An Intensely Interesting Collection
Of Original Drawings Shown
at Powers.

An art exhibition with something to
satisfy the tastes; Of everyone inter-
ested in illustrating is the large coll
lection of original illustrations of cur
department of Powers. Minneapolis
has always manifested lively inter-
est in this field of art and such exhi-
b1t1ons have enjoyed greater popular
lty than any other and the attendance
at the current one is emphasizing this
tendency of the popular taste.
Nearly all Of the publishers of the
country are represented in the collec-
ton as we'll as most of the great
names among the illustrators. The
collection Is of uneven merit, but con-
talns large percentage of high grade
work. A few drawings stand out prom
inently, among them one of Castaigne
regal surroundings of the Tuileries.
The many expedients used to heighten
an effect interest many people and
this is well shown in one of Howard
Chandler Christy's drawings for s'Un-
der the Rose" One of Thomas Mitch
Cloak is especially clever in It's
handling Of drapery in the heavy, vol
luminous folds Of nuns cloak.
Among the interesting work for
juveniles are the drawings of Lucy
Fitch Perkins for prince Silver
WiASS dlu COQuO, QOne In sort,
fiat tints; the work on the Kinneys for
"Margot, the Court Shoemaker's
Daughter; Mr.. Seton's illustrations
for Two Little Savages''; and draw
ings by Ruth Hallock, Maud L. Rad
ford, Helen Maitland Armstrong,
Walter ]. Enricht, Fanny Y. Cory and
Bertha l.. Corbett
One of the most striking illustra-
tions in the collection is painting in
monochrome by Charlotte Weber for
"The Castle of Twilight showing Le-
nore's vigil in the chapel with the
body of Gerault. Another worthy of
notice and receiving much of 1t is the
colored crayon drawing for ''The
Spenders," by Rose O'Neill. Clarence
Underwood shows his understanding
of thorobred humanity in a drawing
for THE Millionairess." The portray
ers of the aristocracy and wealth in
clude besides Christie, Frank T. Mer-
rill, Arthur I. Kellar, B. West Cline
dlnst and Archie Gum.
The illustrations of "The Country
Boy by Griselda M. Mcclure will GER
tainly stimulate interest in the book,
While the complete set by 3. West
Clined dinst for 1.-The One Woman lays
bare the springs of the whole book.
The exhibition will remain the
whole week and is shown as advan-
tageously as the limited space will
permit.

SOFT SOAP UPSET HIM
supt. Mcdonald Has a Bad Fall
While Answering a
Riot Call.

Frank Mcdonald, superintendent OF
the workhouse, Is on crutches to-day
as a result of his being too hasty in
trying to quell a workhouse riot.
Late yesterday afternoon the girls
in the laundry began to quarrel over
the division of labor. Every girl in
the place declared that all the others
were lazy and the controversy became
so heated that an attempt was made
to settle it by force of arms. The
arms in the fray being bars of soap,
fatlrons and other laundry utensils
within easy reach.
The battle was well under way when
some one opened the laundry door, al
lowing the noise to disturb the super
1ntendent. who was busy in his office.
Discipline is the first consideration at
the workhouse, and Mcdonald made
record dash for the laundry. Just
inside the door one of the TRUSTEES
was scrubbing the floor with soft soap,
and as soon as Frank crossed the
threshold he lost all control of his
feet and Travelled the remaining dis
tance to the scene of conflict on his
back. Altho he made his entrance
in rather undignif1ed manner, his
presence served to quiet the fighting
girls, permitting him to make
quick use Of the liniment bottle.

LABOR UNIONS DISCUSSED
M. Falk GJertsen Points Out Successes and
Errors Before Viking

Labor Unions were discussed last
night by Rev. M. Falk Gjertsen at meet
ing Of the Viking league in Richmond hall,
Eighth street and Nicollet avenue Now
that capital is highly organized, said Mr..
Gjertsen, labor unions are absolutely nee
essary. They have accomplished much in
raising wages, in shortening the labor day,
in preventing child labor, and in securing
other important rights and benefits. The
mistakes of the unions have been chiefly
in demanding uniform wages for the same
class Of work regardless Of the efficiency
Of the worker; in ordering unjustifable
strikes; in listening to pretended leaders
that were merely agitators and dema-
gogues To succeed in their endeavors
the unions must be just and thus retain
the support of public opinion.

Out Money Collected @. O. d.

Roy O'Neil, driver for a local ex-
press company, was convicted of petit
larceny in police court this morning.
His sentence was $40 or forty days.
The complaint was that O'Neil had
collected SIS on C. O. D. deliveries
and failed to turn over the money,
saying he had lost it. In court he
pleaded guilty and tried to get his
sentence reduced by telling the court
that he had promised the company to
make up his shortage. The manager
of the company said he had made the
like reports before and the matter
had been overlooked, but each time
the amount was larger than before
and they had decided on his arrest,

MONTGOMERY THEATRE.
Row of Flats" to Good
 sized Audience.

notwithstanding the oppressive heat, a good sized audience witnessed the an nuaI appearance of "McFadden's Row of Flats" at the Montgomery Theater last night.
 The performance was of mediocre merit Several good specialties raised the standard of the entertainment. but the principal roles were perhaps not so vel sustained as in previous years. The chorus, while small, showed up we'll There were several handsomely staged scenes, frightened with handsomely costumed if small. chorus. The per formance pleased the gallery, but the gal lery is not ordinarily discriminating.
 There were those in the audience who believed that "McFadden's Row or Flats" had a superabundance of horse play. Perhaps the horse play was em phasized by the lack of harmony ana unity in the company in the hrst daSs of the new season.
 A musical speciality by the Alexander Brothers and James F. Brady bore off the honors of the evening. The act was good and the applause of the audience endowed 1t.
 Then the tow dwarfs, Ralston and Sul- livan as usual, pleased the spectators It would seem that these dimlnutlVes were the mainstay of the Flats. Without them last nights performance would not have been as good as indifferent Sulll- vans eccentric acrobatic speciality pleas ed the audience nightly.
 In the principal roles Miss Ada Boshell and Joseph F, Willard acquitted them selves most creditably. Miss Boshell was a very satisfactory Irishwoman, while the Baumgarten of Willard was decid- edly clever hit.
 Miss Marguerite Ferguson was a graceful Mary Ellen and did fairly we'll although the soubrette role could have been done better.
 The specialties as a whole were better than the run of the regular play.

The Walker Bill.

The municipal bill of Representative Walker of Madison, which is a special order for consideration in the House to- day is an exhaustive treatment Of the subject, covering ntnety-two pages of ot- ficial paper. It shows a profound knowl- edge of municipal and general law and of municipal practice. It's purpose is to have all cities, towns and villages of the State to be governed by one general statute It may be said to be written in three parts, one relating to cities, the other to towns and the other to Villages. and makes provision for the government of these three forms of communities.
 The cities are to be regarded as of two classes: First. all that contain 25,OOO population or more are to be cities of the first class; all containing 2,OOO and less than 25OOO population are to be cities of the second class.
 The towns are to be those communities containing 100 and less than 1000 popula- tion.
 All unincorporated towns or villages are to be villages Provided, each communi- ty shall elect to be so classed. In other words the Walker law shall apply only in case city or town shall choose to come under it's provisions. The method of expressing the will of the people in the matter Is prescribed and regulations duly provided.
 The bill is especially interesting to cities of the first class and as to these cities are new and novel.
 All rights and property of every kind and description which are now invested in any city or town under it's present organization are to be held to be vested in said city or town upon its reorganiza- ton under said act. In effecting the reorganization every qualified voter within the boundaries of the proposed city or town shall have the right to vote on the subjects presented.
 Municipal elections in cities shall be held biennially, on the first Tuesday in May, Cities of the first class shah have seven councilmen-at-iarge and one councilman from each ward. It is arranged that one half of the council shall go out at each election.
 There shall be elected every two years a mayor recorder. clerk, city attorney, tax collector and auditor; and the city council shall appoint a treasurer. The city may provide for an election or for appointment of such officers as are need ful for the government of the city and the due exercise of its corporate powers, fix their terms of office, their compen- sation and prescribe their duties All such appointed officers shall be removed for cause by the body making the ap- pointment
 The mayors salry shall be not more | than $2.500 a wear. The act defines the duties of the city clerk treasurer, auditor recorder, expert accountant; leaving the duties of city attorney. assessor. collec- tor, chief of police and any additional of ficers to be defined bv ordinance.
 The method of electing the mayor and council and the powers and duties of the council are prescribed in full. Each councilman is to receive an amount not in excess of $50 per annum. Several of the powers conferred are not specially mentioned in the present municipal code, as, for example, the power to establish
