TO SEE LIBERTY BELL
Old Relic Will Pass Through
Watertown Next Sunday At
1925 P. M.

Next Sunday afternoon the Liberty
Bell which will be taken from Philadel-
phla to the St. Louis fair, after a tour of
then western states, and an escort of
Philadelphia citizens, will pass through
this city on the Milwaukee road at
1920 O'Clock and will remain here
about five minutes.
| May or Wertheimer is making ar
rangements to welcome the party and
it is probable that the band and maybe
military company will form part of
the welcome party.
The specirlly constructed fiat car on
| which the bell is carried Will be al
tached to the end of the train and if
the time and facilities permit. the pub
| lie will be allowed 10 board the car and
pass around the bell A specially pre-.
pared history of the Liberty Bell, in
cluding historical sketch of the Inde-
pendence hall, will be distributed by
the committee in charge of the relic.
The coming trip of the Liberty Bell
will be the seventh time that it has
been out Of Independence hall since it
was first installed there in June, 1858.
The first time it was removed was in
September 1777, when it was taken to
Allentown. Pa, to prevent it falling
into the hands of the British. There
it remained until the British army
evacuated Philadelphia. All of the
other journeys OF The bell were for ex-
hibition pun poses. In 1885 to New Or
leans. in 1898 to Chicago, in 1895 to
Atlanta, 1902 to Charleston, S. c., and
and in 1908 to Boston. On it's last
tour the bell represented the city of
Philadelphia at the battle of Bunker
Hill, celebration at which the display
of the famous relic of the revolution of
independence was most fitting.

ellis which is arranging for the exhibi-
tion of the Liberty Bell at st. Louis
| and which will act as the official escort
on the journey is composed of the fol-
lowing members: Henry Clay, chair
