County Attorney Shields and Captain Tler of the police department had a little brush yesterday morning as to whether or not the county attorney should Interfere In the Alsposition’ of $50 of the 9240 alleged to have been stolen in Omaha from Axel Bunderson and now held by the police for Charles Parker and Johm Miller, who are in the Council Bluffs jall charged with the theft, the money belng held as evidence against them. After several lively tiits over the telephone the county attorney agreed to send a deputy to Council Bluffs and advise the officials there to keep all the momey tly refusing to Interfere. Barly yesterday the police received a telephone message from the police of Coun- ell Bluffs that an attorney of that city had cured an order from the prisoners for $50 and had presented it to the desk sergeant for payment. The latter refused and the attorpey returned with an order from the police judge for the money. The police re- fused to comply wiik this order and tel phoned the Omaha police for instructions, fearing, should they persist in refusing to recognize an order from the police judge, they would be in contempt of court. County Attorney Shields was informed of this, together with the fact that Monday Deiective Dunn took Bunderson to Council Bluffs, and the latter had not only identi- fled the two men as those whom he shared his room the night of the robbery, but he had also identified the money, and the de- tectives had requested the Council Bluffs officials to hold the money as evidence. County Attorney Shields informed the po- lice that it was none of his business to in- terfere, and as he was not a collection agency he would advise Bunderson, it he desired the money, to employ an attorney and r in it. Later, howeve: nd after repeated demands had been made upon him the county attorney announced that he ‘would seend a deputy to Council Bluffs in the afternoon to see what could be done. AGAIN IN THE PUBLIC EYE Ju Eller Once More Insists that Gordon is Real Police J J. W. Bller has found another way to keep bimself and Samuel I. Gordon in the public eye. He has bobbed up In the case of the state against John Hennings with u plea in abatement, grounded upon the con- tion that Judge Berka, who bound Hen- nlogs over to the district court, is not the real police magistrate, but a pretender to the throne of Gordon the Sticker, and that therefore he (Berks) had no sutbority to bind anybody over.

It is even told that when a tardy deputy arrived st the jail the other morning at 2 o'clock in a driving raln and pounded for admittance patient Mr. Hen- plngs jumped out of his bunk, remarking: Im “I expect it's Judge Bller come to take me 18to court for something or other.” SPEAKS FOR MARRIED WOMEN One Member Says School B, No Right te Disconrage Matrimony. Hae the Board of Education a right to discourage matrimony, thereby working In opposition to Mayor Moores’ matrimonial bureau?

INCREASE IN VALUATION NOT YET KNOWN Receas Until T Books Are O 1t's up to the County Board of Bqualiza- tion. The assessors have turned in their books, but the pages of the latter do not disclose to a casual observer that the assessment as proposed Is much nearer a fair one than was that of last year. Some at the court- house assert that there is a million-dollar raise in the total valuation of the county, and others that this ralse amounts to ten millions 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 the re- capitulation tables. The 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 them and file protests at any time. A long table has been brought into the commissioners’ chamber expressly for the convenlence 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. The corporations appeared to feel serene in w consciousness that they were in the hands of friends. Comparative Returns. Below are given some of the returns made this year by the assessors, together with the assessment as finally fixed by the Board of Equalization for last year. It should be borme 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' Boara's Fl‘\lrel.

Some of the members of the board laughed a superfor and scornful laugh when they looked over the books Tuesday and they implied that the ralse the asse sors had made over last year's figures wi ridiculously small. But they laughed that same way last year and they made those same kind of remarks. Then they went further and hinted broadly and grandly of increasing the corporations’ assessments $1,112,652. Then they got together in a closed room for a few hours with one Thomas Hoctor and when they came forth again the $1,112,652 had dwindled to $159,- 172, and a prayerful public was invited to 80 throw eggs at itselt. The Bee resurrected some previous au- thorized interviews that seunded strange in the light of later events, whereupon cer- tain members 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 frequent assurances from Hoctor that ‘“‘everything had been on the square.” Another Deal Likely. Hoctor is not on the boatd now, by re- quest of his constituents, and some other members are to face the music this fall, 60 that there seems a possibility of a difter- ent course being pursued. Connolly, who is still In the fought the corporations openly and in full sight of the grandstand last year and he has promised to perform the same stunt this year. O'Keeffe came onto the board pledged to save and to make for the county whatever and when- ever he can. Hofeldt said, after the result was announced last year, that he “held out long as he could, but it did not do any g0od.”” Ostrom announced some weeks ago that he proposed to fight for a general raise all along the line to onme-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 al] these assurances, people about the court houso 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 its jaunty cap high in air until it has been given Missour! satisfaction. g 5 Z It's always cool at Courtland Beach. o 5 L S e e South Omaha News. The appointment of two members of the 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 the mayor the other, Treas- urer Howe named John F. Schultz and the appointment was confirmed without com- ment. Then the mayor named A. L. Berg- quist, 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 15 and equalize the returns made by the city tax commis- sioner. Attorney Lambert made a report of four cases he had tried for City Attorney Mur- dock in the district court. Owing to the tact that Murdock had brought these case: against the city prior to the time he wai selected as city attorney he asked for a special appropriation. This was granted by the council. In his report Mr. Lambert says that In the four cases decree for the plaintiffs against the 2ity wi then went on to explain the city’s side of the cases. Further he says in his oplnlon the city would be going to needless expense to appeal to the supreme court. The report was referred to the finance committes Along in the legal line City Attorney Murdock called the attention of the council to the fact that three cases were on the call in the supreme court and he ed for as- sistance, as he had brought the suits against the city. The finance committee will report upon the matter when it gets around to it. Mayor Koutsky and some of the members of the council thiak that Mur- dock should pay these expenses himseif. Broderick offered a motion to the effect that all druggists be compelled to take out licenses at once. But as the druggists for years past are familiar with such orders, and as they never have been compelled to comply with the law, they say they will not go out of their way to do so mow. Councilan Queenan directed that the clty attorney draft an ordipance for the appolntment of a boller inspector. Only union labor is to be used In the re- construction of No. 2 fire hall. Some bills and a few minor claims were pald and then the council adjourned for one week. Scho Board Meets, Elaborate plans are being made by the Board of Education for the expenditure of the money now In the city treasury which was brought in by the payment of saloon licenses. At last night's meeting of the board a motion prevailed directing the bulldings and grounds committes to ad- vertise for bids for & site for an eight- room building. 'This bullding is to be erected between Twenty-third and Twenty-fith str the east and west and P and W streets on the south. This means an expenditure of a large portion of the board's revenue and the movement was 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 the former terms. The report of Expert Chizek did not favor the old board or its secretdry to any alarm- Ing extent, as mention was made of the fact that erasures had 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 the order. This was agreed to. . Henceforth all teachers will be assigned by the superintendent Instead of by the teachers’ committee of the board. A request will be made that teachers at- tend summer schools wherever it s prac- ticable. All teachers who have been elected 80 far are requested to notify the chairman of the teachers' committee at once whether they will accept the positions tendered them or not. Republicans Select Delegation. Republicass met last night and selected a delegation to attend the state conven- tion at Lincoln to be held on Junme 18. These are the delegates: E. L. Gustafson, Harvey D. Mosely, F. A. Agnew, Joseph Koutsky, John Keegan, Frank Lee, Fred Martin, George Johnson, George B. Sher- wood, Edward Ericson, John Melntire, George Houseman, Jeft Cooley, J. H., Van Dusen, Harry Kelly, John Troutan, C. F. Dennie and B. E. Wilcox. Junior Commencement, The commencement exerclses of the pre- paratory and eighth grade pupils will occur at the Methodist Eplscopal church tomorrow evening. Dr. W. O. Henry of Omaha will deliver the class address and the certificates will be presented by Pres- ident of the Board of Education Miller. Over 100 puplls will enter the High school through these exercises. One of the pleas- ant functions of commencement week will be the reception of the senlor class to- night by the junlors. The reception will be held at 1429 North Twenty-fourth street and preparations are being made for an elaborate affair. Y. M. C. A. Booming. The present condition of the Young Men's Christian assoclation s the most prosper- ous in its history. The assoclation now has an enrolled membership of over 400 and new applicetions are being daily made for membership. The question of new rooms for their accommodation Is belng agaln agitated and some definite action along this line will be probably taken at the mext meeting of the board of directors. Miller Filling Holes, Street Commiseioner August Miller and his force are at work filling up the ex- cavations made by the recent heavy rains. It is the intention of Mr. Mfifer to 81l up all of these places and thus prevent dam- ®ge suits against the city for personal injurfes. Some bad washouts were made. County Assessment Completed, The county assessors completed thelr work laet night and today returns will be made to the county commissioners. As each of the assessors employed from three to four deputifes during the time alloted by law for the work it was impossible last night to eecure 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. The South Omaha Live Stock exchange met yeésterday afternoon and transacted considerable business of importance to the members. Some changes In the arrange- ments in the marketing of hogs were mado and then the question of membership fees was taken up. The price of a seat on the exchange is now $1,000 and the under- standing is that when a member who holds a certlficate dies the membership stops. In lieu of turning the memberships over to the estate the heirs will be paid the cost of the seat. This mew arrangement, it is Magic City Gossip. I C.

Among the grewsome exhibits at Creigh- ton Medical college, where the Nebraska state funeral directors are in session, are two human cadavers, which have been treated with a pecullar kind of embalming fluld. Mr. Curry Carroll, the exhibitor, says he has been carrying them around with him for three years. They are not beautiful to look upon, being somewhat sunburned, and of the color of tan shoe yet they are comely enough as corpses go. About a year ago Mr, Carroll forgot these “subjects’” and left them in his room at the hotel, to the terror of the chambermaid and the indignation of the proprietor; since then he has always kept them on display with his chemicals and appliances. These bodies are supposed to demonstrate the acme of the modern embalming art, which, according to H. Rider Haggard, is @ lost art. In his novel, “‘She,” he speaks of the perfection acquired in this line by the Amahagger of central Africa several thousand years ago. Here is a sample passage: It (a human foot) was light, much lighter, I should say, than it had been in the Tving 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 fthe association will go to the public library, there to In- spect some of the Egyptian mummles re- ferred to by Haggard. Unfortunately, no les of the Amahagger mummies are to eured. Another Wierd Property. Another wierd property of the under- takers' craft is what is called a telescope lowering device. A hundred years ago this ‘would bave been voted a machination of the devil and the funeral director using it would have been tried for witcheraft, but now It Is regarded as a very neat labor-saving contrivance. Its office is to lower a coffin into a grave. Heretofore this work was done by from four to six men, who slowly played out straps passed underneath the casket until the box touched the bottom— be Boston for a three weeks' visit with friends. Henry C. Murphy is back from Minne- apolis, where he went to attend the con- vention of Eagles. Miss Jean Rln’.er has gone to California in hopes that the change in climate will benefit her health.

The bearers ‘“perform the last sad rites for the dead” by placing the casket upon the straps, then step back five feet or more from the pit, the director touches the spring, the choir chants the dirge and slowly and silently the cofin sinks to its last resting place. There s something almost uncanny in the function of the machine, but it is 1d that its action is capable of sclentific demonstration. As to the other exhibits, they consist mostly of beautifully upholstered caskets, crepe door hangers and funeral looking coats, shirt fronts, bodices and the “large white cravats” that Captain Ben King wrote about. The cordial alllance which exists be- tween the undertakers and the doctors was demonstrated by the convention being held in & medical college. There, at 9:30 Tuesday morning, the large lecture room was filled with members of the assoclation and their wives from all parts of the state. Among the Delegates. Conspicuous in the gathering were E. Ratnour of Weeping Water, A. H. Fellows of Humboldt, Ed Liviagston of Harvard, Brown of Superlor, N. P. Swanson, Burket and Harry B.

Ada is at home with her people and Christensen has made no effort to gain possession of her. BEATRICE NIGHT AT THE DEN Party is Small on Account of Political Convention in Home City. “Beatrice night” was a decided success at the den of Ak-Sar-Ben Monday night, de- spite the fact that a very interesting polit- ical convention which will be pulled oft at the capital of Gage county kept u large’ number of the prospective visitors at work building fences and pulling wires rather | than visiting the court of Ak-Sar-Ben VIIL. The evening was one of the most satis- factory of the season and the amnounce- ment of the “It” near the close of his address to the effeat 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 his place wea acceptably filled by J. H. Danlels, who played the part to the satisfaction of all, The speaker of the evening was F. E. Sanborn, who was loaded with facts and figures—of speech—of the subject of the Auditorium, whose walls will shostly ap- pear above the ground and whose corner- stone will be laid this month. Other speakers were Frank Dunlap, whose Impersonation of famous characters were received with rounds of applause, and Hon. John Jenkins, consul to Salvador, who for several minutes entertained the members with stories of his experiences as Uncle Sam's bandy man at the scene of disturb. | ances seismic and governmental. The games which followed the enroli- ment and the principal address were fast and furious. F. J. Hoel and J. M.
