Joint Meeting
OF Jury and Tax-Paxers.

The Police Jury meets in regular
monthly session next Thursday
and viii hold a conference with
the committee Of taxpayers, COM
posed of twelve citizens, two from
each ward.
This committee was consulted
by the Police Jury before the
goodroads" contract was signed
with the State Board of Control.
Not only was it consulted but the
proposition was submitted to a
vote and not a dissenting voice
was heard. The unanimous deci-
sion of this committee at that
time was accepted By the Jury as
suggesting the will OF the Peo-
pie and accordingly immediate
action was taken.
The Jury did not act in haste
and is not to blame il the model
dirt roads during a rainy spell are
nothing but mud roads.
We are therefore confronted
with the stubborn fact that roads
made of dirt are not permanent
and will always cause trouble and
disappointment.
The joint meeting announced
for Thursday next viii, no doubt,
take up this as well as the Court
house proposition.
The Meschaeebe does not think
that we should drop the building
of model highways altogether.
What has already been done can
be improved by surfacing with
gravel and the perrnanency of the
road assured. The preliminary
work required in such work is
done and paid for and only the
cost of the gravel is to be consi-
dered,

Bad Roads.

Ex-Governor Sanders best hit
in his talk here was the statement
that good roads are a great deal
cheaper than bad roads. Only
rich people can afford bad roads, +"
he said, and he is right. IF this
State was not as beautifully
blessed as it is, we neyelA could
make a living with the terrible
handicap we have in the bad roads
during four or five months of the
year. Assumption Pioneer. -

PHOENIX BUYER
 IS FOUND DEAD

PHoENIX. Dec. 4.-The dead body of R. r. Scott. manager of a dry goodsstore here was found by the roadside three miles from town just before noon yesterday. It was thought that he killed himself by tak- ing poison. but c. II. Stevens. a step- son. said that Scott had no reason fer taking his own life, and attributed his death to an attack cf heart failure. to which he is said to have been subject.
 The body was found by Will Kay and John Hurley on the Thomas road leading west from Central avenue.
 Without disturbing the body other than to assure themselves that life was extinct one of them went on to the nearest telephone and communi- cated with Coroner Johnstone, who immediately went to the scene.
 The body was lying face down. wards with the head bent slightly for ward. In the fingers of the right hand, from which the glove had been removed, was the butt of a half smoked cigar. Near the body was a blue bottle labelled Promo Seltser.' but which contained traces of a liquid colorless and odorless. The cork wa not found immediately but was iis- covered in some weeds nearby after careful search.
 In the pockets were an Imperial OrxAn faced ,yol1 ,zyo4oh ,-f,h -;bL.. szN and monogram charm, two key. rings on on of which his name and a former address in the city were engraved. two pairs Of scissors commonly used by dry goods clerks and 8 nickel in money.
 Ii is the opinion of Justice John. stone and others who were at the scene that death must have been in stantaneous. The natural colors per sisted in the face. and the cigar still held in the fingers could point to no other conclusion.
 It is supposed that the bottle con tained cyanide Of potassium, as no other poison would have so speedy an effect. This idea seems to be borne out by the fact that there was a reorganization Of yellowish liquid which. owing to the inclined position of the head, escaped through the nos trils.
 Scott had family consisting of wife and three step-sons. the youngest a youth Of 12 or 15. His family lif5 was happy, 1t is said
