ADVANCES TO ROSTRUM
Special to the indianapolis Journal.


CHICAGO, May ia man supposed to
be insane interrupted the address of Gov
ernor Durbin, of Indiana, at the African
NJ. Z. Conference tonight and threatened
the Governor with death because he had
disputed the word of Father Abraham"
During the Governors address the man
had been pressing forward gradually and
just before the speaker concluded he had
reached point almost in front of the
rostrum. Suddenly he started toward the
exclaimng:
ANY man who dares to dispute the word
of Father Abraham, the father of the ma
ton, L will kill him."
Before he could reach the rostrum he was
seized by several of the ushers and rushed
through a side door into the street. After
being pushed through the door, the man
ran off and disappeared. The usher threw
him out so quickly that it was not learned
whether not the man armed.
Governor Durbin paid no attention to the
man. and until he had concluded his re-
marks was not aware that the threats
had been directed at him. The incident
occurred in Quinn Chapel.
Governor Durbin. in company with Sec
retary of State Daniel Storms and the
Indiana Board of Tax Commissioners, is
IN I0lS CITY Inspecting SO1Uc plOp-
critics The leaders of the conference,
learning of the presence of Indianas Gov
ernor, invited him to make an address.
In a short, characteristic speech, Gov
ernor Durbin urged the members of the
negro race to desist from considering them
selves a problem, the solving of which lay
in the power of others than themselves.
He said that while there was no doubt
of much unjust discrimination against the
colored people, it was in the hands of the
negroes after all. TO place themselves be-
yond the possibility of such discriminat ton.
The Governor said in part:
Whatever may be the disposition of
Others, it is in my opinion high time for
the colored people of this country to cease
looking upon themselves a problem.
colored man to American life inculcates
the unwarranted belief that someone is
going to discover a practicable plan for
lifting the race ell maSse to some higher
level The struggle for advancement is not
so easy as that. Much remains to be done

they offer splendid inducements to
people seeking new homes. Both town

both the town and county shonld not
enjoy healthy growth during the
next year. A new court house will be
built in Julesburg during the coming
summer, and it will be constructed
without any bonded Indebtedness
whatsoever being incurred by the
county. Already there is sufficient
money in the treasury, distributed
through the various county funds, to
pay for building the court house. The
distribution Of this money to local
workmen in the shape of wages. will
make good times, and the building
when completed will add considerable
to the architectural beauty of the
town. A number of other buildings
will be constructed in .Iulesburg dur
ing the summer, and the employment
furnished mechanics and artisans by
reason Of this fact will be steady. All
other people who desire work will be
able to secure it when the construction
of the Jumbo reservoir is started, ana
altogether the prospect is good for
prosperous times in Sedgwick county
during the current year.
