TWO ALARMS YESTERDAY.

Neither Gave the Fireman Any Work.
 The firemen had two long runs yes- terday afternoon and in each case after driving the Fire Department horses in running gallop found not a spark of fire on which to exert their expectant energies.
 The first alarm was at 5:20 o'clock and was received in fire headauarters over the telephone. The sender of the message without calling any name said that there was a fire at the corner of Court Street and Jefferson Davis Ave- nue. When the trucks reached the cor ner named in the message, they found neither fire nor anyone who had seen or heard anything of one. It is be- lieved that 1t was the work of some thoughtless person who merely wished to see the firemen turn out to an alarm.
 At 7:45 o'clock the Department was called to the storehouse at 6 HIlliard Street. occupied by A. R. Goodson and owned by P. J. Anderson, where fire had started in an unknown way fin a storeroom connected to the store build ing. The blaze was discovered before 1t reached serious dimensions. and was extinguished before the arrival of inc firemen. Mir. Goodson said that he had $7o0 insurance on his stock, but that the fire was so insignificant he counted his loss as merely nothing.

SALE OF FINE STOCK FLOODED CATTLE BROUGHT MOD-
 ERATE PRICES. Some of Cattle Sold Were Prise Win- ners at Worlds Fair Campbell Russell Sold
 the Cattle.

The opening yesterday of the third series of pure bred beef cattle. which Campbell Russell of Hereford. I. T., has held in Montgomery, brought together a considerable number of the leading stock men of the State. but the prices realized were not up to those of pre- vious sales, nor so good as the quail Hy of the offerings would seem to jus tify.
 Among the cattle shipped here for the sale were five of the prize win ners at the St. Louis Worlds Fair, and of these two were sold, Judge B. M |. Allen of Birmingham, secured Royal March 10th, 1S2560 at the bargain fig- ure of yl5o, and G. W. Thomas of Ma rion, the heifer. Quail End, 192050, for $110, which competent judges say Is but little more than half her value. Other prominent buyers were Will Ad- ams of Pike County, who bought the Shorthorn bull, Robin Hood; P. H. Eel lows of DeFuniak Springs. Fla. who got Judge Stewart, a fine 2-year- old Shorthorn bull; E. I. Fenn & Co.,, of Thompson. Ala. and E. H. Patterson of Morgansville, who bought several head each.
 These cattle are still on the grounds and with those to be sold today make a show of good cattle that are well worth seeing, even by those who have no idea of buying.
 Among them is the famous imported Hereford bull, Royal March 125S4S, bred by Edward Yeld, Lomenster, Eng land, a prize winner at the Interna- xional Live Stock Show at Chicago, and q sire of a number of the prize win- ners at St. Louis. and in the heifers are Daisy Wilton, 193627. and Genoa Belle, 194148, both excellent speci- nens of the breed.
 MT. D. H. Marbury of Marbury has a fine herd of Shorthorns at the stock pens also, and altogether 1t is the best opportunity to see fine lot of cattle that those interested have had a chance to see in this section. The pens are 9p<n to visitors at any time today and S~eryone Is welcome.

CONVICT TWINE.
Sold at a Much Lower Price Than
 That Established by the Trust.
 Topeka, Kan, Special to St. Louis

 Sold at a Much Lower Price Than
 That Established by the Trust.
 Topeka, Kan, Special to St. Louis
 Republic.
 Conyicts in the Kansas State Peni- tentiary have for four years been mak- ing twine for use in the harvest fields with profit to the State and the farm CT.
 In every year except the first since the plant has been in operation twine has been sold at 2 to 1-2 cents lower than the price established by the twine trust.
 In May and June of this year Kan sas prison made twine was sold in the open market 2 and 1I-2 cents lower than the output of the trust.
 The plant in the Kansas penitenti- ary began to manufacture twine in May. 1900. Very little twine was made in the first season and it is hard to tell the value of the output, as the prison officials were changed In the year ended June 30. 1902, the output amounted to $112.221.13. This was increased to S1S9,36O.OS for the year ended June 30, 1903. In the year end ed with June 30, 1904. the output amounted to $219.499.70. The busi- ness of the plant is increasing each year and the prison is able to supply only part of the demand for twine.
 In the four years the plan has been in operation 1t has made $6S,o00 for the State.
 The prison officials favor an in- crease of capacity in the plant and will advocate that the ~5S,000 profit be used to buy more machinery, and, if possible, double the present capac- ity.
 The Kansas farmer thinks little about the land of the hsnequin plant that prospers because the farmer far to the north needs twine. The hene- quin plant needs sisal. and from the sisal the twine is made.
 The ancient Mayas of the Yucatan peninsula worshipped the henequin plant as a miracle because 1t was able to root and flourish on a pile of stones. The modern Yucateco. wheth- er>Maya. masitza or creole, bows down to the ugly growth with equal regard. for 1t has made Yucatan the richest State, per capita, in the world. Even the plantation labofers have made so much money that 1t is necessary to import labor constantly from other States to fill the places of those re- tiring upon incompetencies.
 Like Century Plant.
 The plant Is a cousin of the aloe or century plant. Its long, thick, fleshy leaves are a mass of flores laid parallel like the strings fin celery, only much closer. These flores when extracted and dried make tine best binder twine to be had and in many other ways supplant Manila hemp.
 The trade with foreign countries, In which Yucatan exchanges the nene- auin for the luxuries of life has in a few years built up the town of Pro- gresso from a port of fortnightly call by one steamer to a place where thir- ty steamers frequently lie in the ofr- ing unable to get to the docks.

AMUsEMENTs.

corn was something to be proud of. From one field of twenty-eight acres he gathered 1.400 bushels, an average of fifty bushels per acre. One of the twenty-eight acres was so luxuriant that he measured the corn from that one spot embracing just one acre, and he got eighty-eight barrels. He brought a sample of the corn to town with him, and I do not think I ever saw finer corn. This model farmer is MT. G. w. searcy who lives south of Greenville about eight miles.
 A few days since two negro men on the plantation of Circuit Clerk Ira wick. got into difficulty. when one of them slew the other. The murderer was captured and a preliminary trial is being held today at Monterey. near where the killing took place. solic- itor Gamble was sent for to represent the State.
 Last week c. c. Henderson and Dunk sirmon went on a deer and bear hunt in Baldwin County. They were gone about a week, but were successful in killing two fine bears. One of them weighed 400 pounds. The other was smaller, but was of good size. Each of the Greenville hunters killed a bear. MT. Sirmon killed a very fine buck, lully 6lOWh
 This is not the first time these gen. tlemen have been on these hunts. and every time they succeed in bringing home bear meat.
 In this county all the old officers were e-elected except Circuit Clerk. and three of the County Commissioners. The officers have all taken the oath of office and await their commissions, ex- cept the newly elected Clerk. He has not yet taken charge of the office The old Clerk says he Is ready to give 1t up when the new Clerk wants it.
 L. l.. Stelnhart will leave this after noon for Demopolls, where he will in future reside. MT. Steinhart Is a son of Col. Albert Steinhart, and has been practicing law in this city for the past two or three years. He Is young man of fine education and has considerable ability as a lawyer. He has many friends in the county who regret very much to see him leave for another home, for he is very popular in Green vile.
 The new Catholic Church is rapidly nearing completion. A few more weeks and it will be ready for occu- pancy. They have only to complete the interior. All the outside work Is fin- ished and 1t Is one of the handsomest churches in the city. The patchwork Is all covered with cement and gravel. glvit.. the building the appearance of being built entirely of stone.

HE WAS AN ACTOR
BUT TT MADE NO DIFFERENCE TO
 THE POLICE.
They Took James Rider of old England to the Police station for Dis0rderly Con-
 0ucf.

Montgomery patrolmen are not afraid of factor men" from great cities, no matter how handsome they are or what clothes they wear. This was proved early yesterday morning when Patrolmen Thorn and Jones ar- rested James Rider, a member of the Dolly Warden company which played at the Montgomery Theatre Monday night for disorderly conduct in which he was engaged at the corner of Dex- ter Avenue and Lawrence Street. The actor man had been drinking and when the patrolmenT demonstrated with him for violating one of the city sani- tary laws. he became insolent and in- sisted on keeping up his conduct.
 Then the officers told him he was under arrest and would have to go with them to the city prison. He drew himself up proudly, as do actor men on the stage, and said in manner calm "Avaunt thee. cops; will have none of thee"
 Violently he shook off the restrain ing hands of the guardians of tho law, betrying his surging emotions "to do or die" A we'll directed blow of the patrolman's fight destroyer cooled his angry passions a bit and he whispered mildly An me legs fall me not, I will go." but he added trag- ically T will return
 After his name and address which he gave as Merry England had been duly recorded on the police docket by the Sergeant his bond was made for his appearance in court yesterday af- ternoon and he was released. As the company had to leave the city for sel- ma yesterday morning at o'clock, he came to Police Headquarters ear Her in the morning and compromised his cases at $1o and costs in each one--disorderly conduct and resisting an officer. Twentv-six jingling dol- lars paid out of his purse and a good big 6not-size of hens egg on his head-gave Rider, ''the actor man" from the Old Country a much more intelligent view of the Montgomery Police Department than he had prev- ious of his visit.

Good Days Hunting.

Police Captain W. H. Taylor and Patrolman oscar McDade returned to last night after days hunting at McDade's Crossing, a station of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad about eighteen miles from the city with thirty-eight birds as the showing for their days sport. The men left early yesterday morning with the avowed i'm tention of making cartridges take to the woods and they returned satisfied with the work of their determination.

A stream of sisal hemp pours out of Yucatan. and a torrent of pianos, canned foods. automobiles, books, pie tures. carpets, statues. gasoline stoves. street cars, photographs elec- tric light plants, coal and other con- venfences of the life rushes in
 The industry is not a new one. In 1880 the tinted States bought 1,Ss3 bales. In the year ending October 1, 1908. 5ss,zi2 bales. of value of near ly cents a pound. came in. At an average of $50 pounds a bale, this means about $1e.o0o.ooo in gold was paid to the people of the barren Mex ican State.
 1t was in 1881 when the demand for binder twine, becoming larger through the spread of the binding machine, sent up the price of sisal. In 1898 the upsetting Of the Manila hemp in- dustries caused sisal to be used for so many other purposes that the price scared from cents to 10 cents and small planters in Yucatan became mil. lionaires in a few months Since that time sisal has held its own in the market and a wonderful transforma- ton has been wrought where 1t Is grown.
 Though thousands of experiments have been made in other subtropical
 
 soils and with other fibrous plants, nothing has been found that will sup- plant henequin, and there Is no place outside of the peninsula where it will grow satisfactorily.
 When the boom came American capitalists hastened to Yucatan, but were met by a dogged determination on the part of the landholders there not to sell foot of ground to outsid- CTS. As all were prosperous. there was no way of forcing conclusions, and one after the other large compa- nies have given up hopes of getting q chance to grow the plant that makes millionaires.
 To keep thir laborers the planters resort to methods that would be revelation even in the United States. If planter has 800 iaborers he will not only provide them with homes adjacent to ihs hacienda, but will pro- vide a doctor. A priest, a church, colths. food. tools. garden seeds. im- ported delicacies and liquors.

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are taken out and scraped and polished and put back, or they may be removed entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the place of diseased sections of veins; antiseptic dressings are applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like in juries before inflammation sets in, which causes them to heal without maturation and in one-third of the time required by the old treatment. Chamberiain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an antiseptic and when applied to such injuries, causes them to heal very quickly. It also allays the pain aud soreness. Keep bottle of Pain Balm in your house and it will save you time and money, not to mention the inconven- fence and suffering which such injuries entail. For sale by all druggists.
