INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. July IL
John w. Kern, nominated for the
Vice-Presidency by the Denver conven
ton. has been a prominent figure
in State politics for a period of twen-
ty-four years. having been nominated
by the Democrats In that year for re-
porter of the Supreme Court and being
elected with the entire State ticket.
He was born and reared in Howard
County and before his nomination for
reporter was regarded as one of the
brainiest young lawyers of the State.
Since he retired from the Office OF re-
porter he has served four years in the
State Senate from this county, has been
twice honored by his party with the
Gubernatorial nomination, and once re-
ceived the complimentary vote of the
legislative minority for the United
States Senate.
Mr.. Kern has always been a staunch
party man. In the preliminary cam

determined free silver sentiment and

SEES EXHAUSTION OF
COAL SUPPLY BBY 2O55.

NEW YORK. July 11.-If the con-
sumption of anthracite coal continues
at the same rate at which it has been
going on for the last several years it
is estimated that the supply will be
entirely exhaused in the year 2055, says
Edward w, Parker, of the United States
Geological Survey. He adds that by
that time, according to the records up
to date, the United States will be using
2. 200. 0O0,O o tons"
Parker prophesies that future genera
tons will have so far developed
methods of subduing and utilizing other
forces of nature that the need of coal
will to a great extent have been elimi-
mated"

more potent voice of the organization
of which he was a member.
While not a political orator, John w.
Kern is a forcible and logical speaker
and a campaigner of more than ordi-
nary tact and ability. He tells a story
illustrative of his position on any ques-
ton well. and has the faculty of get
ting a crowd In sympathy with him
wherever he speaks. He is thoroughly
acquainted in Indiana and has made
two creditable though losing campaigns
as the party's nominee for Governor.
In each election, however. he led his
ticket and both the campaign and the
casting of the ballots showed hat he
had strength outside of his party.
Those who have backed him for Vice
President believe that this strength
will be greatly augmented this year,
and they will make a special effort to
awaken State pride in his behalf.
Was Born In Indiana.
Mr.. Kern's political advancement be-
gan when he was a mere youth in the
city of Kokomo. where he was elected
city attorney, just after he was adj
mitted to the bar.
In 1900 he was nominated by the
State convention for Governor, and
made an active campaign of the State,
but went down to defeat with the State
and national tickets, In 1904 he was
again nominated, and was again de-
feated. Both Of these campaigns were
noted for the laborious work that the
nominee for Governor performed, and
for the creditable vote that he received
over and above that polled by others
on the ticket.
Mr.. Kern was born December 90, 1S49,
in Alto, Howard County. Ind. His
father was an old-fashioned country
doctor, and came originally from Vir-
glnia. Young Kern attended the com
mon schools. but was aided in his stud
les by his father, who was a student
note. The boy was graduated from
the State University of Michigan and
began the practise of law at the county
of his native county.

engaged in the work have made 1897
inspections and have examined a to-

12 months old. No less than 271 houses
have been reported as being In unsan-

Inspector Ball will take steps to COM
pei Improvement in these cases.
The number Of cases found by the
inspectors in which mothers display
the most utter ignorance Of the dan
gers threatening their babies. Is APP
palling. They feed their children on
food which is almost certain to bring
on stomach troubles, take no precau-
tions to protect their infants from
disease infected flies and neglect to
bathe the babies often enough.
