MAYORS PROCLAMATION.

To the Citizens of Topeka:
In these turbulent times when there is
such a general feeling of unrest and
when strife. fire and bloodehed spread a
pail over some of our sister cities, il is
sincerely hoped that every person in To-
peka will make a special effort and take
good order and obedience TO law.
Obedience to law is the only safety for
any country or community. and it is
hoped that no excitement, however great,
may be the means of causing the viola
ton of any law in our city.
These disturbances will soon pass by
and business viii again resume its ac-
customed activity. Those who are now
out of employment viii then be needed
in their former positions. Destruction
of life or property is always to be de-
plored and regretted and it is hoped that
neither will occur here, but that our fair
city may maintain it's good name and
reputation law abiding people
T. w. HARRISON, Mayor.

CHATHAM ISLAND.
A Place where One Day In Every Week
Is skipped Regularly.

Place Where One Day In Every Week
Is skipped Regularly.
There is a small island ia the South
Pacific" said John l.. Davis, a veteran
sea captain, ''where there only app
pear to be six days in the week. This
extraordinary phenomenon is brought
about by the location of the island.
Travellers around the world are ac-
quainted with the fact that time IFS
lost while travelling east and gained
while travelling west, the difference
of time in a trans Atlantic journey
alone being about four hours had
to run into Chatham island once when
disa bled. and was amused to see the
way in which the people accepted
their fate in regard TO the jumping
Of time. This little island ia
just on the line of demarcation
between times and dates In order
to keep right with the rest of the
world it is necessary to skip from
noon Sunday TO noon Monday every
week in the year. and hence the joke
that it is possible TO spend "a whole
day at dinner without eating an
average meal The island is so near
the Antarctic region that days and
nights are altogether mixed up from
the idea of an ordinary individual.
but this plan of jumping the afternoon
Of one day and the morning of the
next so as 10 keep in line with the al
manac is some thing 50 ridiculous that
none but a seafaring man can apprc-
ciate it or understand the necessity"

RICH MEN MUST ENLIST FIRST.

Mass Meetings Demand That Men OF
Property Enter the Militia.
SAN FRANCISCO, July Mass meet
ings held last evening in this city and
Oakland, endorsed the strikers. The as
semblage in this city was a notable gath
ering. Metropolitan temple was damned
and thousands unable to obtain admis-
sion organized another overflow meeting
in the open air. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed.
Corporate monopoly was recognized
a common enemy, and every point
against the Pullman car company was
greeted with cheers. Both the president
and his advisers were scored, and every
mention of the name of Q. r. Huntington
was the signal for loud groans and
Kisses.
Many speeches were made condemn
ing George NJ. Pullman. and reso-
lutions were adopted promising moral
support to the A. r. Z.
The speakers also condemned the
Southern Pacific; countenanced the
strike; attacked federal interference in
the difficulty and demanded that the
military service of this state and nation
should be remodeled, classifying men
tit for duty in such a way that those who
have the most property shall be drafted
first into the militia and army and order
ed first to the front in time of insurrec-
ton.
