1t is the proud boast of COOP and
LENT that the Mansgerie which is pre-
scented in connection with their circus
is one of the finest and most compre-
hensive ever seen with a travelling Zoo.
Besides herds of Elephants, Camels
and other graminivorous animals that
will be on exhibition, there will be
bi-horned Rhinoceros, mammoth Hip
popotamus and unnumerable other ami
mails from the remotest corners of the
earth and from the depths of the ocean
curious creatures from the frozen
north, odd fowls and birds of the air
and strange semi-domestic animals
which will be displayed under the most
commodious tent ever used for the
housing of Menagerie.
One of the most interesting features
with this exhibition is wonderful
corps of animal comedians, funny four
legged testers and amusing merry
makers of Pony land, Pig land, Monkey
land, Donkey land and all the rest of
the clowns of animaldom, who contri-
butte their share to the merriment and
laughter and ticke old and young with
their ludicrous capers
Besides the animal comedians there
are performing Elephants, Seals, Bears
Lions, Tigers, Panthers and Leopards,
forming in its completeness one of the
most unique trained congresses of do
nestle and ferocious beasts ever shown
at any one time or place. 1t is guar
anteed that these exhibitions illustrate
the extreme possibilities Of an animal
training.
The big show will exhibit in DEBORAH
on Tuesday, May End, afternoon and
evening, proceeded by one Of the most
magnificent pageants ever presented

Prosperity prevades all this section
 of Arkansas, according to figures ob- tained from railroads, manufacturing establishments, banks, wholesale and retail merchants the past fortnight, and the indications are said to be
 manifold, that the present high tide of big business and prosperous condi-
 tions will continue for an indefinite period. [
 Here in Pine Bluff there is being distributed each month sum of money among the working classes greater than has ever been distributed in the past, as salary and wages, by all classes of employers. Pine Bluffs largest establishment, the Cotton Belt shops, is now employing more men than ever before, is working on a nine- hour basis instead of the usual eight hour basis, and is spending as wages for shop employees alone, something something like $40,000. Including all employees who obtain their pay here, the Cotton Belt distributes 8 sum ap- proximating $1OO,000 per month in Pine Bluff-the which is quite a neat sum to be expended among local re- tailers and by them to the men higher up. Even more high priced skilled artisans would be employed here by the Cotton Belt, were such men ob- tainable. Machinists and boilermak-

FRENCH REPULSE ATTACK.
Germans Hurling Rain of Shells on
 Verdun Fortress.

Paris, July 22.-A strong German attack northwest of St. Die in the Vosges was repulsed last night by the French, the war office report of today says. On the Verdun front the Ger mans bombarded violently French po- sitions in the sectors of Fleury and Funin wood. In the region of Moulin Sous-Toutvent strong German recon- nOissance was dispersed.
 The statement follows:
 Between the Disc and the Aisne we dispersed strong reconnoitering party of the enemy in the region of Moulin Sous Toutvent. In the Ar gonne we exploded a mine with good results at Bolante. A surprise attack of the enemy against small position at Fille-Morte was repulsed.
 "On the right bank of the Mouse (Verdvn front) there was a violent bombardment of the sectors of Fleury and Fumin wood. An attack by the enemy on trench south of Damloup was beaten back by our fire. "In the Vosges, after a spirited bombardment, the Germans delivered an attack at Il o'clock last night against our positions northwest of St. Die. It was repulsed with heavy losses.
 "One of our aeroplane squadrons yesterday bombarded three times the railway station at Metz-Sablons, throwing 115 bombs of great size on the railway buildings and tracks. The bombardment must have caused great damage. In the course of one of these explosions a German aviator who was pursuing our squadron was brought down. One of our machines was com- pclled to land after an accident and has not returned. This morning a German aviator dropped bombs on Belfort, causing neither casualties nor damage"

CTS especially are needed at the local shops of the company, and despite the fact that these classes of work re- ceive high rate of remuneration, it appears impossible for the local shops to get enough of such employees to do the work that is now on hand to be done
 Every other local enterprise of a manufacturing nature is being pushed almost to extremes to handle the business offered it. The recently es- tablished Haas Handle factory, which moved here from Houston, is having difficulty obtaining sufficient supply of the necessary timber to be worked up into the handles for which it has offers. The several slave factories here are also working full time, and some of them overtime. The Bennett Heading company, which recently moved it's Rector mill to this city and combined the two plants, is rushed with orders and finds business condi- tions better and more promising than at any time in the past.
 The Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain traffic departments also report big increase in business the past six months, as compared with the same period a year ago. The increase aggregates 10 to 12 per cent on the number of loaded cars handled in and

 and Cutting Trolley Ropes.

As fast as the cars arrived down. town tonight the striking employees and their sympathizers made rush for them and either persuaded the crews to join the movement or else dragged | them off the cars and refused to let I them return.
 Outside of jerking trolleys, cutting trolley ropes and few fights between ] individuals, there have been no reports of violence. Mounted police are pA- trolling the downtown section in addi- tion to the regular patrolmen, and, as far as possible, keeping the crowd on the move.
 Little direct attempt, however, had been made by the police to prevent the striking employees from closing i'll on the cars and taking the crews there from.
 ] No Violence Tried. No violence has been attempted to- ward any of the crews once they have 1 been taken from the cars whether they indicate desire to join the new or ganization or not. -,l..y. .q.s e..,
 There are between 600 and 700 men employed by the company normally. The headquarters of the union declar- ed that they have all but about 100 of the men signed up with the or ganization The street railway off cials declare that not half that num- Der have left the company.
 Jitneys are doing land-office busi- ness at good prices.
 Many downtown establishments sent their employees home in motor trucks. Some firms are advertising free con veyance to various parts of the city.

London, July 22.-With the lessen ing of the intense activity which has covered the operations in Northern France since July 1. the center of interest has shifted, at least mo- mentarily, to the Russian front.
 General Sakharoff's forces continue their advance against the Austro- Germans, driving them toward the northern border of Galicia. It was expected the Austrians and Germans would make determined stand against the Russian advance. The official reports from Petrograd. how ever, indicate that the Austro-Ger- mans have failed to check Sakharoff's troops. The Russians now are west troops. The Russians now are west Of the Berestcnk and the fighting con- t'nues. Twelve thousand Austrian Germans arc said have been cap tured Thursday and Friday.
 Further successes are attending the attempt of the Russians to enter the Hungarian plains fl om Bukowina
 Lively artillery duels continue north and south of the Somme. The Ger mans are reported to be using gas shells and the British are replying vigorously t.. the bonn oardment.
 In Turkish Armenia the Russians are progressing in their advance to- ward Erzingan. Additional successes fo rthe British and Belgians against the Germans in German Africa are claimed.
