 The Board of County Commissioners today fixed the tax rate for this coun- ty for the ensuing fiscal year at 4 1-2 mills, the same as heretofore. despite a report from the County Treasurer to the effect that the Board would have to take some steps to increase the receipts of the county if 1t did not want to have a deficit. Commissioner Cowley took issue with Treasurer Stone as to the probability of deficit, and said that he did not believe there will be any. He then moved the tax rate be the same as las tyear which was adopted. The rate for licenses was fixed at the same as last year. one half of those imposed by the State.

TUBES WAS SURPRISED

 AGAINST HIM.
Declares He is Not a Heretic and Holds No Opinions Not Taught in Methodist Theological
 Schools.

Salina. kas., June 10.-Prof. Frank D. 1uDos. recently removed from the Chair of Natural Science in the Weslyan University for alleged heresy said today of his case:
 Il knew nothing of the movement to oust mo until the thing was actually done. It is usual to give notice of a month or SO before action of that kind Is taken. l am not a heretic. I chal- lenge any member of the Board of Trustees. auy preacher in the North west Kansas Conference or any one else to point out a single utterance of mine that he has heard that is in op- position to the doctrines of the Meth odist Church.
 ''I am a consistent believer in eVolu- tion as the method which God has em- ployed to bring things about in this world. I don't believe God had gone about his work in a haphazard man. ner. but has had a distinct method. Ev- olution is the only theory of this method adopted and taught by promi- nent scientists of the world today.
 'I believe in the right of every man to inquire where the Bible came from, who wrote it and what it's purposes are. The ideas which result from such investigations are naturally various, and while I am not a teacher of this subject. hold no opinions that are not taught in the regular authorized theo- logical schools of the Methodist Church. whose teachers are elected by the Bishops of the church.
 Bishop Vincent fully questioned my beliefs. approved them and re-appoint- ed me to the Seminary"
 The opponents of Dr. Tubbs refuse to make any direct chargs against him other than that his teachings are not in accord with the doctrines of the Church. Nearly all the Methodist the ological schools are represented in the No"rhwNst Kansas Conference and most of them are supporters of Dr. Tubbs. but the older and more ortho- dox ministers are in the majority and control the Kansas Weslyan Univer- SitV

ACCUSED OF ROBBERY
E. DE BARpELEBEN IS ARREST
 ED IN SELMA.
E. A. Roberts Says the Former Stole Pocketbook Containing a Lsrge Amount of Money.
 Police Court.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, June 10.
 Saturday night about Il o'clock the police authorities arrested Elijah De Bardelaben, a young white man whose home is in Montgomery, on a charge of robbery. The warrant was sworn out by E. A. Roberts, a linesman for the Postal Telegraph Company. It seems that DeBardelaben and Roberts got in box car on the fast freight train from Montgomery to Selma at Mont gomery. On the way over both of the men went to sleep and did not wake up until the train had reached Selma. Roberts claim sto have lost a pocket hook on the way which contained $340. After reaching the city DeBardelaben began drinking and gave M. O. Walk CT. who runs a saloon on Alabama street. $40 to keep for him. DeBar- delaben says that it is his hard earned savings. Roberts claims that during bis sleep in the box car his pocket book must have rolled out and that DeBardaleben must have got it, for. he says. when he woke up. both his money and DeBardaleben were gone and after looking for him and not being able to. find DeBardaleben, he reported the matter to the Police De- partment. DeBardaleben was arrest ed late Saturday night, but claims that he knows nothing about the affair and that he brought the money that he put on deposit at Mir. Walkers saloon from Montgomery
 Roberts swore out an attachment for the $40 Saturday night and the paper was served on MT. Walker for thA money.
 DeBardaleben's case was called in Police Court this morning but was con- tinued until tomorrow as the defend ants lawyer was in Montgomery at- tending the Supreme Court.
 Yesterday morning shortly after 2 o'clock small blaze was seen to emerge from the cupola of the new Court House, the flames rapidly spreading all over that part of the structure which was entirely of wood. The fire began in the cupola- near the top and by the time the alarm was sent in from box 21 the whole dome was brightly burning. There was not breath of air stirring and the sparks were for the most part extinguished before they touched adjacent roofs.
 The fire companies responded quick ly. The water pressure was excellent and the fire laddies succeeded in extin- gushing the flames within an hour. The roof, which is covered with terra cotta, was not injured, though the dome fell over on 1t, nor was any other s@s %es %se@

GOOD PLACE FOR LAZY MEN.
Life in the Azores is an Ideal One for
 Those of Luxurious Tastes.

Boston Transcript.
 Henry Sandman, the we'll known Boston artist, who with his family, is now pleasantly located in the Azores writes home most enthusiastically of the place and the air of hospitality which is to be found everywhere. Fancy the joy of living" he writes, ''in place where you do not breakfast till Il. dine at and have tea at 10:3 where it's always warm and comfort able; where everyone on the street bows to you and runs eagerly to do you some service; where there are great. large tropical gardens filled with every flower in the world, familiar and strange: where fish, the most delicious imaginable. are pulled from the sea on- to the fire. and thence to your table where you can live like Duke for 90 cents day and where you can go to church every day in the week if you are fond enough of sculpture and carv- ing, fairer than you have ever seen elsewhere"

part of the building damaged to any extent except by water.
 There is hardly a doubt but that the fire was the work of an incendiary. There had been no work in the cupola Saturday nor for days before, and evidently some one climbed up in the place and after spreading oil about started the blaze.
