Standard Oil company.
Exports of merchandise from New
York for the past two weeks have ex
ceeded those of the same weeks last
year by more than fifty per cent., while
in imports there appears a decrease of
about twenty per cent. The opening of
Germany and Denmark to American
pork products has lifted the. price of
pork fifty cents per barrel.
Secretary Rusk announces that he
has been advised that several of the for
eign governments are not disposed to
take any action in favor of corn, for the
reason that it cannot be raised in those
countries, and if the people "Should be
come accustomed to its use they might
like it better than rye. the domestic
production of wkick is usually large. If
tke authorities could feel certain tkat
tke people would return to jye bread
after the next good crop of the cereal,
tkey would feel and act differently aboat
the admission of Indian corn. Secre
tary Rusk expressed the opinion that it
would be wise of the farmers of the
United States to increase the acreage
of rye where tbe soil and climate are
favorable.

THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.
The cotton crop report as issued by
the department of agriculture marks ft
reduction in condition of cotton during
the last month of six points, from M.9 to
82.7. August is a critical period in the
growth of the cotton plant, and sixteen
times in twenty years has deterioration
been indicated by the returns of 8envl."
In the four exceptional years the August
averages were relatively low, and a de
cline had occurred during the previous
month. The cause of the present re
duction on the Atlantic coast has been
an excess of rainfall, causing over
growth of the plant and diminishing the
tendency to fruitage. The relative de
gree of loss is indicated by the state
averages of condition, which are as fol
lows: Virginia shows a loss of 3 points;
North Carolina "79, a gain of 4 points;
South Carolina 81, a loss of S points;
Georgia 82, a loss 'of 4 points; Florida
88, a loss of 6 points; Alabama 83, a loss
of ti points:, Mississippi 83, a loss of 10
points; Louisiana 85, a loss ef 5 points;
Texas 82, a loss of 10 points; Arkansas
.86, a loss of 9' points; Tennessee. 84, a
gain of 2 points.1

the Ocala convention; also that the com
mittee be authorized to lie the objec

of any resolutions' whatever binding the
individual memDersnipoi ue alliance

The fall term for the school year of
1891-93 of the South Dakota State Uni
veriity opened wltk a full attendance.
Tke faculty, wltk' tke exception of one
or-two departments, is complete. Lieut.
A. C. Skarpe has been detailed from the
regular United States army and has re
norted for dutv here as' instructor in
military tactics. The presidency of the
university is yet undecided. Several
prominent-educators are under consid
eration. Among them is Dr. Oliver S.
Dean, of Boston. Some trouble has
been met with in securing -a 'professor
of instrumental music. After the elec
tion of Prof. Carl Bichter-Nicolal, a
telegram was sent kin telling that his
engagement was canceled. Prof. -F.
Slade Oliver, of Chicago, was then
elected for the position, and soon after
a message was received from him say
ing that he had accepted another posi
tion, so the.chalr of instrumental music
is yet to be filled. Prof. Farr, who was
elected to the chair of geology and min
eralogy, has resigned, and th'at'position
is also vacant. The following Is the
faculty as Jar as has been secured:
S.G. Updyke, M. A., professor of his
tory and political economy; Lewis E. A.
Keley, M. A, professor of physics and
chemistry; J: S. Frazee, M. A profes

SFotm prisoners of the Sioux Falls
nawitJintiarT are at larre. and one of
them is no less a person than Flaherty,
the murderer of his mistress a year or
so ago at Huron. The first one to
escape was Myron Bemis, a '-trusty,'
who groomed the warden's horses and
did odd jobs. Ild hailed from Dead
wood, charged with grand larceny, and
had served one .year of his two years'
sentence. He is 10 years old, and made
good his escape while out at the barn.
Three more made a dash for liberty a
few evenings later Charles Langdon,
a safe blower from Kingsbury county,
John Flaherty, the murderer from
Huron, and James Campbell, a burglar
from Deadwood, sentenced for three
years, life and five years, respectively,
having all served short of a year. They
were in the kitchen cutting meat and
when the guards were not looking
escaped out of a door, scaled the fence
and disappeared in the darkness.

TO ADVERTISE NEBRASKA.
CewaMee Already Enlist to Aa-
swra too Adverttslaa; Train.
Tax grand exhibit of Nebraska prod
ucts at tke state fair kas added impetus
to tke proposition for an advertising
train. Tkirty-five counties have indi
cated their desire to participate in the
demonstration. Fifty counties are de
sired and the State Business Men's as
sociation is delaying its action a little
to secure exhibits and funds from that
number. The train is assured, how
ever. Thirty-five organized counties
can make a magnificent showing for the
state. Nebraska wants more people.
Tke way to get tkem is to circulate in
formation concerning tbe state and pre
sent to- tkeir eager eyes specimens of
what is produced. The immense crops
aad the good prices of this year will nat
urally tarn attention to Nebraska. The
advertising train will reach -those who
have not taken advantage of the har
vest excursions to see the golden fields
for themselves.
' A Baa morvaaUoa; Machine.
Tax problem of harvesting sugar
beets by machinery seems to be in a
fair way of solution. August Lind
grem, representing the Moline Plow
works, has a machine on exhibition at
Norfolk, Neb., that pulls the beets quite
satisfactorily and at the same time will
top folly 75 per cent, of them. Mr.
Lindgrem leaves for home with an order
from Secretary Hamilton for fifty ma
chines to be used on the present crop.

FOREIGN JOTTINGS.
Rumors of the inclusion of Spain la
the Franco-Russian good understanding
have been propagated ia Paris, and it is
triumphantly given out that Paris will
soon have a-triple alliance of her own.
Some color has been given to the reports
by meetings of prominent Spaniards and
Russians at Biarritz. The Spanish
Eremier was summering theret and when
is minister of foreign affairs joined him
there was thought to be something id
the wind. Suspicions were greatly
heightened when the Russian minister
to France dropped in upon the pair.
Still, it might easily have been that there
was but a coincidence,, had not the sub
sequent announcement been made that
the Grand Duke Vladimir was to pay
the Spanish queen regent a ceremonious
visit at San Sebastian. When it was
further added that her majesty had
ordered the minister of war to be pres
ent at the Interview, the gossips were
set wild. It is hard to say how much
there may be in it, but it seems scarcely
possible that anything more is intended
thatr-a bit of agreeable flattery to Spain
iu the hope of winning her good win.
Spauish pride would be stimulated by.
an invitation to enter tbe field of Euro
pean alliances, but her seridus financial
embarrassment would remain a power
ful argument in favor of her previous
policy of strict neutrality.
Details of the recent floods in Spain
reveal a frightful situation. In the
province of Toledo the rush of water
was so great that hundreds were
drowned in their beds. Thousands
altogether must have perished. A large
number of corpses still rest where they
were washed and epidemic is following
the slaughter by the flood. Monthsof
terrible privations and extreme suffer
ing are before the utterly impoverished
survivors. The crops are' gone, the
cattle swept away, houses and house
hold furniture ruined, and all that
would enable them to earn bread has
vanished beneath the torrents of water
which have rolled over the towns and
villages, fields and farms. Fresh corpses
are being discovered all the time. The
bodies of sixty persons have been found
in the public halL where they had been
overtaken by the flood in the midst of a
wedding feast.
Official renorts indicate that there
will be a short potato crop in several
countries in .Europe, as well as a short
crop of cereals, and tin representatives
of several foreign governments, as well
as the United States officials who are
familiar with the subject, do not hesi
tate to express the belief that there will
be great suffering among the people of
other countries besides Russia, unless
the customs regulations shall be so mod
itied as to admit both vegetables and
breadstuffs from the United States on
more favorable terms. Whether that
will be done is still uncertain.
A Valparaiso, Chili, dispatch says
the reason Balmaceda lost the last bat
tle was due to inefficient generals who
disobeyed his orders. The imprisoned
officers who fought under Balmaceda
say this is a fact and add that the presi
dent's troops were not as loyal as re
ported to be. The provisional govern
ment has issued orders for the arrest of
all robbers, pill a ;ers an 1 slayers of con
gressional sympathize!.
A San Salvador caVegram says that
in the city of San Salvador alone forty
people were killed and sixty injured by
the recent earthquake. It is impossible
as yet to get the details from the coun
try, but as the shock at outside points
was fully, if not more severe than in tho
city, it is feared the loss of life will run
into hundreds. The percuniary loss is
enormous.
O Rudini, the Italian prime minister,
is announced to have given his practi
cal adhesion to the policy of Lord Salis
bury, the English premier, in his oppo
sition to the new bias of the sultan or
Turkey in favor of Russia. The whole
of the dreibund it is supposed will now
be involved upon the side of England.
The foreign ministers at Pekin have
urgently protested to the Chinese gov
ernment against tile latest outrages,
those at Ichang on the Yang Tse Kiang,
when tbe British cousulate was de
stroyed, the houses of Europeans wcro
burned, and there 'is serious talk of a
naval demonstration.
3 Austin Bidwell, the noted American
forger, who was one of thoc who se
cured 81,000,00a from the Bank or Eng
land on forgod bills of exchange, oxer
twenty year.s ao, will be released Ironi
prison in FeUriiary, tho English govern
ment having en-, down his time.
The report tint England bad sek'jd
Mityiene, in t ic mouth of the Darda
nelles, in order to fortify it against the
advances or Russia, is denied. The
landing ol a party of British sailors for
a day's picnicking gave ri.n to the re
port. The rumor that the Dardanelles ques
tion had subsided is untrue. Lord Sal
isbury is actively taking diplomatic
steps. Tbe ptirte's ambassador at Lon
don was summoned lo Constantinople to
give an account of the position.
No TRACE.of Balmaceda has thus far
been found. One thing is certain, he
has not yet reached Buenos Ayrcs.
The junta has all the mountain passes
closely watched by troops to prevent
his escape.
Murders and outrages are of daily

CORN PALACE OF 1891.
More ttoootlfwl ea tho 3reateat oT All
Festival.
Th. firth annual Corn Palace festival.
which opens October 1 aad closes Octo
ber 17. at Sioux wiy, arouses jr
lutorcst aad enthusiasm than any for
mer occasion, becaase it is thoroughly
understood that the palace and all the
entertainment aad attractions con
nected with it are to be better and
brighter and on a far greater scaie wan
ever before. It will retain all the ex
cellent features of former festivals,
adding many new ones, unprecedented
in their interest and scope. The Cen
tral and South American exhibits will
be in themselves equal to a department
in the grandest World's fair. The Mexi
can band, that marvelous organization
of musicians, will play throughout the
festival, giving such concerts In the
palace as never wcro heard aside from
the places where they have appeared.
Th abundant and unprecedented crops
in the northwest will make tke agricul
tural exkibit absolutely 'unsurpassed.
Th. or Palace of this year is larger
and grander in every respect thau any
of its four predecessors and will cost
8100,000. Some of tbe important items
:if this year's palace, as compared with
last year's, are shown by the following

There is little doubt that the Corn
Palace as an attraction stands out as an
iginal and unique exhibition without
a rival. There Is nothing with which it
an be compared, as thero has never
been a Corn Palace outside of Sioux
City. The usual excursions rrom New
England and every other part of the
Unite! States will be augmented by the
Sreat additions this year. The railroads
are interested in the matter, heart and
joul. They will make low rates, popu
lar excursions and proviJe every com
fort and convenience for their patrons.
TLu Corn Palace of 1891' is bound to
oe a world-famed success.
Haw It Is BallU
The person who has not seen a Corn
Palace has a vague idea that it is a
structure of corn, but how it is built
and decorated he does not know. Nor
to see the completed palace, and not to
mako a minute examination of its struc
ture, would one realizo the vast amount
of work required to make it the thing
of beauty and significance it is. First
is nreeted an immenso frame structure,
mostly of pine boards and plank. The
beams and heavy parts are made of
planks nailed together, thus giving far
greater strength than if the timbers
were solid. The entire outline of the
palace is thus made. Then, upon the
outside, all the various parts and forms
of corn and the other native cereals are
nailed, blending in wonderful harmony
of color and making many a unique de
sign.' The variety of grains, grasses
and parts of corn used is wonderful, and
never was Imagined until after experi
ence was gained in Corn Palace build
ing. Many whole ears of corn are split,
sawed in two lengthwise and nailed
upon the boards. The green or yellow
stalks, in all shades, are also em
ployed; the individual kernels are
used; the blades and leaves are
brought into play, and in every way,
shape and manner the exterior or the
nalmra Is eloouent of the productive and
golden northwest. The person who
comes upon the Cora Palace for the first
time and sees it In all its magnificence
and beauty, feels that it is a revelation.
It inspires thoughts which are not given
to men to describe; it provides its own
eloquence.
But if the exterior or the palace is
grand and beautiful, the interior is even
more so. It is here that the decorative
po-sii)iIitie of the cereals have been
mot fully realized, and have taken the
most delicate forms. But the inside of
the palace is een harder to describe
than the outside. It must be sufficient
to say that it is a perfect bower or
beautv. and at each new turn and in
every nook and corner new beauties are
round.
Sawth America at tho Palace.
A grand displsy from Central and
South America wiH prove or great
interest to everyone visiting tbe palace.
Amongst the collection will be over
Torty varieties or fine woods, such as
mahogany, rosewood, oiiwood, etc.; qor
fee bushes growing and loaded down
with coffee, pineapples just as they arc
transplanted, coco rutts on a section of
the tree: Iudi.i rubber plants an.i India
rubber in tho crude and manufactured
state, banana plants, and a score of
other varieties of tropical plants; Indian
relics and souvenirs, views of country
and city lire, etc In the space devoted
to this unique exhibit will be erected or
cane or bamboo, with' thatched roof, a
characteristic Central America hut,
which will be presided over by a family
or natives from that country, clothed in
their own peculiar costumes. This ex
hibit not only insures an immense at
tendance, but it is the beginning of com
mercial relations between the great
northwest and prominent ports of Cen
tral and South America or mutual ad
vantage to both sections.
Cora Palace Notes aad Attractions.
Fifteen Iowa, Nebraska and South
Dakota bands have been engaged for
street music, and altogether the Corn
Palace of 1891 promises to be one of the
greatest attractions in America. Sioux
City people are preparing to entertain
200,000 visitors
The managers have finally decided to
give a grand ball in the palace. Tho
date will probably be Tuesday, Oct. 5.
Tickets will be sold to those who dance
at S3 each. Otherwise the usual admis
sion fee will be charged. The splendid
floor of hard wood which will be laid in
the east wing will make the finest danc
ing surface possible, and it will contain
over 4,000 square feet. Invitations to
the ball will be sent to the people of
neighboring towns. The Mexican band
will furnish music
- One of tke features of the wheelmen's
parade during the Corn Palace tourna
ment will be the ladies' division. It is
fexpected that thirty to fifty ladies oa
wheels will bo ia Ilae. Each lady tak
ing part will be presented with a hand
some Corn Palace souvenir spooa.
'. To aay that the Cora Palace must be
seen to bo appreciated is a trite expres
sion, bat it is literally true. Ono'may
see iU pictures, photographs, the dupli
cate of tho real, aecarately-colored lith
ographs, or lae engravings; ho may
read that it is a frame-work of wood,
covered with eora la all its shades and
shapes, corn ia the oar, eora la tho
husks, tke stalks of corn, tho leaves of
corn; he may realize that with nature's
own products the marvelous golden
temples of Ind are rivalled; he may be
lieve that within its walls are veritable
fairy bowers, wrought by a combination
of human art and infinite skill; but
artcr alt lie must see it himself to feel
she thrill of its ladescribable beauty.
