Hardinsburg, Ky, July II Rev.
Lewis G Harris, who was serving
his third year as pastor of the

at his home ! ere Saturday after
a lingering illness of sright's dis
ease. He was a native of Virginia,
having been born there forty

was SO opposed to him in political
views, and he accepted the situation
and devoted himself to the task Of
building up his business. 1t was not
long until he had arrived at legal
eminence which seemed to him sutti
Client to warrant a flight into the polit-
ical field. With this end In view he
came out as q candidate for the legis-
lature and ct once entered on vigor-
Gus campaign. Although the circum-
stances of the case did not seem to jus
tify the experiment and all his friends
were opposed to the venture, he ac-
tually came within q few votes of Sc
curing the election. He carried the
city in which he lived. but could not
secure the country districts. 1t was
actually a great triumph for the young
Democratic lawyer, and 1t added i'm
mensely to his reputation as a man o.
nerve without in any way detracting
from his character.
In 1878 Kern was elected city attor-
ney of Kokomo, and when his term
expired he was accorded a reelection.
While serving in this capacity he made
an excellent record. During his two
terms law and order were dominant,
and it became a current saying in Ko-
komo that there was no necessity to
bolt the door as long as Kern, was on
the watch.
In the state election of 1884 Mr.
Kern was elected reporter of the
supreme court on the Democratic tick
ct In this responsible position he
proved most efficient and conscientious
and won many powerful friends. At
the close of his term he settled in In
dianapolis and soon became closely
identified with the business interests
and policies Of that growing capital
He was elected to the state senate in
1892 and did admirable service in the
legislature. From 1897 to 1901 Mr.
Kern was city attorney Of indianapolis
under Mayor Tom Taggart. the nation
nj chairman of the Democratic party
He took very prominent part in the
great political battle of 1896 and was
identified with the fortunes of Mr..
Bryan in the state of Indiana.

1t is admitted by all of those who

made apparent on numerous occasions.
He has been twice honored by his par

and has also been the Democratic can
didate for United States senator.

alone that Mr. Kern is held in high
repute. Men of all political creeds
have learned to like him and to ap-

ever since his entry into political life

schOoIboys' Weather Observations

An interesting method Of instructing
boys in that part of nature study per-
tanning to the atmosphere has been de-
vised by John Reid. the headmaster of
the Reckleford Council school at Yeo-
VII, in England. Each day of the
school week several boys are sent to
the corporation gas works to copy the
records of barometer movements and
rainfall there kept, one or two less ex-
perienced lads accompanying them.
Meanwhile other boys note the direc-
ton of the wind and record the TEN.
perature from readings of thermom-
eters hung In the open on the north
and south sides Of the school. The
teacher of the class then enters the
particulars on a sheet and encourages
the scholars to make deductions from
the collected data. The boys copy the
results. and every Friday they write
en- account of their observations in the
form Of general remarks" on the
weeks weather.

JOHN w. KERN.

or descended to the abuse Of any of
bis political antagonists. He is es-
teemed throughout the state as a man
of high ideals and pure motives.
In 1900 Mr.. Kern received the NOM
nation for governor, but he went down
70 defeat with Mr.. Bryan. Again In
1904 he was given another opportu-
I nifty, but the sorry political fortune Of
rthe previous campaign was repeated.
Although he was regarded as one Of
Mr.. Bryan's stanchest friends, he was
the first Indiana man of any especial
prominence to come out for Judge AL
ton B. Parker, whom he supported 10y
ally without In any way endangering
his friendship for the man from Ne
braska. Thus it is that he is today one
of Mr. Bryan's closest friends and ad-
mirers.
Mr.. Kern is native son of the
Hoosier State, born In Howard county,
near Kokomo, In 1S49. He is of south
ern extraction, his father having emf
grated from Virginia In 1886 and be-
coming one of the pioneers of Howard
COuhlJS PAdNbANC0 AhCNANLhC
for several years. When John was
five years of age his parents decided
to remove to Iowa, and the family re-
manned in that state until the lad was
fifteen. Soon after the Kerns had
returned TO their old home their son
entered the State Normal school and
after a short period of preparation be-
came district school teacher In How
ard county. After he had succeeded
in saving a little money he entered
the University Of Michigan as a mem
Der of the freshman class.
His means were not. sufficient to adj
NIT of regular attendance at the uni
versity, and he was obliged to take
several long intermissions in order to
earn the money necessary to complete
his course. But he was resolute in
the determination to obtain an educa-
ton, and he permitted no hardship to
turn him from his purpose. When he
was graduated he carried off all the
honors to which he was eligible, and
his record was most gratifying Of any
member Of the class.

Family Socially Prominent.

The Kern family is prominent so
cially in Indianapolis. Mrs. Kern is a
brilliant woman, endowed with a live
ly wit and the Kern home is the cen
ter Of a refined circle composed Of the
most intellectual people Of the notably
intellectual capital of Indiana.
1t il no secret that the Kern boom
has been the particularly pet hobby Of
the Democratic chairman. Tom Tag
CART. who announced to his friends on
the eve Of his departure for Denver
that he should never return unless
John Kern were given the nomination
for the vice presidency. 1t has long
been known in Indiana political circles
that Taggart has always considered
his friend to be first class presidential
timber, and he saw no especial reason
why he should not be given first place
on the ticket If the Nebraska man
failed to make good. Taggart's deter
mination to promote the advancement
of his friend was the cause of much
merriment at Denver, although those
who are personally acquainted with
the nominee are of the opinion that
Kern is big enough to justify the
chairman's admiration.

A Free Silver CHAMPION.

Perhaps the most telling charge
which will be made against Kern in
the coming campaign is his more or
less sudden conversion from an ardent
advocate of gold coinage into a cham
pion of free silver at 1G to 1. 1t will
be remembered that at the outset he
was a gold advocate, speaking at a
public meeting in indianapolis in 1896
against what he then termed the free
silver craze" The leaders Of the gold
movement remembered Kern's "deser-
tion," as they were pleased to term it,
and when he ran for governor they
withheld from him many Of the votes
which he might otherwise have con-
trolled.
But in spite of his somewhat mixed
political tendencies Mr.. Kern is GER
tain to find many warm friends in In
diana among the members of all par
ties. Personally he is liked by al
most everybody.

When His Aim Was Poor.

A story illustrative of Kern's dispo-
sition to grow FESTIVE under disap-
pointment comes from indianapolis.
When he was a member of the state
legislature he introduced a bill which
was defeated. 1t was a matter in
which he felt great personal interest,
and when the vote was counted against
It he rose in his place, accused the
speaker in no undecided terms Of kill.
! ing his bill. and. hurting q bulky type
written copy of the measure at the
head of the presiding officer, shouted.
! IF you won't pass 1t, eat itp' For
tunately for everybody the irate legis-
lator's aim was defective and the pom
derous Missile went wide Of the mark
| The speaker saw the humor of the sit
uation and was disposed to make a
! joke of 1t. So 1t happened that the
hasty legislator did not suffer from
the consequences of his indiscretion
1t is altogether to his credit that Il
short time for reflection convinced him
that he had been an offender and he
lost no time In making the proper
apology.
The friendship between Taggart and
Kern is really something out of the or
binary. At the st. Louis convention
the latter might have been considered
seriously as a vice presidential candi-
date but for his determination to put
no obstacle in the way of Taggart's
candidacy for the national chairman
ship When the party leaders went to
Kern and almost importuned him to
permit them to use his name In con-
nection with the vice presidency he de-
clared that he would not be mentioned
for the place because he wanted In
dlana's share of the glory to go to Tag
CART, who was man that deserved all
he could get. He even went to New
York to urge Judge Parker to stand
for Taggart for the craftsmanship. He
obtained proxy from western mem
Der of the committee. and he 1t was
who placed Taggart in nomination at
the meeting I'm New York at which his
