ed this year.
The people who ONE to the corn
palace this year will find in Ellery's
band a different musical organization
than has ever appeared on the great
stage in the building. This band
played last year in the Bismarck
summer garden on the north side
in Chicago, which several Mitchell
people heard. Every one of them
will agree in the statement that the
band is among the best they ever
heard and that the music produced
has a beautiful charm that a be
created by no other band. 1t is
more like a great orchestra, lacking
the blare OF many bands, and having
the sustaining qualities and power
that are necessary for the production
Of the very best in band and orches-
trail music. Mr.. Ellery prides him
self on the tonal qualities Of his
band, and he keeps that up TO the
highest standard by a rigid inspec-
ton of the members OF his band.
Consequently an organization of
great richness in music is asusrel'
for the corn palace this fall.
Standing out and above all else
are the benefits to be gained form
the exhibition. In the agricultural
department will be the display Of
grain from many counties of the
state. This is going to be something
Of a revelation to the people from
the east who will visit the corn pal
ace. The corn, wheat, oats, rye, bar
ley, and all kinds of vegetables which
will be in the various county dis
plays will act as silent witnesses
against the statements circulated ov-
er the east that South Dakota has
been a failure this year in the way
If agricultural products. 1t seems
like it takes oracular proof to car
ry conviction to the doubters SO far
as South Dakota is concerned. but
it will be at the corn palace in facts

Their doubling.
In the course Of a few days work
will be commenced in removing the
old decorations from the corn pail
ace building, and new designs will
be placed on the surface. Tie deco
ration of the building will start
shortly after the first of the month.
The corn palace is the last big
amusement even in the northwest,
and in previous years it has never
failed to draw immense crowds
through the entire week. In this
year it is not anticipated that there
will be any falling off, and it is pro-
posed by the management to give
the people the full worth of their
money this year above all years.
On the return Of Messrs. Welch
and Hitchcock next week full an
nouncement will be ready to be made
of the attractions secured for the in
terror of the palace and those for the
street.
