TO COME HOME In FALL
HEALTH OF GOVERNOR JELKS
CONTINUES TO IMPROVE.
Mrs. Jelks May Return to Alabama
Soon and the Chief Executive =
Expected I'm October or
November.

Governor william d. Jelks is ex-
pected to return to Alabama and take
up the duties OF the executive ONCE in
the latter part of October or the first
part of November.
This is the belief and hope of his
friends in Montgomery and In other
parts of Alabama. They have kept
in close touch with the Governor dur
ing his stay in New Mexico and they
are of the opinion that he will remain
in the West until the heated term is
over and then return to Alabama with
renewed health and strength.
There is no authoritative ground for
the belief. that is. the Governors
physicians have not told him positively
that his term of exile from Alabama
would end in October or November.
Alabama friends have, however heard
weekly from the Governor. and from
friends in New Mexico. These COM
munications bear uniformly good It'd
ings as to the Governors condition.
These letters also indicate that the
Governor will return in the fall.
He will remain away until the hot
and humid season in the South has
passed. The season which is most
likely to encourage the Governors ILL
ness will be spent by the Governor in
the dry air of New Mexico.
Private Secretary J. Kirk Jackson
received yesterday a most encouraging
letter from the Governor. In his let
ter Governor Jelks stated that his ap-
petite was excellent and that he was
free from fever. He was. he said,
feeling fine. and Mrs. Jelks had told
him that he was looking better than
she had ever seen him.
1t is understood that the Governor
has so far advanced towards recovery
that Mrs. Jelks Is contemplating re-
turning to Alabama in the near flu
ture.

Hitchcock was then President. The
acorn came from a tree in the Peter
hof Palace grounds. near st. Peters,
burg.
This st. Petersburg tree had sprung
from an acorn presented to the Gar
by George Summer. a brother of
Charles Summer the brilliant Massa-
chusetts Senator. He had brought the
acorn from the famous oak tree that
grows near the tomb of Washington
at Mt. Vernon. These facts Secretary
Hitchcock knows in a general way,
but he has not been able to obtain any
official record of the presentation at
st. Petersburg.
The most likely account OF II recites
that Summer. who was travelling on
foot-Bayard Taylor fashion--through
Europe, tried repeatedly to get an au-
dience with the Gear. He appealed to
the American Legation, but the Uni
ted States was not a world power

hands. Summer would not give up He

so he put his hand in his pocket to

anarchist that the guard sprang upon

The Emperor had become interested,
however. and Summer made a hurried
explanation and offered to show his
credentials. The result was that this

Florence, June 21.-(SpeciaI)-A
phenomenon occurred Saturday evening
on Patton Island, just opposite the
Philadelphia furnace in the Tennessee
River, and is attracting many visitors
from Florence and the towns across
the river. For a space about a half
mile long and a hundred feet wide all
vetegation suddenly withered. leaving
a line of sharp demarcation which
looks as though II had been struck
by simeon.
The corn and cane is completely
withered and large trees have lost most
OF their leaves. No one in these
parts can account for IT except on the
general proposition that It was an
electrical phenomenon.
