FLAG DAY PROCLAMATION.
Governor Calls for Observance of
Anniversary on June IA.

LINCOLN, Neb., June 9.-Governol
Savage issued the following procla
nation, designating June IA as Flag
| day:
In accordance with a precedent set
| by me one year ago, and in pursu
ance of a custom that is becoming
| established among the states of the
union, l, Ezra P. Savage, governor OF
| the state of Nebraska, do hereby pro-
claim Saturday, June IA, 1902, Flag
day, and | do respectfully recommend
that the day be observed by all patri-
in their judgment best promote the
object to be attained
The foregoing date is the 125th an
niversary of the birth of our nation
al emblem. Let this and each sue
ceeding anniversary be natal day. a
day for patriotic exercises and good
cheer on the part of all.
Well may we look upon our flag
with respect and reverence. 1t is o
symbol of freedom, of peace, of jus.
tice. 1t represents more power
more charity, more Christianity,
more patriotism, more chivalry and
more of the nobler instincts of man
kind than the flag of any other ma
ton. 1t is stained by no national
dishonor; it bears no mark of broken
faith. Whether in the smoke of bat
tie or in the sunshine of peace,
whether at home or abroad, it is on a
mission of mercy and enlightenment
always. It is honored and respected
throughout the world because it is
the embodiment of virtue and because
it is a guaranty of good faith every
where and at all times.
Patriotic exercises of the character
contemplated are intended to bring
the American people, particularly
those of the rising generation, in
closer sympathy and to a clearer I'M
derstanding of the real signification
of the emblem of the nation. 1t is
not so much that they shall rever-
ence their mute symbol of sovereign
ty as that they shall have a clear
understanding of what it represents.
To this end l earnestly request that
the day be observed in a proper man
ner by the children of the public
schools and by patriotic citizens gen
orally.

FRANKLIN ALMOST BURNED UP.
Fire Sweeps Away Over Half the
Business Part of Town.

FRANKLIN, Neb., June IA most
disastrous fire occurred here. Two
entire blocks. consisting of fourteen
business houses, with most of the
stocks of goods. are a total loss.
The origin of the fire was in the
Peterson meat market. starting in the
basement. When discovered, about
1920 p. M, it was very small blaze,
but the smoke was so dense it was
impossible to save the building.
In less than thirty minutes five
buildings were a mass of flames. This
was on the east side of Main street
at the south end and a heavy wind
was blowing from the south. Every
indication was that the entire busi-
ness portion would be burned. The
wind changed to the east and soon
buildings on the opposite side of the
street were on fire and the only thing
now to be done was to save the north
half section of tho business portion.
Fully 500 people were on the ground
and everybody was helping in every
way possible. The Eager furniture
building, which was iron-covered,
checked the flames.

NEW YORK, June 9.-Bishop Bur-

that the man, strong in health, will
be better able to fight the battles of
