FLAG DAY PROCLAMATION
Governor Calls for Observance of
Anniversary on June 14
LINCOLN Neb June 9 Governor
Savage issued the following procla
mation designating June 14 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 I Ezra P Savage governor of
the state of Nebraska do hereby pro
claim Saturday June 14 1902 Flag
day and I do respectfully recommend
that the day be observed by all patri
otic citizens in such manner as shall
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 suc
ceeding annivesary be a 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 It is a
symbol of freedom of poace of jus
tice It 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 na
tion It is stained by no national
dishonor it bears no mark of broken
faith Whether in the smoke of bat
tle 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 faitli 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 un
derstanding of the real signification
of the emblem of the nation It 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 I earnestly request that
the day be observed in a proper man
ner by the children of the public
schools and by patriotic citizens gen
erally

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 soutli 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 Fager furniture
