AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
OaicehO1ders' Platoon Returns from
Lincoln a Sorry Look
ing Lot.

very much despatched and bedraggled
crowd was the appearance Of the home
coming delegation from Lincoln last night.
They arrived at the Burlington depot at
$3.50 amid the downpour of rain. Its chilli
Ing effect practically drowned out the ex-
cessive exuberance of the morning. Few
of the crowd were prepared for the rain.
AS soon as the train pulled in the excur-
sionists dispersed in the darkness and
hurried to the comfort of their homes. The
incidents of the return trip were few and
all efforts having been expended the hilarity
was confined to very few in the coaches
allotted to the men, who had seen too much
of the effervescence of the capital city. All
the carryalls and carriages of the city
were pressed into service to take the people
home. The carryals made several trips
from the depot to the street car line, where
the people could take the cars.
Around town there were many signs to
show that the question of annexation was
not dead. The annexationists were freer
to talk yesterday than ever before. The
fact that the ants claimed so much and
boasted of their overwhelming influence
acted as a stimulents on many hitherto
silent people who favored the cause of
annexation. Thomas Toy, resident OF
South Omaha and well known as one OF
the employees about the Douglas county
court house, said: They may say all they
please but they never can convince me
that the union of the two cities is not
good thing have seen a lot of both cities
and they ought to be under one govern
ment. The expression of sentiment by the
delegation yesterday counts for little

T.. G. Inghram, enc of the republican
candidates for the Board of Education,
yesterday sent In the following communica-
ton defining his views on the present
situation. He addresses his remarks to the
republican voters:
"Since the voters have made the issue
and rightfully demand to know the views
of the various candidates to be voted for
in the primary election of next week,
wish to say that am in favor of any move
to eliminate the personal antagonism from
our school administration. Our schools de-
mand and we have the right to expect the
combined effort of a full board to place
and keep them in the rank where they oi
right belong. Where faction of two
members is arrayed against two of another
the management of affairs is in the hands
of the one who is left. He may not con.

ton of children as we should do. To elect
a candidate in favor or against any per
son or faction is to continue the strife
and contention indefinitely. If elected,
shall regard the interests Of our 1000 schoo
children above that of any party. person
or faction and shall direct my action will
this view in mind. II such things NEE
your approval, l solicit your aid at thu
polls to help elect board of Ave uniteC
members. T. G. INGHRAM."
