 Major Charles Gordon Newman, editor of the Pine Buff Commeg- cial who has been observing the river for the past 42 years, says that never has the bank failed to cave in to the extent of from 10 to 15 feet back, following the receding of high waters, since he has been watching it.

TO RETIRE CANNON.
| House Members in Rebellion Against
The Speaker.

Washington, ID. c.. July 26.--Real
war has been opened on Speaker
Cannon, according to advices reach
ing here from various western dis
tricts. 1t may result, in case the
house is republican by but a narrow
margin, in dethroning him and elect
ing some other man as speaker.
Friends of Speaker Cannon admit
much danger turks in this movement
to force the retirement of the Dan
vile leader. 1t appears that in a
number of districts candidates for
republican nomination are being
asked to pledge themselves If elected
to the house not to vote for Cannon
rof speaker 1t is said here that at
least three Nebraska candidates for
congress on the republican ticket will
be required to take this pledge.
In Kansas the same movement Is on
foot and it has been quietly talked in
one or two Iowa districts.
1t is apparent that this movement
may be coupled with large conse-
quences. Should dozen or so re-
publican members of the house be
pledged against "Uncle joe" In case
the democrats had within small num-
bers Of majority In the house 1t
would be impossible for Speaker
Cannon to be reelected.

After a seven hour conference with
William j. Bryan and John w. Kern,
respectively democratic nominees for
president and vice president, the sub
committee of the national democratic
committee yesterday made its selec-
lions OF the officers of the committee.
1t was the first time in many years
that national chairman has been Sc
lected by the democratic party only
after bitter contest had been waged.
The choice of Mr.. Mack was made pos
sible only after the national leaders,
charles +. Murphy of Tammany and
w. j. Connors, chairman of the state
democratic committee, had yielded to
the personal desires of Mr.. Bryan.
When the democratic nominee for
president reached here yesterday he
was strongly in favor of Mr.. Mack
for the place, but Mr.. Bryan frankly
told the committee that he wished
them to consider all candidates and
make an appointment accordingly.
There were in the race besides Mr..
Mack, Judge M. J. Wade of Iowa, T..
10. Ryan of Wisconsin, former COVER
nor James e. Campbell of Ohio and
,Urey Woodson of Kentucky.
, The selection of Mr.. Mack came
only after two important long dis
tance telephone conversations one
with William J. Connors at Buffalo,
N. Y, and the other with Charles
Murphy, the Tammany leader in New
york. Mr.. Connors is reported to
|have told Mr.. Mack that Mr.. Mack
would be acceptable to him as nation
al chairman if Mr.. Murphy would also
accept him. Mr.. Connors was asked
IF he would telephone Mr.. Murphy to
that effect. but Mr.. Connors replied
that he preferred that Mr.. Mack do
Ihis own talking with New York.
The proposition was then put to Mr..
Murphy, and it is said the Tammany
Header declared that Mr.. Mack would
Ibe acceptable to him if he would con-
fine his operations to the duties of
national chairmaN and not interfere
in New York politics.
John |. Martin was reelected ser.
geant-at-arms and Urey Woodson was
reelected secretary of the democratic
national committee
L. P. Hall of Nebraska was chosen
vice chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee
Governor Haskell of Oklahoma was
chosen treasurer Of the democratic
national committee
So'pleased was Mr.. Bryan with the
result that he gave out a statement in
which he openly announced that the
appointment is recognition of the
eastern democracy and that a fight
will be made to carry New York

A magnificent artesian well was.
struck last week by party OF coal
prospectors who were working on
the farm of William Moran. near the
town of Moran, five miles northwest
of Granger A 4-inch hole had been
sunk to a depth of about $40 feet
when the water rushed out in an i'm
mense stream. Efforts to check the
flow were unavailing and it is so
strong that when confined to pipe
it sends a steady stream to height
of fifteen feet.
Mr.. Moran is much pleased with
the find and intends to convey the
water by means of pipes and n.y.
draulic ram to all parts of his farm.
The water is of fine quality, accord
ing to the statement of Des Moines
man who was present and the well
is considered a most valuable find to
the owner of the land. The flow Is
sufficient to provide abundance OF
water to several farms in the neigh
borhood and it is of the finest quality.
Many sightseers are coming to the
Moran farm to witness the unusual
spectacle.
