To Select New Chairman Of The
National Congressional Committee

the place. the most prominent being
Congressman Nicholas Longworth. of
Ohio: Congressman C.. B. Slemp. of
Virginia: Congressman Julius Kahn. of
California, and Congressman Patrick
II. Kelley, OF Michigan.
Just at present Congressman Kelley.
OF Michigan, seems to hold the strong
est position because OF his geograpnl-
cal location.
Congressman Slemp, who has done
very good work in the past two national
campaigns. would have q much better
chance il he came from the middle west
instead OF the south.
OF late years it has become cusom-
ary to pay almost as much attention
TO the geographical location OF the
home of the chairman of the national
congressional committee as to that or
presidential candidate.
Congressman Nicholas Longworth is
one of the brightest men IN the re
publican party and recognized leader
In the house, but because Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt is his father-in-
law, il is believed he will scarcely be
elected congressional chairman. Many
who bitterly oppose Colonel Roosevelt
will oppose Longworth, because OF
their belief his relationship with the
colonel would give the former presi-
dent too much influence I'm he Repub-
lican party councils.
A chairman may be chosen in ten
days, and any one of a dozen who are
being mentioned may get the place, no
candidate at present appearing to have
q decisive lead.

PARIS, July 15.-"After. a pause OF
somewhat unusual length" writes
Lieutenant Colonel Rousset in Liberte,
"the enemy has resumed action. He
has chosen the night following the ma
tional French fete. hoping to catch US
mapping. Such calculation was gross
but In true boche manner. The enemy
neither surprised us nor caught US
unawares The attack was begun
where we had reason to anticipate 1T.
"Our army in the Champagne. COM
manded by General G. is sustaining
the attack with the valor Il already
has shown SO often in the same
region.
sThe Champagne attack was accom-
panied by diversion on the Oured
front which our artillery in reply
stilled by it's violence and rapidity."

Am ERICANS ADVANCE IN
FACE DETERMINED ATTACK

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
ON THE MARINE, July Is, 1880 D. m.
Reports from vaux this afternoon
indicate that the Americans had ad-
vanced their line In this region in the
face OF the determined enemy attack
The advance extended a distance of
approximately 100 yards but the
Americans subsequently withdrew to
their original line for stragetic reas-
ons. Twenty-eight Germans were
taken prisoners in this sector. The
American barrage here broke up the
enemy waves and drove them back in
confusion.
In this locality 1t was not known
whether the Germans in this attack
had begun another offensive. but the
intensity OF the lighting indicated to
those near the scene that the opera
ton was a renewal Of the general
offensive that had been expected.
Word reaching here shows that the
enemy also launched an attack east
OF Rheims but on the sectors on the
front on which French and Americans
are nghting side by side the positions
are reported intact.
The American machine gunners
here let the enem come close TO their
position and then opened n deadly fire
into the advancing close formations of
Germans.
1t Is clear that the German attack
In the vaux region completely broke
down under the American counter at

his letter to Pensacola business
man, Mr.. AIdrich says: I'VE called

terests will soon discover that unless
they buckle in and help the Govern

portunity of getting supplies of all
sorts. In addition to this fact, the pa
triotic assistance to the government,
as you know, is absolutely necessary
to win this war.
The Northern manufacturers are
full Of work, and can't take on any
more. Washington is now relying
very largely on the South to coma

Of Florida, no one appearing from that

AN OLD TIME KIND OF A BOY.

Going down the creek on the south side I came to Commodore Fultz's home. On the sunny side of his house where the snow was melted his young son had his calf yoked to a minia- ture homemade log wagon. It was standing chewing it's cud as peaceful ly and contentedly as an old OK enjoy ing short rest after a hard pull. What pity that boy did not have a pair of young steers to train. In a year or two he could get into a pa rade in Little Rock and take the first prize for the most unique outfit and team of the occasion.

A DANGEROUS ROTATING PLACE.
 One day MT. w E. Bene, who lives on the bank of the Big Maumelle, where there is wide hole of water one quarter of mile long, saw all six of his horses playing and romping on the snow-covered ice. He called to them and put them back in his lot, then cut brush and piled it across their going down place. Next day they were not only down there again, but had slept on the ice. Again he put them back and piled more brush on top of the other, but they again jumped over it. He put them back, cut more brush and saplings mailing the butt end of the latter to the trees, forming a kind of q high brush pen on the ice. but they liked their nice, smooth playground and continued to jump the brush fence. As they slept each night on the ice and all six of them ran from one end of the hole to the other as hard as they could, remp- ing and playing together he was afraid they would break through and he would lose all he turned in and cut the ice inside the brush pen and stopped them that way The horses probably like it better because they had been used all their lives to rocks, stumps and brush, so could not resist the temptation of this prety level road which the fairies had made over night for them.
