MODERN SILK WEAVING
An Interesting Exhibit Now at Powers
Dry Goods Store.

The most interesting exhibit that has
appeared in Minneapolis for many a day
is now in operation on the main floor in
the silk section of Powers Mercantile
company. "NToneybak" silk is actually be-
ing woven on an electric loom. 1t is the
machine which created the Juror at the
recent fashion show at Madison Garden.
The loom is very nearly a direct reversal
of the loom Of our grandmothers. A COM
plicated system Of levers above the web
takes the place Of the cumbersome
treadles below, trod by Puritan women,
and twenty fine thread and closely knotted
Gifts manipulate the silk into cunning
shapes In this modern machine, instead Of
at the utmost. the three coarse twine
harness of old. ~
But the most marvellous thing Of all,
and the newest to manufacture, is the end
less chain at the left Of the machine. To
all intents and purposes 1t is a typewriter,
with pegs like those In music box for
keys. These pegs catch onto the lever
above the web and thereby print on the
white selvage the work 'Moneybak'' the
registered trade mark Of the silk, Money
bak' means that should the silk prove
poor in any respect purchasers money
is returned to him.
The machine is on Its way to the st.
Louis exposition. It is operated by W. P.
Watson, one Of the most expert weavers
In the country and a graduate Of the New
Bedford Textile school.
It is an interesting story Of silk. from it's
discovery by the Chinese over 400 years
ago up to now. that D. F. Greenawalt tells
at Powers, while the weaver weaves in il
lustration or stops to explain to the crowds
some important point.
The one thing above all others which
catches the attention is the reason why
silks crack. 1.-THE threads are loaded in
most modern silks. says the lecturer. This
means that minerals are put into the dyes
taRd they crystalline on the threads exact
/ ly as alum crystallizes on thread soaked
in alum water. It takes fewer loaded
! threads to the inch than it does Of pure
silk and the silks are cheaper. But wo.
men are practically wearing glass gown.
when they don such silks, SO they'd better
watch out" for glass cracks. and so doe.
silk when the threads are loaded.
"Moneybak is every thread silk, and tina
is why it is flexible and strong" says tn,
lecturer; and he tugs at a twist Of it
crpn1ples It up fine. yanks it and strains
it over a board-it isn't glass surely.
In the Arcade window five handsom,
gowns show the merits OF 'Moneybak'
silk when 1t is made up.

But this morning the same fetching

Large attendance Ont at the Meeting
Monday Evening.

In answer to the call issued for
meeting of taxpayers and citi.

pointed hour.

who IN company with Green
Bay and Milwaukee parties, own
a large tract of pine, hardwood
and hemlock timber near Maren-
isco. For some time these gentle
men have been considering the
advisability of locating their mill
at this place and shipping in their
material by rail. 1t developed at
the meeting that while the citizens
here were unanimos in an effort
to secure their location here, still
in view of the necessarily large
expense they would be put to in
the matter Of a bonus to offset
the compapy's expense in freight
ing in their raw material, it would
hardly be feasible to take the mat
ter up with them at this time.
The line of operations the COM
pany would pursue are of consid-
able proportions and will call for
a much larger bonus than the city
could possibly handle.
The meeting was not without
results, however, as it was readily
seen that nothing could be &C
complished towards securing the
location of industries here with
out some organized effort being
put forth in that direction The
direct result Of the meeting was
the organization of an Advance
ment association having in view
the matter of opening up CORE
spondence and negotiating with
concerns seeking new locations, as
we'll as endeavoring to induce
newly organized enterprises to To-
cate here.

The worst storm that has been
experienced in this section for
over twenty years ragged with un-

until Wednesday evening, COM
pletely tieing up traffic on the

comes reports of damage to
telephone and telegraph lines,
snow-bound and bio .kaded trains.
From Is inches to two feet Of
snow fell during Monday night

into huge drifts in the exposed

STATE CONVENTION.
New York Republicans Hold L.
in the Empire City.
ROOSEVELT is ENDORSED.
Platt. OdeH, Depew and Black Are
New York's "Big Four',-Gov.
Oden Chosen Chairman of
State Committee.

New York, April 13.-The republi-
can state convention in session here
Tuesday named as delegates at large
and alternates to the national con-
vention at Chicago:
Senator II. c. Platt, alternate J.
Sloat Fassett.
Senator c. NJ. Depew, alternate
Louis Stern.
Governor B. b. Odell, alternate
Erastus c. Knight.
Frank S. Black, alternate Henry C.
Brewster.
The platform strongly endorses
the administrations of President
Roosevelt and Gov. Odell and the del
egates at large to the national con-
vention are directed to use all hon
orable means to secure the nomina-
ton of Theodore Roosevelt"
There was some discussion over
the fact that these directions" in
cluded only the delegates at large,
but Gov. Odell explained in this way:
Since 1880 when we abandoned the
plan of selecting the district dele
gates, the state convention has not,
and indeed cannot, instruct the dis
trict delegates. Those delegates are
elected and, if desired by their home
conventions, are instructed. This
direction of the convention to the
delegates at large to secure Mr..
Roosevelt's nomination is the strong
est possible way irp which the matter
could be put"
The congressional dispute in the
Thirty-third district between adher-
ents of j. Sloat Fassett and present
Congressman GilIet, was left prac-
tically without settlement so far as
the convention was concerned.
Charles A. Schieren, of Brooklyn,
and George Urban, jr., of Buffalo,
were named as electors at large.
Immediately after the adjournment
the state committee unanimously
elected Gov. Odell as chairman.

RAISED THE CRY OF FRAUD.
Hearst Boomers holt the New Jersey
DemOcrntic Convention.

Trenton, n. j., April ia prac-
tically harmonious democratic state
convention of more than 1900 dele
gates to elect delegates to the ma
tional convention at st. Louis which
yesterday selected an unnstructed
delegation, was followed by a boiling
convention of the supporters of Will
lam Randolph Hearst for president.
The boilers numbered about 100 men
who claimed they had been illegally
deprived of seats in the regular con-
vention.
The second convention was held in
Masonic Temple, the hall having been
engaged as a Hearst headquarters.
The bolting convention nominated
delegates at large and delegates from
five congressional districts. The IA
men named by the boiling conven-
tion Will go to ST. Louis and contest
the seats of the men selected at the
regular convention.
The regular convention was held In
the State Street Theatre and was
presided over by Richard V. Linda
bury.
The boiling convention was pre-
sided over by Joseph r. Buchanan, of
Essex. a resolution which claimed
that the regular convention had been
controlled by the interests of cor
porations and agents of the republi-
can party and that the Hearst dele
gates had been deprived of their
rights, was opposed as too radical.
Only five or six counties were rep
resented in the boiling convention
and no regular procedure was follow
ed in determining who had or who
had not right to a seat in that as
semblage.
The committe of ten that is to be
appointed to prepare a manifesto
was instructed to secure evidence to
substantiate the claims of fraud
] made by the Hearst delegates.

a Congressional Committee Reports on
the Charges Against Certain Mem
bers OF the House.

Washington, April 13.-The report
of the special committee of the house
appointed to investigate the report
from the postoffice department print
ed under the caption charges con-
corning members or congress" was
made to the house Tuesday by Chair
man Mccall.
The important phase of the report
is the finding regarding the connec-
tion of members with the business of
the postofiice department. This find
ing is as follows:
after a careful consideration of
all cases specified in the report num-
bered 1895 (the report of the post
Office committee on charges against
members of congresso so far as they
relate to present members of the
house of representatives, which the
committee assume to be the limit of
their jurisdiction, they have unani-
mously reached the conclusion that
nothing has appeared in connection
with said cases that would justify
the finding that any member of the
house of representatives has profited
financially in the slightest degree, or
that any member was guilty of i'm
9roper conduct in connection there
with, or that any member has done
IN connection with any of said eases
nything that did not appear to be
within the line of his official duty ac-
cording to long established custom"
