The Campbell Bros. circus has

a
come and gone and everybody
was well pleased with it. The
very heavy rain in the morning
tended to keep many away, but
as it was, over two thousand
people saw the show. 1t was q
great day for the small boys,
from the time the unloading be-
gan in the morning until the
train left town in the evening.
The parade was good: the side
show, as usual, was a AXE, and
the circus itself, very good. The
number of performers was small,
but every one was an expert.
Perhaps the best features OF the
show were TO be found in the alb
sence OF al vulgarity in the show
and OF all kinds OF grating.
These are usually the worst evils
OF a circus, but the Campbell
Bros. have very successfully
eliminated it from their perform
ance.

Tuscumbia, Ala, Dec. S.-That the
Illinois Central railroad is planning to
reach north Alabama territory is true

despite the failure of all efforts to
draw any of the party into a CONVEX
sation which might throw some light
on their presence here, there is a well.
developed rumor current that the party
represents the Illinois Central railroad.
and that the maneuvering in this vi.
cinity practically means that the Hi

controlled by the Southern and Louis

Forthcoming From Castro's Govern

viii Take Active Steps.
London, Dec. 8.-Premier Balfour
announced in the house of commons
today that an ultimatum had been sent
to Venezuela and that in the event of
satisfactory reply not having been
received, the British and German gov
eTnments would take measures to en-
force their claims against that coun-
try.
Mr.. Balfour, when questioned on the
Venezuelan situation by the Liberal
leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
man, said:
For the past two years we have
had grave cause for complaint on va
rious occasions of unjustifable inter
ference by the Venezuela government
with the liberty and property of her
subjects. No pains has been spared
by the British government to obtain an
anicable settlement of these questions
but in none of them have satisfactory
explanations been forthcoming. Lat
terly, the representations of the British
minister have been practically unno-
ticed. There are also causes in
which British subjects and companies
have large claims We have been act
ing in conjunction with the German
government which also has large
claims against Venezuela. A final
communication has been made to the
Venezuelan government by our min
lister and the German charge d'affaires.
II no satisfactory reply is received the
governments have decided to take such
measures as are necessary to enforce
their claims"
