CITY OF OAKLAND.


Oakland adjoins Topeka, south of the Kansas river, on the east, and was incorporated as a city of the third class December 1, 1903. The first election for officers was held February 2, 1904. While a large proportion of Oakland's population is employed in Topeka (many of them in the shops of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company), their homes were too remote from Topeka's public utilities and improvements to participate in the benefits there- from, so the citizens decided to organize a local government and thus secure advantages not granted by county laws.


Officers.


Mayor - F. A. Brigham. Treasurer - F. E. Jordan.


Marshal - Egbert B. Wilson. Street Commissioner - C. G. Sherer.


Clerk - B. W. Steinour. Police Judge - B. P. Williams. Assistant Marshal - A. W. Sherer.

In addition to the Capitol, the buildings belonging to the State and located near the city are: the State Reform School, about two miles north from the city, and one of the insane asylums, a short distance northwest from the Capitol building. Rossville and Silver Lake, in the northwestern portion, Richland and Auburn, in the southern and southwestern portions of the county, and Tecumseh, four miles cast of Topeka, are towns of considerable importance in their localities.

STATE GOVERNMENT OF KANSAS.


The Territory of Kansas was an uninhabited plain until the 30th of May, 1854. when President Pierce signed the famous Kansas-Nebraska bill, organizing the Territories of Kan- sas and Nebraska. In July, 1859, the Constitutional Convention met in Wyandotte, and on the 20th of July signed the " Wyandotte Constitution." This was ratified by the people in October of the same year, but it was not, however, until January 29, 1861, that President Buchanan signed the act of Congress admitting Kansas under the Wyandotte Constitution to the Union of States.


The State of Kansas includes an area of 82,080 square miles, or 52,531,200 acres, and is larger than the whole of the New England States and Delaware and Maryland added; equal to North and South Carolina combined, and is twice as large as Ohio. According to the United States census, the population in 1900 was 1,469,496. This has been materially increased, and according to the cnumeration of 1904 is estimated at 1,700,000.

The State printer has been elected every two years by a joint ballot of the legis- lature; but at the next regular election will be voted upon by the people, such an amendment 10 the constitution having carried in 1904. United States senators are elected every two years for a term of six years.


The gubernatorial term commences on the second Monday in January, following the elec- tion; and regular sessions of the legislature are held biennially, commencing on the second Tuesday in January, in the odd years.

There are only three legal holidays authorized or recognized by law in this State, and they are as follows: DECORATION DAY, 30th May, was made a legal holiday by chapter 125, Laws of 1886, (General Statutes of 1901, paragraph 3317.) LABOR DAY, the first Monday in Sep- tember, was made a legal holiday by chapter 145 of the Laws of 1891. WASHINGTON'S BIRTH- DAY, February 22d, was made a legal holiday by chapter 161. Laws of 1895. It is a popular notion or belief that New-Year Day, January 1, Independence Day, July 4, Thanksgiving Day, as fixed annually by the President or Governor, Christmas Day, December 25. and Arbor Day, in April, are legal holidays; but the Legislature of Kansas has never declared any or either of said days to be legal holidays. The section which stands as paragraph 544 of the General Statutes of 1901, in the act relating to bonds, bills, and promissory notes. was first enacted in 1868 as it now stands. except that in 1870, by chapter 37, the word " preceding " was substi- tuted for " succeeding " next before the words " business day "; but this section applies to all Sundays as well as to the other days named, and simply regulates the time at which " days of grace " allowed on commercial paper shall expire; but Sundays have never been declared or even recognized as legal holidays, and the section referred to docs not declare any or either of the days named to be a legal holiday.
