IS OF INTRICATE DESIGN BUILDING Mitchell Only Town in State that Has Kept the Idea Alive Since Its Inception Sever: Ago. Years MITCHELL, 8. D., Sept. 26.—(Special)— The fall corn palace idea has taken deep Toot In the hearts of the people within the corn belt section of the state as one of the best and most successful plans for display- ing the representative products of South Dakota. This is the fifth year that Mitch- el has held its corn palace and both in attendance and attractions it has so far excelled any of its predecessors. ‘The building is a structure 140 feet long and 100 feet wide and stands within a block | of the business district, so that it is easy of access. The south and west sides of the bullding are decorated with corn, grains and the many grasses that grow abund- antly in this county. The cotn is picked while a trifle green and is then sawed in the center lengthwise and nalied to the building. Intricate designs are thus made on Mosalo and geometrical lines, which ad- mits of almost any kind of figure being worked out. An abundance of red corn of various hues is grown in this vicinity for the sole purpose of being used in decora ton. Yellow, White and Blue. Yellow, white and blue (squaw) corn 1§ also used in abundance for this purpose. With the red corn it is possible fo secure some very handsome shading effects and the designs are drawn with the view of making the figures pronounced with the colored corn. One of the most artistic pieces of work are two American flags and n American eagle done In corn, which for lifellke appearance seems incredible. The flags are made of red, white and blue corn, and the eagle, surmounting the flags, is done in yellow corn. 80 much for the ex- terlor. On the interior of the bullding is shown in the various county exhibits. This year there are nine counties in the display, as follows: Aurors, Brule, Buffalo, Lyman, Sanborn, Spink, Edmunds and Davison. \The great varietles of corn shown in every county dispels the illusion held by the eastern people that South Da- kota is not & reliable corn country. This year has been the banner one for corn, which was practically out of the way of frost when it appeared a week ago. The samples of wheat, cats, barley, rye, Some people at 40 look like 60! Gray hair. Ayer’s Hair Vigor. wsare: Jerauld, | spelts, all kinds of vegetables, every pos- sible yarlety of fruit put an end to. the false impression that is abroad in refer- ence to this state. However. within the past year there has not been a noticeable change in the sentiment of Jowa and Illi- nois people concerning South Dakota. These people have been coming into our state and more than ever this yedr. They have had full opportunity to see the dis- play of grain In the fields {n such abund- ance that it has had the desired effect in eradicating the prejudice that has been held against us. Extraordinary Vield of Oatx. In the Spink county exhibit, referred to, there is a sample of cats raised on the Hunter-Salter farm that ylelded ninety- one bushels per acre, Corn from the sam. farm averages over sixty oushels per acre. These displays are arranged with the ides of showing the grain in the best possible shape. The Mitchell corn palace has come to be recognized, from the success in past years, as the leading Institution to prop- erly display the products of the soil. The corn palace has done as much, if not more, In the way of advertising the won- | dertul resources of South Dakota than any- thing else, for every year it has drawn the | people hither, and the seeing of the pro- | ducts coused a retaining of the faith in the sofl. In the gallery are perhaps a dozen booths that ure decorated by the ladies of the city, Everything that is used In the mattor of decoration is taken entirely from the flelds of this county, and hardly u thing grown on prairie or in the fields but what 1s utilized In some way the booths. There is an art gallery which that are made of corn husks, corn sk, wheat straws, etc. They comprise the heads of women, frult pleces, animale, etc, Another is of a Grand Army of the Re- deftly woven from grains of corn in the rational colors. The others are decorated on the same general plan. Amusements for ors. Not all is given over to the matter of edueation along agricultural lines, for the people would not come for this pur- | pose alone. The matter of wmusement of the crowds Is a problem that has always been handled guccessfully. It has been the custom to secure a band of some prominence to give concerts n.l(h r- noon and evening in the palace. This year the famous Banda Rossa was en- gaged and they are at present playing A most successful engagement There are also free street attractions given each morniug, afterncon and evening at hour when there is no attraction in the palace. They serve to keep the people interested and not let the time hang heavy on their hands. Magnificent Crops This Year. ! The magnificent this year nerved crop raised in the st~te the people of Mitchell to make a more pretentious show than ever before, with ‘he result that a finer decorated bullding has been presented to the visitors, bejter agricultural exhibits have been brought for display, and better attractions have been secured with which to entertain the crowds. has been In progress but three days the record of attendance is at this time than any previous year affair will close on October 1 While the corn palace has been carried on in the northwest for a good many years—notably at Sloux City as far bak a8 1888 and up to 189, Mitchell has kept It alive all taese years and there does not seem to be any waning in Ms popularity with the people. Mitchell Ideas at St. Louls, When the siate committes was appointed o wrrange for a state bullding at the St. Louls exposition next year the members visited Mitcheil and abtained somse informa- tion relative 1o the cost of construction and or four larger The for beautifying | had a dozen handsomely designed pictures | public and Women's Reliet Corps booth | with the emblems and the American flag | corn | While the palace | the amount «f grain required to decorate the bullding. ‘The cammlttee was so well pleased with the corn palace here that the same !dea was ‘mmediately adopted !for the state tuilding at St. Louis, and the plan of decoration will be carried out on the same line as in the Mitchell palace. All Kinds of material for decoration and for the agricultural exhibit will be se cured from e county exhibits now on dis- play In the Mitchell palace and it will be retained for the opening of the exposition 8t. Louls, There are hundreds of thousands of east- ern people who have heard of the corn palace ldea as eolved in the west, and the presenting of a tuflding of this character at St. Louls will be an easy and effective way for visito remember South after they v gone to their homes Is believed that the state could not make a better investment of purpose than to @ palace idea at St licate the Louls. Mitchell corn Banner Day of Corn Palace. Todey has been the banner day of the corn palace. Over 2,000 people came on the regular and the ecpecial trains. The Milwaukee road brought 1,200 peopls on a special excursion from Sioux Fails and Canton. The visitors in the city now number over 7,000. At the cofcert this afternoon the building was packed to its utmost capacity given by the Banda Rossa to accommodate the crowds. The Milwaukee road has just granted another excursion train on Sunday for the corn palace. The train will leave Sloux Falls at 7:15 o'clock. Fare one and ‘oncrnnm for the round trip.

'The charge was made by the Parks delegation that Brophy's credentials had been forged, and to preyent a fie¢-for-all fight that seemed imminent, President Buchanan adjourned the convention without hour and without walling to put the yuestion. Later when President Buchanan, remaining away from | the ball, refused to reconvene the conven- tion, the Parks crowd organized u session, | placing Second Vice President Warden of New Haven in the chalr, and uascatel Erophy. President Buchanar declares that the acts of the rump convention are u. constitutional and Mr. Brophy says that he will ignore tre Parks crowd and take his seat when President Buchanan again resumes the chair. A fight had been made on Brophy yeste ¢ay by the Parks crowd, and, although he was seated, President Buchanan ruled, to prevent endless debate, that any one wishing to make & protest against any of the delegates might do so in wriling. Such a protest against Brophy, declaring him to be @ “scab,” was presented just before ad- journment last evening and bocame ths first business of the convention today. KANBAS CITY, walking delegate the and a Charge of Forgery, A threatening move was made at the door of the hall as Brophy sought entrance to the convention today.

Haynes, Mayor of Minne- apolis: ‘Dear Sir—We beg to acknowledge recelpt of your Tetter asking for our ap- proval of your appointing a committee of five representative citizens to arbitrate the labor question of our former employes. In eply would say that o request was made in the week by a committce of em- ployes (o arbitrate this question. We de- cline to entertain this proposilion. The question was fully canvassed at that time and our reply was distinct enough to thoroughly understood. We have no hesitation in saying further that we prefer to shut down our mills if we cannot find men willing to work at the present scale of hours and wages. Minneapolis flour manufacturing fs already carrying as great a handicap as it can possibly stand. We have in the past made concessions and sacrifices to our men, raised the wages, shortened their hours and at times run the mills at a loss to ourselves. You probably understand the scale of wages and hours of men working in the Minneapolis flour mills s already more favorable to them than is the scale to men similarly placed at other points in this country with which we compete. We should be pleased io have a privats con- ference with you at your office at any hour you name, if in_your opinion it should_be necessary.’ but our decision s final.
