an, dressed very gracefully and decently,
and amid the rich jewelry with which she
was adorned, the thali was displayed some
what obtrusively. I took her to be the
member of some highly respectable family
but was surprised to learn that she was a
deva dassi (hand maiden of the god, and
was, in fact dancing girl attached TO
the temple. There is a special caste Of
these women, who, as soon as they grow
out Of girlhood, are taken to the temple,
and, with much ceremonial formally mar
ried to a sword or a god, the thali being
tied round the neck by some man Of the
caste. This class is sometimes recruited
from girls belonging to the Boyas, Beda-
urus and certain other castes who, in
the absence of male issue, dedicate a
daughter of some deity, who, they believe
will give them sons.

THE BRIDAL NECKLET
From the London Telegraph:

From the London Telegraph:
In many parts Of India, Hindoo girls are
welded. not with ringa but with neck
let, of thaN. At the wedding of the daugh-
ter of a leading native at Moulmein there
were present among the numerous guests
a Hindoo maiden and her lover, whose
| suit had not so far progressed to his sat-
| isfaction. While the wedding ceremony
| was in progress the young man went up
to her, and, before any one suspected what
his object was, pulled out a thali from
his pocket, and quietly tied IT round her
neck. OF course, there was a hubbub
| and parental lamentations over the epis-
| ode, but so great is the. generation for the
| thali among Hindoos. that no one dared to
| remove it from the neck Of the astonished
maiden. All concerned, therefore, repaired
| to the Marianne Temple, where the act
was ratified, and the maid who went to
| the wedding Of her friend fancy free left
the scene as the legal wife of a bold and
| successful husband. A correspondent
writing to the Pioneer on. the general use
| Of the thali says: 49,,
IT was the guest Of a Christian family
of position in South India which had so
far departed from the ordinary rule which
prevents women. from appearing before
strangers that the mistress of the house
had deputed her young daughter-in-law to

had not the slightest objection to its be-

NO RIGHT TO
STRIKE IT OFF
RAMSEY COUNTY BOARD HELD TO
HAVE EXCEEDED AUTHORITY.
Cannot Remove Assessment from Rolls,
According to Attorney General -
N. P. Million Dollar Assessment Oh
Credits Must Be Reinstated Ruling
Has Wide Application.

State Auditor S. G.. Iverson received
an important opinion today from L. L.
Dickson, assistant attorney general
Under the ruling made, the auditor of
Ramsey county must restore to the tax
rolls an assessment of 100000 made
against the Northern Pacific under the
head of Credits
This amount was returned by the as
SCISSOR to cover mortgages and land CON
tracts held by the railroad. The com.
pany claimed this was offset by bonded
Indebtedness, and on this claim the
county board Of equalization struck the
item off. The question arose as to the
authority of the board to wi pc out the
assessment.
Mr.. Dickson holds that the action
was without authority, illegal and void
and the board had no authority to make
an abatement The county auditor
should disregard the action and put the
$l,OOO,0OO back on the assessment rolls
The company is likely to fight the as.
sessment in the courts.
The ruling also calls attention to a
statute, which says that county boards
either real or personal property to an
amount less than the value returned by
the assessors. The action in this case
left the Ramsey county assessment be.
low that taken by the assessors; SO it
was void for that reason. - :
Mr.. Iverson will call this statute to
the attention of other county auditors
In several counties this year the total
returned by the assessors was decreased
by the action Of the county board, thus
violating the law. Such action was
void, but it has since been corrected by
the state board. The only concern of
the state auditor is to see that this does
not happen again.

Trader Forgets His Dues and Loses

AS result of the caucus held yester-
day afternoon and half dozen unoffi-
cial caucuses at the clubs and down
town hotels last night, lively election
was on this morning at the Chamber of
Commerce. 1t broke out where least
contest between E. s. Woodwork and
Peter B. Smith for the presidency. In
stead, Mr.. Smith, whose business inter-
ests take up his time fully, expressed a
desire to remain as vice president, and
Mr.. Woodwork was nominated without
opposition.
The fight was against G. F. Eve, who
for reelection. F. G. Holbrook was
nominated on the opposition ticket.
MIR. Eve In his capacity as director
has had some delicate questions to
handle, and in constituting and applying
the rules he has not escaped creating
opposition.
thf jS SS4 t Of Mr. r Eve were busy
stand by him. Mr.. Holbrook was in
active. He had made no effort for the
nomination, and was willing to stand
or withdraw as might best serve the
interests Of the Chamber. His support
ers had not been idle, however, and
when the polls opened the regular and
opposition tickets had been printed and
ardent supporters Of the candidates
gathered lunches Of proxies at great
trouble to themselves, only to find that
proxies were ruled out.
One man, worth probably million
dollars, was disqualified from voting,
having forgotten to pay his dues.
So anxious were the members to sup

have their votes challenged, and money
flowed into the secretary's office in a

pleaded guilty Of grand larceny, and
were fearfully awaiting sentence. After
the preliminary questions the judge gave
the culprits a severe lecture, sentenced
them to the reformatory and suspended
sentence, pla cling them under care of the
probation officer.
The story of the boys misdeed is un-

MAIN BUILDING
BOARD OF REGENTS TOOK ACTION
THIS MORNING.
Proximit yof Library and Law Build
ings Make It Impracticable to Erect
a Large New Structure on Site Of the
"Old Main Faculty Changes To-
day.

The new "main building' at the
university will not be built nthe site
Of the old structure. This announce
ment was made after the meeting this
morning of the board Of regents. The
proximity Of the library and law build
ings to the site Of the cold main -
makes it impracticable to erect a large
building there. The matter of plans for
the new building was referred to the
committee on building.
In addition to considering the di-
lemma in which the university has been
placed by the recent fire, the regents
attended to several important matters.
The dental course was shortened from
four to three years, change which is
in accordance with recent movement
among the dental schools Of the coun-
try. -:
DR.. William A. Schaper, formerly
assistant professor, was made profess
sor Of political science.
The vacancy in the medical faculty
caused by the death of DR.. James H.
Dun, professor of surgery, was filled by
the appointment of Dr. J. E. Moore
and DR.. J. E. Schadler of st. Paul will
succeed w. S. Laton as professor of
the diseases Of the eyes and throat.
The resignation of DR.. L. B. Wilson,

accepted and DR.. Wilson was made an

$l2,O00,0OO IN IRON ORE
ST. LOUIS COUNTY PROPERTIES
STAND MOST OF INCREASE IN
ASSESSED VALUE,

The assessment of real estate in Min
nesota, as finally fixed by the state
board of equalization, is, in round num-
bers, $66O,0OO,000. The last assessment,
made, in 1902, was $647 ,253,261. The
increase is practically all accounted for
by the. $l2,O0O,000 added to the valua
ton of the iron ore properties in st.
Louis county. The total personal prop
erty assessment this year will come
close to ,$17O,00O,Oo0, while the assess
ment OF last year was only $156, 729, 1896.
The assessment Of the Western
Union Telegraph company for Mime
sofa was once more fixed at an even
$l,OoO,OO0 by the board yesterday after
noon. This same value has been fixed
for the past three years, but the COM
pany is contrasting payment of the tax
in court on the ground that the valu-
alton is excessive. Thru it's attorney,
G: M. Ferguson, the company this year
admitted the first cost of property in
Minnesota to be $1,9oO,00O, and some
members of the board wanted to fix
the valuation at $95OOO0, or just half
that amount, but State Auditor liver
son objected on the ground that this
might inlure the stateis case.
Fifteen of the eighteen members of
the board left on their St. Louis jun
ket last evening, and will return to
finish the work Of the board Monday.
