The Eighth Day Of June.
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION SELECTS THIS
AS ONE OF FOUR POINTS
IN IDAHO.

On Thursday. June sth, Weiser
will have one of the most important
events of her career, being Good
Roads convention and the organiza-
tion of Washington county associa-
tion which will be part of the ma
tional organization.
The good roads train that is Jour-
neying across the country, carrying
President Moore of the National asso-
citation and others to the Portland
convention, will be here to attend
the convention. Among those on the
train are Hon. Martin Dodge, direc-
tor Of the Office of good road inquiries
of the national government, T. P. Rix-
ley, lecturer of the association, Hon.
| William A. Bradburn, consulting en-
gineer, and a number of other experts
In good road Work.
The train will be in Utah this
week attending conventions at various
points, winding up with state con-
vention in Salt Lake on Friday and
Saturday. On Monday, June 5, it
will be at Pocatello to attend con-
vention there and at Idaho Falls the
following day. On Thursday, June
s, it will be at Weiser. And on
June 9th state convention will be
held at Boise.
This great movement throughout
the country is for the purpose of bet
tering the country roads throughout
the United States and utilizing our
money and enacting laws SO as to Sc
cure the best results from our road
resources.
This should be made gala day in
this section and the people of the
county generally should attend, as it
goes right to the root of our home
welfare and means the inculcation of
practices that will benefit every walk
of life. You cannot afford to remain
away from this important gathering.
The work of.the organization is re-
sulting in millions of dollars worth
of good permanent roads all over the
country where it seemed the people
we're financially unable to better thei,
highways.
There will be only four of these
conventions in the state at Idaho
Falls, Pocatello, Weiser and Boise
After the state is organized the con
struction train of the national organi
zation will come here at some futur
date and remain for some time t.
build one mile of macadamized roa'
and demonstrate the most approves
methods of road construction.

Joplin, Mo. June 13.-Three in
dictments charging conspiracy to
suborn bribery, giving of brides
and acceptance of brides, were re-
turned by the Federal Grand Jury
here to-day against Charles l..
BlantOn of Washington, and j. B,
Vernon of Fayette, Mo.
Blanton was employed by the
Secretary to locate sites for Post
Offices authorized by Congress. 1t
is alleged that Vernon, his cousin,
went to the towns where the Gov
eminent buildings were to be cree
ted and secured options on sites.
Blanton then purchased the sites
for the Government at a stiff ad-
vance over the option price aud
Blanton and Vernon divided pro.
fits, according to the allegations of
the indictments.
The specific case named in the
bill comes from Nevada, Mo. Sim
iliar illegal transactions, it is al
legged, occurred at Louisiana, Kirk
syille and MOberly, Mo-, and Har-
rison, Ark.
Vernon was convicted in tho
Federal Court at Hannibal, of Of
fering Blanton a bribe, and the
case is pending on appeal. An in
dictment there against BlantOn
was dismissed because of iusut1ici-
ent evidence.

Angry Negro Shoots Boy.

Last Saturday night over at
Perry, Rails county, a negro, Harve
PeytOn, and his wife and another
negro started out of town with the
buggy aud somebody threw a rock
and struck their vehicle. Peyton
had been rocked out Of town be-
fore, and he was still mad about it.
This time he pulled his revolver
and began shooting. Mrs. E. L.
Afford and little son were sitting
in their front yard and a stray ball
struck the little boy in the head.
Its force had been somewhat spent
however, and the injury proved not
serious. The negroes fled the town
with officers in pursuit. They were
brought back and lodged in the
town calaboose till Monday morn
ing when Peyton was fined 800
and the other two negroes $50 each.
The grand jury may investigate
the matter still further. Mr.. Afford
father Of the boy hurt, is an attor-
ney and has prosecuted some of the
negroes about Perry severely and
some think it was spite work that
the little boy was shot. Mrs. AL
