REMAINS IDENTIFIED.
Melvin Hilton, Aged Prospector, Frozen
In Snow at Red Cliff, Colo.

Red Cliff. Colo, Dec. 22.-The body
Of the aged prospector who was found
frozen to death about a week ago, six
miles from Red Cliff, has been idcnti-
fed. it was announced today, as that
of Melvin kilton of Bedford, y. Il.
Kitten was at first supposed TO be r.
G. Wright of Maine, but letter from
his son in Manchester, y. H, showed
the man TO be kilton.
Hilton disappeared from home in the
East Nov. 3 and an unavailing search
for him had been made over the coun-
try. Coroner Dilpin has wired the au-
thorities at Manchester, informing
them of the Identification. The body
probably viii be shipped East. Mr..
kiiton, who was IS years old, was on
lis way to California to visit a brother
when he disappeared. 1t is thought
he got of the train at Red Cliff and
either with the idea of doing some
prospecting or because he had become
temporarily unbalanced, wandered off
into the timber and persisted in the re-
cent blizzard. Coyotes had devoured
his face. making identification difficult.

tese left the Royal palace and slowly
moved to the cathedral. the downpour
ceased, the gale died away and there
remained such q dull gray morning

impressive as a spectacle. however,
was the scene at the cathedral of st
Michael and St Gudule, that masniti-
cent Gothic pile which from the city's
eminence dominates the many architec-
tural beauties of ancient Brussels. Here
in its interior all that the hand of man
could fashion to emphasize the regal
rites had been done.
In the body of the church We're
grouped foreign princes diplomats, del
egations and government officials.

and civic guard in full uniform, fol-
lowed by the Judges in their scarlet

cross was followed by the rich robed
cardinal, MERCER, the archbishop OF

brated by the cardinal followed by the
rites of absolution performed over the

MITCHELL HAS CORN SHOW
New Features Prepared for Annual
Crop Exposition.
RESOURCES OF STATE DISPLAYED

tive Novelties.
RESOURCES OF STATE DISPLAYED

MITCHELL, S. D., Sept 1S.-(Special.)-
In another week Mitchell's twelfth annual
corn palace will be on. II opens September
q and closes October 2. The corn palace
idea has become firmly rooted an South
Dakota as one Of the very best means for
advertising the resources OF the state, and
in the twelve that II has held IL has fully
demonstrated the idea. Previous to 1892
the crop products of South Dakota were
questioned to a considerable extent by
eastern people Ind the yields OF wheat
we're looked upon as more or less fictitious,
and they could not be convinced unless
they saw something of the returns from
the fields. This was afforded in the corn
palace, when some fifteen counties that
year exhibited their products to hundreds
of eastern visitors, who Hooded the state
that fall and had the satisfaction Of abso-
lutely knowing that the state was not put
ting up a bluff. The palace was held again
in 1923, and then came the succession Of
years when the crops were short and the
times were hard, and IL suspended opera
lions for seven years. In 1909 the corn
palace was resumed and since then 1t has
been a big factor Is disseminating the gos-
pei OF good crops throughout the country.
Since 1895 there has not been a failure
Of crops in South Dakota, and since that

for decorative purposes, and this is a
unique way of displaying the corn in
figures and designs that are intricate and
Weirdly beautiful. There are seven towers
on the building, most all of which ascend
from the ground, and these are decorated
with a solid mass of corn. Beautiful
shading effects are obtained by using diff
ferent colored corn, starting with the vel
low and graduating into the deep red
from the various hues Of the bloody
butcher variety. The corn is gathered be-
fore it has become hard and is sawed
l~engthwise, making flat surfaces, and in
this way it can be nailed to the building,
while buttons are made by saving it cross
wise, and these are used in hundreds Of
places to heighten the effect of the work.
The figures that are made from the corn
comprise Arabesques, Greclan and oriental
designs, ovals, diamonds, squares, bands.
fraternity emblems, etc, in which the
white the red. the yellow, notified and
squaw corn is used with ever varying
beauty. 1t takes about 1000 bushels Of
corn to cover the two sides Of the build
ing and what is used for interior decora-
lions. To see this building covered with
corn is indeed a grand sight and eastern
people who have viewed it from year to
IT.. Each year the corn is removed and
new decorations take, the place of the old.
The expense is borne entirely by the BUSH
ness men Of this city, who create a fund
Of 5000 each year to put the enterprise
in condition for beginning business.

Twenty COuntie Take Part.
This year no less than twenty counties
will make a display Of their products, and
which will be ssen by thousands and
thousands Of people from all sections Of
the United States. Large prizes will be
paid to the three counties winning the
prizes.
The matter Of amusement is not lost
sight OF in the corn palace. This year the
management was able to make a contract
for the appearance OF the United States
Marine band, bringing sixty Of the enlisted
musicians under the direction OF Lieuten-
ant Santelmann. The expense OF securing
the band for the entire week is S., 800, and
II is the greatest amount OF money ever
expended by the committee for a band,
and some of the best In the country have
been heard In the palace, notable among
which are John Phillip Sousa, who played
