Pacific. It is fitting that the Standard
bearer shall come from the west.
"Now that the promised land is in
view it remains for us to make 1t cer-
tain"
Concerning Kern
w. ]. Palmer, formerly Of Indiana,
then by invitation of President James
Scarborough, made few remarks con-
eerning John w. Kern.
Indiana has long been the pivotal
state" said Mr.. Palmer. "These candi-
dates stand on a platform that
breathes the spirit OF Thomas Jeffer-
son, who loved, believed in and trusted
the people.
LET us go to Democrats and Repub-
licans in the spirit of Lincoln, with
charity toward all and malice toward
none, to convince them that their inter-
ests are our interests and that we can
save this country from the predatory
foes.
Now, as to this man from Indiana
Kern. In Indiana every man. woman
and child is a politician. 1t is just as
natural for a Hoosier to take to poll
tics as it is for a. cherry to get red
when the sun shines on 1t on the banks
of the Wabash.
Why Indiana Is Doubtful
Indiana has been doubtful statf
since 1894. The Democrats divided
then and have since been engaged In
fighting each other. In 1904 came the
climax when Roosevelt received ma
jo:ity Of $4,000 votes, while Kern was
beaten for governor by $4,000.
"They say that Kern is consistent
loser. I will ask you, have Mr.. Bryan's s
defeats made him less a leader? Truth
has been defeated many times only tc
rise again.
ITO show you what they think OF
Kern in Indiana, they gave him a com.
plimentary vote for United States SEN
ator in 1905. He is a brilliant speaker
an able man, a thorough-going Demo
crat.
HE stands on the platform with botf
feet and is a lovable man.
HE Is not a wealthy man, his estat,
being probably $4,000 or 100000 H,
has blood in his veins, not Ice water
Should he assume the vice president
gavel the ice that has surrounded thi
rostrum In the senate will be melted.
Why Hearst Hates Kern
at see that Hearst's newspaper here
has made a. personal attack on Kern
These attacks are being made in al
Hearsts newspapers. I will tell you
why.
"In 1904, when the factional fight was
on, Hearst's followers represented the
radical wing while Kern that of the
conservatives. Kern fought Hearst as
Democrats fight, inside the party lines
NOW you will see why this Ishnnael-
ties hand is turned against John w,
Kern"
Following the dinner a number OF
guests stepped forward and signed ap-
plications for membership blanks in
the league.

CHAIN GANG MAN GOES MAD,
STRIKES DOWN COMPANION
Fellow Prisoner Victim Of Ravlng Ma
MAC Who WIelds Wagon Stake
with Serious Results-Vic-
tim Unconscious

Dangerously injured from a blow on
the head by fellow prisoner, M. O.
Walker, on the city chain gang, lies at
the county hospital. The physicians
attending him are non-committal as to
his recovery.
Walker has a fracture at the base OF
the skull.
The attack occurred short distance
from the pest house In Chavez canyon
after 8 o'clock yesterday morning, just
as the chain gang was unloading from
the work wagons for the days labor:
The men were jumping from the
wagons to the ground when Walter
Myers, a prisoner serving a sentence
for drunkenness, without warning
seized wagon stake and struck Walk
er twice over the head. Walker fell 10
the ground unconscious.
The assailant, who to all appearances
had gone mad, would have continued
his attack had not the guards of the
chain gang come to the rescue. Myers
was overpowered after a severe
struggle.
The injured man was hurried to the
receiving hospital, where his wound
was dressed. AS he was sent to the
county hospital the physicians or the
receiving hospital were of the opinion
he would not recover.
Myers was taken back to jail raving
about imaginary wrongs perpetrated
against him by the man he assaulted.
He was so wild that 1t was necessary
to chain him to a cot.
There was no personal grievance be-
tween the two men. They were unac-
quainted.
Walker had been committed to the
chain gang for vagrancy.

mands More Compensation

who died in February. 1906. leaving
property valued at approximately

the heirs who live in Germany, Ohio

larger share of the executors fees was
begun by Jacob Swigart. who together
with Joseph Mesmer were named In
the will as executors of the estate.
Swigart claims Mesmer has been In
Germany for more than a year, during
which they were in charge of the es-
tate, and that he, Swigart. performed
all the duties in connection with the
estate during Mesmer's absence. and

to more than is Mesmer.
Their joint fees, provided by law
amount to about $2500. They filed sep
arate reports, which show there is
about $4,000 to be distributed among
the heirs, after the attorenys' fees have
been paid.

Talk of Trouble With Guatemala Is Wrong Declares Oiiicial-Was
 Misunderstanding.

City of Mexico, April 29.-"No trou- ble is threatened between Mexico and Gautemala,' declares Minister of For eign Affairs Mariscal. The rumors which have been in circulation for the past two days had their origin in misunderstanding misunderstanding of conditions, which, however, have been explained satisfactorily.
 The misunderstanding referred to by the foreign minister related to the reported friction between the Gaute- malan government and the Mexican charge d'affaires in Guatemala.
 It has been rumored that many per sons had sought refuge in the MeXi- can legation, and that their protec- tion had resulted in an overt act. A dispatch received last night, however, states there has been no trouble.
 Mexico has never entertained the idea of intervening in Gautemala,' continued Mir. Variscal, and, so far as We are aware, no such action has been contemplated by the United States At all events, the American government has made no proposals to this government of that nature"
