When MitchelPs Corn Palace closed
Saturday evening it ended what can be
termed one of the best successes ever
achieved by the management Of the pal
ace and the popularity of the enterprise
was tested to the limit during the week.
Three weeks before the palace opened
there was little apprehension on the
part Of the management as to the possi-
bic financial outcome because Of the
drouth which prevailed during portion
of the summer, which many thought
would have a bad effect on the attend
ance, and there was little opportunity to
cut down the expenses without impair
ing the standard of the Corn Palace at
fractions. With the first two days be-
ing cloudy and threatening, with rain
on Thursday morning early, and the
moisture falling heavily all day Satur-
day, it was the poorest week of weather
the corn palace ever had. In spite of
that thousands of people came to Nit
chell and the big enterprise turned out
fine financial success, leaving a good
nest egg for next years palace. Despite
the all day rain Saturday the receipts
were nearly 81, ,000.-Sioux Falls Argus

the western farms because of the defeat
of reciprocity, as now claimed in South

South Dakota has some interest in the
protective tariff which it did not realize
when it was so stoutly demandinga a deep
tariff cut, and denouncing the Payne
tariff law for not cutting deep enough.
The reciprocity fight was an object les
son which is likely to make some of the
western states less noisy in their demand
