TAXES OF IMPLEMENT MEN
(County Board of Equalization Give Subject
Consideration.
I '
RAISES ASSESSMENTS OF SOME FIRMS
fWmrd AaiMior Gets Indignant at
Hearing; and Demands "flrlrac
tion of the Insinuation"
of Ilnalaraa Man.
Yesterday was agricultural Implement day
fee f ore the County Board of Equalization,
nd in the roundup a few thousand
dollars were addod to the assessment roll,,
with a slightly greater amount In proa
pact. The hearing came up on the protest
ct the Llnlnger & Motcalt company, which
complained of an assessment of $20,000
and showed the assessments of other firms
In the same line of business as reason for
a reduction. This company was repre
sented by Frank U. Haller, and the hearing
was not devoid of spice. . Mr. Haller said
that he had made a return of $14,000 on
;he stock of the company, which was one
eUth of the fair cash value of the stock
kin hand at the time of the assessment. "I
Arled to convince the assessor of the Just
mess of that return, but I did not take the
proper course," he said with a smile which
might mean anything. The assessor who
made the return of $20,000 was present
and Immediately caused a diversion by de
manding a "retraction of the insinuation."
In the discussion which followed as to the
relative value of the stocks of the different
Irompanles the assessor was ignored and re
Hired, making subdued threats of personal
jrncounlcr unless the words were with
drawn. f Wants to See the Goods.
i !Wblle this side play was in progress the
Commissioners were hearing the statements
of the Interested parties, each of whom,
teilber In person or by attorney, was pro
testing against any change In the assess
ment as returned by the assessor. Finally
i Commissioner Ostrom, chairman of the
board, auggested that as a way of determin
ing the relative values of the stocks of the
different companies the board make a visit
i to the houses. This was put as a motion
ihy another member and it was decided that
the board should make a personal inspec
tion of the various stocks In the afternoon.
This determination seemed to be unsatis
factory to all of the persons present and
they retired for consultation. As a result
;of their talk every Interested party was
ready to explain to the board how little
'good such a visit would do, as there would
be no possible way of telling the relative
'value of stocks on hand in April by their
'size at this time, and It was auggested by
' F. A. Brogan, attorney for the Deere Im
'plement company, that the parties bad
agreed upon a basis of settlement which
In their opinion would be Just,
j Action (or Some Firms.
. The board did not agree with the parties,
ifcut after a short discussion, the following
figures were adopted as final for the as
sessments of certain firms: Llnlnger &
Metcalf company, $16,000, a reduction of
41,000 from the assessor's return; John
..Deere Implement company, $14,000, an In
crease of $6,000 over last year; Pari In,
jOrendorf & Martin company, $8,000, an In
crease of $2,000 over last year, and the
'Nebraska-Mollne company, $8,000, an In
crease of $2,000. Thla was accepted by the
parties with the understanding that other
'implement dealers be cited to appear before
Ithe board and be given an Increased assess
ment In proportion to the increase made
.upon the parties present today.

SCHOOL BOARD POLITICS WARM
Hot Weather Brings t'p Temperature
of Contending Forees In Frio
tlon Over Tr.achers.
That school politics are seething at hot
weather temperature awaiting the meeting
of the school board next Monday Is read
ily seen from the following statement made
by W. F. Johnson, chairman of the High
school committee, In which he suggests
reasons for the opposition to the recom
mendations of his committee:
"I see It announced that It will be pro
posed at the next meeting of the board to
do away with all heads of departments at
the High achool and require the principal to
do all the supervising work now done by
nine or ten heads of departments. This Is
ssld to be the scheme of President Barnard
and to have as Its object to reduce to the
ranks the head ot one of the departments,
agalnet whom he has a well known grudge,
and also to put upon the principal work
which it will be Impossible for him to do,
he having an equally well known grudge
against the principal. Superintendent
Pearse favors the plan because this sup
port will make sure of Barnard's vote for
his re-election. After his re-election
Fearse has agreed with his friends and the
friends of this head of department to use
all his Influence to have him made an as
sistant principal at a salary of $150 per
month. This, of course, Barnard Is not to
be allowed to know until Pearse la safely
elected. Meantime the interests ot the
High school, the teachers and the public
may be entirely ignored."

LOOK FOR CADAVER IN VAIN
Funeral Directors Ifset with Obstaola to
Their Proceedings.
WILLING TO ACCEPT SHOP-WORN CORPSE
They Discuss the Propriety of Show
In Their Line of Caskets and
Shrouds to Prospective
Widows.
An unforeseen difficulty Is confronting the
Nebraska Funeral Directors association, in
annual session at Crelghton Medical col
lege. They can't find a fresh csdaver to be
used by the professor In his lecture on
"Anatomy of the Organs and Cavity Em
balming," which Is the firJt Item on the
program Friday morning. The county
poor farm and all of the hospitals have
been canvassed In vain and the Omaha
Medical college can do nothing to supply
the deficiency. The usual market price of
$30 for a human body In good condition has
been raised to $100 and still there are no
takers. Telegrams went yesterday to Lin
coln, St. Joseph and Des Moines, asking
the health boards of these cities It they
had any "subjects" on sale.
"Even though slightly shelf-worn," said
N. P. Swanson, chairman of the foraging
committee, "we might be able to use them.
I wish you would say In your paper that
anyone having a cadavar or who Is willing
to become a cadavar In the Interest of
science, can learn something to his ad
vantage by communicating with me."
Prof. W. P. Hohenschuh's lecture yester
day morning was on the subject, "Disinfec
tants, Antiseptics and Deodorants." He
closed with a few hints on how a funeral
director should dress for a funeral, and
how he should conduct himself. Quiet,
unassuming dignity was urged. As to dress,
a long black coat and a black tie were es
sential. Little Things Connt.
"It makes no difference," said the pro
fessor, "how well a body may be prepared,
how well It may look or how handsome a
casket It may be In, one little break at a
funeral and all that Is gone. It Is the
little things that count. Not long ago I
attended a funeral and something came
up that required the attention ot the di
rector. He was nowhere in sight. I went
to look for him, and finally found him out
In front of the house with his hands In his
pockets, chatting with a hack driver. Mean
while the mourners and the pallbearers
were worrying along as best they could."
In the afternoon the "question bottle" was
the center of attraction. It Is a large,
wide-mouthed flask, originally used to con
tain formaldehyde, but now pressed Into
service to receive anonymous questions
propounded by the members. The questions
pertain to almost everything connected with
the undertaking business. Here is a sample;
"Is it a violation of the ethics of the
craft to solicit business? For example: A
man Is ill with a disease that must end
life in say twenty-four hours. Is It a
breach of propriety for me to call his
wife's attention to my stock of caskets,
trimmings, shrouds and the like?"
Soliciting; Mar Be Right.
The consensus of opinion seemed to be
that the second of the foregoing questions
should be answered negatively. As to the
first there was some doubt. It was agreed
that. If competition was fierce, soliciting
might be permissible within certain limits.

USE SHEEP. AS LAWN MOWERS
Field Clnb Members Kxpect Clean
Shave for Their Golf
Ground.
The Omaha Field club Is to use 700 sheep
as lawnmowers. The efflracy of these ani
mals for that purpose has long been rec
ognized, but their practical application to
that end Is now to be the first time Illu
strated In Omaha. These 700 sheep will
be given four days In which to clip to the
ground every blade of forty acres of thickly
grown bluegrass and clover.
This expedient was adopted by the greens
committee after long deliberation on a
situation with which It found Itself con
fronted. Early In the spring It enclosed
the old golf course used last year and
turned the players on the new course to
the west. It was desired to get a healthy,
firm turf on the old course, which was
considerably beaten out and deadened by
much tramping over It. It was heavily
seeded, and the wet spring brought results
that were beyond all expectations. The
grass grew so heavy and thick that it
looked like an all-summer's task to mow
it, and even then It would not be thor
oughly and evenly done, an essential for a
good golf course.
In the extremity sheep and rabbits were
considered. Each has hair clipper teeth,
and either does a barber shop Job on lawns.
Rabbits were favored as being daintier
and leas destructive, but it was found
after a canvass that there were not enough
In the vicinity to do the work In time.
Then again, they would be hard to confine,
and one good glutonous dog could In a
short time annihilate the entire mowing
machine by sneaking over the fence when
the keeper was not watching.
So the sheep was chosen, and a good
big flock was arranged for, as the golfers
are anxiously awaiting the consolidation of
the two courses Into one of eighteen holes.
It Is certain that the sheep will mow the
links better than anything else, except
rabbits, and It Is not thought that the
sharp hoofs of the animals will rut the
ground any In so short a time on such a
heavy turf.
HELP. OUT ROBBER'S VICTIM

Antone Mallr, who was beaten out of all
the money be had by Jesse Adams, who
worked a bad check on him, has had his
confidence In human nature restored by the
action of Judge Berka and members of the
police department. Mallr is sick with con
sumption and was enroute to his home in
Wilson, Kan., when he was robbed ot his
means. Wednesday afternoon Judge Berka
headed a subscription paper to raise suffi
cient funds for him to go to Excelsior
Springs, there to take treatment, and with
the assistance of the police force $25.50 was
raised In a few hours. Mallr was sent on
his way yesterday and will return here when
Adams Is brought to trial In the district
court.

In almost every neighborhood someone
has died from an attack of colic or cholera

anyone to take. Chamberlain's Collo.

doubtedly saved the Uvea of more people
and relieved more pain and suffering than
any other medicine in use.- It can always

TO SURVEY THE RAILROADS
County Surveyor to Make Flats Showing
Every Line,
WORK TO BEGIN NEXT MONDAY MORNING
Three Men Eaperted to Re Engaged
on the Job for Fonr Months
Every Detail of Lines
to Be Shown.
Last evening Roy Towle returned from
a tour of Inspection ot the county msde
preliminary to the survey for the purpose
of securing exact information as to the
mileage of the railroads In Douglas county.
Monday morning the surveying party, con
sisting of three men, with Mr. Towle In
chargo, will start out on the work. Ac
cording to the plans of the county surveyor
the party will begin at the northwest cor
ner of the county, where the Union Pacific
railroad leaves the county line. The sur
vey will be run along the line ot that road
to where that line enters Sarpy county and
will be reeumcd where it again enters
Douglas county, this survey running to the
line of the city of South Omaha.
The party will then go to the northern
line of the county and follow the Elkborn
tracks to the line of the city of Omaha. Mr.
Edquist soys that he expects to survey all
lines ot road in the county outside of the
cities of Omaha and South Omaha before
beginning on the work on the city lines.
The surveyor will make hla map in the
field, the scale to be 400 feet to the Inch
on all lines ot track over the county, the
plat to show all cattle guards, all houses
of every description connected with the
roads and all cuts and fills, so that It will
be possible to determine the character of
every mile of road from the plat. Where
the plat Is to show numerous sidetracks
and other details the scale will be enlarged
to 100 feet to the Inch, to give an oppor
tunity to get every detail on the plat. It
Is expected that the work will take four
months.
As to Annual Extensions.
"After this work Is done," said Mr. Ed
quist, "the maps will only be relatively
correct, for there will be no way to tell
how much track has been constructed
after the completion of the plats. What
we should have Is a law requiring the rail
road companies to file with the county
clerk a plat of every piece of track built
by them, so that from this report we can
make our extensions on the official plats
and thus keep the plats up to date. In the
absence ot any such law I may ask the
commissioners to authorize me to make an
annual trip over the county, taking the
plats with me and placing upon them any
extensions which may be found. One of
the features of the plats will be a showing
as to the character and extent of the
bridges of the companies. This Is Intended
to give some idea of the relative cost of
the structures."
POLICE TAB00JHIRT WAISTS
Officers Will Wear Coats of Dark
Color and Light Weight
This Summer.
It Is likely that in a few days the mem
bers of the police department will discard
their regulation heavy coats and substitute
a blue or black light goods coat, something
on the order of alpaca. The shirt waist
which was worn for a while last summer
la In bad favor and will not be worn this
year. The reason for this Is that the shirt
waist exposes the officer's revolver and
gives him an appearance entirely too
vicious for this peaceful community. Chief
Donahue stated yesterday that he would
recommend to the board the adoption of the
light coat, and if the weather continued
warm he would do so at once.
Chilaren Like It.
"My little boy took the croup one night,'
