Indianapolis, July A The special
train carrying the Indiana delegation

O'Clock. Those on the train number

cago, where it is understood a num-
Der of former IndianianG are anxious
to join the crowd bound for the Col
orado city. According to the sched
ule, the train was to leave Chicago
over the Rock Island at 1870 last
night, reaching Lincoln late Sunday
remaining there five hours to permit
the pilgrims to visit the party oracle
at his country home. then hurrying
on to Denver. 1t is expected that the
trip will be completed about II 80
Monday forenoon, and when the
Hoosiers shall have reached their des-
tination the flower of Indiana's democ-
racy will be on the ground.
There seemed to be distinct dis
approval among the Indianapolis part
of the crowd Cf the action of John w.
Kern in checking his boom for the
vice presidential nomination. and it is
not going too far to say that his word
is not accepted as final One of the
very first things that the Indiana del
egation proposed to 90 on reaching
Denver was to round up Mr.. Kern and
tell him that he is in the hands of his
friends for better or for worse, and
that he will oblige them by doing or
saying nothing that will handicap
them in their efforts to land him in
second place. A personal friend OF
Mr. Kern told your correspondent that
that Indiana man is in earnest; that
he has no liking for the turmoil of pol
itics and that he will block the game
to nominate him if it is within his
power to do so. Mr.. Kern himself be.
heves that the party snOuld go fur
ther east for its vice presidential tim.

to take. There As every reason to be
lieve that Mr.. Kern will have about as
good a chance stopping his boom as
he would have fighting a forest fire
The Indiana delegation proposes tc
get a line on Bryan. as regards the
! availability and desirability of Kern
as his running mate, and as the Ne
braskan Is bound to say something
nice, they will make use of his words

Desire Pure Milk.
So determined is the pure food de

MED by Mr.. Barnard, will make ;
! tour of inspection of the state. Th'
/ object will be to impress upon dairy
men and the people generally the val

strating TO dairymen the dangers o
impurities in milk. and meetings vii
be called all over the state for the pur

Grocers and meat dealers are bein
regularly arrested and fined in Indian
apolis for selling impure milk an
meat, and many dealers have ceased L
sell milk for the reason that they can
not be assured that it is pure whe1
they purchase it. They naturall
look TO the dairymen for protection
but the law makes the seller equal
liable and there is no way of shiftin
the blame.
