CALL TO SCHOOL CHILDREN.
October 2lst to be Observed as a
General Holiday, to Fly the
National Flag.

President Harrison, complying
with the Act of congress of june
29th, has issued his proclamation
making Friday, October 81, a gen.
eral holiday. This is the recogIi'
ton of the movement to put the eel
ebration of the 4OOth anniv ersary OF
the discovery of America into the
hands of all the people by giving ii
to the institution closest to the peo-
pie and most characteristic of the
people-the public school.
The movement undertaken by the
National Education Association,
through an executive committee,
which has so presented it as to gain
the endorsement Of the press and
general popular acceptance in ad-
vance of this proclamation. The pro-
clamation is as follows.
"WHAREAs, by joint resolution
approved June 30, 1892, it was re-
solved by the Senate and House of
Representatives ofthe United States
of America in Congress assembled,
That the President of the United
States be authorized and directed to
issue proclamation recommending
the people to the observance in all
the Localities of the 4OOth anniversary
of the discovery of America, on Oct.
2l, 1892, by public demonstration
and by suitable exercise in their
schools and other places of assembly.
Now therefore, l BENJAMIN Harri-
son, President of the United States
of America, IN pursuance of the
aforesaid joint resolution, do hereby
appoint Friday, October 81, 1892,
the 4O0th anniversary of the discov-
cry of America by Columbus, as a
general holiday for the people of the
United States. On that day let the
people SO far as possible cease from
toll and devote themselves to such |
exercises as may best express honor
to the discoverer and their appreci-
alton of the great achievements of
the four completed centuries of
life. Columbus stood in
his age as the pioneer of progress
and enlightenment. The system of
universal education is in our age
the most prominent and salutary
feature of the spirit of enlighten-
ment, and it is peculiarly appropri-
ate that the schools be made by the
people the center of the days de-
Let the national flag
loat over every schoolhouse in the
and the exercises be such as
'hall impress upon our youth the .
patriotic duties of American citizen {
ship. In the churches and in the
,ther places of assembly of the peo-
lie let there be expressions of graf
tude to Divine Providence for the
levout faith of the discoverer and
or the Divine care and guidance
which has directed our history and :,
o abundantly blessed our people. I
In testimony whereof have here a
INTO set my hand and caused the a
cal of the United States to be affix-
ID.
Done at the city of Washington @
his 2lst day of July, in the year of Ii
'ur Lord one thousand eight hun
red and ninety-two, and of the in =
ependence of the United States the
ne hundred and seventeenth. Is

THE FALLS MILL.

This is one of the old land marks of Hook
inc. The Falls was a camp ground for Gov.
Dunmore, nearly one hundred and fifty years
ago. The Falls proper, the cataract beginning
ut near Enterprise and ending just above the
railroad bridge, was determined by govern :
ment engineers. at forty feet.
This water power attracted the attention
of old Gov. WOrthingtop, who "took up" the
land and built a mill here in 1917. This mill
was for a generation the only accommoda-
ton for the farmer for n circuit of nearly fifty
miles.
The mill burned down in 1850. The prop
erty passed into the possession of the Denver
Brothers ard C. w. James. who built the
present mill, which since 1850 has been the
property of Judge Robert Wright.
The Falls Mill has always been famous for
Its flour. The grinding Is by the buar, a pro-
cess whereby the germ of the grain, the most
nutritious element, is preserved in the flour.
For the last three years MIR. James Poland
has had the mill leased. and by his care and
prudence and thorough knowledge Of the
business, has maintained its high and envi-
able reputation.
Custom work is made q speciality. Wheat
is bought for cash or exch lnged for flour
Grain il not taken in storage.
The -four from this mill Is on the open
market, and If your grocer does not have it,
order from the mill.
The patronage of the general public is in
yited and satisfaction guaranteed.

Knute Nelson. whom the Republicans
have nominated for Governor of MINI.
esota, became famous by a speech he
made in Congress in 1888 advocating
a lower tariff: He declared that he
would put free salt, free sugar and free
lumber against free whiskey and free
tobacco, and so would the American
people" 1t was thought at the time that
the speech would make him unpopular
among his constituents, but it seems to
have had the opposite effect.

an incident that occurred in the old Shoe.
maker opera house several years ago. A
minstrel company was booked for the even
ing and in the audience was a young man
who is now one Of the most prominent bust
ness men Of the town. When the curtain
went up the "burnt Gorkers" were seated in
the usual minstrel crescent style. The in
terlocutor opened the entertainment by re-
questing one Of the end men to sing. The
end man refused to do So When asked his
reasons he said he would not sing until he
received his last weeks salary. Coaxing
failed to have any effect and battle Of
words followed. Finally the whole company
arose and was about to leave the stage APP
parently disguised when our townsman
shouted, "Go on with the show without him"

circled the audience The "corkers" re-

In some unexplained manner fence on
Apple alley between Chestnut and Catherine
streets, caught fire Saturday night and the
high wind whipped the flames into threat

women promptly pulled the fence down and
quenched the flames before much damage was
done and an alarm was unnecessary. Later
fire was discovered in a winter shauty on
South Pear alley. Some boys had left a
lighted miners lamp in the place and it set
fire to some rubbish. This fire was also
promptly quenched Fire was very much
dreaded Saturday night by the people.
