 A letter was received by Police Chief Adolph Gerald yesterday from William B. Watts. Chief Inspector of Police. Boston, Mass, stating that 1t was his information that George Seymour alias Nick Mullen alias John O'Neil, a white man arrested in Montgomery in 1902 for robbery had been convicted and sent to the mines at Pratt City for a term of three years on the charge of grand larceny. A photograph of Sey- mour. or o'Neil as he gave his name here. was enclosed in the letter.
 The inspector asked that a certificate of the Montgomery police record with date of release. etc. be furnished him, with the proper endorsements.
 Seymour Is from the photograph a man of good appearance and apparently 35 years old. He is wanted in Boston on different charges and the Massa- chusetts officers want to keep track of his whereabouts.
 The proper certificates will be sent to the head of the Boston Police De- partment by Chief Gerald

The firemen busied themselves yes terday rubbing off the metal parts of the big new engine that they received from the manufacturers Sunday, and whenever they had nothing else to do they went and looked admiringly at the handsome piece of fire fighting machi- nery. The nickle- plated parts were shined up so bright the effect was dag zling to the eye and the brass lozzles, the pretty nickled lamps and torch holders were placed in position to com plete the picture of the firemen's dream.
 Chief Browder said that an engineer would come to Montgomery to test the engine here and explain it's points to the engineer who will have 1t in charge here He said that 1t would then be taken around on Court Square and q public exhibition of its power given.
 We'll connect her to q plug on the Square, said the chief laughingly, and throw water down on Bibb Street"
 All who have seen the engine have been high in their admiration of its ap- pearance.

c.,t.,, screws's Prophecy.

Said an old citizen of Montgomery vesterday: "I have in my scrap book an address delivered by Captain R. Fl. Screws. at the annual meeting Of the Commercial and Industrial Association in 1901, on Montgomery fifty years from now from which the following extracts are taken:
 A Magnificent Hotel.
 ""The celebrated old Exchange Hotel. which in it's day was the storm center of much political intrigue, long since disappeared, and on the same site, hotel structure as grand and imposing as any in the Southern country, rears it's gigantic and lordly proportions.
 - Down in Court Square. which in those days was the heart or the city and where stood grotesque. insignificant little fountain. there has been erected a colossal statute of Stone- wall Jackson 300 feet high and from the top of which the city can be seen to advantage. spread out in all her winding and busy splendor.'
 The prediction in the first instance Is about to be realized already; let us Indulge the hope that the second pre- diction will "come to pass" in due time. At all events. stop the talk of putting an office building" in Court Square. The idea is repulsive. the consumma- tion would be a burning and lasting shame

Perry was out of the store and disappeared with the money was caught yesterday in Mobile and will be brought back to Montgomery today for trial. IL was known that the ne- gro formerly lived in Mobile and when the robbery was reported to police headquarters Chief A. s. Gerald wired Chief Rondcau of the Mobile Police Department a description of the negro and asking that search be made for him. He received reply from the Mobile police chief yesterday stating that a negro answering the description had been arrested and asking that MT. Perry come to Mobile and identify him as the man wanted
 The fish dealer therefore left last night to identify the prisoner and if the right man, to bring nim back. It is thought by the police that he will return to Montgomery with his former employe tonight. Struck secured the money by gaining entrance into the cash drawer and took all he found

The Depot Cars.

The feelings of a prominent Mont gomerian who had arrived at the Union passenger station on an incoming train last night were injured.
 why, he asked. do you suppose that the street cars that run to the depot stand there when a train arrived and then runs of down the street before the passengers from the train can get to it. I saw a car tonight, as did other passengers who came in on train,

A Cemetery Telephone.

A we'll known citizen of Montgomery accosted an Advertiser reporter yester- day with this question:: Will you circulate a subscription list among the citizens of this city asking them to subscribe to a fund to place a telephone in the office of the City Sexton at the cemetery?
 "No." replied the man of the pencil. but I will help you in any way I can to aid you in securing the much needed convenience"
 Well" said the man, you certainly spoke the truth when you termed q telephone in the Sextons office much needed convenience. It Is more-it is a positive necessity. know whereof speak, because I had occasion to inquire of a matter that pertained to the cemetery lot this morning and the only way I could reach him was to go to the cemetery myself or send some one.''
 "It Is probably the case every day of the year that some person wants to communicate with the Sexton and think 1t Is a shame that city of Mont gomery's size and pretensions cannot afford to have a telephone in the office of the Sexton at oakwood Cemetery"

No Need for Haste.

A gentleman from another city and a man who travels much, came into The Advertiser office after the play last night to ask. as he said, the paper to notify people that in some other cities, audiences did not get up before the fall of the curtain and obstruct the view of other people who are seated.
 ''The last scene or tableau." he said, might be the crowning feature of the performance and the theatre managers will at least give an audience five minutes to get out before they lock the doors and turn out the lights"

It may be that the cars are running on their schedule time. but it seems to me that it Is a poor scheme for them to meet train and then run away before the would-be passengers can get on it."

BUSTJE AT YANKTON
Crush, Hustle and Noise," Diluted
with Rosebud Special Brew"

Yankton, S. D.. July 16.-Yankton.
has passed the $4,000 mark in the
great Rosebud registration. The
thousands who have gone are sending
tens of thousands in their places and
the rush at the registration offices
grows more pressing day by day.
Everywhere Is rush, hustle and noise
and 1t Is no wonder that the people
coming into the city make a grand
rush for the line to stand and wait
for they are stampeeded by the bus
tie that characterizes the city. Their
lot in the line Is not q hard one, tho,
for they can rent chairs for dime II
they are on Broadway, and no matter
where they are they can get any
ment. The Capital street office Is in
the block with the Pierce hotel, the
leading hotel in the city, in the base
ment of which is the great depository
for the famous products of the great
Annheuser-B Busch brewery and no one
need go dry for lack of service. At
Broadway next door to the registration
office is the retail establishment of
Schwenk-Barth company. Their prod
uct is prophetically named Rosebud
Special Brew" Many of the visitors
think that the name was tackled on to
fit the occasion, but, like the rest of
the things that the visitors are mis-
taken about, it Is the real thing, and
has been on the market for years. One
gay party from Chillicothe, Mo-, ar
rived in a private car today over the
Northwestern. About one-half of
their number are ladies. They seemed
to be out for an outing and thoroly
enjoyed the novelty of the great reg
istration. They were promptly as
signed to private residences and they
will receive the attention that has
caused all Yankton's visitors to be so
enthusiastic about their treatment

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chamberlain, S. D., July 16.-In
circular issued by the general land Of
flee at Washington it is hoped by the
authorities that the Rosebud opening
may escape a feature of eXtortion and
blackmail that was quite general IN
the opening of the Cherokee strip
opening At that time there were a
large number of contests instituted
against the holders Of the fortunate
numbers, on grounds many times SO
trivial as to show on their face a lack
of good faith. Then after the claim
ants were sufficiently scared to pay
over a hundred or two the contest
would be dropped. In the present
opening arrangements have been
made to Immediately forward
to Washington all contests and
these contests will not only
receive the prompt. attention Of
the general land office, but the secre-
tary of the Interior the final authority,
as we'll. Unless the cases show merit
on their face they will be at once
thrown out and the land office Of
ficials at Chamberlain notified to that
effect. There will therefore be no oc-
casion for claimants who know them
selves to be honestly entitled to a
homestead right to pay over to any
one any amount for the purpose of en-
abling him to make prompt entry OIL
the land,
A constantly growing proportion Of
the daily arrivals at Chamberlain for
registration are now staying over for
the drawing, which begins here on
July %, and in a few days the city
will be filled with hopeful ones. 1t IS
certain that many thousands will be
IN town by the time the drawing COM
mences. During the first three days
of the drawing the Democrat and Reg
lister offices of this city will merge
their forces and issue daily giving
the number, name and address OF the
1000 drawn from the box each day.
This extra will be sent by mail on the
succeeding morning to any address for
25 cents for three days. The work
will not be carried higher than 5000,
because by the time that number is
reached further numbers will stand
no chance to secure land.
