state Development Associ alton.

w. N. Mason and Henry IT, Clarke. of
Omaha, representing the State DEVELOPMENT
association, We're in the city to-day, at
tempting to interest the people of Lincoln in
the work of the association, which is to ad-
vertise the resources and advantages of Ne
braska among the farmers of the east, to the
end that the unsettled portions Of the state
may be peopled by that class OF citizens.
These gentlemen met the president and sec
retary of the Lincoln beard of trade and
other citizens at the Office of Atkinson &
Doty, where the subject was discussed ut
length. 1t Is learned that the meeting was
emnently satisfactory to all present, and
that plan OF action has been taken under
advisement. The citizens of Lincoln are
taking lively interest in the movement,
and it is thought that the efforts of the asso-
citation will be highly successful.

is kept at the Hohenzollern museum at Ber-

friends. The collection was begun by Will

Drowned in salt Creek.

Word reached the city this morning about
o O'CLOCK that man had fallen from the
bridge over Salt creek, near the Burlington
round house, and drowned. Reports differ
very materially as to what caused him to
fall from the bridge. Two boys, who claim
to have been eye witnesses, state that he
simply lost his balance and fell. William
Field, fisherman, who was on his way
home at the time, says that the man was
nearly across the bridge when switch engine
93, with several coaches, came along, and
that the step on the rear coach struck him IN
the breast and knocked him into the creek.
Cliff Heagy, man named Conk-
lin and seven train men were also witnesses
OF the accident. They were on the train, or
near by when the unfortunate man was
knocked into the water AS soon as possible
some of the men secured bell cord and
threw it to TO the sinking man, but not one
of the party was brave enough TO make an
effort To save him by going into the creek.
The chances are that the man was uncon
scious when the cord was thrown TO him and
therefore powerless to help himself. In any

THE ST. Louis Republic, which is one
OF the foremost advocates of taking the
next democratic candidate for the
presidency from the west, makes an in
teresting calculation as to what the
strength of the several sections may be
in 1892. Assuming the population of
the country to be sixty millions. the new
ratio OF representation, the membership
of congress remaining. as at present,
would be fraction over one hundred
and eighty-four thousand. On this basis
the Republic figures that the congress
sional strength OF the northeast, includ-
ing the states east of the Alleghenles
and north of the old line of slave terri
tory, would be reduced five MEM
bers, that of the old slave territory
would be increased six members, while
that of the west, including all the
states between the Alleghenies and the
Pacific ocean, would increase its con-
gression IL strength by gain of twenty
two members, the representation of
Nebraska being doubled. Upon these
figures, which will probably prove to be
not far out of the way, the Republic re-
marks that they are an eloquent protest
against the stupidity of any attempts to
force the west to the rear, and the
party that does not keep its foothold in
the west will loose foothold in national
DOlitics

SOUTH OMAHA MUST ANNEX.

The South Omaha annexation move
ment is making no headway very fast.
But it must and will come to q head
within the next six months. South
Omaha needs fire protection and she
cannot have it until she has an unfail-
ing water supply with fire hydrants at
convenient points on all her streets.
With debt that is now in exoess Of her
legal limit South Omaha cannot raise
the money to pay for fire hydrants and
water mains. She IS in no condition
even to buy fire engines and fire station
houses. What is true OF the water
supply is also true of needed
public Improvements. ALI the grading
she can get now has to be done at the
expense of the county. She could not
float paving or sewerage bonds at any
price, because she has more bonds
already out than she had any right to is
sue.
Annexation, therefore, has become an
absolute necessity. Up to this time the
most influential element of opposition
to annextion has been the liquor
dealers. So long as they can
carry on business under five
hundred dollar license they
naturally would oppose any scheme
that would compel them to pay one
thousand dollars. But the bottom will
drop out of this opposition presently.
The Slocumb law requires a charge of
not less than one thousand dollars for
liquor license in all cities over ten
thousand population andin all cities OF
the first class. BY the new charter en-
acted by the last legislature South
Omaha was made q city of the first
class. No license to sell liquor can
legally issue in South Omaha for less
than one thousond dollars.
Asa matter of fact, the dealers who
each be compelled to pay the additional
| five hundred dollars into the South
Omaha school fund, if the city or county
attorney should decide to enforce the
strict letter of the law. ~
Now that the saloonkeepers of South
| Omaha will have to pay the
same license fee as those in Omaha
they will have no interest in opposing
| annexation.
| The other element of opposition. the
packing house and stock yards owners,
| can readily be pacified. The only OBJ
iect they have is to avoid paying city
taxes, and they can scarcely save much
under the existing conditions of South
| Omaha government.
