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.

keep himself and Samuel I. Gordon In the
public eye. He baa bobbed up In the caae
of tbe state against John Htnnlnga with a

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."

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

A long table haa been brought Into the

Below are given some of the returns made
this year by tbe assessors, together with
the assessment as finally fixed by tbe

History Repeating; Itself.
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.

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. Further be says
in his opinion the city would be going to
needle expena to appeal to tbe tuprem
court- Tbe report was referred to the
finance committee.
Along In the legal Una City Attorney
Murdock called tbe attention of the council
to tbe fact that three cases were on the call
In the supreme court and be asked tor as
sistance, aa be bad brought the suits
agalnat the elty. 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.

School Board Meets.
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. All teachers who have been elected
so far are requested to notify the chairman
of the teachers' committee at once whether
they will accept the positions tendered
them or not.

County Assessment Completed.
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.

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.

BEATRICE NIGHT AT THE DEN
Party is Small on Acconat of Political
Convention In Home
City.
"Beatrice night" was a decided success
at tbe den of Ak-Sar-Ben Monday night, de
spite the fact that a very interesting polit
ical convention which will be pulled off
at the capital of Gage county kept a largo-
numoer or tne prospective visitors at work
building fences and pulling wires rather
than visiting tbe court of Ak-Sar-Ben VIII.
The evening was one of the most satis
factory of the season and tbe announce
ment of the "It" near the close of bis
address to ths effeot that the number of
members from the city Is now In excess of
400, breaking all previous records for the
second week of June, added much to tha
pleasure of the company. M. A. Hall, the
grand mufti, was not present during the
early part of the evening and bis place
we acceptably filled by J. H. Daniels, who
played the part to the satisfaction of all.
The speaker of the evening was F. E.
Sanborn, who waa loaded with facts and
figures of speech of the subject of the
Auditorium, whose walls will shortly ap
pear above tbe ground and whose corner
stone will be laid this month.
Other speakers were Frank Dunlap, wboso
Impersonation of famous characters were
received with rounds of applause, and Hon.
John Jenkins,' consul to Salvador, who for
several minutes entertained tbe members
with stories of bis experiences as Uncle
Sam's handy man at the scene of disturb
ances seismic and governmental.
The games which followed the enroll

and furious. F. J. Hoel and J. M. Glllan.

hurry and maintained It from start to fin

another new man, whose bands were some
thing phenomenal. It wss neck-and-neck
between tbe leaders from the beginning of
tbe games, except when the large hands of
Mr. Bralley threw bim somewhat forward
of the ruck. C. C. George was picked as a
winner by many of the men, but those who
played tbe favorites. Hoel and Glllan, came
in for a large shara of tbe dough which
fell to the lot of those players whose abil
ity to capture tbe circulating medium of
the merry monarch's realm was something
which challenged admiration and defied
emulation.
The board of governors previous to the
meeting at tbe den decided that there would
