DISPUTE OVER PART OF SWAG County Attorney at Ftrat Refuses to Help Police Keep It train Lawyer. County Attorney Shield and Captain Her of the police department had a little brush yesterday morning aa to whether or not the county attorney should Interfere In the disposition of 150 or the l?v alleged to have been stolen in Omaha from Axel Bunderaon and now held by tba police for Charles Parker and John Miller, who are In the Council Bluffs Jail charged with the theft, the money being held aa evidence agalnat them. After aevaral lively tilt over the telephone the county attorney agreed to end a deputy to Council Bluff and advise the officials there to keep all the money after flrst flatly refusing to Interfere. ' Early yesterday the police received a telephone message from the police of Coun cil Bluffa that an attorney of that city had secured an order from the prisoner for $00 and bad presented It to the desk aergeant for payment. The latter refused and the attorney returned with an order from the police Judge for the money. The police re fused to comply wit'n this order and tele phoned the Omaha police for instructions, fearing, abould they persist In refusing to recognise an order from the police Judge, they would be In contempt of court. County Attorney Shields waa Informed of this, together with tha fact that Monday Detective Dunn took Bunderaon to Council Bluff, and the latter had not only Identi fied tba two men aa thoea whom be shared bis room the night of the robbery, but he had alao Identified tbe money, and the de tective bad requested the Council Bluff official to bold the money aa evidence. County Attorney Shields Informed the po lice that It waa none of bi business to In terfere, and a be waa not a collection agency be would advla Bunderaon, If be desired the money, to employ an attorney and replevin It. Later, however, and after repeated demands bad been made upon him tbe county attorney announced that ba would eend a deputy to Council Bluff In the afternoon to ear what could be done. AGAIN IN THE PUBLIC EYE Jadgr r.ller Oaoe Mere Insists that Gordon la Real Police Judge. a 3. W. , Eller ba found another way to keep himself and Samuel I. Gordon In the public eye.

SPEAKS FOR MARRIED WOMEN One Mem her Pays Reheat Board Has Ha Right ta Dlscearege Matrlaioay. Ha tbe Board of Education a right to dlacourag matrimony, thereby working In opposition to Mayor Moore' matrimonial bureau? A minority of the board, at least, earn to think not. "I believe," eald a member yeaterday, "that If a teacher wa retired for the sole reason that she waa married that (be could mandamus the board to reinstate ber and that she would win out la the court. The board, or any other body for that matter, ba no right to pas a rule that will dis courage matrimony, snd If tbey do tbe court will not uphold them In It. The Board of Education I not a charitable in stitution; It I not a part of It duty to In quire Into what I done witb the money paid It employee. It waa created to aecure efficient service In the city school, and If thl service can be rendered by a married woman better than by a slngl woman, then It ia tbe duty of tbs board to employ the married woman."

INCREASE IN VALUATION NOT YET KNOWN Coaaty Cesnaalasloner Organise ae a Iteeees latll Taarstay, bat Boeke Are Open. It' ap to tbe County Board of Equaliza tion. The assessors have turned in their book, but the page of the latter do not disclose to a casual observer that tbe assessment as proposed Is much nearer a fair one than was that of last year. Soma at the court house assert that there 1 a million-dollar tat In the total valuation of the county, and other that thi raise amount to ten million Instead of one, but corroboration of either statement Is lacking and will be until the force In the tax department can check up the books and foot tbe re capitulation tables. ' Tbe commissioners sat as a board of equalization yesterday morning for the first time and organized by electing Mr. Ostrom chairman. Adjournment was taken until Thursday, but the books are open to in spection from now -on and any so desiring may examine tbem and Die protests at any time. A long table haa been brought Into the commissioners' chamber expressly for the convenience of those with troubles to tell. The telephone company was much In evi dence Monday, but yesterday the cal lers were mostly from the residence dis trict of the Ninth ward and few, If any, from the corporations. Tbe corporations appeared to feel serene In a consciousness that they were In the bands of friends. Comparative Rctarns. Below are given some of the returns made this year by tbe assessors, together with the assessment as finally fixed by tbe Board of Equalization for last year. It should be borne In mind that this Is for personal property and that the assessors are supposed to return a figure represent ing one-sixth of the fair value of the prop erty listed: Assessors' Board's Figures, Figures, '1901. 1901.

Some of the members of the board laughed a superior and scornful laugh when tbey looked over the books Tuesday and they Implied that the raise the asses sors bad made over last year' figure was ridiculously small. But they laughed that same way last year and they made those same kind of remarks. Then tbey went further snd hinted broadly and grandly of Increasing the corporations' aasessments i,uz,ta2. -men tney got together In a closed room for a few hour with one Thomas Hoctor and when they came forth again tbe 11,112,652 bad dwindled to 1169,- 172, and a prayerful public was Invited' to go throw eggs at Itself. Tbe Bee resurrected some previous au tnorized Interviews that sounded strsnge In tbe light of later events, whereupon cer tain member of the board emitted flame and smoke from their nostrils for three days and wouldn't speak to the reporter for three weeks. There was an abundance of wounded dignity about the chamber and rrequent assurances from Hoctor that "everything bad been on tbe square." Another Deal Likely. Hoctor Is not on the board now, by re quest of bis constituents, and some other members are to face the musio this fall, so that there seems a possibility of a differ ent course being pursued. Connolly, who Is still In the east, fought the corporations openly and In full sight of the grandstand laet year and be has promised to perform the same stunt this yesr. O'Keeffe came onto the board pledged to save and to make for the county whatever and when ever be can. Hofeldt said, after the result was announced last year, that bo "held out as long as be could, but It did not do any good." Ostrom announced some weeks ago that be proposed to fight for a general raise all along the line to one-sixth of fair value. Harte, as ever, is Just burning to do something for the dear people. And yet, with all these favorable conditions and at these assurances, people about tbe court bouso are reluctant to predict that the assessors' returns will look much differ ent after the Board of Equalization is through with them three weeks hence, and the public will not throw Ita Jaunty cap high in air until It baa been given Missouri satisfaction. It' always cool at Courtis nd Beach. South Omaha News The appointment of two member of tbe Board of Review was the feature of the council meeting last night. Under the law the city treasurer appoints one member of the board and tbe mayor tbe other. Treas urer Howe named John F. Bcbults and tbe appointment was confirmed without com ment. Then the mayor named A. L. Berg quiet, and this appointment was confirmed by a vote of all of the members. The Board of Review will meet and sit for four days commencing on June It and equalize tbe returns made by the city tax commis sioner. Attorney Lambert made a report of four cases be had tried for City Attorney Mur dock in the dlatrtct court. Owing to the fact that Murdock bad brought these cases agalnat tbs city prior to tbe time be was selected as city attorney be asked for a special appropriation. Tbls was grantsd by the council. In bis report Mr. Lambert say that In tbe four caae decree for the plaintiff against the elty was entered. He then went on to explain the defect In the city' side of tbe case.

The finance committee will report upon the matter when It get around to It. Mayor Koutsky and some of the members of ths council think that Mur dock should pey these expense himself. Broderlck offered a motion to tbe effect that all druggist be compelled to take out Ucanae at one. But aa the druggist for year paat ar familiar with such order, and a tbey never bare been compelled to comply with the law. Uey aay tbey will not go out of tbalr way te do o now.

Elaborate plan are being made by the Board of Education for the expenditure of the money now in tbe city treasury which wa brought In by tbe payment of saloon license. At last night's meeting of the board a motion prevailed directing the building and ground committee to ad vertise for bid for a sit tor an sight room building. Thl building is to be erected between Twenty-third and Twenty-fifth streets on the east and west and P and W streets on the south. This means an expenditure of a large portion of tbe board's revenue and the movement wss not favored by all of the members, although there has been a constant demand for more school room. A. L. Davis was employed as architect of the board for another year on tha former terms. Tbe report of Expert Chlzek did not favor the old board or Its secretary to any alarm ing extent, a mention wa made of the fact that erasures bad frequently been made. Morrill suggested that In the fu ture no supplies be purchased except upon an order of the supply committee, at least two members signing tbe order. Tbls wss agreed to. .Henceforth all teacher will be assigned by tbe superintendent Instead of by tbe teachers' committee of the board. A request will be made that teachers at tend summer schools wherever It Is prac tlcable.

The county assessor completed their work laet night and today return, will be made to the county commissioners. As each of the assessors employed from three to four deputies during the time alloted by law for the work it was impossible last night to secure any figures, and so no comparison with the county assessment of last year can be made at this time. Some of the assessors assert that portions of property have been raised, but a compar ison cannot be made for a day or two. Exchange Meets.

THEY DEMONSTRATE ACME OF EMBALMING Opening: of Nebraska Fnneral .Dlrec tera' Association Convention at Crela-hton Medical College Mayor Welcomes Delegates. Among tha grewsome exhibits at Crelgh ton Medical college, where the Nebraska state funeral director are in session, ar two buman cadavers, which have been treated with a peculiar kind of embalming fluid. Mr. Curry Carroll, the exhibitor, says he has been carrying tbem around with htm for three years. They are not beautiful to look upon, being somewhat sunburned, and of tbe color of tan shoes, yet they are comely enough a corpse go. About a year ago Mr. Carroll forgot these "subjects" and left them in hi room at the hotel, to tbe terror of the chambermaid and the indignation of the proprietor; since then be ba always kept them on display with his chemical and appliances. These bodlea are euppoeed to demonstrate the acme of the modern embalming art, which, according to H. Rider Haggard, Is a lost art. In his novel. "She," be speaks of ths perfection acquired In this line by the Amahagger of central Africa several thousand years ago. Here Is a sample passage: It (a human foot) wn light, much lighter, I should say, than it had been In the living state, and the flesh, to all appearances, was still fresh, though about It there hung a faintly aromatic odor. For the rest, It was not shrunk or shriveled or even black or unsightly, like the flesh of Egyptian mummies, but plump and fair, and, except where it had been slightly burned, perfect as on the day of death a very triumph of embalming. Today the members o ftbe association will go to tbe public library, there to In spect soma of the Egyptian mummies re ferred to by Hsggard. Unfortunately, no samples of tbe Amahagger mummies are to be secured. Another Wlerd Property. Another wlerd property of the under taker' craft is what is called a telescope lowering device. A hundred yesr sgo this would bave been voted a machination of the devil and the funeral director using it would have been tried for witchcraft, but now It Is regarded as a very neat labor-saving contrivance. Its office Is to lower a coffin into a grave. Heretofore tbls work wss don by from four to six men, who slowly played out straps passed underneath the casket until tbe box touched tbe bottom- it it was not upset In the process. The lowering device does Its work alone. The pallbearers "perform the last sad rites for tbe dead" by placing tbe casket upon th atraps, then step back five feet or more from tbe pit, the director touches the spring, tbe choir chants the dirge and slowly and silently the coffin sinks to its laat resting place. There Is something almost uncanny In the function of the machine, but It is said that its action is capable of scientific demonstrstlon. As to ths other exhibits, they consist mostly of beautifully upholstered casket. crepe door bangers and funeral looking coats, shirt fronts, bodices and the "large white cravats" that Captain Ben King wrote about. The cordial alliance which exists be tween the undertakers and the doctors was demonstrated by the convention being held In a medical college. There, at I: SO Tueeday morning, the large lecture room waa filled with members of ths association and thslr wives from all part of tbs state. Among th Delegatea. Conaplcuou in tb gathering wer E.
