It seems that there are a few popu- lists left in Kansas. At least there is one Sunflower populist, the Hon. s. J. Hale and he is his candidate for speaker of the Kansas house. He has found a mighty issue. Caps and gowns are worn by the faculty of the state university. Mir. Hale threatens to have this academic finery prohibited by stat ute. He says that the farmers "in his section" feel that the cap-and-gown would tend to the effeminacy of the students" The farmers want their boys to be men and are opposed to the introduction of Yale methods" We wonder if Mir. Hale has ever seen the Yale methods in foot ball. By the way, the notion that the wearing of a gown tends to make the wearer effeminate is a curious survival of an old and still lingering superstition, well known to students of primitive customs and folk lore. Thus a Hessian youth will put I girl baby's cap in his pocket, thinking to escape conscription thereby.-New York Sun.

YOUTHFUL PHOENIX
And How It Is Pictured in the New
 York Herald.

Thanks to the versatile pen of Miss Marie Mattingly, who spends her win ters in Phoenix and her summers in the east. and the perfection and practical application of modern photogra phy, youthful Phoenix has made a great big illustrated bow to the New York pub lie through the pages of the Herald of September 2S. Some mention was made a few days lago cf Miss Mating ly's latest effort to spread the fame of this country in the east but there was no detailed reference.
 The story is very entertaininly writ ten and with the illustrations covers -early a page Of that big paper. It is entitled Daring Feats by Little Equestriennes, and a score of Phoenix boys and girls come in for praise of their hOrsemanship and their know ledge of that iavorite of mans ami nal companions. There is a picture of Miss Marguerite Adams on her famous trick pony Daisy" and of Brian. John and Harlow Akers, children of MT. and Mrs. C. H. Akers, all three of them mounted on their wild burro which they captured on the desert. Another picture shows Dora Ambrose, a nine year-old rider who broke her own horse. Still another pictures five-year- old Dixie George, daughter of MT. and Mrs. w. L. George. mounted on her thoroughbred Kentucky charger.
 Miss Bertha Eloise Grant. the most fearless and expert child rider in the world, is pictured on her famous mount 'Silvertip" with riata conveniently at hand in case a bronco CT a wild steer should chance along while the reader is enjoying the story.
 Other local celebrities who have found favor in Miss Mattingly's in toresting page are Marguerite Wight ten years old Harry Folk, Raima Chalmers and Bertram Barr, fourteen years old, who has made his mark as T tanner of horses and Spanish mules
 It is perhaps needless tC mention that I'll these daring youthful spirits of the golden west ride astride. It always was the only sensible way to ride an Intamed horse if the rider had any consideration for his own safety. and it is surely the most comfortable. In these days it has come to be the most modest as 1t always was in the west for in this country good sense is usual ly given some consideration in ones estimate of modesty.

 THE CHICAGO TRAMP.-"The Chi cago Tramp" made quite an impression on the Phoenix public yesterday, the entertainment beginning with a free bicycle trick riding exhibition on the streets about sundown. At Doris thcater a good sized audience greeted the performance in the evening. There were some interesting comedy features in the little drama and the tramp showed that underneath his ragged clothes beat the same kind of a human heart that travels in broadcloth. There were also number of pleasing Gpccialties between acts.

WANTED-A HOMESTEAD
It Must Be Within a Mile of the
 Postoffice.

The other day man direct from Maine went into the office of the coun- ty recorder in search of information. He had just come all the way across the continent on special business and did not want to lose any time. He had heard a great deal about Phoenix and the adjacent towns of the Salt River valley and believed he would like to live here.
 What he wanted was to take up some government land. He had been driv- ing about the valley looking for place that suited him but he had evidently talked with none of the natives. He thought at first that he would like homestead north of the city but after visiting the south side country he be- lieved he could get along with a loca- ton somewhere between Phoenix and Tempe. The only condition he would impose upon the commissioner of the general land office was that the land must be within a mile of the post office Of Phoenix.
 He asked Deputy A. s. Arthur to point out to him plat of an unoccupied section; he would then go out and lock at it. He impressed upon the deputy that he need not show him any thing farther out than a mile.
 MT. Arthur told him that the office of the recorder kept no track of public lands and he added, If you find any within a mile of the city or anywhere else in the valley worth taking up. let me know and I'll be in with you"
 This man had been reading with avidity all the literature on the subject of the Salt River valley obtainable and believed himself to be thoroughly equipped with ali the information he needed to become settler. This thing of growing up with the country in the Salt River valley is a tradition. The country is already grown up.

with it. When he was overtaken he got into a fight with his pursuer
 He had the appearance of hobo and he was at once put down for jail sentence. He made a statement to the court that he had been drunk for eight weeks and knew very little of what had happend in that time. He had no in tention, he said, of stealing and gen orally set up the plea of irresponsi- bility. The charge of larceny was dis missed and the court previous to sen tencing him for disturbance of the peace delivered him a lecture on the evil of intemperance. Eight weeks the court said was too long for a man to remain drunk. A debauch ought not to be prolonged beyond seven weeks and even that might be too long. Some men ought not drink more than twice a day and in cases in which strong drink tends to larceny none should be taken.
 Having finished the lecture the court administered the sentence, ten days in the county jail or the payment of $1O The, mentioning of the alternative was a pure formality, the court believed, so that the justice fell from the bench when Phillips asked if an officer would be permitted to go to the bank with him: he wanted to draw the amount of his fine. The fine was paid
 The whole deposit might have been converted into the school fund if the court had known of its existence, so that Justice Burnett believes that he has been remiss in net knowing of it. He also thinks that Phillips might be prosecuted on the charge of obtaining things of value by false representation. That lecture alcne was worth much more than the amount Of the fine. John B. Cough used to get s150 for a single temperance lecture.

DESTRUCTION OF ENTIRE COTTON
CROP,
Would Gave Been the Result in Ncwberry
Couety IL Mr.. j. IL. Suber, from TexsS.
Had Opened a Small Bottle In His
Possession COntaiuing Mexican
Boil WeeVil-..

Mr.. j. H. Suber, of Bryan, Texas,
arrived in the city Thursday night on a
visit to relatives here. He brought
with him, in a small bottle, enough
Mexican boil weevils to destroy the
entire cotton crop of Newberry County.
This weevil is the insect that is at
present causing so much trouble in the
State of Texas. It first made its ap-
pearance there in 1900, but not much
attention was given it until the follow
ing year, 1901, when it had sufficiently
increased in numbers to do considerable
damage. At the present time Mr. Suber
says there are whole fields Of cotton,
ON good bottom land worth $40an acre,
in his own county, in which owing to
the onslaughts of this small insect,
there will not be ever an attempt to
pick any cotton. . He has been living
in Texas twenty-five years, during
which time he has been over a consld-
cradle portion of the State, and says ne
has never seen as poor a crop.
The weevil begins its work early in
the spring, when the cotton commences
fruiting. 1t p~unctures the square and
feeds from the inside of the boil. Be-
sidss cotton it attacks fruit and acorns.
MIR. Suber says the worst part of the
whole matter is that it looks as if the
weevil has come to stay. The cotton
planters of Texas are simply helpless
in its power.
Some time ago the United States
government appropriated $4,000 and
sent experts to look into the matter,
but so far all their efforts and expert
ments have been of no avail. The
| weevil continues to flourish, and with
the exception of a very small portion,
has covered the entire State.
MI. Suber said he knew this state Of
| affairs was going to have a very ap'
| preciable effec4 on the Texas crop anc
| therefore on the total crop of the South,
but he was not prepared to attempt tc
make an estimate. He said, however,
that some of the Texas people did not
look upon it as altogether an unmixec
evil. For it would teach them that
Texas land will raise other crops thar
cotton, a fact of which most of then
| do not now take advantage, and If ii
would encourage more diversified farm
ing, it would be regarded by some az
almost a providential interference
This is the view taken by Mr.. Subel
I himself.
However, the farmers of Newberry
County need not become alarmed
| However much MIR. Suber may favor
diversified farming, he did not bring
| his weeyils with the intention of de-
stroying Newberry's cotton crop, anc
| they have been burned in the presence
of MI. w. A. Hill. Being dead, they
are now good weevills and theEonly kinc
wanted in South Carolina.
