it at over five thousand persons v\
s' i tons]j injure.I; greater number thus
killed and injured than in many oi the
great battlts of recent wars-
It is believed our people will agree
that the unlimited use of fire works on
thi; 4th of July, is by 110 means con-
clusive evidence of patriotism, and
when use I at such fearful cost of life
and limb, should be at least somewhat
restricted.
1 herefore for the greater security oi
life, limb at property of our citizens,
it is hereby d/irected that the city oriii-
IV,lice relative to the discharge of fir.'
arms and all kinils of fire works within
the city limits be strictly enforced.
It i- farther directed that 011 the 4th
"f July, these restrictions sliall applv
only to pistols of all kin.Is, toy cannon-
bombs, large gi .nt fire crackers, and
cracker or bomb canes.
As our principal business streets will
be crow led with frietjds from the coun-
try and neighboring towns and cities,
on th, Fourth of July, the firing >f

land iky rockets, on Rock IilandL

Our if<> 1 n! citizens are carefully re-
quested to ai l the city authorities in se-
curing a strict compliance wit"i these
directions that the loss of life, limb and

The p' lice ar hereby instructed to

The "Tour of the World,given by
the El Reno Baptist church and South

tul in every particular ami was one jf
the most entertaining and novel events
that lias been enjoyed in El Reno for a
long time. The Baptist church, 300

were required to meet to make the trip.
At 7;3° the tourist* began to accuniu
late and by 8 o'clock the union depot
was thronged1, with pas>enger> an\iou>

washouts east and a> soon as a train
pulled in the yards there wa> a fierce
rush to get aboard. Old and yorug
mothers with babes in their arm> were
1 jammed at the entrance of each
>aeh like •-ardine^. Many who colli I
not get inside crawled up on top of
the coaches only to be thrown off bv
the brakemati.
The conductors were very precau-
tion- in seeing that the contract on the
back of the ticket* were 11- t vi dated.
Some of the requirements were:
RAILROAD RULES.

at each regular station; upon request,
special stopover privileges at the par

No two persons allowed to occupy
a single -eat at the ?ame time.

out.

worthy. — '
Sea sickness positively prohibited;
should any passenger take a fit. he will
be treated to a "salt water bath" fre .
You can recover no damages fn n

station at which the train st >npe I was
at the residence of J. K. Stone, jiq
N' rtli Rock Island, (Scotland) where
the tourists enjoyed citing a well pre-
pared dish of oats. The home was deo-
orated with thistles. Music was one of
th* f( itures. From Scotland the guests
were transferred to the home of J. G.
Lowe, 115 Nortli Macomb, (Germany)
where the travelers were treated to
a series 01 cjieese snndiwehes, pretzels,
and coffee. The waiters were very ap-
propriately costumed,' and received
many comments. Continuing the jour-
ney the sightseers were then taken t >

M th< very courteous Jap girls wel-
I coined you with a bow and proceeded

circle. 1 lie rooms were appropriately
decorated with Japanese lanters, fans
an I various Japanese relics From Jap-
an the next station at which' the train
stopped was t 705 South Barker (Tur-
key) \t this place all was silence, the
four assistants wore Turkish costumes
