AUTAUGA's GOOD OFFICIALS.
Examiner German Reports on their
 mtw

Examiner German Reports on their
 Accounts.
 According to reports submitted yes- terday to Governor Jelks by State Ex- aminer of Public Accounts John T. German. Autauga county Is fortunate ir having an efficient and capable set of public officials.
 Examiner German spent a week in Prattville checking and Investigating the books and accounts of the officials of Autauga. He tells the Governor that the accounts are correct and that the books are neatly and accurately kept. Only one error was found-a difference of $10 in the accounts of T. w. Smith clerk of the circuit court, MT. Smith received $10 too much in settling with the State Convict De- partment. As soon as his attention was called to this error Mir. Smith re- mitted the money to cover the over drawn account. Otherwise his books were found to be correct and he was commended for efficiency.
 Other officials whose books and ac- counts were found to be correct and who were praised by MT. German for their systematic methods were: Tax Assessor J. D. Deramus. Sheriff G. A McWilliams, Tax Collector R.. B, Jones Probate Judge G. s. Livingston and w. W. Hinton ex-superintendent of education.

 The special train with the King, the Prince of Wales and their suites left Portsmouth for London amid thun- ders of salutes and the cheering of the crowds while the bands played the Spanish national anthem. The train travelled without incident except that it was brought to a standstill Ky an obstruction on the line at Burlington, four and a half miles from Ports mouth. At first 1t was thought this obstruction had been purposely placed there, but 1t was subsequently, learned that piece of the roof of the Earling- a1n depot had been blown off.
 The King tonight dined quietly with King Edward and the royal family at Buckingham palace.

MAY POLICE REPORT.
Amount Collected from all Sources wa
 Al .20O.0O

Amount Collected from all Sources was
 eI,2eO.eO.
 The report of the Montgomery Po- lice Department for May which was Gladden. Harrison gives undisputed evidence that the department is in a fiourishing condition.
 The total amount collected from all sources during the past month was $1,296.60, of which $1S2 came in cash fines from the Recorders Court. Eighty-nve dollars and twenty-fiv cents was collected on back cases and revenue to the amount of $15 came from City Pound. For hauling dead stock $1.50 was added to the total amount of money collected during the month. For female labor furnished Henderson and Henderson on the con- vict farm near the city. S12.S5 was realized.
 Sergeant Harrison was much pleased with the showing made during May and as an evidence that the department was doing more and better work than same month for several previous years. In May, 1904, he said the report showed a total amount collected of $1,122; in May, 1903, the amount was $9S6.50, in the same month of 1902, $532 was the amount of collections and in May, 1901, the amount was $447.30- just about a third of the money re- ceived into the Police treasury this past month"
 It Is believed that the addition of the patrol wagon will aid the patrolmen a great deal in their work and that the department will be in every way bet ter off with its use. The wagon stands useless in the city building as there are no horses to draw it and no men available to man it if the wagon was equipped with motive power.

ALFONSO IN LONDON.
Spanish King Reaches Big Capital of
 Old EuGlaud.

London, June 5.--Alfonso XIII, the young king of Spain, was welcomed 10 England today with the most elabo- rate ceremonies, every detail of which was supervised by King Edward hi,n- self. Never in the case of a reception of a national visitor has greater atten- tion been paid to detail, or more care full preparation made for magnifi- cent display. If only the weather had been propitious the reception proba- bly would have been the most brilliant ever accorded a foreign visitor to Eng land. A deluge of rain at Portsmouth and at London, however, fnarred all the spectacular effects.
 The day, which broke drearily in France, increased in gloom as the British royal yacht Victoria and AL bert crossed the Channel from Cher bourg accompanied by a strong escort of British cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers. Approaching the mouth of the harbor the royal yacht passed through line afeer line of Gre { Brit aims greatest fighting vessels nLIecked with flags and flying the Spanish en- sign and a score of which fired the royal salute. These war vessels re- sembled phantom ships as the Vtc- toria and Albert. emerging from the haze, passed the saluting ranks. The young king, who wore the uniform of a British general, with the ribbon of the Order of the Garter. stood on deck, evidently keenly enjoying the spec &acle in spite of the pouring rain.
 The Prince of Wales. representing King Edward, awaited the yacht on the dock with a guard of honor and immediately after the gangway was run over went on board and welcomed Ahe Spanish ruler, while at the same time the princess standard broke out alongside that of the august visitor. Their respeceive suites were then in- troduced and subsequently the Mayor and corporation of Portsmouth pre- scented his majesty with an address of welcome, responding to which the King said:
 'T wish to all in this great empire

TEMAGAMI.

Nimrod was a mighty hunter, but had he hunted in the "Temagami" region he would have been a mightier one. Nim- rod hunted for glory. but Temagamians hunt for game Those Indians who made the first canoe of birch bark long ago. were our greatest benefactors. The children~of those Indians know the ca- noe, and they know how to use it. and if you go to Temagami this summer they will paddle your canoe in their own superb way. They will be the best guides you ever had, an dthey will take you through the rivers. lakes. forests and hunting grounds their ancestors once called home. they will tell you of the tricks and habits of the bears. bea- vers moose, caribou and deer. An! the Indians know. for once they were mightier hunters than ancient Nimrod. Students who camp in summer along the Temagami lakes are able to do two years work in one. Business men who camp under the Temagami skies never stop at the hospital or go into bank ruptcy. Easy of access by the Grand Trunk Railway system. For informa- tion address. Wm. Robinson. 506 Park Building, PittsburR. Pa.

SEIDLE HOME BURNED.
WASHINGTON STREET RESIDENCE
 DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Defective Flue Caused . Loss of over e2.00O which was Covered by In- surance-Other Houses En-
 dangered.

Fire which was discovered at 1:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon In the kitchen of the residence of W. W. Sell dle. 4i5 Washington street. almost completely destroyed the house and entailed a loss estimated at $2,O0O which is protected by insurance
 The home of s. Leuchter at 417 Washington street, next door on the east side of the burning house was damaged by smoke and water to the extent of $100 or more and the roof of the frame house on the west side of the Seidle house was damaged to the amount of probably $75. This house was occupied by Rosa Lattimore and Hattie Banks negresses.
 brisk wind was blowing at the time of the fire and the firemen had hard work for some time in prevent ing the spread of the flames. A great smoke arose from the burning house and several hundred persons collected at the scene to watch the work of the firemen. A good portion of the house hold goods of MT. Seidle's family were removed from the house by willing helpers before they were touched by the raging fire but much of the furni- ture and other effects were destroyed. The roof of the house was completely burned and caved in before the blaze was extinguished.
 
 was carried by MT. Seidle on the house and $1,000 insurance was held on the household goods.
 The house occupied by MT. Leuchter was not damaged materially but his household furnishings suffered by smoke and water to the extent of prob ably $100. He held insurance of $1,000 on his household goods.
 The cottage occupied by the negro women was owned by Kohn and Sons and suffered only by the burning of a small portion of the roof
 The fire is believed to have origi- mated from a defective nue in the kitchen of the Seidle house and had a good start before the firemen could reach the scene. The department was commended by the spectators for the excellent work accomplished in check ing the spread of the fire.
 The department answered an alarm at 12:45 o'clock to the home of J. H. Clancy, 510 South Court street, where the roof had caught fire from sparks from a chimney. The damage was trivial.

ROAD TAX IS REDUCED
PROLONGED DEBATE BY BOARD OF
 REVENUE.
General County Tax Was Not Changed. Clerk Westcott Submitted Ex- pense Account for Month
 of May.

The Board of Revenue of Montgomery County at its regular weekly meeting yesterday fixed the rate of county tax ation for the coming year.
 The general tax on property was not changed, but the tax for the road and one mill. The county license tax was fixed at 20 per cent of the amount levied by the State.
 The property tax was as usual fixed at per cent The special tax for the road and bridge fund was adopted after heated and prolonged argument. in which W. D. Brown and C. l.. Matthews urged that the tax be abolished. while H. H. Barnes and Dr. Thomas Duncan urged that 1t remain at one mill as was the case last year.
 President Houghton took a stand between the two and urged that a spe- cial tax of one-haf of one mill be adopted.
 The argument was entirely informal and impersonal, but before the question was decided Tax Assessor A. H. Flu banks was called in. He gave as his opinion that the assessment of this year would fall short by $400,00O of last year. and that the special tax could be easily stood by the property owners.
 The Board finally agreed on MT. Houghton's proposition. There was no
 
 levies.
 Mrs. Thomas M Owen of Montgom- cry appeared before the Board and urged an appropriation for the Boys Industrial School at East Lake. No action was taken.
 Tax Collector c. W. Halls presented the list of errors and insolvencies in the tax books for the year. The errors amounted to $4477o, and the insolven- cies to $217.
