nue. Agent Frank A. Lucas says that he
will ignore the communication he re-
ceived several days ago, and will pro-

his authority from the statutes, and not
from the Auditor. He claims that no.
where in the law is the Auditor given the
power to direct his action in the collec-
ton of delinquent taxes.

Spontaneous Combustion,

Spontaneous combustion was the cause
of a slight blaze in the Dyer block Fri
day night that was fortunately dis
covered in season to prevent any damage
being done. The painters We're slowing
their paints, oils, etc., in the little room
over the stairs on the second floor, and
ball of oiled rags used to wipe up spat-
ting drops of paint that had been. tucked
in the pocket of pair of overalls, and
thrown down by the painter in the
corner of this room at six o'clock, burst
into flames few minutes before seven.
Ira Taylor and William Jackson saw the
smoke and promptly threw the overalls,
etc. out of the window The other fire
was probably caused by spontaneous
combustion, in some of the partitions.
Persons cannot be too careful to destroy
all oily rags or waste and never leave
them in tight wad, or roll.

London, June q Mrs. W. n. Mac
MILAN, of St Louis, reached London to-
day after traversing Abyssinia at the
head of her own caravan. This American
is the first white woman to cross Emper-
or Menelik's county from west to east.
She accompanied the expedition organ
lied by her husband in November, 1903
as far as Pollum, at the base of the
Abyssinian hills. Thence Mr.. Macmillan
started for Lake Rudolf and his wife
went to Adds Abeba, the capital of Abys-
sinia, where she had a special audience of
Emperor Menelik. Mrs. MacMillan's
caravan took four weeks to Journey from
Pokum to the capital. The American
met with every courtesy form the Abvs-
sinian chiefs while on her way, and
although she traversed country sup
posed to be inhabited by hostile tribes
she saw no sign of unfriendiness. On
the contrary, hundreds of natives ex-
pected to be hostile gathered and formed
a guard of honor for the caravan for
miles along the river banks. Mrs. Mac
MILAN sails for New York July s.
