William Toggard Keller is the name Of
the lad and he claims to be nephew
of the famous Tod Sloane and Bob
Sloane of turf fame. The boy has
ridden few nags himself and to all
appearance was just a real boy with
about the average mischie. to be
found in a healthy American lad. He
is about fifteen years of age and his
parents are both dead, his father dy-
ing about five years ago and his
mother three years later. The little
chap showed unusual intelligence.
His former keeper. Mrs. Jennie. Flick
tenmiller of arlington had the boy
brought to Judge Eichelberger charged
with being incorrigible and desired
him sent to the reform schsool. Fol
lowing his dismissal on that charge,
persons interested in his welfare sug-
gested his being placed in the local
orphanage which was accomplished
by an order from the court later in the
afternoon.

Frankfort, KY. Nov. 16.-On Tues
day, November 20, in the new Ken,
lucky state capitol building at Frank
fort. will begin the most important
meeting of governors of the states Of
the union ever held. Fully 35 governors
will be present at the governors con-
ference and President Taft and Theo--
dore Roosevelt have been invited and
are expected to be present.
During the meeting many matters Of
Importance to the states will come
UP, which will tend ever hereafter to
benefit the various states.
It is. planned now to perfect per-
manent organization of the house OF
governors at the meeting in Kentucky.
The plan is to have each state con-
tribute its part to the support of the
permanent organization, providing for
secretary and several assistants and
keep each governor in touch with what
is being done in each state. Governor
Wilson of Kentucky, who is the chair
man of he conference, says that as it
now. stands a governor of any state
goes into Office green and it takes him
a couple of years to learn the ropes
and know what ought to be recon
mended to the legislature. But, he
said if the governors had a perma
nent organization, with a good secre-
tary, each new governor could have
at his disposal reports showing the adj
vanced thoughts in each state, what
is being done by each governor ana
each legislature, the nature Of recon-
mendations in messages and party
platforms and in few days where he
could get information that would be of
the greatest value to him and to his
state.
This plan will be preached at the
meeting in November and it is prob
able that the permanent organization
will be perfected at the coming session
This is only one of the many import
ant questions that will be discussed by
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1910-11-17

as each speech will be brief. The gov.
erns will then get down to work and
will be in session all day. 1t is pro-
posed to have buffet luncheon served
in the capitol for the governors by the
women of Frankfort instead of letting
them scatter about over the city at!
the hotels and private homes where1l
they will be staying. In the evening
Governor Wilson and Mrs. WILSON
will have a large reception, which Wilt
be an invitation affair at the mansion.s
The governors will go to Louisville ons
the following morning to contine the1rt
business sessions. In Louisville the
women of the party will be lavishly
entertainde but the men will stick to
tb~A- ---ork.

DID JOB IN
WESTERN STYLE
Five Posses Now on the
Trail of the Quartet of
Bandits.
BY United Press Wire

East Liverpool, o., May 5-Five
posses with bloodhounds are today on
the trail of four desperadoes who ear
ly this morning terrorized Newell,
West Virginia, across the Ohio river,
and looted the safe of the North
American Manufacturing company In
real wild West" fashion.
The bandit quartette rode into
Newell a new town of about 5000 popu
lation and dismounted in front of the
plant of the North American Manu-
featuring company a holding company
for public utilities. Two of the bandits
stood guard over the horses while the
remaining pair climbed poles and cut
the main current feeding the arc
lamps throughout the city.
Two of the robbers jmmied the
door of the North American Offices
and drilled the safe, igniting the ex-
plosive with wires from the incandes-
cent light connections. which had
been left intact purposely. The first
explosive failed to open the safe but
awakened many citizens. The second
blast wrecked the safe and the inter-
ior of the Office.
With $500 in cash the robbers rush.
ed into the street, joined their COM
'panions and rode away, firing more
than fifty shots, the bullets penetra-
ting houses and thoroughly terror
izing the inhabitants {. DR.. Harry A.
Turk fired at the robbers from a win
dow, but II Is believed none We're hit.
Bloodhounds this morning followed
the robbers trail through Chester,
West Virginia thence across the river
to the Pennsylvania arilroad station
here. Residents of Newell, however,
claim that the robbers escaped on the
backs of two horses and went down
the river in the direction of New Cum
berland, West Virginia.

HORSE RACING
NEAR THE END
New York's Race Tracks
Will be Cut up Into
Building Lots. d
BY United Press Wire.

New York, May 5.--Horse racing
Is nearing an end in New York state.
Horscmen generally. are agreed to-
day that when the assembly concurs
IN the bills passed by the senate yes
terday-and there is little doubt that
II VIII concur-several of the big
racing associations will prepare to
wind up their corporate existence as
promoters OF running race meets
The spring dates will be kept accord
ing to the Jockey club officials, but
II is believed that the fall meetings
will be declared off. This. however,
will not be finally determined until
after the bills are laws and the at
torneys for the Jockey club have
examined them as to their constitu-
tionality.
Most of the tracks are likely 60

ready surveys have been made OF
the Gravesend course and plans to
convert II into a residential section
have been outlined. With the COM
pletion of the tunnel to Jamaica that
property is expected to be converted
into building lots within year.

VIII remain intact, no matter what
the fate of racing. The Sheepshead
Bay managers believe the reform
spasm will pass with the retirement
OF Governor Hughes and they will
maintain their plant as usual. Bel

came convinced that the crusade

The Gates of Heaven ajar
And ere they closed again,
An angel band all wreathed in
smiles
Had taken "our Mark Twain"
"Tom Sawyer told the boys
His eye-lds, wet with tears,
That he had lost the dearest friend
He had through all the years.
Then "Huckleberry Finn" came up
All ready now, for flight,
And with his coat sleeve brushed his
eyes,
But vowed he would do right.
The little "Pauper and the Prince
With 1.-THE Innocents Abroad"
So calmly said "it must he right
For Mark was known to God"
All through the western mining
camps
n nuSn went tHlOuBu tile ar,
It'll one who is "Roughing 1t" spake
out
"Well! Mark would never swear"
Missouri echoes sadly back MARK
Twain"
AS pilot softly calls
While DER her ripping waters
A benediction falls.
Mark Twain! you gave us sunshine
Amid our clouds of woe,
You gave us laughter and good cheer
Where tears were wont to flow.
From North to South, from East to
West
And Ger the dark blue main
How many hearts are sad with grief
For jolly old Mark Twain.
