Alliance Between England
and y ringaI

LONDON, FEB. 10.-CCopyrght 1900
by the Associated Press )--There ex-
lists today what practically amounts to
an offensive and defensive alliance be-
tween Great Britain and Portugal. For
the past week and longer there has
been circulating through the English
press. irrespective Of party lines,
nervous apprehension Of European op-
position and a still more nervous ap-
probation OF the fact that Great Brit

national nightmare, which is not at all

ers. II the general demands for an
immediate increase in the active naval
and military strength. openly urged to
enable Great Britain to cope with the
most aggressive movements that
could possibly be credited to Russia,

with the extent to which Great Brit
ain had drained in order to support her
South African war, these manifesto
Htions OF the press and consequent
public anxiety would be easily under

much exceeds the comparatively slight

an impartial observer can scarcely help
coming to the conclusion that there
is more under the surface than news
from the continent conveys, and, after
careful investigation the Associated
Press learns this impression is quite
correct.
In fact much Of this press clamor
for tremendous armament in order
to meet unforeseen emergencies is orig
inally inspired with a view of compell-

Great Britain and Portugal. Yet, for
reasons OF diplomacy. nothing could be
more suickly officially denied in Lon

to say that all the foregoing is CLEAN

ed on impeachable authority.

PACKING HOUSE
Proposition Made by ST. Louis
to Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City, Feb. l2.-rhe Times
Journal says that Myerson, Krey & Co.
OF 81. Louis have made Oklahoma City
a proposition TO put in packing plant
providing the commercial club pro
cures foe chem a suitable site. There
are several sites here which these par
ties have signifed would do for pack
ing house, and OF course the people Of
the city will be expected to purchase
the site and doAate it to the packing
house company.
These gentlemen. who are well
known packers, visited this city several
months ago, and were so favorably
impressed that they determined TO
locate a packing house here II the
matter could be arranged. A letter
from them to the city club stated that
they will be here in n few days 70
close up the transaction. The plant
will cost in the neighborhood Of $3.50
600 or 5000 600. Work on the plant
will begin as soon as all the prelimi-
nary arrangements are closed.
AS field for q packing house this
point is an excellent location, Hogs
can be raised here cheaper than in a
colder climate, as they can feed on the
growing whaat and alfalfa all the
winter. A packing house would stim-
ulate the raising OF hogs and cattle 80
that II would become an immense in
dustry and support the institution
The plant will employ large number
OF men. which would add greatly &c
the growth Of the city.

THE GREAT SHOW.

Not only have the newspapers of
New York city recently and again
emphasized the fact, but it is gen
orally known throughout the breadth
Of the whole land, as we'll, that the
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Broth
ers' great consolidated shows, which
are to exhibit at Jackson on We'd
nesday, Sept. 10th, far surpassed
any other similar organization in the
number of wild beasts, amphibia,
elephants, horses, performing
animals, riders, aerialists, acrobats,
clowns, leapers characters, jockeys,
great artists and glorious acts, and
in the quantity and quality of en-
tertainment furnished for the
ordinary price OF admission. Among
the most notable new prodigies will
be found Hassan Ali, the Egyptian
giant, said to be the tallest man on
earth, and Tor the past two years a
big feature with the Barnum and
Bailey show in London and Great
Britain. The number of principal
male and female bareback riders has
been increased to nineteen; that of
the clowns to twenty five, and in
aerial and acrobatic departments the
additions are proportionately large
and brilliant. The grand double
street parade has been made still
more richly and uniquely attrac-
tive, and in every direction still
greater effort has been made and
greater outlay incurred to more than
meet the popular demand for cheap,
wholesome, stirring and hilarious
entertainment.

Mr.. Isaac w. Pirtle, of the 18th
district, friend and subscriber OF
the BULLETIN for thirty odd years,
was in the city Wednesday and
honored our Office with his presence.
This was his first visit to Bolivar
in many months. On the sth of
February last, he met with a seri-
Gus accident which came near cost
ing him his life. While riding in
Hatchie bottom, 3 tree fell upon
him, breaking his leg, dIslocating
his knee cap and badly bruising his
left side. The horse he was riding
was killed. For four hours he was
alone in the bottom, unable to move,
the thermometer near zero. Fin
ally his son came to his rescue, car
ried him home, where he remained
in bed for four months. We are
glad to state that he is steadily i'm
proving and hopes soon to be able to
throw away the crutches he now
uses. The old gentleman will be 80
years of age if he lives until next
January.

Troops in Philippines.

Washington, Sept. $50 far as
the War Department has made plans
for the return of the volunteer
troops from the Philippines, it is
intended to commence the home
ward movement about the middle of
November. No orders have yet
been issued on the subject, but it
will take practically all of the trans
port service at the command of the
department to accomplish the return
of the $1,000 volunteers between
the date named and June 80 of next
year, when their term of service ex-
pires by operation of law. 1t is the
intention of the department to re-
turn the organizations in the same
relative order as they were shipped
to the island, thus equalizing as
near as possible their terms of
foreign service. The above is prac-
tically the information that is being
returned in answer to the many
inquiries from friends and relatives
of the soldiers now in the Philip
pines with which the department
has been flooded for some time past.
