Shortly after the hymn had been
sung the fire bells tolled seventy
six times, signifying the year in
which the bell rang out the tidings
that the British yoke had been
thrown off by the American colonies

was seen approaching bugle sound
ed and the big crowd burst into
frantic, cheering and when the train
pulled into the station the rush for
first place in line began In earnest.
The fiat car On which the bell hung
from polished oak frame, came to
stop opposite the raised platform
and the six local policemen had
their hands full. Boys, girls, men
and women surged up to the place
of vantage and the members of the
Philadelphia committee on the train
bombarded them with buttons on
which was picture of the Liberty
Bell with the words "Philadelphia
Souvenir,' printed above and est

the bell is about an inch wide, and

adelphians explained that when the
bell was cracked an effort was made
to repair it. The fissure was en-

seal it. But the tone was unsuccess-

HAVE RETURNED
From the Municipal Meeting at
South Bend.

The party of eleven from this city.
who attended The Municipal meeting
at South Bend. returned yesterday
afternoon. All of them were very
well satisfied with the work of the
Municipal League The citizens of
South Pend treated the visitors roy-
ally and there was hardly an evening
that an entertainment Of some sort
was not given for them. Superin-
tendent Gormon and Sergeant Krone
OF the local police department. were
very much interested I'm an enter
tainment given in the headquarters
of the South Bend fire department
one evening. A smoker which did
not start until nearly midnight was
the first feature of the evening.
After the smoker the fire laddies re-
tired TO their bed rooms. Shortly
after this an alarm was turned I'm
for the purpose of showing the
speed of the fire fighters. Tn one
minute and forty seconds, the men
were ont of bed, horses hitched up
and had a stream of water flowing
about a half square from the bead
quarters. This fast feat made a
number of the visitors open their
eyes. as they were not accustomed
to seeing things done so quickly.

Liberty Bell arrived in Richmond
over the Panhandle on it's way back
to Philadelphia from ST. Louis where
lit has been on exhibition. The
bell s stay of fifteen minutes in this
city was the occasion Of a patriotic
demonstration in which old and
young participated.
At / 80 the crowd began to gath
er i'll the train yard east of the
express Office at the station, which
is surrounded by high brick wall.
When the two big iron gates were
thrown open there was a rush that
reminded the hundreds of sight seers
on the roofs Of nearby buildings of a
cattle stampede and the police did
yoeman service in preventing over
anxious patriots from being injured.
Each school in the city dismissed
about / 80 and the pupils singing
and waving hundreds of flags march
ed to the station to see the nation s
treasured relic. The yard facing the
railroad tracks was roped off and in
the yard four thousand school chill
dred and citizens showed and push
ed, each with but one end in view,
that Of getting next to the ropes so
as to be first to walk over the plat
form when the bell arrived.
The bell was due to arrive in
Richmond at 2 o'clock, but owing
to the fact that the train did not
leave indianapolis until noon it was
nearly an henr late on it's schedule
and before the bell arrived brief
program was observed. Mayor
Zimmerman spoke from the plat
form, which was erected so as TO be
on level with the fiat ear which
bore the bell, and after a brief ad-
dress he introduced Professor Wal
ter s. Davis, of the high school. who
gave brief sketch Of the bells his
tory. He told how for many years
it hung in the belfry of the old prov
encial State House at Philadelphia,
which later became known as Inde-
pendence Hall. This was the scene
of that historical event. when the
continental congress proclaimed the
freedom Of the American colonies
and denied further allegiance to
England. The pealing forth of this
message gave the bell its name
the Liberty Bell. Since that time it
has been one Of the most precious
relics Of the nation. The crack In
the bell was first noticed when it was
tolled on the death of Chief Justice
Marshall. July s. 1885.
Both speakers spoke in loud tones
but so busy was the crowd in get
ting advantageous places IN line and
SO noisy was every one in accom-
plishing these ends that it was next
to impossible to hear, anything that
was said. ...s.
AT the conclusion Of the speaking
the national hymn, America was
sang. or rather the school children
sang II, their elders forgot, the words
before the conclusion Of the first
verse, and the last verse Of the glor-
ious hymn. was heard in the treble
of Youthful voices.

derby and disturbing the peace. A

she was sent to jail for ten days.
Her name has been omitted hereto

If, however, she refuses, and con-
tinues in her present course of will

worse fate will befall her than that
