COLUMBIAN L IBERT ry BELL, To the People of Pennsylvania: It has been determined to create a Co- lumbian Liberty Bell to be placed by the lovers of liberty and peace in the most appropriate place in the coming World's Exhibition at Chicago. Then it will go to Bunker Hill or Lib- erty Island, to the battlefield of New Orleans (1812), to San Francisco, to the place where any great patriotic celebra- tion is being held, until 1900. when it will go, if permitted, first to Jerusalem, then it will be sent to the next World's Exhibition, which takes place at Paris, France. There it will.continue until that Exhibition closes. After the close of the Exhibition this bell will pass from place to place throughout the world as a mis- sionary of freedom. When not in use in other places, it will return to Washington. Washington will be its home, and from there it will jour: ney from place to plage, fulfilling its mis- sion throughout the world. The following is the proposed the bell: set; at nine o'clock in the morning on the anniversaries of the days on which great events have occurred marking the world’s progress toward liberty; at twelve o'clock on the birthdays of the “creators of liber- ty;” and at four o'clock it will 10ll on the anniversaries of their death. By this means the bell will keep continually in the minds of those within reach of its the memories of the men aud who have led in the work for liberty and peace, and the anniversaries of the greav events resylting from their efforts. The responsibility of its production and the direction of its use have been placed in the nands of a committee of women representing each State and Ter- ritory, one representative from each Re- public of the world, and a representative from the patriotic societies—Daughters and Sons of the American Revolution, the Lyceum League of America, the So- ciety of German Patriots, the Human Freedom League and kindred organiza- tions. The responsibility of representing Penn- sylvania upon the General Committee has been placed npon me, and this circu- lar is sent to every Church, School, So- ciety, Company or representative citizen, asking for his or her personal co-opera- tion. in making the undertaking success- ful. In creating the bell itis particular- ly desired that the largest number of per- sons possible shall have a part init. For this reason small contributions from many persons are to be asked for, rather than large contributions from a few. They are to be of two kinds: First. Material that can be made a part of the bell; articles of historic inter- use of It shall ring at sunrise and sun- sound, women | est will be particularly appreciated—gold, silver, bronze, copper, be fused: tin and nickel can “It is not to be builded—this bell that we plan— Of common ore dug from the breast of the land, But of metal first moulded by skill of all arts; Built of the treasures of fond human hearts.” Second. Of money with which to pay for the pell. In order that the bell shall | be cast June 8th, we ask everyone read- | I ing this io act at once. GREAT ROCK ISLAND ROUTE _— LINE TO THE WEST Superb Dining C Car Service 1852 - 1892. As long a time as David reigned, so long has the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway run trains westward from Chicago. The Rock Island is foremost in adopting any advantage calculated to improve speed and give that luxury, safety and comfort that popular Jatronage demands. Its equipment is thorough- y complete with vestibu'ed traing, magnificent dining cars, sleepers and chair coaches, all the most elegant, and of recently improved patterns. Faithful and capable management and polite, honest service from employes are important items. They are a double Aon the Com- pany and to travelers—and it is sometimes a task difficult of accomplishment. Passengers on this line will find little cause for complaint on that ground. The importance of this Line can be better un- derstood if a short lesson in geography be now recited. What is the great Eastern termini of the Rock Island Route?--Chicago. hat other sub-East- ern termini has it¥—Peoria. To what important pe oints does it run trains to the Northwest?—St. aul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Water- town and Sioux Falls, Dakota. To what impor- tant Towa and Nebraska points?—Des Moines, Davenport, Towa; Omaha and Lincoln, Nebras- ka. Does it touch other Missouri River points?— Yes; St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and Kansas City. Does it run trains to the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains?—Yes; to Denver, Colo- rado Springs and Pueblo, solid vestibuled from Can important cities of Kansas be ock Island Route?—Yes; its capital city, Tokepa, and a full hundred others in all directions in the State, and it is the only road running to and into the new lands opened for settlement in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Reservation, It will thus be seen that a line tapping, asthe Rock Island does. such a varied territory, has much in that regard to commend it to travelers, as all connections are sure on the Rock Island, and passengers can rely on a speedy Journey, as over a bulk of the system through trains are run, and it has become, and rightly too, the popular Line, very popular train on the Chicago, Rock Ising & Pacific Railway leaves Shienge, daily, at 10 p. m. It is called *“I'HE ve,” is only one day out, and passengers TY at Denver, Pueblo or Colorado Springs early the rhrnbbi morning. The Hock Island has become a popular Colo- rado Line, and the train above referred to is Ves- tibuled, and carries the Rock Island’s excellent Dining ‘Car Service.
