DATE THIEVES
The Capitol Grounds Despoiled by
 Vandals.

For several years the horticulturists of southern Arizona have been greatly interested in the experiments concern
 ing the date palm, and properly so, be- cause the government authorities be- leve that there is a section of country in this neighborhood with suitable climate and soil possessing the natural elements necessary to the fruitful growth of this ancient fooi-beaTing tree, which is almost the staff of life
 to many people in Asia and Africa. Yet there is an element among the people living in Phosnix that cares little for
 the initial care that is given to the
 few fruiting date palms growing in this
 neighborhood, ani it is necessary to
 protect the fruit from pliers.
 Last night some malignant person or
 persons ripped open the screen pro tecting a tree on the capitol grounds and cut away the largest bunch of oates. and gathered about three-fourths of the remaining fruit. which was ap- preaching the ripening stage. The 1 taking of a few pounds of fruit may not be Ieprobated in some quarters. on the othsr hand when special protection has been bestowed on the first fruitage of a class of trees that are likely to oe an important food factor and
 which is being watched by many in tere sted horticulturists to prove the suitability or otherwise of the date palm for the Salt River valley. the damage done by a class of people un- der such circumstances is reprehensi- ble and all right-minded citizens would
 not regret the enforcement of the law.
 could the thieves be found, and it ! would be well if the public guardians | took a little more care of the public property in and about the town. The occasional appearance of the police

 class of persons who are apt to ap- 1 propriate other peoples property.

A BIG STAG ELK
Run Down in the Palace Restaura mt
 and Found to Be 40 Years Old.

Jack Gibson was forty years old yes terday. This statement is made for the reason that his good looks and youth ful actions have led many ladies to be lieve that he was much younger. though forty years is not necessarily an indication of dotage. and gray hairs are honorable. Besides, if he was q hundred years old it could not be con strued to be his fault. But this is not an apology, for Jack is proud of it. lie likes to have good time. and has been making a speciality of birthdays for some years past.
 The latest anniversary did not come upon him suddenly. either. He has fait it creeping up for some time past and knowing that ne would want to give a dinner to his friends he sent over to California few weeks ago for F.. Levy to b. on hand in the capacity of chef That is where Levy shines. IT il were not for him a lot of the boys in this town would never have birth day. Levy came on time. and last eve ming the Palace r. staurant was turned over to him. At the appointed hour the guests assembled. There were thir- teen of them. but that didn't make any difference, for it was neither Tuesday TOT Friday and all conditions have to be right for the hoodoo to accomplish anything. It would take a pretty livc.y hoodoo keep up with him even If th.; conditions weresright. and m ordinary hoodoo could reach him except with a pole.
 The host appeared. smiling little more than usual and looking fully ten years younger than he had any right 70 do. and feeling like two year old colt. His great age does not seem to have withered him up great deal and he says he is going to stop growing tall before he has another birthday. which he calculates will occur some time in 1902 if he can keep track of his chef. The guests were jolly crowd and each one brought his best nature and his appetite with him. and made no effort to conceal either of them.
 one of Jacks Prescott friends. who is an astronomer. saw by the stars that his birthday was about due. 90 he sent him an Elk's, pin. for of all the Elks MT. Gibson is the biggest old stag in the bunch and is proud of his horns. This particular pin is a beauty. The body of it is gold and the ears and col lar are covered with diamonds. He IS as proud of it as he would be of bran new race horse and differs from other elks in that he never expects it to shed these hcrns-
 Dan Mccarthy. familiarly Known throughout California as White Hat" Mc CaIthy. or the "Horseman of Pork vile" hearing that Jack wcs to have a birthday. sent him a present. which. like the fabled waters searched for by Ponce de Leon. is said to turn back time and make one young again. Jack and Mccarthy have never met. but the fame of the two horsemen is such th;l. to all lovers of the steed both ar" lrr q history better than his own.
 Jack never does anything by halves. and no better spread ever graced Il board than that partaken of last night by his guests. who all hope his shadow may never grow less" nor his "eye' fail to look their way on his next birth day.

McKEE'S CASH STORE
SUIT FOR COMMISSION
On the Selling of the Great Scott
 Mine.

J. A. Porterie yesterday began suit in district court against A. r. Gunther to collect a commission on a sale Of mining property. The complaint states that Gunther about September l. 1900. employed Porterie to find him a pur- chaser for the Great Scott mine in the Black Rock district. Gunther held the mine at $45.000. and according to the terms of employment Porterie was to receive ten per cent of the price in the event of the sale. A sale was made at that figure. the complaint alleging that rhe plaintiff had brought the seller and purchaser together. He received from Gunther s176.50 and says he has since been unable to collect any more of the commission. He accordingly brings suit for s4323.50. In the same action the plaintiff garnishees the Phoenix Ma tional bank and the Valley bank.
 Suit was also brought by E.. G. Car uthers of Gila Bend against C. H. Will

Is that of the Germans at Bluemenau,
I'm the state OF Santa CatharIna, In
spite OF liberal Inducements this colony
received only 10000 immigrants during
the last hfty years.
Under the monarchy Mr. Seegur re-
ports, strong efforts were made by the
national government to obtain colon
lists from Europe especially from Ger
many. 1t cannot be said that these ef-
forts were conspieuously successful.
The German government prohibited
immigration to Brazil until 1896 when
the prohibition was removed, Besides
the province Of Santa Catharina there
are many German subjects In Rio
Grande do Sui. Mr. Seegur closes his
report by saying that as a rule only a
very small percentage Of the colonsts,
one or two per cent, preserve their
original nationality.
