The New Phillips.

stS I'VE" VuHtipSs
Tonights performance at the New
Phillips closes the bill for the first half
of this week, and tomorrow afternoon
an entirely new program will be pre-
scented.
The work OF the Bijou Comedy Trio
still draws good audiences and pro-
fuse applause. New songs at each per-
Torrance go to make this act partic-
ularly agreeable and in a way a new
one each evening. Those who delight
in hearing pleasant singing should not
miss this opportunity OF hearing the
Sailor Boys.
Claude Thardo's comedy singing
and acting is of the first order and
takes we'll with the audiences. His
running of the names of prominent
local persons and what they have done
meets with loud hand claps from the
hearers. Mayor Schillinger, Rudolph
Leeds. Bennett Gordon and George
Gay have come in for praise at Thar
dos wit.
Miss Kitty Faye with her dramatic
piece The Prairie Queen does some
good acting, both Of the horrible
sort and the comic. The other members
of her company make admirable as.
sistants to the little woman's endea
vors.
Tomorrow will see the new bill put
on, which includes several featured
acts that are meeting with good sue
cess this season. Hoyt and Melon.

comedy playlet and the rendition OF
"Traumeri'' is said to be especially
pleasing Hoyt has q we'll modulatet

probably the smallest vaudeville team
now on the American stage.

sUSHMEN AND THE STARS.

Among a number of extremely in tcrcsting papers read before the re- cent meeting in Bloemfontein ot the south African association was one in which Father Norton. $. $. NJ, dealt with some curious native lore. The little Bushmen people have an elabor- ate and picturesque folklore gathered from the stars According to these small folk the stars were girls Killed by lightning just as the Persians heih that the stars were ghosts or men. the Australians, that they were good men; the Eski. that they were the souls of ancestors; the Germans. that they were children; the Peruvlans. that every beast had it's celstial coun- tcrpart The Bushmen call the milky way the Path of White Ashes: the Australian, the fire smoke of an an ciont race; the red men called 1t the hath of souls: the Nasal, the road across the sky: the Dutch. the Hemel- straaI; the Basuto and Zulu merely called it the neck of the sky. They had
 no name for Sirius. Of Orion's belt the fierce Nasal humorously said that three old widows Gin the belt) were following up three oid men VI" '"o swordD. The Hottentots called the PIeiades wives who shut their nus band out because he missed his game the Bantu called it the blowing con
 stelIation Tsilimena. because its rising in early morn of midwinter told the black man to turn out in the cold ana nlow for mealies. The husband of the Hottentot version there was some
 doubt about; it was probably Sche- mas. not Canopus. Jupiter was called by the Bantu Tosa-the shining knoo

 day and night round. Another form
 was Matosabosin-the drawer up or

DIMINISHED OUTPUT OF KANSAS
 BABIES.

Kansas has no forests or water ways to conserve. and if she Lad them either MT Pinchot or Mir. Burton conservation of the stork as d natural would assume jurisdiction. but the resource is matter of purely do- nestle concern. confined to state lines. now that race suicide" has dropped out of White House terminology.
 The vital statistics show a decrease of ?. 900 cocing Kansans from the mum Der born the previous year. whereas naturally there should have been an increase of at least that many. mak-
 ing the total minus, actually and constructively. 1000 babies. This Is a condition. if not problem. that cries out for immediate attention. The state
 statistician is walking the floor with
 it of nights. as the shortage is in the
 nature of an economic disaster to
 Kansas. where farm help runs shorter and shorter year upon year. The cas-
 uals from Hoboken grow more and more disinclined to work for higher prices, or, indeed. any price at all. thus making it imperative for Kan
 sas to rely upon the cradle to fill the ranks of the industrial army that
 cradles her wheat.
 Asked to explain the phenomenal | falling off in the birth rate during a
 year of bumper crops, the most pros | porous of all years, the state statis- ' tician replied that he had given the 1 subject much thought. but could only { advance the theory that this was not | the year for babies. lame and inn [ potent conclusion.
 ! A more plausible theory. perhaps [ is to he found in the fact that Kansas { has a subconscious way of doing ] things the folks of other states lack i the originality to do. For instance | how often in the past has she plunged ! into tine quicksands of isms and got 1 first place in the idiosyncrasy game | This characteristic time and again | has brought her to the verge, but as often she has pulled herself together ! in the nick of time. So it is safe tn bel
 that the candle of labor supply will ! not be allowed to burn at both ends till all IS lost but. on the contrary { after coming back to her conscious | self. Kansas will again rise. like | dissolved trust from its debris. great : CT cad more prosperous than ever.- | Washington Post.

 OF PROPERTY FOR TAXES
A Suit Brought Up On Appeal From
 Graham County.

back tax case from Graham county was brought to the supreme court yesterday on appeal. Not a great deal is involved in it, but it presents some interesting features. The appellant is Margaret F.. Deal and the appellees are the Territory of Arizona ex rel. John D. Williams. tax collector of Graham county. Charles w. Morris and Alice Hopkins Morris. his wife.
 The plaintiff was the owner of d part of d lot in Stafford on which there was one story brick business building and several other structures. all of the appellent's estimated value of about 5000 The Morrises were tenants of the property and had been for a month at the time of the be- ginning of the original action result ing in what the appellant believes was the confiscation of her property.
 In the year 1903. about the time assessments were made. she was a resident of Douglas. She was never called upon to give in her property for assessment. and did not give it in: nor was she ever informed that
  learned. when it was too late. that and that it was properly described as the west half of lot s. of block 3l. of the town of Stafford.
 This entry. it is stated. was never copied on the duplicate assessment roll, nor later into the back tax book. Suit was begun before Judge Eugene Tucker in April of 1904 for the col lection Of the taxes and the case was to be tried at the October term of that year In the complaint the property was curiously described as parts of section s, lot 1f, Stafford twp. block 31."
 The case was not tried at the October term, though there was no motion for continuance and there is nothing in the record showing why the case was continued. IL was shown. though. that Mrs. G. c. Barry was made a party defendant, though she claimed no ownership in the property and did not own it or any mart of it. The appellent states that she herself did not own any part of the property described in the complaint.
 The suit ran its course, and in due time the property of the appellent was offered for sale for taxes ana was sold to the Morrises for S1Oo. The original taxes were only SSo' Here another funny thing appears; Though the appellant states that the property was worth 5000, it was as- sessed at $500.
 The complainant says that the Morrises at the time of this sale owed her s30 for rent. and having been there ever since. they now owe her s1 500.
 The appellant brought suit to re- cover this amount as well as to have the tax deed by which the property had been conveyed to then set aside. The case was tried at th' last term of court in Graham county l and the action was dismissed

MISSION OF LETTER CARRIER.
He Holds Place of Honor Throughout the Land-No Respeeter of
 Persons.

The letter carrier will hold the place of honor at civil service examinations soon to be held throughout the length and breadth of the land. Holding a place of honor is not new experience for him For years he has held that position in every city in the country. His gray uniform is more familiar and infinitely more satisfactory to the eye than the blue coat and rounded hel- met of the policeman.
 His schedule is as well known as that of the train or the street car, and the sparkling eyes of the dimDled beauty and the faded ones of the with cred crone follow with equal interest his zigzag course down the. street. He passes on and leaves smiles, signs. or perhaps tears behind him.
 Our industrial and social life Is built so entirely on the work of the letter carrier that his coming is. or may be. an epoch in our lives. He leaves a letter with us and as we read it all the plans of lifetime are shattered and our carefully builded castles Tn Spain fall in mass of crumbled ruins. He passed on and leaves another mis- sive with hopeless neighboi and that neighbor's empty life becomes full of ioy and his barren existence blossoms as the rose.
 His democracy is unquestioned. He serves the banker and the baker with equal efficiency and if one step can be gained he will serve the cook at the back door before he does the mistress at the front entrance. He Is no respec- ten of persons. The preacher and the publican. the bondholder and the bankrupt. all look alike to him.
 He is an educative force. too. and a constant rebuke to the illiterate. He may be ranked with the teacher and the college professor He is yet more than this-he is a preacher His life breaches sobriety and integrity, while his elastic step and ruddy face preach the gospel of open air and exercise. In every way he is worthy of our con fidence and respect. We take our hat off to him.-Springfield Union.

Potatoes Shipped From Mena Hit
 Low Market.

E. N. Hopkins, who shipped car of potatoes for some of the farmers around Mena short time ago, has received his re- turns, but they are rather dis couraging. Although newspaper quotations seemed to be pretty good at that time, the potatoes shipped sold for SO cents bushel according to the commission com pany's report, and after freight and commission are taken out the farmer will get about 25 cents a bushel for his spuds.
 The principal trouble seems to be that the potatoes were shipped too late in the season 10 get a good price, but MT. Hopkins does not expect to give up. He has taken an office in the Littlejohn block, with J. l.. Horner. and is getting ready to ship apples and onions.
 By another season an effort will be made to increase the acreage and have buyers come in and pur- chase the products on the track here at Mena.
