While there has been q wave Of rail-
road development in the lower hall OF

movement which begot inspiration ard
generated the fever elsewhere, and prorr1'

attention of the State has been at,

kWea Point in voting that eorporafion
1000 for right of way and terminals,
by large majority, and now there i a
movement on foot to inspire the same
people to vote $40, 900 Issue of bonds
for the West Point and Houston, pro
posed independent line, projected to run
northwest through Clay and Chickasaw
counties and form junction there with
the Mobile, jackson and Kansas City
and the Southern's Calhoun City branch
The citizens Of Houston have already got

will vote a $4,000 Issue for the encopr-

agitsted with view to having that pro

1t seems quite certain that II the West
Point and Houston is built to the latter
point, it will not stop there, as there
is fine field for exploitation through

"BUFF ALO BILL" is COMING
Fresh From European TIiumphs
The Wild West Is Once More
Touring America.

After touring Great Britain and
Continental Europe for he past
four years Buffalo Bills Wild West
and Congress of Rough Riders of
the World is home again. Arrange
ments have been perfected for the
exhibition to appear in this city.
Exactly as given in Madison
square Garden, New York CITY.
when the show opened its tour this
spring, the performance will be
presented without curtailment or
changes OF any sort.
Buffalo Bill has been abroad so
Long that his home coming affords
what is practically a novelty in
arenlc entertainment. During his
labseno, the little folks have grown
into youths and young ladies and
those of us who saw the exhibition
years aIyo will take equal interest in
seeing ii all over again. There will
be real ncNAty provided in many
! features OF the program and for the
homecoming tour of this foremost
among arenic institutions, two spec
tacular features have been prepared
as special attractions.
| During the four separate tours
of Europe which Buffalo Bill has
made, he has presented his histori-
cal entertainment in eighteen diff
ferent countries, before crowned
heads and plebeahs, and in a vast
majority of instances where an
English -)speaking person was n
rarity. But m all his travels he has
depicted the conquest and eventual
civilization of the Indian and has
presented scenes of historic events
with unfailing fidelity and with
success which has astounded the
skeptical. lle has done mora than
any other American to open the
4, book of our early history before
the eyes OF Europeans and they have
looked with admdring eyes upon
the wonders there unfolded.
While the exhibition will be
practically new this season, the
= display will, of course, conform to
the general style of entertainment
which Col. VIM. +. Cody (''Buffalo
Bill" has always presented; historical
in its fundamental principal, orilsi-
nal in ITS conception and main
Itainance, unique as an arenic enter
tainment, and in a class all by

LOOTING
COMPLETE
Nothing Left of the Alleg-
heny National Bank bysl
Montgomery.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 22--The at
fairs of the Allegheny National
bank, wrecked by the alleged pecu-
Ilatlons df ITS cashier, WNlllam
Montgomery, is now entirely in
the hands of strangers. Receiver
Robert Lyons having released all
'of the old force and put new
clerks to work.
Receiver Lyons has so far de-
clined to make an estimate on the
condition of the bank, but intimate5
that the shortage is much heavier
than has been officially reported
and that the wreck Is likely to
prove as bad as that of the En-
tcrprise National bank of Allegheny
several years ago, when 1t was
discovered after the suicide of the
cashier, II. lee Clark, that the
bank had been looted practically
of everything.
The individual bondsmen who
furnished the city's security against
loss upon it's $1,5OO,OOO deposits,
1t is understood, are preparing to
settle with the city. They are direc-
tors and stockholders of the bank.
