CLAIMS DOVER RIGHTS.
VIII Of 3Ers. Kelly Contested by Her
Husband.

Patrick II. Kelly yesterday commenced
proceedings to contest the will of his de-
ceased wife, Mrs. Mary A. E. Kelly, by
claiming his dover rights in probate
court. The petition brings up an interest
ing legal question
Mrs. Kelly died in January. 1899. leaving
all her property to her four daughters
Miss Sarah Kelly, Miss Esther Kelly,
Mrs. Agnes Kelly Tingle and Mrs. Mary
Kelly Tingie. The name of the husband
was not mentioned in the will.
Mr.. keliy's petition simply states that
he Is the surviving husband, and that
under the law he is entitled to an m
divided one-third interest in the estate.
there is a very fine legal point involved
III the matter. The law not only provides
that the surviving husband shall be en-
titled To one-third OF the estate, but pro
NldeS that when an heir desires to re-
hpuHce the provisions of a will he must
90 SO within six months after it is filed
MT. Kelly claims that he was not men
toned in the viii, and therefore does NOT
come under this provision of the law. The
petition for the admission of the will to
probate, which was filed shortly after
Mrs. Kelly died, states that Mr.. Kelly is
the surviving husband, and claims a share
OF the estate. 1t is possible that the courts
may hold that this is all the claim need
ed TO establish his right to be heard in
the matter.

Will bring about a permanent cure and
that Is the we'll known Pyramid Pile
Cure.
In long standing cases the Pyramid
has proven to be the only cure except a
dangerous and exceedingly painful surgi-
cal operation, and its advantages over
any kind of operation are many, as It is
painless causes no interference with daily
occupation, and, being in the form of a
suppository, is always convenient and
ready for use.
The Pyramid Pile cure is an effective
combination of soothing oils and antisep-
tic acids. 1t contains no cocaine nor
nerve destroying opiates, and, unlike
most pile salves, contains no bl-chloride
of mercury nor any poisonous, injurious
drug of any kind
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile Cure
at 50 cents for a complete treatment of
the suppOsItories.
A little book on cause and cure of piles

State Auditor Dunn has received alb
stracts Of lists of the tax levied in 1899
and due the first of the year from every
county in the state and completed a
compilation of the figures showing the
rate valuation on and of all classes Of
property The totals are as follows:
Total valuation. all classes, $685., OSS, S2S;
total taxes levied, $14,539, 2S5.
OF the total amount levied the state
will receive $2,026.774, which is somewhat
less than the year before With the ex-
ception of the year 1870 the total levy
in mills is a fraction higher than ever
before. The total tax levied for all
purposes averages for the whole state
24.S5 mills. This, however, varies from
II t. 80 mills. according to the locality.
Ramsey has rate of 225S while Henne-
pin county pays 1881 mills on all its
taxable property, with a valuation of
$50, 900, 900 in excess of Ramsey county
State Auditor Dunn's own county has
the distinction of paying the highest rate
of taxation. that of 4S.47 mills, while
Carver county gets off with II mills, or
very nearly two-thirds less. Carver
county, however, is one of the older and
We'll settled localities in the state and
it's internal improvements were paid for
years ago. On the other hand, Mile
Laos is one of the new counties, In set
tlement at least, and is paying for many
local improvements.
The valuation list of all the taxable
property IN the state while higher last
year than 1896 and 1897. Is lower than at
any time since 1892 when it was about
$50, 600 more than this year and re-
manned high until 1896, when it dropped
about $50 000,O 900. With a decrease in the
valuation asst year and an increase in
the rate of levy it is very apparent that
either the assessors figures last year
were not nigh enough or that they were
excessive up to 1896.
The tables give the total number of
acres of land subject to taxation in Min
nesota, exclusive Of town lots, as 35,-
946, S34, valued according to the returns at
$252, 1S0, 126. The average value of acre
property Is placed at STOP, running all
the way from $l.42 to $40. HennepIn
county heads the list in the matter Of
value, while Aitken acres can be bought
for 80 cents. but usually the price is
$1.42 Comparatively farm property is
assessed about where 1t was in 1898,
there being but 81, 900 increase in the
valuation.
The value of town and city lots Is
placed at $240. G95 04S. This item includes
structures, and is an increase of less
than 81, 900 900 over the figures of the pre-
ceding year, but not any ways near as
high as before the hard times. Personal
property held in Minnesota is assessed
at 1872, 80S 154, which is approximately
So, 600 600 increase over the year before.
The total tax levied. amounting to $l4,-

cry other car will run west on Minneha-

plan will necessitate the construction Of
a new single track line from the corner
of University and Minnehaha along the
last named street to Prior
There is every probability that the re-
suit of last nights meeting will settle
the street car question. for the time be-
ing, at least The street car company has
given assurances in the past of its will
ingness to give Hamline any reasonable
service, whenever the people could unan-
imOusly agree upon plan. 1t is expect
ed that the bridge over the Great North

short time. when the line through TO
Langford avenue can be opened again.
However, this branch is Of comparatively
little Importance, as there are but few
houses beyond the bridge. The new
branch running west TO Prior on Mime
haha will be a great convenience for peo-
pie living along that route. 1t was stated
by representatives from that section CT
Hamline that fully 1873 houses were locat-
ed along the proposed new route.
There was but little opposition TO the
plan, and a show of hands showed less
