SOUTH OMAHA, Dec. H.-To the Editor
OF The Bee: / see that none of your ad-
vocates for annexation are willing to sign
their own names. II annexation will be such
a good thing l do not see why Mr.. Fisher
and others who do not sign their names
are afraid to do so. l would like to ask
you some questions and would like you to
reply in The Bee
Most OF the people of South Omaha live

city II we are annexed to Omaha none
or us will be much II any less than five
miles from the center of business In

How will It benefit the people of South

II we are annexed, It is very likely that
the South Omaha High school will be

the case, how will It be of benefit to people

thousands OF dollars a year in street car

ment of the cases of contagious diseases
fer the present year and made also a COM
parson with the previous year. Up to the
present day there have been sixty-hve
cases OF diphtheria, f1fty-six cases of scar
let fever and seventeen cases of smallpox.
This makes a total Of 1873 cases OF con-
tagion. In 1906 there were twenty-seven
cases of diphtheria, forty cases Of scarlet
fever, eleven cases OF smallpox and one
case OF measles reported. This gives
total for the year OF eighty cases. There
were, therefore, ffty-eight more cases OF
contagion reported this year than in 1906.

Both Of the young people are we'll known
and respected in the city. Miss Moore Is
member of the Presbyterian church and

Bachelor Girls club, and she was the first
to break the vows OF that organization.
The wedding was very simple and only

Hans Peterson was brought to the Jail
Wednesday evening by his friends and
booked under the charge Of insanity. He
was completely irrational. The friends left
him there. In about two hours or more
he came to his sense and told the jailer
that he had been engaged in an encounter
at one Of the packing houses and that his
opponent had struck him heavy blow with
his fist which was the direct cause OF his
ALTERATION OF mind. The peculiar thing
about the affair was that not one OF
the several friends who helped bring him
to the jail told what was the cause of
his condition. The man might easily have
died without medical attention from the
effects OF the blow. When he arrived at
the jail there was nothing to indicate that
he had been struck. but about the time
he came to his sense his face began to
swell from the effects OF the heavy blow
he had received. When the doctor finally
made the examination he was Of the opin-
ion that the man would suffer no serious
consequences from the blow. The man who
struck him is unknown, both 10 the victim
and to the police.

to s: The Athletic Association had
everything in readiness and
opened the evening performance
by few selections from the
orchestra, followed by a basket
ball game by the girls. They
showed the benefit Of good train
ing in their excellent passing..and
team work.
After a slight preliminary
practice, both teams we're called
to position by Referee Schrnitz
who proved an excellent official.
During the first five minutes of
the play neither side scored, but
by accidental shot one basket
was made, and it seemed easily
after that for both teams.
The Ross team had lightning
speed but the fine overhead
passing by the Lansford team
overcame their speed easily.
The Lansford boys are attempt
ing to arrange for a game with
Minot about March q, and if
they meet q fast game Of ball
