with the passage by the legislature Of
Representative Lees consolidation bill each
side to the controversy in South Omaha
takes occasion to express satisfaction. A
small delegation of the observation-disclosures
was in Lincoln Tuesday TO keep watch OF
proceedings and 1t has returned rather
jubilant over the final form of the bill.
This bill, as known, submits the proposi-
ton to a vote of the people of South Omaha
and Omaha on demand Of ten per cent of
the voters by petition. Morgan Heafey'
one of the anti-annexationists, said;
THAT is what we want. We will defeat
the proposition IN an election"
On the opposite side there was quite as
much assurance expressed. One man said:
1T Is plain to me that South Omaha will
be ready for annexation within two years.
The sentiment is equally divided at present,
All II needs ls for the people to watch the
way things are going at present in city
affairs to bring them to a decision. 1

c. f. Scarf said the vote Of annexation
will be a large one.
Il am here to say that It will be formid-
able enough to make those who are OPP
posed to the measure hustle for all they
are worth. They do not want to go to

]. j. Breen laid:
"A great dissatisfaction prevails at pres

unsafe TO submit the matter to vote, II
the Identity Of the city were to be pre-

Hunting in Haclkberry-Osceo has a few
nimrods who have written their names
with an indelble pencil on the history OF
the state of blackberry and also made a
few footprints on the sands Of time in the
vicinity of VIII Mickey's homestead. Hav-
ing heard that blackberry is rich in coon
and other fur bearing animals the first
squad of the first platoon of the homo
guards went forth to investigate. Colonel
West, recently Of Shelby had command OF
the squad, which consisted OF julie Ludden,
Jimmy Farris and the two Foxes. Frank
and Burren. They marched in column OF
fours, route step, until they arrived In the
coon country when the practiced eyes OF
Colonel West soon discovered a mock OF
coon tracks leading to the base OF large
tree at the top of which was a hole where
the coons played hide-and-seek with the
hunters. A council OF war decided that
Colonel West should ascend the tree and
smoke the coons out but owing to atmos-
pheric conditions which prevail at regular
intervals in blackberry It was found that
smoke wouldn't travel downward. At this
tuncture Colonel West conceived a STRAIT
agem the like of which was scarcely
equalled by the crafty Ulysses IN his de-
vice of a wooden horse by the use Of which
the Greeks captured Troy, nor by any
other wooden device which the wooden
heads have evolved all down through the
ages. He took of his hunting blouse,
which IL a three-quarter cross between a
gunny sack and yellow journal and tied
the neck OF II shut and stretched II across
the hole. and then by blowing q few whihs
OF cigar smoke in below he bagBed the
whole bevy OF coons. Imagine the con-
sternstion that prevailed the next moment
when the sack was opened and found to
contain a few timber squirrels and a passed.

going down Madison avenue the two

reaching their destination they were
about tied. The steamer with smoke
