NOBLESVILLE. Ind. October 2l-Presi-
dent Mckinley today before he had break
fast address, so immense audiences. The
meetings were at Logansport and Kukomo
AT the latter place the scene was the most
inspiring of any during the entire trans
mississippi tour. In spite OF dampness and
the cold wind that swept down from the
north, the crowd was enormous. Hundreds
of school schildren were I'm evidence each
provided with flag and all giving lusty
cheers for the President.
The booming of cannon and shrieking of
steam whistles reused the Pre- sident from
sleep shortly after q O'Clock and at he
spoke to 5000 at Logarsport. Kokomo was
reached at 7:30 am, and here the Presi-
dent was warmly cheered by gathering
that seemed wholly cut of proportion 20
the size of the town At Upton. which
was the next stop. the President spoke in
part as follows:
My Fellow Citizens: We have lately had
such revival of patriotism in this coun-
try as We have never had since tn earliest
days of our history. North and south are
now together brought; they own the same
electric thought; in peace a common flag
salute, and in war follow a common flag
willing to die beneath it's folds Applause
That is what tn war has done for the peo-
pie of the United States. What IL has done
for other people is yet to be determined,
and / look into your faces / know that
you would have this nation help the OPP
pressed people who have by the war been
brought within the sphere OF our influence.
Great applause)
Disaster at Kokomo.
The firing of cannon in honor of the Pres
idenual visit to kokomo was attended with
disastrous results. James Jones being in
stantly killed by it's premature explosion.
