EXHIBITS FOR FAIR.
secretary IseardOn Making Good Pro-
gress in Efforts to Get Up Ex-
hibit.

Secretary Reardon Of the Chamber
OF commerce stated today that he
has met with good results so far in
his efforts to secure exhibits from
Sumter to the State Fair. Several
manufacturers have promised to fur
nish exhibits for the fair and all of
them have not yet been seen. Some
OF those who have stated their in
tention of having exhibits are the
Rowland Buggy Company, The Sum-
ter Broom Company and the Sumter
Stave Factory. 1t has been decided
that it is too late to get up good
agricultural exhibit, and as it was
deemed best not to exhibit unless
the exhibit was a good one, it has
been practically decided not to have
one this year.

TO HAVE GREATER WHITE WAY
Eighteen Arches Will Be Strung ON
Main Street Between Canal and
Oakland.

Sumter will in the near future have
a greater white way for it was decided
at a conference of council with Mr..
T.. III. Moses of the Sumter Lighting
Company Friday morning that arches
should be strung across the street
at intervals from Oakland Avenue to
Canal Street, eighteen arches in all
to be installed crossing the street.
There are now five on the street and
this will mean the addition of thir-
teen more, giving Sumter in reality a
sure enough white way.
1t was also decided at the meeting
to grant Mr.. w. B. Boyle permission
to have a railroad side track across
Green Street at his warehouse.

NINE ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY
L
Midnight walkers Hold up Parties
and Get in Tolls of Law in Con-
sequence.

The Midnight Walkers, ten strong
were out Sunday night and they came
upon man whom they stopped and
asked for his worldly possessions.
The man handed over all his loose
change ard stick pin which one
OF the Walkers looked upon and COW
eted. This man, Joe Burress, was
then allowed to go on his way. Next
came along one Elizabeth Wright
She was also stopped and investigated
for valuables, all of these being
removed from her person before she
was allowed to proceed. Anthony
Gray came next, but in his pockets
was nothing that the Midnight Walk
ers valued and he was also allowed
to proceed.
But this was not the end of the
matter. The persons deprived Of
their possessions were not happy and
they related their experiences at the
hands Of the nightly ten to Rural Po-
liceman Sam Newman, who visited
and took in charge nine Of the ten
members Of the Midnight Walkers So
ciety, the tenth man having slipped
quietly away while the others were
being arrested. The nine men ar
rested were Joe Sumter, Vance Horny
Jake Dargan Frank R,,rraSo ;puood
Scott, Edward Mitchell, Harold

Stephenson. All Of these were
charged with highway robbery and
were lodged in Jail, but later all save
one were released on the putting up

HOT SUPPER BIG SUCCESS.
Big Crowd from Sumter and Sur.
rounding Country Enjoy Barbe-
cue.

The barbecue and hot supper at
the residence Of Mr.. G. w. Mahoney
in the Concord section of this coun-
ty on Wednesday night was a COM
pletely successful event as such
things go. There were about five
hundred people present to enjoy the
occasion and it is needless to say that
it was enjoyed by every one who at
tended. The supper was all that any
one, even an epicure in gastronomic
achievements, could wish for. There
was everything nice which a country
community can raise and then some
more for good measure. Chicken,
turkey, lamb, pork and beef, barbe-
cued and fried, and served in all
styles with the proper edibles which
went with them were there and if
anyone did not get nice plate of it,
he alone was to blame.
Perhaps the most important part
Of the transaction was the financial
part. This was also q success, for
the school realized $219 off the hot
supper and barbecue and the COM
mittee in charge considers this doing
pretty we'll for beginner.
The supper was given for the new
Concord school, which is doing good
work in that section. That interest is
taken in the school is shown by the
big crowd in attendance upon the
function which was given for the
school. =.

BRIDGE FOR RIGGENS.

Reports from Riggens are that
the cables for the suspension
bridge across the main Salmon
at that place are now in place.
Four steel cables 500 feet in
length will carry the structure,
which is to be of sufficient sta
bility and width to allow the eros
sing of team. A pipe line will
also be carried across to provide
water for the irrigation of the
large bar on the east side of the
river. The bridge will be hung
from the cables. It is now thought
that when this bridge is complet-
ed it will be a great convenience
to people living up the main river
and that it will result in much
benefit to Riggens. White Bird

CHILD DROWNED IN
CISTERN

Inc dispatches of last Satur-
Gay tell of a sad accident in the
family of Thony Aichlmayr, a for
mer Idaho county citizen of the
west side, at the home in Clark
ston, where they moved some two
years ago. Alfred, the little sew
enteen months old son, while
playing in the yard raised the
lid to the cistern and in doing
so, evidently lost his balance and
fell into the deep water, the els
tern having just been filled. Al
though the accident was discover
ed at once and the little body
lifted from the cistern within six
minutes of its occurrence by the
assistance of kindly neighbors
life was extinct, and all efforts
at resuscitation were futile. The
father was absent from home al
the time of the accident and the
mother was almost prostratec
with grief. The funeral took
place Monday.

PROTEST.

The aldermanic tie in the re-
cent Ilo election between Jim Nc
Corkle and Josh Kline is settled.
The village legal light tossed up
a dollar, and Jim grabbed the lu-
cretive job.-Nez Perce Herald.
As the above is not supposed
to be serial, the public has a
kick coming on its brevity, as
well as it's failure to tell what
became of the dollar. The natur-
al conclusion. however is that Josh
grabbed dollar at the same time
Jim grabbed the job, and if he
did he not only got the best OF
it, but thoroughly demonstrated
his superior qualifications for
holding office from the modern
critics viewpoint.

SOUTH FORK BRIDGE
RAISED.

To insure the safety of the South
Fork bridge on the Clearwater,
from the spring floods, which Su-
pervisor Geo. V. Ring says will
be unusually high this season, as
the snow has not yet begun to go
off, although the river is now high
and running like a mill race, the
east pier of the bridge has been
raised two feet. The rock cliff
on that side has also been blasted
out and fills made with stone at
the approaches, so that wagons
can cross it in safety. This work
has been done under the super
vision of Mr.. Ring at a cost of
somewheres between $175 and
5000, $115 Of which was con-
tributed by Grangeville business
men and the remainder was ma
terial furnished by the forest SER
vice. This bridge and what is
known as the "South Fork trail, ;
were constructed by the joint ef'
forts of Grangeville, Elk City
the forest service and some of the
individual miners, some three
years ago, and have since beer
maintained by them. The bridge
and the trail have been of grea
benefit to the mining country, bu
a good road is badly needed ant
should be put in at the earlies
date possible.

section will be from SO to 1O4 per
cent, and that he has come out
to make necessary arrangements
for shearing, which will begin
about May 5th. He says he has
already had an offer of $500

to be delivered in September, and
16 cents for wool, which is GER
