BRIDAL TRAINS AND Wells.
Princess and Empire Models Most in
Favor This year.

Very long and full and extremely
graceful is the wedding train of the
present year. The princess and en-
pire models are about equally in favor
Just now, while court trains, separate
from the dress itself and Calling grace
fully from the shoulder, uiS seen once
more on many of the handsomest
bridal gowns. Rich ivory satin is al
ways preferred by the conventional
bride, but white embroidered panne or
chiffon velvet with a court train of
satin is beautiful, trimmed with lace
and worn with a long lace veil.
A soft satin silk may be more be-
coming than heavy satin, in which
case the train may be of heavy satin
or brocade. A hat bordered with a
deep band of lace gives much the
same effect as a lace veil and is pre-.
ferred by many as being more possible
to arrange b~ecomingly. If the flat
arrangement of the veil on the hair
that is so much in vogue at present is
not becoming, a wreath or cluster Of
orange blossoms will give the zee
sary height if placed like a coronet
or tiara in the hair.
The average bride would as 500
dispense with the Lohengrin or Men
delssohn marches as she would be
married without a spray Of orange
blossoms ON her gown or in her bou-
quet. Unfortunately, the natural
orange flower is too perishable to even
form a bouquet, but real flowers can
be combined with the artificial variety
for trimming on the gown or veil and
can help to make up an attractive
bouquet with lilies of the valley, gar
denias, orchids or whatever white
flower is carried. Care must be taken
that orange blossoms are purchased.
not lemon flowers, which look so near
ly the same and which grow so much
more l%uxuriantly and are, consequent.
ly, far less expensive.

Economv in Home Trade.

In an address made some years ago
before congress the late Thomas B.
Reed said: which Is 1t better for
the farmer to do-send his supplies a
thousand miles to the ~seacosst, 5000
miles across the water and sell 1t to
the mechanic who gets less wages, or
sell 1t right here ct home to the me-
chanic who gets more wages?" Reeds
logic Is sound, but he might have gone
a little further, and shown the farmer
how important 1t is to have the home
market right at his door; how by the
building up Of the commercial and
manufacturing Importance of his
home town, he widens the market for
his products, and that the liyelier
and better the home place can he
made, the better will be the prices he
will receive for his products.

NO CHARGE TO HEAR BRYAN
Erroneous Impression Abroad That
Admission is to be Charged
to Hear Mr.. Bryan.

In distributing the advertising
matter over the state concerning the
presence of William j. Bryan in
Mitchell or the first day of the corn
palace, September %, the impress
sion seems to have gone out that
Mr.. Bryan will speak in the corr
palace building and that it will cost
so cents to hear him deliver o politi-
cal address.
There is nothing further from the
mind of MI. Bryan or that OF the
corn palace committee. There will
be absolutely no charge for hearing
the address Of Mr.. Bryan, and hts
speech will be delivered in tho open
air Monday afternoon. The stand
will be located at the Omaha depot.
about a block and a half from the
corn palace building.
1t is to be hoped that this wrong
impression will be corrected, for 1t
is an injustice to Mr.. Bryan as we'll
as to the corn palace committee, who
never had the least idea Of the i'm
preston gained any credence that
it would cost money to hear the DEM
ocratic leader.
Mr.. Bryan speaks in Milwaukee on
Saturday, September &c, and he
leaves that point on Saturday night
at midnight, arriving at st. Paul
Sunday morning. He will spend the
day in the Twin Cities and leaving
on the Omaha passenger in the even
ing will arrive in Mitchell Monday
morning at 9:45 O'clock. While in
the city he will be the guest OF May
or and Mrs. A. E. Hitchcock.
1t has not been definitely decided
at just what hour Mr.. Bryan will
speak, but he will be here in plenty
of time to give his address SO that
every visitor to Mitchell will have
the opportunity to hear him.

an editorial in the Sioux City News

Ness got right to work on the corn
palace boosting just as 500 as he
reached Sioux City and he got next
to the newspaper man to inspire him
with a little of the great amount Of
enthusiasm with which he is always
loaded when he starts out to do
something for Mitchell. The editorial
comments Of the News is as follows:
Mitchell, S. D., is soon to give an
other corn palace festival.
Lawrence Ness, a former Sioux
City man is engaged in boosting the
festival.
But there are other reasons why
Sioux City should take an interest
in Mitchell's annual celebration.
eff you should visit Mitchell now
and should stand around hotel lob
bies and cigar stores, you would find
that the baseball fans of that section
are betting that Sioux City will win
the western league pennant.
Her business men are betting
that Sioux City jobbers can give them
the best bargains.
"And people who travel r betting
that the interstate live stock fair is
the place for them to come for an
outing.

ace idea from Sioux City, but Sioux
City is not jealous. Sioux City hopes
that Mitchell will have a fine time
this year, as usual.
cit would be a fine thing if the
merchants of Sioux City should at
once begin to arrange for a special
train to visit the Mitchell corr pal
ace. A large number of citizens
ought to make the trip. 1t would
be a good way to show u friendli-
ness for the coming Dakota city and
incidentally a good way to diffuse
some of Sioux City's enthusiasm,
born of prosperity"

TAFT COMES TO MITCHELL
Republican Presidential Candidate
Will Come to Mitchell One Day
OF Corn Palace.

The republican leaders and the
corn palace committee We're in a
state of estate joy Tuesday when
a telegram was received by George
A. Silsby announcing that Judge
William Taft, the republican candid
ate for president Of the United States
would come to Mitchell.
The telegram vas sent to Mr.. Sils-
by by Hon. Joseph NJ. Dixon, of Chi
cago, chairman of the speakers bu-
reau of the west, and contained the
following statement:
I'VE are going to give you
Taft; am arranging itinerary to-
night; hope to be able to fix the
definite day within twenty four
hours"
When MI. Silsby and Chairman
Cook left Chicago at the time they
attempted to secure Judge Taft there
did o seem to be any possibility
of getting the leader, but later
it has been determined to send him
through the west, and the Mitchell
delegation was remembered when it
came to making up his itinerary.
The committee expressed a prefer
ence for Mr.. Taft to come to Mitchell
on Saturday, the closing day of the
palace, and they are hoping that this
date will be given to Mitchell.
With the presence of Mr.. Bryan
in Mitchell for the opening day Of
the corn palace and Judge Taft for
the last day, with the very strong
possibility that MI. Chaplin, the pro-
hibition presidential candidate, will
come about Wednesday,, it seems
that there will be some crowds in
Mitchell all the week.
The presence of Mr.. Taft is a big
stroke for the republican party of
the state and the thousands of peo-
pie who will be in Mitchell on that
day will be glad of the opportunity
to see the presidential nominee.

The contest is started with the
view of creating interest in the com
ing event and to provide for a grand

most interesting one. characterized
subject in following the teaching of
the Master. In his experience he
had found man slow to follow the
teachings of Christ, and it was equal
ly true in the physical realm. while
the spirit realm found no greater
following, where he believed the
people were obtuse in perceiving the
truth and getting into harmony with
it. He held that life and truth
should be in the best harmony for
the influence that one has on his fell
low man, and on this line of thought
he presented some interesting illus
trations. His thought throughout
the sermon surrounded the uplift of
man and woman, to have the truth
in their hearts SO strongly that their
contact with other persons could not
! help but reflect the good, and thus,
unconsciously, have a higher influence
DR.. Kerfoot's illustrations were
vivid and so applicable to his
thought that his words and ideas are
retained for future consideration.
He is an interesting speaker and pre-
