DECLINES TOCONFER
WITH SUPERVISORS
District Attorney Brown Ignores
Request of Chairman
Mitchell
Says He Laid Down the Law to
the Board and Can Hold
Out No Hope

OAKLAND, April The conferences
which Chairman John Mitchell OF the
board Of supervisors hopes 10 have
with the district attorney regarding
the financial situation OF the county
will be futile. and the suggestion is
idle. in the opinion of District Attorney
E j. Brown. who said today:
Il can not see the use OF holding
conferences with the board about the
county treasury. / told the board the
law on the subject some. time ago
and the finance committee Of the hoard
can never forget the law as I ex-
planned II then
II can't put any more money into the
county treasury" Brown continued. and
they know It, and the matter is square
ly up TO the board itself. Whether
we have another deficit or not I have
done all I could and said all pro-
pose to say and no member OF the
board can get around it,"
Brown referred to his stand on
Juggling funds IN the county treasury
which has upset the board and rem
dered their former methods inopera-
tive and unreliable Chairman John
Mitchell admitted as much yesterday
when he said Brown was different from
all former district attorneys. though he
hoped to straighten matters out by an
other conference. Mitchell has net
had the conference and Brown said in
advance that nothing of comfort would
come to Mitchell or other supervisors

condition of the county treasury If IL

CATION has reached the conclusion that
the most accurate method of assessing
real estate is based on the sale value.
The commission worked on several
theories. assisted by statistical experts

this extract from its report:
Purchasers are presumably actu-

any other element SO indicative of

has discovered"
The commission further says that as

Wants to Levy Assessment.

Receiver Randall of the defunct Ne
braska Mutual Mercantile Insurance
company of Omaha. asked Judge
Stewart to levy an assessment against
the policy holders. The sum OF 81. 200
is due from the company.
According TO Randali's report. the
liabilities Of the company mount to
$1l .G4O.6O and the contingent liabilities
$3.O12.23. The cash on hand amount
ed to 1884 and the unsold furniture is
valued ut $40.
On o of the large number of
stockholders in the company. it is be-
lieved that if all of them could be as
seSsed to make good the liabilities. the
amount of the assessment on each one
would be comparatively small. hut the
receivers report states that it has
been found upon investigation that a
considerable number of stockholders
either have removed from the jurisdic-
ton of the court or are insOlvent. This
will materially increase the assessment
levied Oh the solvent stockholders
within the jurisdiction of the court.

covery.

It is a dreadful thing to live in the
house with a thief. and worse not to
know who the thief is. Dorothy and
Mabel had tried over and over to
solve the mystery. There seemed to
be no solution to it. The mystery was
this: One day in the winter a cousin
of Mammals. a very beautiful young
lady, had come to visit at the house.
When she was dressing for dinner,
she ~carelessly left a valuable ruby pin
on the dressing table. After dinner
the pin vas no there!
Such a hubbub as Cousin Gladys
created. She cried and cried and al
most had Mysteries, for the pin was
her most cherished treasure. 1t had
been given her by her grandmother.
whose grandmother had in turn given
1t to her, SO you see it was very, very
old and valuable.
1t was out of the question to accuse
either Maria or John of dishonesty.
for they were as honest as the day is
long. Duke had been the soul of hon.
or ever since he had been an inmate
Of the hOuseh0ld-and what would q
small fox terrier want of a large ruby
breastpin. anyway? Topsy had denied
any knowledge of the affair: they
could not suspect her. She might have
been guilty of stealing a piece Of fish
or a mOuse-but what would a cat
want to steal rubies for?
The only possible solution was that
some one had entered the house while
the family was al dinner. stolen the
pin and gone of without being seen.
II there had only been footsteps in the
now to trace the thief-but there was
no sign.
So the matter was dropped entirely.
