MlTCHELL'S CORN PALACE.
September 2s to October 3, 1908.


The agricultural exhibit at the Mitch
ell corn palace this fall will undoubted-
Is be the finest collection of farm pro-
ducts ever exhibited in the state. The
management has offered some very at
tractiye cash prizes and the several
counties that have been fortunate
enough to secure space are putting
forth some efforts TO win
first prize. The bountiful crops just
harvested will afford the exhibitors an
opportunity to make a most excellent
showing.
Thaviu's concert band and symphony
orchestra have been engaged for two
concerts eac day for the entire week.
This celebrated band, during the pres
ent season, has delighted the thousands
who have ~thronged the White City,
Chicago's popular summer resort. Nj.
Thaviu Is one of the rising band lead
ers OF the continent and the immense
success which has attended each APP
pearance of his band has demonstrated
that he plays music that touches the
popular chord. The arrangement of NJ.
Thaviu's program deserves a word OF
commentator for the excellent judg-
ment used. The weight OF classic mum
bers Is lifted by airy little popular Sc
lections which serve as a frothy deli
cacy TO render even more palatable the
heayier offerings.
A new feature this year will be the
introduction OF high class vaudeville
which will max up about one-half of
the program. The management has
been able TO secure five superb acts,
the cream of the Orpheum circuit.
Henri French, acknowledged the lead
ing impersonator on the stage today, is
q whole show in himself. His imper-
sonation of some of the worlds greatest
musicians is immense and captures his
audience at once. NJ. Henri is a nifty
little man who is sure to score a win
ner on the program, as he has done
in all the leading cities of the United
States. Lew Sully, the celebrated
monologist, will furnish the fun, his
side splitting jokes and comical ex-
pressions have made him the ideal of
the Orpheum circuit.
Mazuz and Mazette, the acrobatic
comedians, keep their audience In a
continuous uproar from the moment
they appear on the stage until the
curtain falls. Their wonderful gym
nastic feats combined with their fun
provoking attitudes beat a circus.
Rottlna and Stevens, the beautiful
lady dancers, execute the most difficult
dances with an ease and grace that Is
charming. They carry their own spe-
Ciai SCeIery anu Dy the ala OF varied
colored lights make a beautiful stage
setting. Throughout the entire Orpheum
circuit they nave received the most
fiattering press notices.
Another act that must be seen to be
appreciated is THE Laurent Trio
These people present some of the most
marvellous feats of strength ever at
tempted.
The above five complete acts will be
given at each concert accompanied by
the celebrated Symphony orchestra,
which Will prove one of the most in
teresting n amusing programs ever
presented to a western audience. AS
the corn palace has in the past en-
deavored to present to its thousands
of annual visitors the best entertain
ment money could procure, so this year
neither money nor time has been spared
In securing what we believe will prove
the most entertaining program ever
presented in the state.
Besides the above mentioned acts,
which appear at each concert, the man
agement has provided an excellent line
of free street attractions. More money
has been expended on this feature than
In previous years in order that this
part OF the entertainment should keep
pace with the rest.
All railroads in the state, In esponse
TO the repeated demands of their pa
lApiiS W IO WISH " WISH the pdsdC6 IulS
year, ave granted a half fare rate
from all parts OF the state, good for the
entire week.
This annual harvest festival has come
to be recognized as the most elaborate
affair Of its kind in the world. Most Of
our citizens, however, fail to recognize
the vast mount of good that has come
to our state through this agency alone.
The fame of Mitchelrs corn palace
has spread Throughout the United
States and, In fact. all over the civilized
world. Through this medium the great
agricultural possibilities of the COM
monwealth have been made public.
The great tide of immigration that
has been pouring into every county In
the state. from all parts of the world,
for the past six or eight years, is the
best evidence Of what the corr palace
has done In the way Of advertising the
states resources.
Remember the dates. September %
to October s. Inclusive.
