ERRORS WERE OF
 CLERICAL NATURE
Examination of Assessors Books
 of Butler County.
NO SHORTAGES WERE FOUND
Books Could Have Been More Neatly Kept-Seventy-Five Delegates to be Selected to Attend the Farm
 CTS National Congress.

Montgomery, October 1S.-(special.) sistant Examiner Cowan has examined the tax books prepared by ". J. Nicholson. tax assessor of Butler county for the years 1897 and 1898, and has submitted his report to the governor.
 He finds the addition and calculations upon the assessment book for 1898 not cor rect and the collector was properly charge able with the amounts on same; but the as- sessments are badly scattered and the beats are not sufficiently condensed. The book for 1898 is in much better shape and is a vast improvement on the former The footings have been carried forward from page to page by beats, and a reeapitulation of all made at the close. He discovered no errors. The land book seems to be in good condition and the laws seem to have been complied with in its preparation.
 The poll book is not in good condition and should be made anew. It Is full of erasures and interineations; most of the latter are made with pencil and can be easily erased. It Is not such book as the law requires. The examiner examined number of tax payers as to the mode and manner of giv- ing in their assessments; nearly all of them testify that the oath is administered to them orally One two stated that it was not. MT. Nicholson testifies that in every instance, unless by oversight, he makes it rule to administer the oath orally.
 The governor has assigned to Commis- sioner of Agriculture Culver the task of selecting seventy-five delegates from Ala bama to the Farmers National congress, which will meet shortly at Fort Worth. Texas, and the commissioner will be glad to hear from any representative farmers in the state who can arrange to go as dele gates.

MILES CENTRAL FIGURE
Of the Reception to2 Army Heroes at
 Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., October 13.-General Miles dered to army heroes at the exposition to- day. Thousands who had been unable to see the president came out early to see General Miles and before Il o'clock the auditorium was filled to the doors.
 General Miles entered the building few minutes later, escorted by President Wattles and accompanied by his staff, Gen eral Greedy and Governor Holcomb. The governor welcomed the guests of the day. He alluded to General Miles as the hero of two wars which melted a tumut of cheers and hand -clapping which did not sub side until President Wattles led the distin- guished soldier to the front of the platform when the crowd arose and greeted him with three ringing cheers. He said:
 'I am deeply gratified that the people of the west have set aside one day of this exposition in honor of the army and navy of the United States"
 The speaker contended for the necessity of a military force commensurate with the interests and importance of the nation. There should be at least one well equipped and disciplined soldier to every 1000 of our people he said. As the nation is developed the army and navy should grow in pro- portion.
 The introduction of General A. W. Greedy was followed by another hearty demonstra- tion. His sympathetic reference to General Wheeler who had been expected at this time but who was trying to do his duty in the face of his terrible bereavement, was heard with silence that was eloquent expression of the sympathy of the" au- dience.
 The exercises closed with an address by Senator Allen who spoke in behalf of the veterans of the civil war, and then the official party adjourned to the cafe, where an elaborate luncheon was served.
