FIRE FIEND STILL
CREATES TERROR

Chickasha, Oct 15---The fire tiend in
Chickasha is still active. For the last
week hardly night has passed with
out a fire. They all come at about the
same hour. Two O'Clock in the morn

setting old wooden buildings afre, but
night before last he attempted to set
fire to the largest brick in the city
and right In the middle Of the best
block in the city. The flames seem to
have died out after being started as
the only evidence was a pile of burn
ed and charred boards in the rear Of
the building which were found next
morning by the proprietor.

street. The fire had evidently been
started in the rear Of the building on
the outside. The building and stock
was complete loss.
There are all sorts of rumors afioat.
Many think that the fires are being
set by weak-minded Individual.
The city officials probably win offer a
large reward in few days for the
apprehension of the criminal.

CONTROL OF ENERGY.
Is IL Possible For the Hannah Race
to Avert Extinction:

The only conceivable way In which
the human intelligence can ever sue
ceed in averting the procession of the
great year" is not by postponing the
issue. but by reversing the process.
The question is this: While energy is
being dissiDated in accordance with
the natural law. can we so manipulate
things as 10 accumulate energy, max
Ing the unavailable available-notwith-
standing the fact that cosmic processes
seem to be essentially irreversible?
Now there is assuredly no inherent
reason Why we should not accomplish
this. 1t is true that hitherto all the
atomic evolution that has been OBJ
served is atomic disintegration. We
may speak now, indeed, of the analysis
Of the elements. But so it was. we
may remember, that the older chem
istry began. and yet analytic chemis-
try was the precursor of synthetic
chemistry. We began by breaking up
compounds, but now we can make
them-can. indeed. make compounds
hitherto unknown in nature Similar
ly, it is more than probable that we
shall ere long learn to achieve the
syntheSis of the clements as well as
their analysis. No energy is ever lost
Even when the radium atom. itself the
child of the uranium atom. breaks
down and dissipates its energy, ending,
it is supposed. as the dull atom of lead,
the original energies are not destroyed
Why should they not be gathered up
again and thus again become avail
able? Are matter and energy to go on
their way, ultimately destroying the
human race? For myself. l incline to
the view that victory Will rest at last
with mans unconquerable mind

CLEARING CROSS.
History of This Ancient Landmark
of London.

OF IHts Ancient Ian ms rk
of London.
In reading English history you will
happen across numerous references to
Cbaring Cross, but the chances are you
Will wonder IL the allusion is to a real
cross erected as a memorial or simply
a crossrOad. Charing Cross was for
merry one OF the noted landmarks Of
Britain, and its history is an follows:
In November of the year 1901 Good
Queen Eleanor" as she was termed by
her loyal subjects, was called to join
her husband, who was then making an
expedition into Scotland. When Flea
nor had got as far on her way as
Grantham she sickened and died.
The remains must. Of course, be bur-
fed at Westminster, and the funeral
cortege started in that direction
During the time this royal funeral
procession was slowly winding it's
weary way toward the capital thou
sands Of people fOcked to the wayside
20 get glimpse of it. 1t was a great
event in the history of the rural dis
tricts, ana they did everything possible
TO make the solemn occasion mem
orable one. Wherever the procession
halted for the night or for other cause
The people afterward set up a memorial
One of the longest stops was made at
Charing. and subsequently richly
carved memorial cross was erected on
the site of the camp. This was the
Charing Cross Of history. 1t stood I'M
ill l64T, when the last vestge of it was
destroyed during the civil wars of
Charles L., the vandals who destroyed
the relic claiming it to be monument
of popish superstition. Charing Cross
as seen today was erected by the
Southern Railway company in the year
1860.

The Truce of God.

Many people are familiar with the
expression the truce of God" without
knowing its origin. it was attached
to a custom which arose in Aquitaine
in the middle of the eleventh century
and afterward was observed generally
in Europe. 1t was covenant popular
ly subscribed to that from the vespers
of Wednesday of holy week until Mon
day daybreak after Easter no one
should presume to take anything from
any man by violence, or to avenge
himself of his adversary, or to come
down upon a surety for his engage
ments." The violation of this covenant
was to be paid for by a fine equal in
value to the life of the infringer or by
accommodation and punishment

STEEL TRUST TO BUILD
CITY ON SAND DUNES
Will Transform Shifting Desert at Gary
Ind, Into Great Steel Manu-
featuring Capital.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Satisfied that
Gary, Ind, will be the steel capital or
the world, the directors of the United
States Steel Corporation have decided
to invest an additional s45,000,000 in
the construction of the model city and
steel plant Just across the Indiana
State line from Chicago. according to
a report received at Gary yesterday.
The $45, 900. 900 is in addition to the
original appropriation of SIS ,000, 900 es-
timated as the necessary outlay for the
building of the plant and for h for
matiCn of the city, which will house
the score of thousands of workers who
will be employed at Gary to operate
the steel mills.
The excess appropriation is to be
used in widening the scope and extent
of the steel plant proper. The cost OF
the building of Gary is included in the
first estimate. which was made when
it was proposed to transform a desert
of drifting sand into a steel manufac-
turing city.
Workmen began on June 16, 1906, to
convert the sand dunes of Lake Michi-
gan. near the mouth of Little Calumet
River, into a city to accommodate a
population of 8 10000 persons. Already.
Broadway, the principal business street,
has been constructed for three miles,
and other work has been accomplished
in proportion. Many municipal works
are planned on the requirements of q
city of 500, 900 population.

M. O. LIGHTING TOO
EXPENSIVE IN THIS CASE
Williamsburg Bridge Illumination Costs
New York $4,000 a Year with
City's Own Plant.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The electric
lighting of the Williamsburg Bridge,
it is announced, will hereafter be fur
nished by a private company, and not
by the city, as it had been confidently
thought could be economically done.
The city is now advertising for bids
for illuminating the structure. a NUM-
cipal ownership project for that pur-
pose having proven disappointing. The
bridge hss been lighted by power OBJ
tanned from an incinerator for rubbish
and waste at the bridge entrance. The
plant cost $50, 900.
Charles F.. Lacombe, chief engineer
Of light and power. found that it cost
approximately $4,000 yearly to light
the bridge from the incinerator. where
as a private company could do 1t equal
ly well for half that amount. : He,
therefore, advised the discontinuance
of h scheme. The plant will be used
only as an incinerator in the future.

BANK CLEARINGS.
Gains in Every City Except New Orleans,
Where Small Loss Is Recorded.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9,-Dun's Review to-
morrow will say:
Bank elearings in the first week of Au-
gust at all leading cities in the United
States, with the exception of two, are
in excess of preceding years, the total Of
exchanges for the week at all leading
cities outside of New York being $780,
679,371, an increase of ia per cent. over
last year and 21.5 per cent. over the cor
responding week of 1905. There is a good
gain Of every city except New Orleans,
where a small loss is recorded. and at the
West continued activity is reflected in the
exceptional totals there. The loss at New
York city still carries the total of all
cities below last year, but is almost who'll
ly due to the smaller volume of. Wall
street transactions this year.

ALABAMA WINNER
SOUTHERN SURRENDERs IN
RATE CONTROVERSY.
win Put in Eject 2 - Cent Rate Law
and Reduce Freight Charges-Jail
Threat Brought Compliance

MONTGOMERY. Ala, Aug. s.-The
Southern Railway has surrendered to the
State of Alabama. This probably marks
the end of all attempts by this railway
corporation to use the Federal courts in
defeating rate legislation in the Southern
States.
The threat by Governor Conner to arrest
every Southern employee in the State and
send all to jail should the CORPORATION
operate without a license had much to do
with the settlement. The Governor was
also about to call a special session of the
Legislature for the passage of drastic laws.
This. with the disinclination of anv Fed
eral judge to step In and enjoin the State,
made the surrender of the railroad certain.
Beginning on the first of next month the
Southern road and all its allied lines will
put into effect the 2h-cent passenger rate
and will reduce freight rates on ITO COM
modities. In recognition of this the Gov
elnor has restored the license of the rail-
way to operate in Alabama.
The corporation further agrees that it
will recognize the State courts and not
take any suits into the Federal courts
until they nave been passed upon by the
judiciary OF ALABAMA. 1t was because
the railroad took a case from the State
to the Federal that its license was
revoked.
IA Aatc icRiShdtiOns DOln dS 10 puSSen@
gers and freight, Is accepted for the time.
The agreement declares that their opera
tion Of the laws Is subject to judicial de-
termination as to their constitutionality
and reasonableness. Meanwhile the other
Law enacted by the Legislature last win
ter affecting railroads will remain under
the injunction granted by Judge Thomas
@. Jones of the Federal Court.
The railroads agree that they wiz ask
Judge Zones tn modify the restraining
orders issued two months ago so as to
permit of the immediate operation of the
two passenger and freight acts in ques-
ton. The compromise affects only the
Southern Railroad.
The restraining order issued some time
ago against the State to prevent the opera
tion Of laws affecting railroads. was today
modified in the Federal Court to allow
the Southern Railway and allied lines to
put In the two and one-haif cent passenger
fares and the State freight schedules, fix
ing the rates on commodities in the State.
This is to carry out the agreement made
between the State and the Southern Rail-
way, as a result of which the recently
cancelled license of the railway was re-
stored.
