cup the usual attention of the statt
and of the northwestern the attend
ance at this big exposition Is not con
fined to the boundaries OF the state.
One Of the big features of the pal
ace and what will attract particular
attention this season is the agricul,
tural exhibits. Twelve counties have
made application for space this year
and the promoters of the exhibits are
glad indeed to get the opportunity to
display their products before the vast
crowd of fasteners who are sure to
be here. Hundreds and hundreds of
people in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin
and Minnesta defer their fall visit
to South Dakota until the week of the
corn palace, for the reason that they
thus have the best opportunity to
see what the state has done in an
agricultural line this yea
Prizes will be awarded to the coun-
ty making the best exhibit. The
first prize is $3.50, second $500, and
third SIS. Each county making an
exhibit, however. will be given a
prize of s35, which partially pays for
the work Of bringing the exhibit to
the palace, and they can have the
al, dntage of advertising their special
county.
The outside of the building, which
is now undergoing the new decora-
lions, is going to far exceed anything
in the line of beauty which has made
the exterior a wonder and revelation
in corn. The designs that are being
wrought out in corn are of an Indian
character, which are taken from the
old historic race, and these offer
something entirely different than has
ever before been displayed on the x
terror Of the structure.
For the opening day the presence
of James J.. Hill, head of the Great
Northern railroad, of st. Paul, has
been secured, and he will deliver an
address during the afternoon. Mr..
Hill has never before spoke in this
state and there are thousands who
will be glad to hear this gentleman
deliver an address On a subject that
is uppermost in the minds of the peo-
pie.
The attractions are all of a charac-
ter which can be presented to the pub
lie, with the full idea that they will
meet public approval. They were Sc
lected with care and with the full as
surance that they would be first class
in every particular.
Pat Conway's band of f~orty-five
pieces stands unrivalled in the band

way is perfectly willing to have his
band compared with any organization
Of the world. He is a director of re-
nown, and comes into the middle west
for the first time with a reputation
that extends from coast to coast. His
band plays the music that the pub
lie loves to hear, and there is ground
for, anticipating a grand musical treat
from this organization. The band
comes direct from Atlantic City, N. j.,
where It has been playing all sum-
mer to fill the corn palace engage
