Fire Marshal Issues Fourth Proclamation (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN. June 7. (Special. )-Fire Commissioner Randall has Issued the following proclamation regarding the use of explosives on July 4: To the fathers and mothers and citi zens of the state of Nebraska: We are soon to celebrate the anni versary of the birth of this nation. Old and young alike all recognize the Im portance of this occasion and are all filled with loyalty and enthusiasm that prompts us to show our appreciation of the privileges that we enjoy by reason of the bravery and sacrifices displayed by our forefathers. There is a solemn duty devolving upon every citizen of this statel to see to It that nothing occurs on this occasion that will mar the festivities or bring reproach upon the good Judgment and intelligence of Us citizens. Inventive, genius is furnishing the toy pistol, fire crackers, roman candle, sky rocket and other explosive means of celebrating the occasion, and every an niversary of the nation's birth Is blotted either with the death or Injury of hun dreds of children and a lesser number of grown people from these death-dealing manufactured implements that are being sold by dealers to children and people who handle and discharge them care lessly. It seems strange that a merchant for the sake of making a little profit will handle and sell these deadly ex plosives to children; and what looks stranger still is that the fathers and mothers and older people that know what the result of the careless handling of these explosives Is will continue year after year to countenance or permit it. It is the duty of every father and mother as well as every other citizen to warn the children and uninformed of the dangers attending these explosives, so that the number of killed and injured will be reduced to such an extent that the anniversary of the nation's birth will not be- the anniversary of the death or permanent Injury of the boys and girls and citizens who either through Ignor ance of the danger or over confidence, purchase and discharge these deadly ex plosives that . will not only destroy valuable property but life itself, if given an opportunity. Let's have a sane Fourth of July year! Let's eat Ice cream, and other good things, drink red lemonade, soda water and pop, make a loud noise with our mouth by shouting "hurrah." This will not cause lockjaw or tetanus, and if we get sick from doing it a little "pain killer" will cure us and we will not have to send for. the coroner.
