The Annexation Question
There is a strong nnd rapldly Increasing
sontlmcnt In Omaha favorable to annexing
thu sister suburb on tbo south Tlio ques
tion Is springing into prominence ns uovor
before nnd has become a leading topic ot
conversation It Is enthusiastically dis
cussed hi stores , ofllccs and club rooms , nnd
so fnr ns can bo learned there are exceed
lngly feW who cau bo heard to
ay a word against tbo project
• J'bo bright , practical and nggrcsstvo
arguments made in its behalf seem to bo
legion , whllo the few scattering ones in op
position como sluggishly , nnd seemingly are
pointless
Mayor Cushing , being asked last evening
what ho thought of the matter , said i The
two cities nro now consldored by the outsldo
world ns ono , nnd tlmo nnd ngaln whllo out
ever the country , in various cltlos , I hnvo
hoard people talk of Omaha nnd South Otn
uha in u manner such as plainly Indicated
they thought thom under one nnd the snmo
city government It Is only a question
whether now or Inter is the time to make
thom ono My opinion Is that the sooner
they nro nnnoxed tbo hotter It will bo for
tbo people of both places South Omaha's
debt may bo blggor after avvhllo thnn It Is
now I think likely wo could mnko u go of It
any tlmo "
Councilman D. II Wheeler , after empha
sizing the facts that tbo larger tbo popula
tion the greater and bettor the
credit which could bo obtained lu
the eyes of the world , nnd the
greater nnd moro ndvnntngo the cities would
obtain united , sold : The moro net of an
nexation would uot involve any stupendous
soriesjof negotiations All there would bo to it
is simply this for each city to pass an ordi
nance setting forth the provisions for an
nexation , and each city vote on the question
Each would ascortalu the amount , of Its In
debtedness nnd assets If there is n
Inrgor proportion ot lndcbtodncss tn
ono than In tbo other , the city
having the largest Indebtedness would bo
assessed proportionately , and tbis must bo
contlnuod until the inequality has been
wiped out In ether words , each city con
tinues , even nftor the annexation , to remain
responsible for its own debts Inm most
certainly in favor of annexation Would tbo
packing houses in South Omaha have to niovo
outside of the limits for the reason that
Omaha does not allow such institutions
within her boundariesf Most cortnlnly not
The pnekintr houses could remain right
where they are , just r was the case when
Chicago did her annexing The nackors
hoio will probably kick aealnst the scheme ,
just as these tnkon into Chicago did ,
but , just like the Chicagonns , they will
find themselves inside tbo charmed circle
as sure as they live , I think , tbo uoxt morn
ing nftor tbo election "
Mr Whltlock , superintendent of buildings ,
remarked of the Idea : "I do not see how
anybody can doubt its excellence Yes , it
would most certainly bo fine for Omaha , line
fnr South Omaha I have good reasons for
thinking tbat with the exception of a few
down tbora tbo South Omaha people are
heartily in favor ot it "

thn Idea tbat the physician nnd the plumber

mon object being to mnko this world more
comfortable , The doctor said thnt during the
last hundred years the nrt of plumbing had
reached its present high state ot perfection
and that the longovlty of tbe human rnco
had been greatly lengthened , which fact has
been attributed to the lncrcaso in snnitnry
knowledge Tnls knowledge tbo doctor
thought , was duo to n largo extent to the
plumbers
Passing to anotlior branch of his topic ,
the doctor expressedtbo Idea that the in
spection of nil plumbing In dwellings should

AMUSEMENTS
Lovers of good music certainly enjoyed a
fine treat at tbo Grand opera house last
night They not only llstonod to some very
clever singing , but had the great picasura of
applauding most excellent violin playing by
tbe Mendelssohn Qulutotto club of Boston ,
which appeared in conjunction with nnd
under the auspices of the Apollo club at Its
second concert of the season A largo , fush-
iouablo aud ion co ( tiled the house nnd rap
turously applauded nearly every nuir.bor on
the well solccted programme Extonslvu in
dividual montlon might bo made of the nr-
tlsts but it is enough to say thnt slnulv and
collectively they gave outlro satisfaction ,
and leave behind thom n favorable impres
sion However , Mtss Ellzaboth Hamlin , who
accompanies the quintette as a prima donna
soprano , calls for such distinction as may
bo uccordod her lu u speciul reference
to the fact tbat she has a charming
voice and handles it to bettor advantage than
most conceit singers . The two selections
given by her , Carl Mnna Von Weber's "Der
Froischuotz" nnd She Wandered Down the
Mountain Side , " recclvod heurtv encores ,
thus showing that the fair vocalist succeeded
easily lu pleasing tbo nudionco Mr Mux
Dodges violin solo was also highly nppre-
elated ; also Mr Wllhulm Obligors nriort ,
Souvenir do Moscow , " n funtasio foi the
violin , and likewise Mr Paul Henuebery's
iluto solo The Apollo club alternated with
each number ullbted to the quintette with
such harmoniously musical selections as "A
