up IN The GALLERY

An Industrial Display of Merchants
is Set Forth in the Gallery Of
the Corn Palace.
What has heretofore been given
over to the ladies to decorate in a
manner most artistic-the gallery of
the corn PALACES now utilized for
the display of an industrial character,
this idea having been instituted last
year and 1t was found to be a uc-
cessful portion Of the corn palace.
Where one was wont to see the
beautiful selections OF millinery
adornments made Of corn husks dyed
in brilliant colors and used for hat
decorations; pampas grass heads
woven into pretty ideas for further
adornment; grains Of corn used In
numberless ways for identifying var
ious kinds of objects: where the scene
of the early settlers was worked out
with house. barn. granary. wagon.
horses. buggies, ETC.. the New Eng
land kitchen with its comforting ap-
~pearance: the popcorn booth In all
Its radiant whiteness; the winter
scene; large works of art done in
many different ways by the use of
grasses and grain; all these are now
displaced by a different form in
order to please the people. There is
one booth, however, devoted to the
work of woman, and it carries one
back to the time when the ladies OF
the city for weeks at a time spent
hours in arranging something at
tractive for their department of the
gallery.
More to give the ladies a rest from
the great labor than that their work
was not appreciated was the change
made and the gallery given yer to
the business mar to display his wares
During the intermission of the con-
certs given by the United States
time between viewing the agricul-
the industrial display in the gallery
AS you go up the west side stair
way the visitor is greeted with the
exhibit of the Mitchell schools, and
any person who has a child in school
pauses quite a little while to view
the work of the young people as it is
set forth from their daily labors. The
map work stands out prominently
in colors and denotes much artistic
effort, while the paper cutting de-
signs indicate progress in that class.
There are many samples of these two
classes of work. Penmanhip Is we'll
displayed, and penwork is also shown
in the numerous drawings of varied
character. Examination papers are
shown for their neatness. A sec
tion Of the library is displayed. On
the walls hang the pictures of the
athletic young men and the trophies
are there to indicate that they have
been successful in the cultivation of
physical as we'll as the mental sides
of their nature.
Haley & Lang, the wholesale fruit
merchants, Utilize all their space with
a very generous display of their
wares. The business in Mitchell is
under the management of b. M.
CLANCY, and since the establishment
has been taken yer by this firm Mr..
CLANCY has been successful in greatly
increasing the trade territory and
bringing the business of the firm in
. greater prominence. The firm
deals generally in fruit during the
season, and it is recognized as one
of the heavy shippers into this coun-
try. In the display is shown samples
of their fruits, which appear luscious
candies, cigars, and many of the
choicest kind of canned fruits. Visit
ors are attracted to the display by its
neatness and variety.
The colonial booth makes a very
handsome setting for the exhibit OF
the Turner Produce Co., and while
their line of goods is not particularly
for display the firm indicates what
they have for sale in their immense
factory located down on the Milwau-
kee tracks to the west of the depot,
Purity is one of the cardinal virtues
of the Turner Produce Co., and 1t Is
practiced with great care in their
every department. Packages to show
their method of handling their choice
lcreamery butter are shown, while fir
kens Of real butter are shown. A
niche of the exhibit is devoted te
showing how they handle their dress
ed poultry and 1t is indeed tempting
to look at. Then also the firm shows
how they handle their milk for the
city customers, emphasizing theil
motto of cleanliness. They also ad'
vertise their ice cream, which FOL
purity. excellent taste and fine wa!
in making it is not surpassed by any
factory.
Next comes the ladies art bootl
that is very attractive to the lady Wis
itors in the palace. Attached to thu
walls are many very dainty and beau
tiful pieces Of needle work. which arr
contributed by many ladies of tn,
city, such as lunch clothes, handker
chiefs. doilies. etc.. to which 10 adde,
many different designs Of sofa pillow
for the cosy corner or davenport. I
is an exhibit worthy Of close inspec
ton and there is always a cluster o
ladies around it giving forth var
ious expressions on the beauty of tn
work there displayed. The thanks o
