utilized in a way that
only the ingenius could devise. There
are twenty hats uf all kinds resting
on the pedesta]s that represent a
great amount of work, but the
result is we'll worth the effort. The
figure of a woman is in the booth
and she wears a cloak of pampus
grass heads and it is a very pretty
piece of work. The booth is
prettily decorated with a border Of
flowers just above a frieze of yellow
flowers, and the chairs and settees are
covered with corr husks. Then
several pretty cushions are strewn
around, n of which is decorated
with a couple Of Teddy bears that
are made OF milk weed. Around
the posts in front are entwined
Morning Glories Of many colors. The
following ladies' performed the task
OF decorating the booth and making
the hats: Mrs. J.. B. Bately, Mrs.
JOS. Harker, Mrs. W. A. Heimber-
ger Miss Maude Hager, Mrs. a.
Wedehase, Mrs. Fred Wedehase, Mrs.

Aberdeen Is up against 1T again on
n lighting proposition, and what
seemed u solution a short time ago
has gone glimmerinR. A month ago
the city council granted an electric
LIGHT franchise to a gentleman living
down in Cresco' Iowa, by the name
of Freehauf, and at the time 1t
seemed to be acceptable to him. The
ordinance provided that the max
imum rate for electric lights should
not exceed ten cents per kilowatt,
and there were many provisions
placed In the ordinance for the pro-
lection of the city. MIR. Freehauf
was present when the ordinance was
passed by the council and he did not
offer any objections to any section of
Che same. Now Mr.. Freehauf upsets
all the calculations of Aberdeen by
writing 60 one of the aldermen stat
Ing chat he has decided not TO ac-
cept the franchise, and he gives as
Dis reason that the maximum rate
is too low anc that the terms of the
ordinance In general are too drastic.
In other words he feels that fine
city council has granted him a fran
chise which he cannot fulfill. Ac-
cording to the A nerican the citizens
OF Aberdeen r indignant at Mr..
Freehauf for his action and 1t rather
puts the town in a bad place fo,
lighting the streets. The contract
Wild ID present lighting company
expires Oct. l, and 1t is the inten.
tion OF the company to suspend that
part OF the lighting business. as II
TOO owns the gas light plant, The
present electric plant is In very boo,
repair and cannot give the city an,
klnd.of decent service, SO the fnt,,r,
LOOKS rather dark on the liphtint
proposition /, as it win take a wear ir
wh'ch TO construct the Plant and ge,
u IN operation. Just what Aber.
deem will do to secure a liohtine
plant has not been disclosed al
present. 1t is evident that the chea1
l'ght proposition as shown up there
Is not n that is desirable from :
practical point of view. And still
u IS strange that a person woulc
assent to such a proposition at thf
outset and then withdraw after the
concession bad been granted.

ONE OF the VERY BEST
"Wednesday Evenings Concert Found
Favor With the Great Corn
Palace Audience.

The greatest proportion of TIE vast
audience in the corn palace Nedues-
day evening a composed OF Mitch
ell people and the program that was
rendered by Mr.. sousa and ll8 band
was one of the b st thai be has
given since the opening night. With
the opening SELECTION of the Second
Hungarian Rhapsody, by III Ut, it
paved the way to some magnificent
musical numbers. The RHAPSODY
number was a splendid IT, i'm the
expressive playing of the ba d. and
it gave the same harmonic effects
that one finds in the orcbest a. 1t
is a difficult matter tor a ha.id to
play a selection Of this chara Lur,
owing to the rich tonal effects that
must be brought out and which the
string and reed instruments are
particularly capable of. but the
musicians and the Sousa baud have
been trained TO the point where they
handle the orchestral number with
practically the same precision. The
audience was SO enthusiastic over the
playing Of the band that three en-
cores were demanded on the first
hunter and to Mr.. Sousa, who
responded all right, The evening com
menced to look like one that was
going 70 be very long, and the rest
of the encores did string it out to
past the usual hour.
John j. Perfetto. the euphonium
s~oloist, played the "Evening STAR
from Tannhauser with the sweetest
tone that instrument ear produce
and he gave a second ~selectlon in
response TO the Moore Pertettc
Stands out in the front rank Of the
euphonim players of the country.
Miss Powers in her violin solos. Miss
Allen in her voice efforts and MI.
Clarke in his cornet solo contributed
to the pleasure of ohe evening.
One Of the most dignlfied numbers
played by the band was the overture
to "Robespierre," by Litolff, which
tells an Interesting story unsteady OF
the war period in France. 1t is a
collaboration of %intricacies in music
that seems to be beyond the work OF
man, and that 1T was than the
effort OF a genius in bringing it
together. We doubt if there is a
more difficult selection written for
band than this, and the way in
which Mr.. Scusa and his band pre-
sents 1t is something of the highest
possible order. For an encore the
band played "Powhatan's Daugh.
ter" This is one of Mr.. Sousa's
latest marches and was played fol
the first time Aug. l, while filling
an engagement at Willow Grove.
near Philadelphia. 1t has the most
enhancing swing to it and with 6
little touch of the weird Indian
rythm it makes a splendidly popular
piece.
With the "Welsh Rhapsody ano
the chorus and march from Tam
hauser as additional numbers on the
program, it was the strongest that
the band has played during tho
week. The music of the Sousa band
is a grand tonic for a person who is
the least down hearted, for it per.
meates every fiber of ones body ane
lifts to the highest pinnacle of gooc
feeling. Being with Sousa for q
week puts new life IN a unity
and makes the world look brighter
and easier to take up the duties thai
are ours to perform.

On the west Of the gallery the
work OF the ladies is continued and
at the head of the stairway in the
corner tower is a dining room that is
receiving a great deal Of attention.
The walls and the canopy top are
draped in pink and blue bunting.
The dining room furniture is COM
posed of a table and four chairs,
which are covered with red grains Of
corn, each OF which is nailed on,
and the chairs and table ale trimmed
with shredded corn husks. There Is
the sideboard treated in the same
manner. while IN another portion OF
the room stands the tall and majestic
clock, which shows an immense
amount of work in the Mailing on
Of corn. The water pitcher and
glasses are covered with corr husks,
all OF which appear quite apptopri-
ate to the design. This bJotb is the
work Of Mr.. and Mrs. r. j. Quinn,
Ralph M. Doyle, Misses Genevieve
Doyle, Nellie Doyle, Lula Rogers
and Jewel Rockwell.
"Down In Dixie Land'' carries one
back to the old days when the plan
tation and coloreu people picking
cotton held sway. This southern
scene is admirably wrought out To
the rear stands the plantation of the
OF masSa, and out on the green
syard are the playing children, while
a little to the rea are tile little
cabins Of the coloted people. The
cabins are made of sugar cane and
the roofs are covered with grains Of
corn. On to the left is the cotton
field with one or two colored people
among the plants. The decorations
around the outside OF the booth are
flax heads which are attached to the
caves and corn. The whole idea is
carried out to a nicely and was
wrought by Miss Lottie Tenney,
Mrs. Clara Pratt, Mrs. Henry
Schultz, Mis-. S. L. Tenney, Miss
Fay Footitt.
The work in the Art Gallery makes
a display of some exceedingly clever
work with the finer materials that
are brought in from the farm, in
which corn silks. husks, etc., are
wrought into some beautiful pictures
that are shown in this department.
To attempt a description Of each
would utilize more space and time
than is at our command. Suffice to
say that the work is Of a character
as to bring forth many kindly ex-
pressions from people who inspect
the pictures closely and discover all
the work that is done on them to
bring them up to a state OF per-
lection. There is a miniature wheat

Louisville and Nashville should agree to accept the rates as the Southern had done, because they had been passed by the Legislature. He proposed that the suits now pending in the Federal Court be dismissed while the new rates should be made effectiye.
 Position of President Smith.
 The position of President Smith as outlined in previously published state- ments. is that the rates as enacted by the Legislature are so low that they are confiscatory and violative of the rights of property as assured under the Constitution. This vas alleged in the bill filed in the Federal Court HLich the road expected to establish in the formal hearing. To withdraw from the court, to take back the bill would be a surrender of the rights of the road.
 It is asserted. too. that surrender of the Louisville and Nashville would only postpone further trouble from antl-railroad agitators
 The road has pursued a policy of development and extension in Alabama that outstrips that of any other read in any other Southern State. The Lou- isville and Nashville has In recent years built 300 miles of branch road, at great outlay. s
 The position is taken that the life or the road, because of it's extensive improvements in Alabama, is wrapped up in the welfare of the State, and that it's life is dependent upon treatment by the State and guided by the rights 1t is legally accorded under the Con- stitution as interpreted by the courts.
 The Louisville and Nashville. it is, therefore. held. must pursue a policy looking not only to the present but to the future. Any agreement made with the Governor could only be tempo rary ih it's nature, and the road in the next campaign might be the same subject for agitation as it was in the last. EE
 The road was now relying on it's vested rights. It must do so in the future. The courts alone could define the just and the unjust rate. The question must necessarily remain un- settled until the courts had defined the rights of the Iitfgants and the law governing them.
 Has Stopped Development. The Louisville and Nashville had so much at stake in Alabama that it could not afford to be the subject of con- stant agitation. Already railroad de- velopment and extension in Alabama had stopped, not only that of the Lou- isvilIe and Nash ville, but that of all other roads in Alabama, as result
