Superintendent ana Mrs. w. w.
Collins, Mr.. and Mrs. w. e. Cody
and Train Master Peterson came in
irom Mason City Sunday evening to
remain through the week of the corn
palace. They came in Superintend-
ent Collins private car. The party
inspected the building this morning
and Mrs. Collins expressed the idea
that it a. the best decorated build
ing he mas ever seen in Mitchell. The
superintendent regretted the bad
weather that started in with the
corr palace, but he said he felt con-
ident better weather would prevail
tomorrow and for the rest of the
week.
Sunday morning looked cold and
ominous for rain. 1t came, and a
good portion of the afternoon the
moisture came down slowly, but
enough to make the streets muddy,
enough to make the streets muddy,
and cast a little gloom over corn pal
ace hopes. The precipitation amounted
to but Is inches. This morning,
however, there was an entirely diff
ferent phase on the situation, when
the sun appeared through the clouds
and gave evidence of the return OF
the regular corn palace weather. With
the sun doing it's work properly it
will not be long before the streets
will be dry and everything will be
running smoothly for the rest of the
week.
The return of the University stu
dents together with the usual large
audience completely filled the Gale
theatre where the services of the
First Methodist Episcopal Church are
being held while the new pipe organ
is being installed and the decorations
are going on. The pastor, DR.. Hoag-
land, preached the sermon, prefac-
;ng his address by a few words OF
welcome to the new people. The
program of music at both services
was fine, the choir has been enlarg-
ed bv the addition of new members
and the work under the direction Of
Prof. Hobson was most satisfactory
Sunday. Several new members unit
ed with the church. 1t was announc-
ed that the mid-week prayer service
would be with the Baptist people in
the l%atter's church on Wednesday ev-
aning.
The first couple to celebrate the
Corn Palace festiva1 by entering in
o matrimony appeared at the Bap-
list parsonage on Saturday evening.
These young people were Eugene M.
FLANDERS and Anna M. Nourse, and
N the presence of the PASTORS fam
:ly they were united in marriage by
Rev. e. M. Jeffers, who used the
beautiful ring service of the Bap-
fist church. These are both we'll
'Snown young people in Mitchell and
hey VIII receive the hearty congratu-
lations of their many friends as they
start life together. Mrs. Flanders
has been employed at the grocery Of
G. A. Vermilyea, where she rendered
,f1icient service, while Mr.. Elan
iers now holds a good position with
he Milwaukee railway. The happy
couple will take up their residence
on the south side.
