given very satisfactory results from
their fine appearance and shipping
qualities The trees are leafed out

are planted thirty feet apart, with
peaches as filters. Peaches and
apples bear in three and five years,
respectively. When the apple tree
requires more space, say in ten
years, the peaches are cut out.

Wichita, Kan. Aug. 21.-When w.
c. Richards of this city called at the

was originally mailed from New Or
leans and dated December "a. 1898.
The letter had been written to his
mother when he was two years old
ard was from William Cooper of New
Orleans. Mr.. Richards had been named
after Mr. Cooper, who had written to
the mother expressing his apprecia-
ton. AS he was too young to under
stand the letter at the lime, his mother
placed it away with her 7xeepsakes and
only few days ago Mr.. Richards sis
ter, who was looking over her de-
ceased mothers belongings. found it
and mailed it.
The letter, which is 73 years old, is
exceedingly interesting. That was be-
fore the history of envelopes and a
wax stamp on the loose fold of the
back side of the paper held it closed,
also a twenty-five stamp mark showed
the necessary amount of postage re-
quired for its delivery

travel on the Mississippi river at that
time. 1t also gave a vivid account of

l''Brown,'' which occurred near New
Orleans. The explosion killed the cap
tain and severely wounded many of the

The Statehood Bill Has Passed Both
Houses of Congress.

Washington. Aug. 21.-statehood

awaits only the perfunctory approval
OF President Taft. The Flood-Smith
resolution admitting these territories
INTO the Union with the judiciary re-
call feature of the Arizona constitution
eliminated to meet the objection which
caused President Taft to veto the
original statehood bill was passed by
the house without the formality of
roll call.
Having been passed by the senate in
tne identical language the resolution
VIII go to the White House as soon as
the vice president and speaker formal
~ attach their signatures to the meas
nfe. NO attempt was made in the
mouse to pass over the presidents veto
the original bill which contained the
judicial recall provision.
Inc Joint resolution provides for Ari-
zona's admission with the constitution
adopted by the convention of June 20,
1910, and later ratified by the Arizon
voters, upon the fundamental condi-
tion,' that article 8 of the constitution
relating to the recall of public officers
shall be held and construed not to ap-
ply to judicial officers and that the Ari-
zona people shall give their assent to
that construction.
The president is required within 80
days after approval of the measure to
certify the fact to the governor of Ari-
zona, who within 80 days thereafter
must proclaim an election to be held
between 60 days and 80 days after the
proclamation to vote upon article s
and to vote for state and other officers.
If a majority Of the voters ratify the
construction to except judicial officers
from the recalI-such a construction
will become part of the Arizona consti-
tuition. The president will then issue a
proclamation and upon its issuance
Arizona will become a state.

DECLARE GUARD WAS DRUGGED.
Soldier from Whom Two Prisoners
Escaped Says He Drank Water.

Leavenworth, Kan. Aug. 21.-That
Private Jesse T. Webb, from whom
two prisoners escaped at Fort Leaven-
worth last Thursday night, was drug
ged now is thought a certainty. Upon
regaining his power of speech in the
post hospital yesterday he explained
that while guarding the men he took d
drink of water, after which he knew
nothing An investigation into the
case still is under way.
When he regained consciousness last
night the first question he asked was:
Am [ arrested 2"
When the prisoners escaped is not
known by Webb. He says that after
he took the drink of water he fell to
the ground and that was all he knew
until regaining consciousness in the
hospital.
The case, unusual as it is, has caused
no little discussion at the post. Officers
are Of different opinions, some think
ing Webb partook of liquor, while
others think he was drugged by
friends of one or the other Of the
prisoners.
