The leader of tho i annexationists for the evening was Bruce I UcCullough, an old residont and well ! known cltlsen fronv the east side. A. M. pallagher also ably defended the causa Of the antra. A large turnout was present and all the avaJlabl seats were full. All In all the nvettng h characterised by a most fair and temperate feeling. Mr. MoCullough declared that one reason for the proposed legislation for annexation without a vote was that the city officials would naturally fovnr the retention of the goyernment here and would not grant fair nern In the elections. This was cloarly evidenced from the fait that the council at one of Its last meetings, had called a ma meeting of the cltisens not to dis cuss the -question of annexation, .but to. .oppose It. Therefore, that' meeting was ' by no means a representative body, for the simple reason that the advocates of annexa-. tlon were left out by the nature of the call. ' Only antl's were present and, of course, no public opposition to the action of that meeting could find expression. The same would be the attitude in the election time, lie continued the discussion by citing the manifest extravagance of maintaining two sets of city officials. He declared that South Omaha never Would have the strong and progressive public spirit that would be had If it were placed fifty miles away from the metropolis; but this is not the case In Its present condition. It will be continually sapped by the Influence of the big city on the north. There are no big Churches, no big theaters such as might supported. There are no big hotels and f.ever will be. All these things find th:ii Bitural base In the ' larger city. South Omaha Is therefore practically only a par. or limb of the larger city. The big clt now has no chance to Induce large manu factures to oome here for the reason that it cannot lend any material assiet.nc. by the granting of favorable franchises or arranging favorable conditions between tho coming lndusttles with the railroads. When It shall be . able to do this Its pr;.mlBM will go a long way farther toward lna'icln& new Industry than the promlss of the lesser city here. The taxes of the t.vo cities are the same to all intents, and tht bonded Indebtedness Is not materially dif ferent. South Oir.aha has practically reached the limit of Its borrowing capacity as the lack of any premium on Its bondst testlfl"..

' Judge Troup handed down a decision In the Missouri avenue Injunction case un favorable to the city of South. Omaha, He gave It as his opinion that the city had no vested rights under which to carry out the paving of the street. He was also of the opinion that In the semblance of a con tract between the city and Hugh Murphy there were so many Irregularities that It was void and the clause which sought to give the city the right to complete tho contract was likewise void and It could Sit -be maintained that Mr. Murphy hnl broken his contract when no contract ex isted. Therefore a permanent injunctlor. was Issued against the further acts of' tho city looking to the completion of the pav-liiK- The city attorney is considering two plans. One Is an appeal to tho supreme court In the matter and tho other Is to a'.t the state legislature to pass an en abling act whereby the city or Mr. Murphy may procbt with the work. When asked If he would again undertake the work If e legislature should pass an act as- sug Tir.ted, Mr. Murphy referred the matter ,1 his attorney, Mr. Connell, and made no vromUes. The appeal will be a slow pro ,&!. On the other hand. If an entirely new contract and new procedure Is attempted I "i'.a will require much time also. Convlctloa for liaising; Lid. Joseph I.lnkowskl, Twenty-seventh and J st.-eots, was found guilty by a Jury of fivo Ten of selling liquor contrary to tho stat utes, having dispensed the same on Sunday. Tills is tbo first conviction by a Jury ever rendered in a South Omaha court on a M(;uor case. The case was heurd last week, 'ut one cf the Jurors was 111 and was ex ,'tiscd befuro coming to a verdict. They vtr reconvened yesterday aternoon and iund the saloon keeper guilty.
