Observation-Disclosures CONTEST

Closing Up the Evidence Testimony
Taken in st, Paul and Minneapolis Yes
terday.
The taking of testimony in the Donnelly-
Washburn contested election case was resumed
in st. Paul at the Office of O'Brien & Eller, YES
terday forenoon. The only witness examined
was Capt. J. R. King of Big Stone county, who
testified to the election boundaries of that
county. The evidence adduced was mainly of
technical character, going to show that the
original size of the election precinct in Big
Stone had been subsequently enlarged by the
addition of two other precincts.
Witness testified to having been at Takina
precinct on election day, officiating as clerk of
election. The precinct had been originally es-
tabllshed by the Governor and comprised
townships No. l, 2, 8, and 4; range 4, S, 6,
and g. Two precincts having been afterwards
established from the original Witness was
unable to state what territory had been en-
braoed by the two last precincts, but thought
that t'oo or three townships were taken from
the west, favoring the precinct of Wirean.
At the precinct of Takina twenty-nin votes
were polled for Donnelly and one for WASH
burn. 1t had been stated that twenty-nine
votes had been cast fo- Washburn and one for
Donnelly at the precinct of Wirean Witness
was unable to state the number of votes cast
at teaches store.

can hardly believe that these stones

nothing more alluring than this stone,
which resembles a crystallized rainbow.
1t is said that the opal fades with time,
if it has remained too long buried in
the earth. 1t changes six months after
its extraction; but, il ct the expiration
Of that time it does not lose its brilisn-
cy, thsn it will never change. 1t is
well known that the English aristocra-

victim to an unjust prejudice, and

AS the rest Of Spaniards) looks upon it
with no cnviaole eye. Besides the
Queen Of England having love for
this eliminated stone, the courts of
Austria and Germany adore it. Super

Of its handsomest ornaments. We like
better the superstition OF the ancient

The Shakers In England.

With the LaZaretti tragedy, in Italy,
must be coupled the failure vi another
scheme of religious enthusiasts. The
community of Shakers first established
in Lancashire, Eng land, in l741, after
wards emigrated to America, and the
5000 of them that are now III this coun-
try were for many years the only
Shaker organizations III the world. a
few years ago, however, Mis-. Mary Ann
Girilug attempted to found society in
Hampshire, England. In an open field
they lived III tents about tour years.
Mrs. GirlIng being the chief authority
in all things. Every person joining the
community was required to surrender
to her all that they possessed except
the clothing on their bodies, without
expecting any article ever to be re-
turned. She was sole authority in faith
and doctrine, her teaching "being III
strict harmony with the Apostolical
order and Gospels of Christ" Mar
riage was forbidden, AS was also init
macy between man and woman, and
those possessing children were not al
lowed TO interfere in the management
OF them. On Saturday, August 10th,
the whole community WAS elected from
the field where they had held their
camp for nearly four years. They
passed several days and nights in the
open air without shelter from the rain,
and at times were without food and de-
pendent wholly on charity. Last April
they contracted a debt Of Is, which
was increased to Els by costs in sui.
against them. Failure to pay the land
lord AMI the court caused the eject.
ment. After the ejectment they
were offered two places, but both
were owned by publicans whose inns
were near by, ana the Shakers declined
to accept them. Their beds have sever
al times been completely saturated 10y
the rain, and charges have now been
brought rgainst them for obstructine
the highway. 1t seems to be the
opinion in England that an end has
thus been put to the attempt to re-
establish a community Of Shakers il
England.
