Powers of Kentucky.
While nothing definite is yet known
as to the time of Caleb Powers next
trial, recently deferred, on the charge of
numbering Gov. william Goebel of Ken
lucky, the preparations are being made
and when the case is again called his de-
tense will be complete. Incarcerated fer
seven years for a murder which changed
the political history of a State, outlawed
iIs Governor and wrecked many homes.
Powers, who at the age of 30 years was
Secretary of State for Kentucky, is still
lighting desperately for his life and lib
erty. Three times already Caleb Powers
has been condemned for participation in
the Goebel assassination three times he
has been granted new trials. To his moth
er and his old school teacher he is in
debted for at least two of these.
Almost Immediately after the murder
Powers was arrested while trying to es-
cape In disguise. On Aug. 10 following,
a jury pronounced him guilty of COM
pllclty In the assassination and fixed his
punishment at life Imprisonment. He
was a man of some little means and his
political friends, partly considering his
trial as one arraigning his party before
the world, came to his aid and a new trial
was granted.
1T was a towards shot which slew
Goebel, and Caleb is not a coward"
This is what Mrs. Rebecca Powers, the
mother of the prisoner. said at the first
trial. This is what she said after the
appeal was successful, and this is what
she made many others believe by consist
ant reiteration.
Il know Caleb is not a coward, and I
also know he had no connection with the
deep ~damnation OF Goebel's taking off"

The Saddle.

Early Greeks and Romans rode
horses bareback. They regarded it as
effeminate to ride in a saddle. The
modern saddle, with pommel, crupper
clients. Nero gave u fancy coverings
to his cavalry. and the bareback riders
of the German forests used to laugh at
them. Saddles with trees came into
use in the fourth century, stirrups
three centuries later.

Great Pageant to Honor Roosevelt
Early In October.
Fol the first time in history a Presi-
dent Of the United States is going to
lake a journey on the Mississippi river,
not for the purpose Of getting from one
point to another, but to see the great
river, to meet the people who live along
Its banks and to %acquaint himself with
the conditions as they exist at the
present time in that territory adjacent
to the father of waters.' True to his
principle Of seeing things for himself
Instead Of through the eyes Of others.
President Roosevelt is coming to tie
Mississippi valley in October to find
out what the needs of this great water
way and those tributary to it really
are, and the members of the Lakes-to-
the-Gulf Deep Waterway Association
hope to so impress him with the i'm
portance of their project that before he
leaves the middle west he will be sing

ate reception will occur. Here the har-
Dor and the city will combine to do him
honor, and the decorations as well as
the program Of events will be ON the
most elaborate scale possible. The
President will leave Keokuk on Tues
day morning, Oct. !, and will go down
the river on the Mississippi river Com

ing at st. Louis about 8 o'clock in the
morning of the I'd. Here he will be

the st. Louis Business Mems League,
who are his hosts on this occasion. He
will remain in st. Louis a few hours,
departing thence for Cairo and Mem

be decorated in honor OF the distin-
guished traveller, and every boat from
one end of the river to the other is ex-
pected to take some part in the great
