NOT YET SETTLED.
sieg Creditors will Meet Again Today
and Adjust Matters.


The meeting of the Sieg creditors,
which was held at the Office of the
factory Thursday afternoon, failed to
make arrangements for the re opening
of the factory, but the matter will be
finally settled today at meeting OF
the creditors to be held in Chicago.
The men who attended the meeting
Thursday showed no tendency to push
their claims beyond those of their fellow
creditors.
The plan for forming stock com
pany to operate the plant seemed to
ind few supporters among the creditors
and it was as unpopular as was the
scheme to leave the matter in the
hands of the receivers, although this
plan found few supporters. The
most probable way proposed of settling
the matter will be to operate the fac
tory under three trustees elected by the
creditors. This plan was virtually
adopted and all that remains is for the
creditors to appoint the trustees, which
will be done at the meeting in Chicago
today,
Under the present arrangements the
factory will be started at once, and one
of the head men stated Thursday eve
ming that probably Monday would find
the wheels moving again.
The trustees chosen will undoubted-
ly include Mr.. Sieg and the policy OF
The future management of the plant
will probably be the same as before.

the weight of the Chemical engine and
to save the present team from being

cost Of the horse, harness and hitch he
had been informed by Chief Barr would

same would be provided for by Chief
Barr so that the city would not be re-

How to Wash Chiffon.

This is such a fimsy and expensive
material that many people refrain
from wearing it on that account. Many
do not know that it can be washed
and made to look equal to new by a
very simple process. It is washed in
much the same way as muslin, and
after rinsing put through very clear,
thin starch. Care must be taken not
to twist it in any way; it should be
enclosed in the folds of a towel and
be beaten with the hands until dry.
Chiffon must be ironed almost imme-
diately, it dries so quickly. After be-
ing stretched to it's proper shape it
should be ironed on the right side with
a moderately hot iron. If it is a large
piece, too much should not be exposed
to the air at time, and on no &C
count be made stiff; it ought to fall
softly, and just have sufficient stiffness
to prevent it from looking limp. A
soiled white chiffon veil or tie, sub
jected to this process, is made to look
like new.

a peculiar case which must be of as
much interest to the travelling public
of America as to the people Of the
mother country, where the railway

evidence as here. A traveller, having
occasion to leave the car at a way

EQUAL REPRESENTATION.
German Methodists Vote On Important
Question.

Question.
Fridays meetings of the German M.
E. Conference were the most important
thus far in the session. The question
of representation at the General Con
ference came up and the ministers de-
cided by an overwhelming vote that
the laymen should have equal repre-
sentation in the general body of the
church. The vote on the resolution
was 68 to 2. The result of the vote in
the Chicago Conference will be more
important on account of the fact that
it will have great influence with the
other German conferences of the
church. Heretofore the German con-
ferences have stood firmly with the
ministers against the laymen AID the
action Of the ministers today will cause
considerable comment in Methodist
circles.
Presiding Elder John and Dr. Berry,
editor of the EpWorth Herald, were in
troduced to the Conference and DR..
Berry made short address on the
Epworth League. Three new mem
bers we're admitted to the Conference,
F. T. Fnderis W -Snhmitt- and E
KlaWiter.
This afternoon memorial service
was held, at which loving tributes were
paid to the memory of B. Lampert and
F. G.. Gruetzmacher, who have died
during the year. This evening Rev.
Peck, of Chicago, will preach the Con-
ference missionary sermon.
