erty owned are used in the interest Of
all the members. Each society is con-
trolled by board of trustees, one Of
whom acts as executive. The property
Of each society is held and controlled
by the trustees, who have power to
make investments and carry on all
transactions in regard to it.
Celibacy Causes Decease.
The society of Shakers has In the
last few years decreased membership.
ALI the members now in it are old,
the age ranging from sixty to eighty
five years. Years ago the membership
was much larger, but owing to one of
the tenets of the sect, which requires
all members to live in strict celibacy,
the society has fallen off in numbers.
The requirements imposed for adj
mission to membership are also very
rigid. An applicant must come with
the very best of recommendations,
must satisfactorily prove that he or
she is possessed of moral integrity,
strength of character and is free from
vices of all kinds. The applicant that
is received is placed under probation
for term of four years before adj
mitted to membership. The effect of
these regulations has been to retard
the growth of the society.
Operate Vast Holdings.
The members of the society are re-
quired to perform labor of a kind for
which they are best suited. The So
ciety owns farm at Lebanon, in
Warren county, Ohio, thirty miles
north Of Cincinnati, which is 1900
acres In extent, and on this farm the
members are employed in all kinds of
agricultural pursuits
Brooms are manufactured in great
quantities on this farm. Another farm
near Dayton, Ohio, Of $50 acres, is
owned by the Shakers. The farm at
Lebanon was settled by a small body
of Shakers in 1906 and it has remain
ed in the hands Of the society, with
many extensions, ever since.

Members Of the state board of equal
ization express the opinion that the
valuation of goods and merchandise
owned by st. Paul merchants will be
increased 10 per cent, and possibly
more.
The valuation as returned by the as
SCISSOR of Ramsey county on goods and
merchandise in Ramsey county was
$4,545 956 this year, while the valuation
as fixed by the state board of equaliza-
ton last year, was $4,586,534. This is
a decrease of $40,500, and the members
Of the board are not at all backward
in expressing their views on the ques-
ton of pushing up the valuation.
This year the valuation Of personal
property in Ramsey county, as returned
to the state board, is $15,951,1S3, as
against $17,511, 304, fixed by the state
board last year.
Hennepin Makes Good Showing.
In Hennepin county the valuation Of
goods and merchandise is returned this
year at $5,187707, an increase of $685.
600 over the amount as fixed by the
state board last year.
The personal property in Hennepin
county this year is returned at $685.
167,043, as against $24,S41,740 for last
year.
Yesterday the state board put in the
day going over the schedules of per-
sonal property and fixed the valuations
on the following basis:
Wagons, carriages and bicycles and
sleighs, $11 and up; sewing machines,
SIS and up; melodeons and organs, $15
and up; pianos, $40 and up. There
was no change made in the valuation
of watches sand clocks, the figures re-
turned by the assessors from each
county being allowed to stand.
Furniture Values Boosted.
The item of household and Office
furniture was increased 20 per cent In
Ramsey county and so per cent in Ben
ton, Murray; Cook, Carver and Swift
counties.
Members of the board favor the idea
| Of advancing the valuations a little
higher than last year on all kinds Of
personal property and on goods and
merchandise an increase of 10 per cent
will surely be made.
The franchise question will not be
taken UP by the board until the last of
next week.

CHILDISH PRATTLE
IN HIS DYING EAR
As Tot NestIes to Fathers Breast,
John Norien Expires on
Stair Landing.

Papa, are you sick?" asked little
Clara Norien, as she caressed her
father, who sat at the top of the stairs
leading to the second story of his
home.
John Norien was SICK and as the
child kissed and Rugged him he slow
ly died.
His head fell on his breast and his
eyes closed. He did not answer his
little daughters question, and failed
to return the loving caressses.
The child thought her father was
sleeping and got him a pillow on
which to rest his head. She told her
mamma how papa" had fallen to
sleep while he was talking to her.
Mrs Norien investigated and found
her husband dead. Little Clara was
in his arms when death came.
Norien was thirty eight years OF
age and lived at 713 Jessanine street.
He was born in Sweden. For the past
six months he had suffered from apo
plexy, which caused death. Coroner
A. w. Miller was called, but decided
there was no cause for an inquest.

The rural choir in one Of the up
country villages, which has become
somewhat of a summer resort, had
been success for many years. But
this season, in order to impress the
"city folks" it was determined to in
troduce some improvements. The old
er members of the congregation OPP
posed this, but the young people won
a partial victory, and it was decided
that one song at least should be sung
in up-to-date fashion. All would have
gone we'll had not the choice Of hymns
been unfortunate. In this particular
hymn the line occurs:
And bow before Thy throne"
According to what the conservative
members called in disgust "neW-fan-
gled notions" the tenor and soprano
were to hold the notes on this line I'M

New Law Entails Debt.
Where an election ordinarily costs
the city $4,000, the last, with the ad-
dition of the primary election, footed
up over $4,000, and there are still some
bills outstanding. Those in a position
to know say the new primary law has
saddled an annual debt Of nearly $15,-
600 year on the city.
The heaviest cost is for judges and
clerks, the cost of which for the last
city election amounted to nearly $12,-
600.
Previous to the primary law judges
and clerks received $40 and S. respec-
lively. Now the figures are $500 and
$3.50.

One consequence of the advance is that
small foundries are threatened with ruin
