MAYORS PROCLAMATION.
Flags Placed at Half Mast and City
Offices Closed.

It is my painful duty to announce
that Col. Cyrus K. Holiday, the founder
and father of the city of Topeka, died
at his home in this city March 29, 1900.
Since the city was organized, December
5, 1854, Col. Holiday had devoted him
self with sincere devotion. untiring
energy and with wonderful success to
the upbuilding of Topeka. He held many
positions of public trust and for three
terms filed the office of mayor with
credit to himself and honor to the mu-
nicipality.
Now, therefore, I, Charles J. Drew,
mayor of the city of Topeka, do, as a
mark of respect to the memory of Cyrus
E. Holiday, request that the flags over
the public buildings be lowered to half
mast and hereby order that all public
offices of the city be closed on the day
of the funeral out of respect to the
memory of Cyrus K. Holiday.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
city of Topeka to be affixed this 18th
day of March, A. D. 1900.

HIS LIES STORY.
Col Holidays Struggle to Found a
City and q Railroad.

The following sketch of Col. Holiday s
work was written since his death has
been in anticipation:
Colonel Holiday vas born near the
town of Carlisle in the state of Penn
sylvania rs years ago. In his boyhaod
he moved to Wooster, O., but afterward
returned to and was graduated from
MeadviIle college. His roommate and
one Of his classmates was William B.
Allison. the senior United States sen
ator from Iowa.
In 1854, after the passage of the Kan
sas-Nebraska act Mr.. Holiday with
others prepared to come to Kansas, and
early in 1855 they arrived, settling at
Lawrence Mr.. Holiday was then 81
years old, and at once assumed rank
and leadership in the little community
He was so well thought of that the fort
the people of the town made to defend
it against attacks of the pro-slavery
men was called Fort Holiday.
After the adoption of the Lecompton
constitution and the establishment of
the territorial capital at Lecompton Mr.
Holiday, confident in spite of pro-
slavery successes that the territory
would become a free state, persuaded
some friends to go further west with
him in search of the site of the future
capital. They first stopped at Tecum-
sch, then a pro-slavery settlement, and
stating their plans, sought to form a
partnership with Judge Elmore, John
Martin, Stinson and others who owned
the townsite, but could not make satis-
factory terms.
Proceeding west six miles they found
Enoch Chase, who afterWard became
the father-in-law of S. J. Crawford
since one of the governors of Kansas
established in a trading post on the
river front of what is now the townsite
of Topeka. It was easy to effect an ar
rangement with Chase, for he had all
to gain and nothing to lose. So obtain

but as he felt his head, he knew he had
been hit.
The blood had eaked hard on his neck

out his handkerchief and bandaged his
wounds as we'll as he could
His pipes were safe; he could feel the
reeds lying over his knees. He bent to
grasp them
He was tormented with an awful
thirst. His water bottle was still in
tact, and he raised it to his lips. Still
the thirst continued.
He sat up and considered. Where was
his company? Where was the captain
and mis- lieutenant-the young laird who
bore the same name as he bore? He
would go to them. So he went.
He rose up, and reeling, fell. He rose
again. and once more came down. Then
he crawled.
There were groans and curses and
sobs from the darkness. and sometimes
a wild yell tore the night asunder. There

they would recommend that the pris-
oners be put to work on them; that
Main street be paved with stone from
the church known as the Parroquia to
the end of the square on which the
court house Is situated.
They would also report that there is
complaint made by the prisoners that
they do not get sufficient to eat which,
upon investigation, the grand jury find
is owing to the fact that the allowance
made by law is insufficient to procure
the necessaries of life, at the present
high rate at which provisions are SELL
ing in the city, and if there is any way
of increasing the allowance to them
they would recommend that not less
than so cents per day be allowed to each
prisoner.
The grand jury would further report
that they find that the prisoners are
sometimes hired to citizens to work.
They would recommend that the pro-
ceeds Of such labor be appropriated to
the buying Of blankets, cooking utensils
and other things necessary and useful
to the prisoners. J. w. FOLGER,
