The story Published in Grand

SILK City not Worried or Account OF
the Russo-JapRnese Trouble.
VIII Continue Doing
Business.


From Thursdays Banner.
The fol owin4 statement was taken
from the Grand Rapids Post of last
evening and seems entire s. without
evidence. If the statements of the
local managers Of the silk mills can
be believed
"Th Japan Russia war is not consid-
cred other taan a thing TO watch for
It's spectacular features by people of
thi. city, but it may mean the death
of Belding, for time at least.
The principal industry in the PIE tty
little city is the silk manufactures,
which employ hundreds of men and
women, and long continuance of the
war would mean that they would have
TO shut down for the lack of raw ma
terial.
Over one-half of the silk used in the
mills comes from Japan and the re-
mainder comes from China, the firms
of the Richardson Silk company and
the Belding Bros. using only the finest
silks, which come from the countries
named
At present enough stock is on hand
and under Shipment to run the mills
for several months yet but not later
than long enough to fill the spring or
dcrs, the fan sales being extra large
The Japanese war will almost un-
doubt edly shut off greater part of
the supply from that country where
the finest silk comes from, and as
China also looks likely 70 figure in the
war before it is ended, it means cur
failing of the supply of raw material
from these countries. The mills in
Bedding are the only concerns of the
kind in this part OF the country and
Majority of the mills of the country
are in the New England states
Our reporter called on Mr.. Howard,
superintendent Of Belding Bros. y Co
mills and showed the above to him.
after reading the same he laughed
and said, well that is new one on me
So far as our factories are concerned
the war will have no bearing whatso-
eve on US. 1t may have a tendency
to raise th- prize of the finished pro-
duo. a little, but there IS no truth in
the statement that it will cau-e the

AUTUMN HATS READY
Schuneman & Evans Millinery
Dept. Has Fall Opening

The millinery department at Schune%
man & Evans yesterday and the cool
ness in the, air were signs that winter
is not far away. The hat opening
which marks the beginning of the sea-
son at Sehuneman & Evans is worthy.
of the attention it is attracting from
the women of St. Paul.
The shapes of the new hats are of
interest to every woman, for the rea-
son that many are beginning tossfeel
that the fiat hat has had it's day and
a change is welcome. So the largeland
in some cases high crowns which, are
seen on these autumn hats are of great
interest and mark a decided revolu-
ton in hats.
On every side are tables tastefully
arranged to show off the creations in
the best manner; one table is devoted
exclusively to red, another to blue, one
to brown, black and the gun metal
shades in grays. The distinctive color
of the autumn, however, is evidently
to be green, a vivid green which is
supposed to be trying, but in reality is
becoming either to the woman who is
pale or to the one with red cheeks.
A display of ravishing picture hats
in black, rose color and blue is to be
seen among the model hats. These are,
of course, intended for dress occasions
and are not to be commonly worn.
Large brimS and crowns are the distin-
gushing note of these hats; indeed, it
is safe to say there is not small hat in
this entire collection. The smallest
things are the turbans for the street,

At the meeting of the assembly to-
morrow evening DR.. Whitcomb will in
troduce his ordinance prohibiting the
careless and indiscriminate sale of car
bolic acid by druggists and providing
the utmost penalty applying to misde-
meanorS for violation of it's provisions.
The ordinance makes carbolic acid
a poison that is not to be sold to any
person who may call for it, but only
in cases where it is known that it is to
be used according to the directions OF

that large number of persons
