name of ex-Governor Samuel R. Van

Samuel R. Van Sant is a native of
Illinois and Served during three 'years
of the war as a private in the Ninth
Illinois cavalry. After the war he lo
cated in Minnesota and was elected to
the legislature In 1892, serving four
years. . In 1901 he was elected governor.
For many years he has been prominent
in wana Army arrairs, .Fa
Colonel William A. Ketcham was born
in Indianapolis and has always lived in
that ' city. His war record is not a
lengthy one, but his friends point with
pride to the fact that he enlisted In
February, 1864, at the age of 12 years.
He saw hard fighting . throughout his
service, participating in the Cold Har
bor campaign and at Petersburg, and
was mustered out at tha ags of 19 with
the rank of captain.
So far there has not been much heard
In regard to the meeting place for the
encampment of 1910, but a spirited con
test Is expected to develop before the
matter comes up for decision. A large
section oi tne middle west is understood
to favor the - selection of St. Louis,
which city has not had the honor of
entertaining the veterans for many
years. Atlantic City also will put in a
bid for the gathering, and It Is possibls
that Rochester and one or two other
cities may send invitations. ; ;
