PUBLICITY GETTER
IS CORN PALACE
TRAVELLING CORRESPONDENT OF
SHOW WORLD REARDs CORN
PALACE AS BIG ADVERTIS-
ING FEATURE.

F. A. Stewart, the travelling cores

a session paper, spent a day at the
corn palace, and was greatly impress

art is gathering material from the
fairs and expositions in the north
west for a writeup in the Show World,
a paper that devotes its publication
TO boosting these enterprises. AS a
publicity getter MI. Stewart said he
regarded the corn palace as the best
thing he has seen yet in all his trav-
els, and these include newspaper
trips to four different foreign coun-
tries. In conversation with Mr..
Stewart concerning his impressions of
the corn palace he said:
"For those that have Travelled in
far off foreign lands and studied the
different styles of architecture in
those lands they cannot help but
fancy themselves in Turkey, Bulga-
ria or Armenia when looking upon
your grand corr palace.
when l alighted from the North
western train yesterday morning the
first thing to strike my gaze was the
palace and it not only brought a Wis
ion of far off Turkey before me but
recalled boyhood days when I was 60
ing to school. l can remember often
looking in my geography at the beau
tiful picture of the corn palace and
had to stretch my Imagination to
some extent to realize that the beau
tiful designs were made from corn.

"You have in your corn palace the
greatest publicity getter of any city
of this size in the country. 1t has
done more to advertise Mitchell than
any possible thing that 1 can con-
ceive and has brought you a better
class of citizens and farmers, not say

it does for your fair state of South

myself who think that corn is only

POSTAL BANKS WILL
SOON Be OPENED
FINAL DETAILS ARE NEaRT,y ALI,
WORKED OUT-NO BANK
BOOKS ARE TO BE
USED.

Washington. D. president Taft
ana his Cabinet discussed the final
plans for the establishment of postal
savings banks. Postmaster General
hitchcock Is chairman of the board Of
trustees of the postal savings bank
system and the complete plans as
drafted by the committee of postal ex-
perts which has been at work all
summer We're taken by him to the
White House.
After the President has examined
and approved the report but little will
remain in the way of putting the S
tenn in operation.
This report embodies recommends
ton upon every feature Of the sys-
tenn, including the form and design
of deposit cards for deposits of less
than a dollar, certificates for higher
amounts, the design of deposit and
postage stamps to be used, the meth
DDS of accounting, the amount and
forms of tie bonds, and also a list
of the Offices where the new postal
savings banks shall be first estab-
lished. Ahe only delay to putting
the system into operation after the
Presidents approval will be that caus-
ed by the printing of supplies and
their transmission to the offices to
be designated as banking Offices.
Under the plans proposed by the
committee no hank books are to be
used. For deposits of less than a
dollar stamps will be attached to spe-
cially prepared cards bearing the
name and serial number of the de-
positor and the name and serial num-
Der of the Office. For deposits in
amounts of more than 81 certificates
will designate the depositor and the
place where the deposit is made.
These certificates later on many be
exchanged for interest bearing bonds.
Postal deposits will bear interest
at the rate of 2 per cent a year, pay
able once a year, except upon depos-
its of less than 81. Under the law
the balance to the credit of any n
person shall never exceed $500, ex-
elusive of accumulated interest. De-
positors may withdraw the whole or
any part of their fund, with accrued
interest, upon demand.
The law requires tnat surplus pos
tai savings funds shall be deposited in
solvent national or state banks, sub
ject to national or state supervis-
ion, and that they shall bear inter-
est at the rate of IN per cent a year.
Under the law the word 'bank,' in
cludes savings banks and trust COM
panies doing a banking business.

PETITION AGAINST
INCREASING RATES
STEPS TO PROTECT THE
FARMERS FROM HIGHER
FREIGHT RATES.

Flandreau, S. D.-George Rice, Of
the South Dakota board of railroad
commissioners, today made public a
copy of the petition filed by that body
with the interstate commerce COM
mission to prevent an increase in
freight rates on grain produced by
South Dakota farmers. Attached to
the report are three table comparing
grain rates to South Dakota points
with grain rates to North Dakota
points the same distance from mar
ket. These tables show the South Da-
kota rates to be as much as SO per
cent higher than similar rates to
North Dakota, without considering the
proposed rate increase of one to three
cents.
Following is a portion of the COM
missioner's complaint:
That each of the increases in rates
above mentioned is. and the increas-
ed rates which result therefrom when
made effective as aforesaid will be err
c~essive, unreasonable and unjust, and
subject the producers Of and dealers
in grain in South Dakota to an I'M
due and unreasonable prejudice and
disadvantage in violation of the pro-
visions Of the cat to regulate COM
merce.
THAT the defendant railroad COM
panies under and by virtue of traffic
agreements between themselves and
their connecting carriers are engaged
in transporting grain of all kinds, in
Guiding flax seed, millet see, wheat,
corn, rye, oats and barley from points
in the state of South Dakota to the
primary markets of Duluth, Minnea-
polls, Milwaukee and Chicago.
THAT the state of South Dakota
is almost wholly and entirely an ag-
ricultural state, wherein large guam
titles of flax seed, millet seed, wheat
and coarse grains, including corn, rye,
oats and barley, are raised in each
year, the estimated production Of fax,
wheat and coarse grains for the thir-
teen years prior to the year 1910 be-

SCHOOL N r
INVALID

Gregory, S. D.-After beginning
work on a new school building which
was planned to meet the needs of
the town for several years, work
has been suspended owing to an err
ror in the school organization which
is said to i%nvalidate the bonds.
The number of the district was
formerly 68, but was changed to 72,
When the bonds were issued the dis
trict was described as q and this has
prevented the contamination of the
sale of the bonds and, a new election
will probably be held to straighten
out the tangle.
The high school is supporting five
base ball teams, two debating teams
and is now planning to be rep
resented in the state o~ratorical con-
test at Vermillion. An effort is also
being made to get into the accredit-
ed list of high schools in the state,
and with fair chances of success.

CASES TO
Be DROPPED OUT
ATTORNEYS FAIL TO FILE Ar
STRACTS IN so DAYS AND
CASES WILL GO OFF
CALENDAR.

Pierre, s. D.-The opening of the
October term of the Supreme court
on the fourth of the present month
promises some lively skirmishing on
the part of a number Of attorneys
who have begun appeal procedure in
criminal cases. Under the law Of
1907, provisions were made for ap-
peals in criminal cases without go
ing to the supreme court for a certi-
acate of probable cause. Under the
provisions of that law the attorneys
in a number of criminal cases, or
conviction in the lower court, have
filed notice of appeal, provided q
bond, and then 'laid low" which
would allow their clients freedom
on bond for an indefinite time be-
fore the state would attempt to push
the case. Under the new rule of the
supreme court, attorneys in such ap-
peals are required to file their alb
stracts in the supreme court within
thirty days after taking the appeal.
In a dozen or more cases the alb
stracts have not been filed and the
cases have been allowed to drag,
which has resulted in Attorney Gen.
eral Clark securing from the court.
%returnable October 5th, orders to
show cause why the appeals should
not be dismissed. II the dismissals
should be secured the clients would
be out of court with the beginning
OF their sentence in the lower courts
up to them. The result Of these or
ders will likely be a list Of attorneys
in he court on the 9Th, each trying
to show the court some good and eff
fective reason why his client should
not be given another show.

PROGRESS FROM RADI.
CALISM.

New York Citu-Taft delivered
what is probably to be his only public
address of the present campaign, at
a banquet of the National Republican
league at the Hotel Astor Saturday.
The presidents speech was marked
by an unusually conciliatory tone
toward the insurgent wing Of the
party. He gave "all factions of the
party due credit for their having
helped put through congress the leg
isiative program, which the president
outlined in detail.
FOR the past eighteen months, he
declared it has been the earnest de-
sire Of the party to fulfill its platform
promises and obligations. He prom
Used that If the republican majority
In congress should be continued at
the coming election, the work thus
far left undone would be carried
through.
Upon the whole republican party
the president bestowed the title Of
progressive" and then undertook to
define what is meant by a progress
ive."
"a party true to progress is not .
party Of radicalism.', he declared
amid cheers.

And many strange things do hap
pen. But beginning with the gar
dener's story of his having arrived
there some years before Columbus,
the tale is put together, like all of
the Adams-Hough pieces, With self
confident crudity that could never
reach the stage in any other country
than this tolerant republic. The
characters the situations, the jokes
have all that queer echo of repartee
at junior reception, or of badinage
in street car coming from a park
on a summer night Still, the popu-
lace in general finds it entertaining.
Applause came frequently last night
from a Sunday audience unusually
large.
Henry Woodruff, as an impoverish-
ed Yale student employed to give
swimming lessons, and later as a
mythical prince in a strictly gorgeous
white uniform, will infatuate the ten
der heart not less promptly than he
ensnared it on the same boards a
few years ago in Brown of Har-
yard" Mr.. Woodruff, of course,
like Henry Dixey, is younger than
he was ten years ago. He &C
complishes this, as he explains pri-
vately, through sedulous avoidance
of unsteady and irregular drinking.
However that may be. he's a beauti-
full picture in his uniform. lovable
athlete in his bathing things. He
exudes a sentiment against which
few young women are as reinforced
concrete. And he'd sing better this
week-though vocal merit did not
give him reputation--if he hadn't
caught bad cold in a sleeping car.
Magnetic also, if in a less degree
is the prina donna, Miss Ruth
PEBBLES, endowed with a handsome
face eXpressively animated, and with
an agreea bic vcic0. Miss Viola Hop
kins, more familiar here, imparts a
role of Bonnie. John c. Leach, as a
jealous, hot-tempered husband, has
the sad burden of disclosing the prin-
cipal jokes; but he proves a genial
martyr and wins frequent hands"
The ponies" look pretty almost to
a girl. especially as bathing lassies
and Pierrots. IT'S nice to think that
the prettiest ones, perhaps, bear such
pretty names as Lillian Pleasant,
Devora Opp, Eula McClay and Cookie
Beck.

neapolis Livery Barn Fire.

Alfred Miller, for a number OF
years well known employee of the

timely death in fire in the Barder
livery barn, S07 9Th St., Minnea.
polls, early Monday morning. Par.
ticuars are given in the Minneapolis
journal, as follows:
Alfred Miller, "a years old, lost
his life early today in fire at the
Bardia livery stable, 807-S11 Sixth
street S. His body was rescued by
firemen
Forty valuable carriage horses
were taken from the burning build
ing, and saved, although about
twenty light buggies on the second
floor were damaged. The barn was
occupied by the A. d. T. company,
401 Nicollet avenue.
Miller was upstairs in the barn
when the fire started, about 4 a. m.
He was awakened by the dense
smoke and shouted downstairs to
Clifford j. Ryan, who was on watch
at the time. Ryan at once turned in
an alarm and went upstairs in res
ponse to Miller's cries for assistance.
When he reached the top of the
stairs he was met by clouds of smoke
and forced to retreat. Tying a wet
sack about his head he made another
attempt to save Miller's life. He
fought his way through the fire and
smoke but was forced to retreat be-
fore he could reach the room of the
unfortunate man.
Ryan half stumbled, half fell
downstairs and met the firemen.'
There's man upstairs! Get
him Quit" he said as he collapsed
On the sidewalk The firemen rush
ed upstairs, dashed through a wall
of flames and after some difficulty
lying.
They smashed the door down,
picked up the unconscious man and
took him downstairs. He died as he
was being carried across the street
to the city hospital. Death was
caused by suffocation.
While Miller was being taken from
the building, the firemen downstairs
were working heroically in the
smoke. Every horse in the building
was saved, blankets were fastened
around them and they were turned
loose. Then every hack was taken
out and pushed out of reach of the
fire.
The origin of the fire is a mys-
terry, but it Is thought that defective
wiring in the hay loft is responsible.
The fire was held almost entirely
to the second floor, in which was
stored the light rigs and hay. Off
cials of the A. d. T. were unable to
say just what their loss would be.
but it is thought it will approximate
$4,000. The remains were taken to
Cresco yesterday for interment.

Persistent Cheerfulness.

There is no habit better worth
cultivating than the habit of persist
ent cheerfulness. The trend of
modern medicine is to prevent dis
eases quite as much as to cure them,
and for many of the ills that flesh
is heir to there is no preventative
so efficacious as a laugh! Good
health ususally travels hand in hand
with keen sense of humor as it's
boon companion. Conversely, dys-
pepsia and melancholia generally
seem to move in each others Iugu-
brious society.-Ackley World.

"The House of Thousand Candles

1.-THE House of Thousand Candles"
1t is said that six property men
are required to work the effects in
the third act of "The House of a
Thousand Candles" the attraction at
the Grand on Friday night, Jan 18th.
During the action of this act, the
audience can hear the distant muir
muir of storm, every once in while
see a flash of lightning and hear
yells of the sheriff's mob trying to
gain entrance into Glenarm estate.
The scene is said to be one of the
most realistic ever presented on the
stage, and came in for a great deal
of favorable comment during the
New York and Chicago engagements
of the play.
