Alabama's Governor is Better

Birmingham, Ala.-Miss Catherine
Jelks, daughter of Governor and Mrs.
W. D. Jelks, has returned to Bir1ning-
ham from Las Vegas, n NJ, where
her parents are. She reports that
her father is improving rapidly, and
while he will remain in that country
for quite while yet, that there is a
marked improvementin the governor s
condition. It is believed that Gov.
and Mrs. Jelks will not return to Ala
bama until the last of this year, or
the first of next year. Physicians
treating the governor say that he went
out to that country at the proper
time and that the dreaded disease will
be arrested. The governor will be
cured. In few weeks now the gov
ernor will begin horseback riding in
New Mexico and other out of door ex-
ercise in line with the cure being
given.

President Roosevelt has received
telegram from W. D. Haywood, sec
retary of the Western Federation of
Miners urging him to institute an
investigation of the present serious
condition of affairs in the Cripple
Creek mining district of Colorado.
Beyond the mere statement that the
telegram had been received, and that
no answer had been sent to it, no Of
fetal information is obtainable at The
white house. What action if any at
all, the president may take is not
even intimated. At least twice here
tofore within the last six months the
president has been requested to inter-
fere in the Colorado troubles, but de-
clined after mature deliberations, be-
cause he had no legal power to take
action in the matter. Tt is regard
ed by those in close touch with hlm
to be unlikely that the president Wi.
interfere in any way with the action
of the constituted authorities of the
state of Colorado.

Pecans still attract attention from
land owners in some sections of the
state. Land can be used for them
that is not adapted to other uses. A
bearing pecan orchard is profitable
investment. Experience has proven
that no country is better adapted to
their culture than this. The indus
try bids fair to show a large'increase
in the next few years. The matter is
well worthy of investigation at least.

PLANS OF GENERAL BELL.
Sends His Ideas of the New College at
the Post

Leavenworth, Kan. Nov. 1O.-General J:
Franklin Bell, L. S. army. commandment OF
the infantry and cavalry school at this
post, has sent to the chief of staff plans
and descriptions in detail of elaborate i'm
provements in the college section OF this
post. General Bell utilities all of the pres
ent buildings. arranged with the idea OF
slightly charging the facilities of the in
stitution and increasing the accommO da-
ton for instructors and student officers.
General Bells idea has been received by
General Chaffee with favor, but it is on
such a scale that the scheme can be car
ried out only gradually from year to year
as funds may become available for the
purpose 1t is realized, of course, that
work of this kind at army posts is not as
important as that of providing barracks
and quarters for troops and their officers
of organization marked for withdrawal
from the Philippines. and outside of some
minor additions to the infantry and cav
airy school. General Bells plan will be
laid aside for a year or two when it may
be possible to obtain allotment of
sufficient amount to carry out the sugges-
ton.
General Bells recommendation met with
no opposition in Washington and 1T is re-
allied that the important institution of
which he is the head is entitled to all con-
sideratiOn and assistance.

NLiddles Now Have Homes.

Annapolis, Md, Nov. 1O.-The fact
that the Annapolis midshipmen de-
feated Pennsylvania state college by
a score of 20 to Saturday encour-
ages the navy supporters in the belief
that very much better showing will
be made against the West Point ca
diets this season than was made last
year The Improvement in form over
the week before, when the navy lost
to Swarthmore. IL to 0, was very
marked.
The specially notable points in the
Annapolis play was the drop kicking
OF Norton, who came into prominence
by scoring goal from the field
against Princeton, and the ground
gaining of Right Tackle Grady and
Right Guard Smith. Norton had two
chances for a goal from the field and
made them both. The good work of
the inemen in carrying the ball is ex-
pected to offset the work of a rather
mediocre set of backs.

CORNELL AFTER COLUMBIA.
Warner Evolves More Trick Plays for
the Ithaca Team.

Ithaca. n. Y, Nov 1O.-Coach War
ner did not lose a minutes time today
in getting the Cornell eleven into Il
hard scrimmage in preparation for the
Columbia game. He stood behind the
regulars for an hour and directed their
work. Captain Lynch was absent,
Bird filing the quarterback position.
The kicking of Furman, who will do
the punting against the New Workers,
was very erratic today.
No scoring was attempted by either
varsity or scrubs, although the reg
ulars got through the substitutes sew
eral times for gains that would have
meant touchdownS. A new play,
which the Comedians would not dis
cuss, was worked out this afternoon,
which is termed the most complicated
of any of the tricks that Coach War
ner has taught this season.
