Near at hand in a field was a bucket of tar and a pillow of down, contributed by an enthusiastic housewife. Dry shaw ings were ready to be touched into a blaze. And at the station a crowd of several hundred watched and waited.
 As each train pulled into Monroe the crowd would circle around the cars, guarding each exit, and scan J each descending passenger in hope of coming across the man who had sac rificed his wife. It was an irreverent crowd. It rocked little of artistic tenn peraments or afflnities.

 Time was when those gathered there were wont to do Earle at least respect full homage. But on this occasion they eagerly demanded of the conductors:
 Have you got Whiskers on boardT' And of the passengers who alighted they inquired: ..n -. "Is False Face coming? We have a little reception arranged for him which it would be a pity for him to miss"
 Down the road, to the dark turning where the rope was stretched, pickets were stationed to give the signal of Earle's approach. But he came not A wiser if not a better man, he de- termined to remain in New York, conti' dent that the night air of Orange county was not good for his health and after waiting until the last train came and left the villagers gave uT the demonstration they had prepared. But they did not abandon their pur pose of making Monroe too hot fol Ferdinand Pinney Earle. Related way farers out in the country about mile from the Earle estate might have seer light streaming from barn. Had they entered they would have found more than 100 of the farmers and not few of the village folk assembled in meet 1 ing. Had they remained long enougl | they would have seen the adoption o a resolution which calls on Ferdinand Pinney Earle to betake himself, bat and baggage, from Monroe and neve return more.

 This resolution will be served ol Earle when he returns. And if tn temper of the meeting is criterion will be backed by such hints as ma, give it all the force and effect of { duly enacted law.

over the two south exits the work
is broad and dignitied in squares of
red, white and yellow corn, which
is flushed out at the top With i'm
mense s%nntlowers of yellow corn.
one of the most striking features
of the decorations is the large band
OF belt of blocks, which are about five
feet wide and extend around the
south and east sides Of the bull ding.
Three sides of the blocks are shown
and are done in red, white and
yellow corn. Just above this is a
narrow band Of diamond shaped
figures in red corn, with a back
ground OF white corn, which also
follow around 10th sides. Looking
at these some distance away en-
hances the effect much greater-.tban
when close.

are trimmed alternately with red,
white and yellow corn. with a mar
row hand OF deep red corn. separat-
gin the sections.
The decorations on each side
culminate in the work done on the
southwest corner tower, where the
artist has accomplished something
that appeals TO the eye of the most
artistic. The dome is covered with
wheat heads, while just below is a
frieze of fourleaf clover in.red corn.
From that project the small caves,
and hanging from them are little
punches OF f%laXheads. Then comes
a smaller freiZe Of lleur de lis and
half diamond shaped figures. The
central figure of the tower is an i'm.
mense Swastika emblem, made OF
yellow corn and having a back
ground Of deep red corn. On each
side Of the emblem half moon circles
have been made of various colored
corn, and the whole has a very rich
effect, With the red. white and
yellow corn. The case of the build
ing is finished off with sugar can
made in small blocks. With the
Swastika emblem and the four Leaf
clover in such abundance certainly
ought TO bring good luck to the

Some very artistic work appears
over the south side entrance and

BURNED BY AN EXPLOSION
Mamie Terrill Was Burned This
Morning by the Explosion of a
Gasoline Stove.

Miss Mamie Terrill, a young lady
about is years old, was severely
burned Monday by the explos-
ion of a gasoline stove in an eating
house stand that adjoins Mrs. Loes-
er's millinery establishment on Main
street. The young woman was work
ing around the stove from which the
gasoline escaped and when the ex-
plosion occurred she was standing
in such a position that the flames
shot out and partially struck her face
her left side, however, receiving most
of the flames. The persons around
the kitchen hurried to her assistance
just as soon as possible, but not be-
fore she was burned severely. She
was taken to the hospital Immediate
ly and DR.. Bobb was called to her as
sistance. 1t is thought that if she
has not inhaled any of the flames
that there will be a good chance for
her recovery.
The young lady's parents, who re-
side a few miles south of town, were
called to the city and are with her al
the hospital. 1t was a very unfor.
tunate circumstance and it is sincere.
ly hoped that the young lady will re.

AS The BUILDING LOOKS
The Decorations are of a High Char
acter and Show Forth in Most
Respondent Beauty.

For the tenth tine, since the year
1892, Mitchell's corn palace building
is again. resplendent in its nav CART
%of.corn, v%ariegated in color. rich in
design, harmonious in theme, and,
withal, a structure that will win
the admir- alton OF the admiring
thousands who will look upon it's
glories during the week of the corr
palace, which opened Monday.
And what does it all stand for?
The magniicently decorated build
ing, with it's wealth Of corn decora-
ton, says to the world that South
Dakota is a corn producing state.
There have been and are, perhaps,
skeptical ones i'm Iowa and Illinois
TO-DAY. who question the fact that
|SCutD / akOta'S t~emDtrature will not
permit lhe maturing of Il crop of
corn, that the season Is too short
FOL the grain to escape frost. The
corn palace demonstrates that in the
past eight years cor has matu1ed
long before the first frost of the fall
SET in, and this year the corn has
beaten out the frost by a week. 1t
is true thlt there have been one or
two close calls, but outside Of those
instances the corn crop has had the
best OF it. The corn crop today is
away ahead OF the frost Injury. The
corn palace shows to the would what
South Dakota is doing in the agri-
cultural line through the county

building canno, be comprehended
the work fro day to Gay, since the
WORK of decorating was commenced
Sept. a. When it is taken into
consideration that all the corn has to
be husked a month b fore it is ready,
ard must be hauled in some cases
quite a distance and that the huSks
have to be removed after it is
drought to town and then all the
other work that naturally follows
can guess that there is something
doing all the time. The corn is all
sawed by a band saw into two
| pieces, and thousands Of buttons are
nade by saving it on the end, and
t'trse are utilized in many ways for
decorating inside and out. There is
over $4,000 square feet OF surface
that must he covered, and every ear
Of corn has got to be nailed on, so it
will be seen that there is an i'm
mense amount of work to be done in
a short space Of time. About 1000
bushels Of corn is required to do all
the decorating, and some of the
corn costs as high as Is cents per
bushel in the field.
But the corn palace is serving its
purpose Of advertising the resources
of South Dakota and that it has
been a strong factor in bringing
many new people into various parts
OF the state there is no question.

STORY OF SILENT" SMITH.

Hltine by Chicago Girl Made Late
Millionaire TaoltuFN.
The long bachelorhood and tacturni-
y Of the late James Henry Silent
Smith. the New York millionaire, was
declared recently by a Chicago broker
who knew him intimately yeaS ago 20
have been due to a love affair which
Smith had when a young man In CID
cage, says a special dispatch to the
New York World.
Smith fell In love with young wo-
man who seemingly returned his affec-
tons, but at the last moment Tilted
him and is now the wife Of a Milwau-
kee real estate dealer.
Prior to that happening In his life
Mr. Smith was declared to be jolly and
normal in all respects. The disappOint-
ment he took to heart keenly and grad
ually developed into the silent man
who proved such an enigma to his
friends and even to members Of his
own family. 1t Is declared that he new
er made a confidant Of anybody after
being Tilted. One member of his own
family said lately: "No one ever knew
him well. Even his own brothers and
sisters here CChicago) did not He was
well named Silent"
In spite of SILENT Smiths seeming
obliViousness to relatives, 1t develops
that he kept in touch with them all the
time. He took a keen interest In the
welfare of his neDheWs and nieces and
grandnephews and grandnIeces, forty
Of whom he educated or arranged to
educate In different schools and col
leges. Twelve Of his young hnfoIk
are now students at Lake Forest Ober-
lin and Illinois universities, the art
institute and Armour institute. For
years he had regular method Of dis
tributng some Of his enormous income
among his relatives, who are all con-
ident that he has made generous pro-
vision for them in his will.
