There Is no bulletin to print this morning from the Montgomery Board of Health as to the health conditions Of the city. There will be no more bull letins.
 The Board of Health finds that there is no necessity of continuing its mo- notonous bulletins all of which said. There Is not a suspicious case of ill., ness in the city" This has been true since Minnihett was removed to the Emergency Hospital eleven days ago. The members of the Board who were courageous enough to make known to the public the fact that stranger had come to Montgomery infected with the disease has each day assured the peo- pie that there was not another suspl- cious case of any sort In or near Mont gomery.
 The Board met yesterday afternoon. Its members were familiar with all sickness in the city They were again convinced that there was no suspicious illness in Montgomery. This they an nounced saying at the same time the situation did not call for any more bulletins from the Board of Health. The Board of Health will continue to meet daily Its members will continue to canvass the health conditions of the city but no bulletins will be issued UT less the unexpected happens and some other stranger gets in and develops case of fever.
 Tn spite of the excessively hot wealth CT 1t is said the city is in a better con- dition fIom a sanitary standpoint than at any time in its history. Moreover, the health conditions of the city are excellent.
 Our Costly Visitor.
 In the meanwhile William Minnihetr, the imported fever victim, grows hun grier and stronger at the Emergency Hospital three miles from the city. The chief concern of Minnihett's life at present is to get something to eat. If he could get one square meal Minni- hett Is ready to avow that yellow fever Is not such a bad thing after all. But the health authorities are feeding the Louisiana man carefully. They do not want him to have any relapse, now that he has come to Montgomery, brought in the fever and is getting well of 1t. They want to send him away from here well and cured. For that reason Min nihett's diet Is of the lightest. He Is so hungry that he has to be kept care- fully watched to prevent his robbing the Emergency Hospital pantry and re- frigerator. It Is now only a question of a few days before he will be able to go his way rejoicing and the city may heave a sigh of relief at the depart ure of a visitor who has cost 1t more than any visitor who ever stopped in the city.
 The work of the fourteen sanitary officers Is being steadily pushed. Places that have not been cleaned In years have been made clean and wholesome. The light has been thrown on dark places and they have smelled strongly of disinfectants. The second house to house inspection of the city is nearing its completion Scores of complaints are made daily most of them of minor importance to the sanitary department and these complaints have been given instant attention.
 Fields Caught Again.
 Sam Fields, the suspected refugee from New Orleans, did not go south on freight train as was thought Sun day. He was arrested early yesterday morning by Patrolmen Avant and Cantey. Fields. 1t will be recalled. was put on a train for Atlanta but escaped by Jumping from a window at Tyson vile, eighteen miles from the city. He made his way back to the city and hung around Hendrix's Mill part of Sunday. He was located early yester- day morning and brought to the city. He was then put in charge of quar- antine officer and sent out of Mont gomery to another State on the first train which left the city. s-. .-.-
 A letter from boarding house keep CT in Kentwood. La, to the sanitary department yesterday confirmed the statement of Minnihett that he came from Kentwood. The letter stated that during July Minnihett had boarded at the house of the writer as he had told the city authorities here It is under stood that a previous letter from a city official of Kentwood denied that Minnihett had ever been in that place. But the keeper of the boarding house was quite positive that Minnihett had boarded with her as he said he had done. ".. .::
