Great Pageant to Honor Roosevelt
Early in October.
For the first time in history Presi-
dent Of the United States Is going to
take 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 10 his
principle of seeing things for himself
instead Of through the eyes OF others.
President Roosevelt is coming to the
out what the needs of this great water
way and those tributary to 1t 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
ing "14 feet through the valley" as
Justify as the rest of them.
The entire river from Keokuk, Ind,
where he embarks on the river boat

journey ends, will be en- fete to greet
him, but at ST. Louis the NEST elabor-
ate reception will occur. Here the har-
bsr 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. i, and will go down

TWO WoMEN's DEVOTION
May fot Bring Freedom to Caleb
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. lncarcerated for
seven years for a murder which changed
the political history of a State, outlawed
Its Governor and wrecked many homes,
Powers, who at the age of so years was
Secretary of State for Kentucky, is still
fighting 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.
jury pronounced him guilty of COM
plicity in the assassination end fixed his
punishment at life Imprisonment. He
was 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 new trial
was granted.
ut was towards shot which slew
Gsebel, and Caleb is not 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.
II know Caleb is not coward, and
also knew he had no connection with the
deep dsmnation Of Goebels taking Off"
This was the downright answer to ev.
cry charge made against the prisoner re-
turned by Mrs. Lulie Clay Brock, who
The Miller sun. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 190?-19??, 1907-09-14

taught the young man when he was a
youngster and who remembered the slight
blue-eyed boy who called her his second
mother"
But the convictions of these women
had no weight with the second jury which
passed upon the guilt or innocence of the
man. So on Oct. %, 1901, these twelve
men brought in verdict of guilty, and
again was the prisoner sentenced to the
penitentiary for his natural life. "a
In the meantime, however, and before
Gov. Taylor left the State as fugitive
from justice to prevent arrest and ar
raignment for completely in the same as
sassination, the executive granted par
don to the prisoner. The Supreme Court
of the State declared this pardon void,
holding that Taylor had ceased to be Gov
ernor at the tine it was issued.
But the feeble cid mother never ceased
praying for her sens freedom. Nor did
she waver in her faith as to his inno-
cence. She had impoverished herself,
having seld her little farm and moved to
the home of daughter, to aid in raising
finances for the son to continue his battle
against what seemed to be overpowering
odds. Then came the third trial. She
was living in an humble cottage in Bar
louisville, and every evening she could
be found standing at the gate, her very
soul crying out for a verdict OF limo
cent"
Finally the verdict was carried to her,
but it was as far from that expected and
hoped for as day is from night 1t was
on the evening of Aug. 20, 1903, that
she learned that a third jury had con-
demned her boy to death.
Holding herself steadily erect, the aged
woman made but one comment:
my son is innocent; my sole prayer
now is to the God of the fatherless and
the widow that he will cSen the eyes and
soften the hearts of those enemies OF
Caleb who seem determined to have his
life. But both he and ] will live to prove
to the world that he had no connection
with the crime
Prior to this trial Powers had used uI
about all the funds he could secure. Now
he was pretty well discouraged. Again
did woman come to his rescue. In the
mountain school at Flemingsburg, Caleb
Powers had inspired that affection in Mrs
Brock which was to bring forth harvest
that made a fourth trial possible. Not
withstanding her "a years she gave up al
her time to raising fund for Powers
defense. She resigned from the little
school and Travelled the length ant
breadth of the ate in behalf of her for
mer pupil. Sue was particularly sue
cessful among the women of the State
and it was her spirit, which she impaired
to others, that made the fourth trial Z
certainty.
One of the attendants will be the pris
oner's mother. She says she cannot beal
the suspense which was hers while await
Ing the verdict in the third trial, and sh'
is confident that the prejudices of formel
juries. will not be part of the MAKEUP
of the next which will try her boy. What
ever the outcome of the trial. the pris
oner is bearing up with remarkable forti
tuds 4
