w. E. Fonken of Hcrmost is in
the city looking after property in
terests and other business matters
here.
c. G. Rathbun, IA prominent sroc-
cry merchant OF the city has return
ed to his home here following IA visit
OF nearly a year IN California.
City Auditt Jensen announess that
several bids have been received re-
garding the new deep we'll for the
city but h a none of them have as
yet made "A favorable proposition to
the city. The matter will probably
be adjusted in the neal future.
1T is evident that there will be
a great deal of activity among local
hunters tom now or as the open
season begins a week from next
tuesday. Reports from around
White Lake state that prairie chick
ems are there in abundance this year.
III Is expected that it will be hard
shooting this fall on account of the
unusually luxuriant vegetation, in
which the birds may hide.
S. Il. Morris and son Row. who re-
turned last night from an auto trip
touching Redtield, Huron, Water
town and Brookings, report that the
crops IN that section are simply Won
derlully. There is not much corn
up around there said MIR. Morris,
ana never saw such crops of small
grain. For miles and miles between
Watertown and Redfield all we could
see was field after field of shocked
grain. At that the crops are no bet
ter anywhere than they are in Dayi-
son county, n tt.s.
The hunting season does not open
until September 10th. One farmer
from near the city can testify that it
does not pay to hunt out of season as
he was arrested yesterday and this
morning fined $4,000 for shooting
one lone prairie chicken. He was
arrested on two counts, that of shoot
ing game out of season and hunting
without a license.
Game Warden Medley received a
postal notice from State Game Ward
an Bancroft announcing a change in
the date of the meeting of the sports
men at Huron. The hunting seasons
opens the 10th, and the state warden
thought 1T better to set the new date
IA little further away from the origin
al date. Consequently the meeting
will be held on the 18th.
The new front balcony seats in Tho
interior of the Corn Palace are now
completed. BY their installation 200
extra and choice seats are added. The
remodeling of the balcony makes IL
possible that the view from every seat
in the balcony is now a perfect one of
the stage.
There are a great many copies of
the Corn Palace Supplement of The
Republican and the Corn Palace
News left and these may be obtained
free of cost by calling upon Secy. W.
A. Wheeler at the Office of the Dakota
Improved Seed Company or of City
Auditor N. II. Jensen at the city hall.
The Corn Palace committee will APP
preciatc very much If the people of
the city will take an interest in the
advertising matter and obtain a num-
Der OF these supplements and send
out to their friends and relatives.
The Corn Palace carnival in it's eu-
tirety is described in the sheet.
DR.. Hoagland was welcomed back
to his pulpit after his vacation by a
magnificent congregation Sunday
morning. The great auditorium was
filled. He preached a ermon appro-
pirate to the day emphasizing the
need of steadinesS enthusiasm and
activity for the work of the new vaca-
ton year. He welcomed six new MEM
hers into the church In the evening
he preached to another great andi-
ence on The Gospel of the Great
Christian Commoner-Gen. Booth
Many visitors and strangers were in
both congregations. Special announce
nlent was made of the mid-week pray
er and social service, Wednesday
night. The special music by the large
chorus choir, directed by Prof. Hob
son. was splendid and one of the fine
features of the successful Sunday.
The special numbers were ''The ON
Impotence" by Schubert and 20 for
the Wings of a Dove" by Mendels-
sohn. Miss Morris sang the incidental
solos.
"What is the Matter with Our
Schools?" had a very large hearing
Sunday morning in the Congregation
al church. There were many teachers
ana parents present 10 near tne ulS-
cussion Of this timely topic. Rev. w.
NJ. MAR said that every teacher as
sociation for the last seven years in
this state has indicted the public
school system and that if half the
critics have said against the schools
were true it is time the legislature
appointed a special educational COM
mission to Investigate conditions and
to suggest some remedy for the glar-
ing evils that exist in the schools.
The speaker then discussed the main
points charged against the public
schools. They were the removal OF
the Bible, the inability to hold the
pupils to the end of the course, the
failure to provide for the proper
training of the stupid child, and the
inability to bring the course of study
into an intelligent and sympathetic
relationship with conditions outside
the school. Turning to the other side
the speaker clearly showed that
much of the criticism against the
