Mitchell Corn Belt Association


On September 9th the Mitchell
Corn palace will again throw open
its doors, and the marvelously
beautiful structure will be dedi-
Gated to King Corn and all his
satellites-all the grains and
grasses-that add to the great
agricultural wealth of South
Dakota.
No annual event is of such vast
Importance to the state: for here
is assembled, in rich profusion,
the various products of our pro-
ductive soil, evidencing to the
world at large its great fertility
and the glorious possibilities for
additional husbandmen to ''come
in and sup with u.s..
The Corn Palace itself is q mar
vel of beauty, and it is decorated
within and without, with native
products of the soil, corn being
the chief article used. To the as
sembled thousands it is truly a
revelation, and its ornate beauty
appeals to the masses. Add TO
this the stellar attractractions
supplied by the United States
Marine Band of Washington, D.
c., and the numerous high-class
vaudeville acts by 4 corps of
famous artists, and the Corn
Palace at once becomes "a thing
of beauty and a JOY for ever.''
The railroads recognize the
great Importance and deep signid-
cance of this annual exhibition,
and run numerous excursion trains
at half fare, q lower rate than ever
given any similar enterprise.
More than fifteen county exhibitl
will attest the prodigality d

intelligent efforts of the husband,

Marvin hughitt Optimistic

While in New YORK paying a
last tribute to the memory of his
friend. the late r. III. Harrison.
President Marvin Hughitt of the
Chicago 4 North Western railway
company, in an interview. spoke
|of the excellent conditions now
prevailing in the west and north
west and how the future furnished
an unobscured view of general
prosperity.
THE railroad world. and natur
ally my observations refer more
particularly to the Chicago 4
North Western, is entertaining a
period of activity which is merely
reflection of what is now taking
place in the commercial. industrial
and agricultural spheres of activi-
ty," MIR. Hughitt said. 'As far
as our lines are concerned. we
continue to adhere to a policy that
means that improvements must be
kept up. regardless of what may
transpire. The Chicago 4 North
Western is now directly operating
1854 miles of road. Our equip
ment consists of 81, 900 cars ard
every car is tit and fully equal to
it's task.
Extensions are continued in
South Dakota and other states and
in a northwesterly direction from
Milwaukee. Relative to the SER
vice as q whole, l find that the in
PRODUCTION Of the telephone as a
means of dispatching has proved
of immense value. We are con-
tinually increasing in this direc-
ton, and as We may he considered
pioneers it, this matter we shall
also take advantage of whatever
new feature Of telephoning that
may come up.
The further upbuilding of the
territory through which our lines
pass is now merely matter of
progression from condition of
excellency to a condition which
promises even better. The west
is wonderful in it's responsiveness
to the energies of man. The ele-
ment which has settled in those
regions makes push and persever-
ance it's prime movers. In every
way the country can look to that
section for encouragement and
strength.
The Chicago & North " estern
has just issued it's fiftieth annual
report. Its half century history
must be found in the reports as
they have been issued from year
to year. Performance is always
tho only means of determining
what has been accomplished. We
shall continue in our even way,
conservatively keeping abreast of
the times. and doing our best for
the large property that is in our
charge"

about forty being present who
were interested in artesian wells.
County Surveyor K. II. Townsend
of Fort Pierre was out and spoke
at the meeting giving some definite
figures to work on. Mr.. Town
send was out primarily to locate
several wells where they would
afford the most good to the great
est number, but as it was decided
to ascertain our altitude and see
whether or not we could get an
artesian well, before having them
located. Mr.. Townsend did not
DO any work. 1t was also de-
cided if our altitude was such that
we could get flow, to petition
the township board to call an cleo
ton to bond the township to buy
an artesian well outfit as this plan:
to have the township buy the ma
chine, hire an expert, and loan the
machine to residents of the town
ship. who would pay the experts
hire and furnish their own casing;
was the one the majority favored.

On Monday morning local
authorities were notified tha. a
suspicious looking character had
boarded the freight at Capa on his
way out here. Deputy Calhoun
and Constable Hilgert were in
readiness on the arrival of the
train. But the stranger alighted
on the other side Of the train and
made a fast line for the bushes
near the river. He was at once
hotly pursued and overtaken and
10 when confronted by the officers
his identity was at once established
as Wood the fellow who until two
months ago conducted the tin can
restaurant, and who stabbed his
wife in an argument over the non
essentially of corsets, for which
he was sentenced to do penance in
the county bastile, and had just
been released and he took this
method of avoiding a demonstra-
ton upon his temperance here.
He was allowed to go unmolested.

reading. From these figures it ap-
pears that, taxable wealth and popula-
ton considered, Florida is already far
in the lead of the most liberal of her
sister Southern States in pension ap-
preparations, and yet there is an insis-
tent cry for more, from some quarters.
The Savannah News groups the facts
and figures from the governors mes
sage as follows:
In proportion to her wealth and
population Florida pays more in pen
siOns than any other State, the amount
being $3.50, 1851, and it is estimated
that she will pay her pensioners in 1910
$3.50, 1000. This is pretty heavy pen
sion charge when the fact is taken into
consideration that her entire taxable
wealth is only Sl59, 1903, 2SO. South
Carolina apprOpriates for her pension
ers $252, 1880; Tennessee, $875, 900;
Texas, 100000; Alabama, $778,961,
and Georgia, for the year 1907, $685.

pensioners more than twice per capita
the amount paid by any other State"

The public sentiment which condemns
the young loafer and withholds from
him the respect and esteem Of the com

That is shocking and distressing news
from Washington that John La FOntisee
lies dead by his own act in that city.
Personally known to nearly every news
paper man in Florida, he was the friend
of them all, and was, himself, among
the best and brightest of the tribe. In
the prime of young manhood, happily
married, holding an excellent position
in the government service in Washing
ton, fettered by no bad habits, strong,
reSOlute and cheerful and with troops
of friends, it is hard to conceive the
motive that prompted him to leave all
these and take the dread leap into the
darkness Of death. He was for sever
al weeks on the Daily Democrat in this
city, when it was first established a few
years ago, and was heartily liked and
respected for his sterling qualities by
all who met him. He was one of the
best all-rOund newspaper men in Flor
ida, of metropolitan type as a news
gatherer, and in his social relations
he was pleasant and unaffected gen
tleman. His death will be deeply re-
GREETED in all parts of the State.

The prohibitioniSts feel secure in their
strength, and do not intend to leopard
ize their cause by the passage of a law
that may be declared worthless by the
supreme court. They feel sure of the
adoption Of the joint resolution propO-
sing an amendment to the constitution
to destroy the liquor traffic, root and
branch, in Florida, and they feel equal
ly sure that that amendment will be
ratified by the people when submitted
to them. For these reasons they are
doubtless willing to wait little longer
for certainty rather than rush through
a bill to take effect at an early date,
which will surely be held up by injunc-
ton and perhaps declared invalid by
the courts. A great reform can afford
