CORN PALACE NEXT WEEK,

With the opening of the Corn Palace
on Monday, September 2Sth, King
korn's Carnival will be ushered in
with all the pomp and glory befitting
the occasion. The beauty of the Pal
ace this year far surpasses all former
Palaces. The different varieties and
colors OF corn, planted especially for
this purpose, developed fine this sea-
son and the beautiful designs and shad-
ings Col. Robe has been able to work
out are simply marvellous. The grains
and grasses used heretofore ON the
exterior decoration have been eliminat-
ed this year and a solid decoration of
corn used.
No less than three presidential can.
didates will honor the festival with
their presence. w. j. Bryan will visit
the Palace on Monday, September %,
and on two o'clock that afternoon will
speak to the people in the open air
from a temporary platform arranged
for that purpose.
On September 20, w. H. Taft, the
republican candidate will visit the pal
ace and in the afternoon will address
the people from the same platform as
Mr.. Bryan used the day previous.
Mr.. E. w. Chain, the prohibition
candidate, will address the people at
the Palace Thursday, October /. Thus
visitors to the Corn Palace will have
an opportunity to see and hear three
presidential candidates in the open air
without charge for the privilege.
Special train service has been ar
ranged on all roads and for particulars
see the flyers or call on the local
agent. One fare for the round trip
has been granted from all points In
the state.

CAN'T BE
Some B~rookinas People Have Learned
How to Get Rid of Both

Backache and kidney ache are twin
brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the backache
until you cure the kidney ache.
If the kidneys are we'll and strong,
the rest of the system is pretty sure to
be in vigorous health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make strong,
healthy kidneys.
Henry Hopkins, retired farmer, ILL
nois Ave. and Second St, Huron, S. d.,
says: For a long time | suffered from
rheumatic pains in my limbs and a
steady aching in the small of my back.
My joints were so stiff and sore that
it was painful for me to move around.
My kidneys seemed sluggish I'm their
action and the secretions gave evil
dence that my kidneys were disorder
ed, as they were generally to frequent
in action and unnatural in appear
ences. Having read of many cures
that had been effected by the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills, / procured a box.
| an now glad to state that my back
and kidneys are now stronger than
they have been in years, the stiffness
in my joints has almost disappeared
and my kidneys give me no trouble
whatever. DOan's Kidney Pills i'm
proved my condition in every way and

A Paying investment.

Mr.. John White, OF 38 Highland Ave.
Houlton, Maine, says: Have been
troubled with a cough every winter
and spring. Last winter I tried many
advertised remedies, but the cough
continued until l bought a SOC bottle
of DR.. Kings New Discovery; before
that was half gone the cough was all
gone. This winter the same happy
result has followed; a few doses once
more banished the annual cough. I
am now convinced that DR.. Kings

The best example of real temper
ance reform we ever heard of comes
from Milbank, where 100 business men

ness would soon go a glimmering. 1t
is not drinking, but rather treating
that causes the need of so many bar

guard stationed over him to exact the
proof of the statement.

Preparing SILK for Surgery.

Nearly all the materials used by q
surgeon in sewing up wourds are
open to some objection. In a medical
weekly printed in Munich, several
methods of treating silk are described.
Thev have been recommended by an
Investigator named Wederlake. First
he extracts any oil or fat which may
be in the thread by soaking In ether.
then he sterilizes It by boiling in b.
chloride Of mercury. next he treats
it to q process which deposits silver
In the fibre. and finally he coats 1t
with a solution of indiarubber. That
particular product, he thinks, could
not undergo change from the absorp-
ton Of fluids or become infected. An
other OF his plans is to soak the
thread for between twenty seconds
and four minutes in sulphuric acid
and. after free washing with water,
to remove the moisture with alcohol
The silk Is then subjected to a hard
ening process by means of tannin
and absolute alcohol. This silk is
said to be as strong as untreated silk
and Is rendered flexible by treatment
with glycerine. It can be sterilized
by boiling In bichloride solution, and
when buried in the tissues 1t com
pletely disappears at the expiration
of from four to six weeks

Jack Boyd once, for a bet. rode for

The extreme end of the ribbon u

THE coUNTRY's. WEALTH.
The United States Worth One Huno.
red and Eighteen Billion Six
Hundred Million Dollars.

The United States is not only the
wealthiest country on the globe, bat
its lead over the other countries Is
increasing every day. AS estimated
by the census bureau, in report just
sent out, the wealth of the United
States was in 1904, in round figures,
s107, 100000, 200. This was an in
crease of $1S.600, 100000 over 1900.
During the four years ending with
1904 the country's wealth expanded
by a larger figure than its entire
wealth amounted to $4,000, 900 ,000)
in the year in which Lincoln was first
elected, 1860. Yet the United States
filled pretty big place on the map
even in 1860. In that year, more
over, the 100000 slaves were count
ed as merchandise, and entered into
this $16.O09,000,OO property valua-
ton. The best British estimates place
the wealth of the United Kingdom at
about $4,000, 100000 1t ranks next
to the United States in this respect,
but is far below this country. Ger
many and France are each few
billions below the United Kingdom.
On the basis of increase from June
80, 1900, to June 30, 1904, the wealth
Of the United States Is about $119,-
000,000,000 in these early weeks of
1907. The wealth of the United States
is much greater than the combined
wealth of the countries which hold
the second and third places on the
roll. And the gap between us and
them is steadily and rapidly broaden
ing. The increase is very much fast
er than in population. In the 107
years since 1900 while the popula-
ton of the United States has increas-
ed sixteen times, the wealth OF the
United States has been multiplied
119 times. This is one Of the mar
vels of American expansion.-Leslie's
Weekly.
