tory-Biack HilS MINES Gxhlplt.
The South Dakota state fair at HUI
ron was the most successful in the
history of the state.
In some departments space is too
limited to make as good showings as
desired, but altogether the exhibits
are attractively displayed. Special
exhibits by counties are larger than
anticipated. Those from McCook,
Minnehaha, Clark, Sphinx, Dawson,
Brown, Clay, Turner, Coddington,
Hughes, Beadle and Kingsbury coun-
ties, being especially attractive. Each
of these counties has given special at
tention to farm products, and Eastern
people marvel at the wonderful show
ing. OF fruits and vegetables the dis
play exceeds that of last year,
although the season in nearly every
section Of the state was unfavorable
to fruit growth.
From the Black Hills comes one of
the most extensive, as well as valua-
BILE and instructive displays Of miner
ais, ores, ETC., ever seen from that Sec
ton of the country. 1t is in charge
of men of experience, and at the close
of the fair will remain in this city.
It is valued at many thousands Of dol
lars, and will be a permanent fixture
of the fair.

WORKING ON CORN PALACE.

Col. Robe Arrives to Decorate the
Building for the Sixteenth Con-
~secutive Year.
Monday work started in the decora-
ton Of the exterior of the corr palace
building. Col. A. Rohe of Lawrence,
Kan, who has decorated the Mitchell
building since the year 1892, arrived
in the city Sunday, and Monday began
drawing the designs which will effec-
lively adorn the building. The first
load of corn was brought n for deco
ratve purposes Saturday evening, and
1t showed a good maturity and fully
out of the way of frost. Fifty men
and boys were put to work stripping
the corn, saving it into halves and
making buttons out of it. 1t will re-
quire 1000 bushels of corn to owe
the building, and every bushel of it
has beer grown on the farms of Davi-
o county.
The corn palace will open on Sept.
%, with the presence of William ].
Bryan as the feature of the day. This
will be Democratic day. The Re-
bublicans have not absolutely secur-
ed their speaker a yet, but a tenta-
tive arrangement was made by Chair
man Hitchcock with Messrs. w. G.
Cook, chairman of the state commit
tee, and George A. Silsby of this city,
whereby it is likely that James Sher-
man, the Republican vice presidential
candidate, will be sent to Mitchell on
a tour of the Northwest, the route for
which has not been fully decided
p The national committee did not
indicate that Judge Taft would make
q tour Of the country, and if 1t should
be decided upon, it would be after the
corn palace week. Arrangements are
being carried forward to secure the
presence of Eugene chain, the Prohi-
bition presidential candidate, for n
day of the corn palace, with strong
chances of securing him. Mr.. Sher-
man will be in Mitchell Friday or Sat-
urday. while Mr.. Chain will come
about Wednesday.

TAFT GAINING STRENGTH.
Independent Political Writer Finds
Republican Candidate Popular.

@AeSDS1ASts 1ihA1
Republican Candidate Popular.
Walter Wellman, the Washjngton
correspondent of the Chicago Record
Herald, thinks Taft Is gaining strength
Writing Of his candidacy recently he
said:
at is not denied that for some weeks
after the Chicago convention there was
In the East, Mt least, an undertone Of
prejudice against Judge Taft. ~sprinsins
from the belief that he was Il mere
echo OF Roosevelt; that he was mot
his own man." that he could not have
been nominated but for the Presidcnts
aid, and that he is only a stalking horse
for the man at Oyster Bay. Curiously
enough, many men who like Roosevelt,
and would vote for hin If he were ia
'un again, felt lukewarm toward ran
because Of this belief that he was only
the Presidents shadow. Now this fcei.
Ing Is largely wearing away. IL never
was entertained by men wh) knew the
facts, who knew Taft himself, Nhd
we've familiar with the strength OF hia
character, his independence of mind.
I'ut the men who did entertain 1t are
beginning to perceive that he Is his
own man and a strong one 1t that.
Tho more speeches Taft makes, the
more frankly and plainly he talks, the
less will there be Of this mistaken no
tim that he is overshadowed by m.
other. Taft's frank talk on the la,oI
ard injunction questions and his riain,
blunt denial Of tho foolish story that
he once said 81 a day was wages
enough for a working man, has done
him moro good than his more labored
and pr~etentious efforts.
Judge Taft's friends argue mat to
some extent he has been a mlsunlcn
stood man, and they want him to take
the stump to show the country what
be really is. They would like To have
tie masses of the people look upon him
IN the same way as he LIS looked upon
by residents OF this city, where he Is
81 well known. Ask any man of The
p~ational capital, be he Republican on
Democrat, what he thinks o. judge
Taft, and he will tell you that TAFT
is enc of the biggest, strongest, finest
characters we have ever had In public
life. This is my w opinion. and fof
twenty years l have known and watch
ed most of the important men of Con-
gress and Of the government OF both
parties. I am not a hero worshiper,
nor a partisan. But Taft has Impressed
me, az he impresses every n whs
really gets to know him, as the Arrest
ty pc of man this country produces, anf
better fitted by temperament ana train
Ing and experience for the diificui,
task Of the presidency than any rnaa
we have had In that office for many
years. This friends and admirers Of

country should Know the man % ne

tlank the best way to bring that aLous
