County Commissioner SeXson, who
was in town this week attending to
the duties Of his Office, said that his
section Of the country northwest Of
G0Odland was in great danger last
Thursday Of being run over by a large
prairie fire, which originated in Chey-
enne county. A man by the name Of
Weber, who lives six miles north Of
the Sherman county line, was burning
weeds on his farm when the fire got
away from him, and was carried rap
idly south. Mr.. SeXsOn said that the
neighbors for miles around turned out
and fought fire at every step, and only
succeeded in controlling it when il
reached the Sherman county line It
would even then have gotten away,
had il not been for a long stretch Of
snow that had drifted into the Beaver
and had not yet melted down The
fire covered a stretch Of territory
about a mile in width and six miles
long.

OLD ENGLAND's BOILED EGG.
1t May SuppIant Roast Beef as Result
of University Boat Race.

1t May SuppIant Roast Beef as Result
of University Boat Race.
Far more than a mere athletic tri-
umph was the recent victory Of the
light blue crew of Cambridge univer-
sity. 1t was the demonstration of a
great scientific principle that bids fair
to subvert the gustatory traditions Of
nation, says the New York Times
Other crews have won on form or for
tune. 1t remained for the light blue
crew of 1906 to owe their laurels to
the common farm yard egg.
On eggs they were trained-raw eggs,
poached eggs. eggs boiled soft and
eggs as hard as rocks, scrambled eggs,
fried eggs, eggs beaten up in milk and
eggs turned into omelets. Every re-
source of the culinary artist was called
into request, and in the strength of
those eggs they rowed Oxford to
standstill.
When first people heard that every
cantab polished off four eggs for
! breakfast they laughed. When they
were told that five dozen eggs were
consumed by the crew each day they
sneered, but one or two sensational
performances in practice made them
sit up and take notice.
Then the historians of the turf de-
cIared that to eggs Birmingham owed
in 1880 his victory in the st. Leger
over Priam. the Derby winner, and the
scientists came forward with uncanny
calculations of how much albumen.
proteids and other things that people
eat without knowing it an egg con-
tains. The London restaurants began
to feel the change No one would take
his breakfast his luncheon or his din
ner without an egg, and egg fiips, egg
nogg and every other drink with an
egg to it's name became the rage.
The country was secured in all di'
rections for eggs. From Brittany, Den
mark and other countries came eggs in
countless thousands. But still the de-
mand is increasing, and with the vic
tory of Cambridge it is confidently ex-
pected that the boiled egg of old Eng
land" has come to stay.

HIGH RAILWAY RATES ABROAD
Why the Railroads in England Do
Not Reduce Their
CHARGES,

WASHINGTON, April Both. Among
those who have been against the
scheme of having a government com
mission fix freight rates on the rail-
roads of the country the claim has
been made that such government
made rates would bear more heavily
on the shipper and producer than the
rates fixed by the railways.
The reason for this is that now if
there are low prices for any product
like corn or iron the railroads put
down their rate on that particular
commodity in order to help the farm
er or manufacturer reach market on
| as good terms as possible. If a
government commission fixed the
rates, however, they would be
charged on the basis of so much a
mile, and there would be no elasticity
in them because they could be chang.
ed only with the consent of the COM
mission.
Even if the roads were allowed to
reduce their rates below the level fixed
by the rate commission they would
not dare to do so because they could
not put them up after the emergency
was over without the consent of the
commission, and no political commits
sion would ever consent to letting
rates be raised.
Now an English writer who has been
studying this question in his own
country comes out with the statement
that government rate-making in Great
Britain has had Just this result of
keeping rates up higher than they
would be without government inter-
ference. The writer is Z. A. Pratt, an
! expert on this subject, who SAYS:
lone certain fact, as the result OF
all this parliamentary intervention, is
that under the operation of existing
laws railway companies now have to
be exceedingly careful before they re-
duce any particular rate-even when
they could afford to do so, because
of the difficulties they would encOunt-
/ err if circumstances might require them
/ to raise it again to its original level.
In other words, legislation intended
to safeguard the interests of the trad
ers has deprived railway rates to a
considerable degree of that element
of elasticity from which, had the
purely commercial relations of raj l.
WAYS and traders been less hampered,
advantages much more practical might
have been gained.

TRYING RECTOR FOR HERESY
Episcopal Doctrine Alleged to Have
Been AssaiIed in Pulpit and Book
by Prominent Minister.

Press dispatches announce that
before an ecclesiastical tribunal the
Rev. Algenon S. Crapsey, rector of
st. Andrews Protestant Episcopal
Church. Rochester, N. Y, is now on
trial on the charges made against him
of heresy and violation of his ordina-
nation vows.
The Episcopal Book of Common
Prayer was introduced in evidence
as one of the principal pieces of
documentary evidence against DR..
Crapsey, as we'll as a book of his own
writings, or sermons, published by
him under the title Religion and
Politics."
The presentment against him con-
tains fifteen extracts from his book,
"ReligiOn and Politics." the charge
being that he intentionally expressed
disbelief in these doctrines of the
church, the divinity of Christ, the
conception of the Holy Ghost, the
virgin birth, the bodily resurrection
and the trinity.
Frederick James Alexander, for
merly an assistant under DR.. Crap
sey, testified to certain remarks made
in the pulpit of St. Andrews by DR..
Crapsey on Dec. 81, 1905, which were
in effect that Jesus was born of
parents belonging to the middle class;
that he was born of simple father
and mother; that he was son of
Joseph the carpenter, and the fact
that the early Christians predicted a
miraculous birth to Christ was to be
regarded as one of the greatest mis-
fortunes that had ever befallen man
kind.

CONSCIENCE STRICKEN MAN.
Returns Sum of Money to Two Val
dOsta Ladies'.

Returns Sum of Money to Two VAL
dosta Ladies.
A return of conscience money, as
unusual as it was unexpected by the
recipients, is reported from Valdosta.
A young lady and her mother have
each received a check from well-to-
do and prominent citizen of another
CITY for a considerable sum. Accom-
panving the check to the young lady
was letter from the sender, stating
that eighteen or twenty years ago he
had been a clerk in the business
house of the young lady's father, and
that he had from time to time taken
sums of money from the cash drawer,
which after this long time he desired
tn restore to the owner. The party
said he could not remember how
much money he had taken, but that he
did not think it amounted to more
than he was returning. He also said
that for ten years he had been trying
to get his courage up to the point OF
making restitution. The young lady
nor her mother of course knew moth
ing of the thefts of the man thus &C
knowledged, and they were agreeably
surprised by the receipt of the checks.
