"Farmer Diclc" Jones, president of the Missouri Better Roads Federation will go to Macon next Tuesday where he will be one of the principal speakers at a big road meeting.

Maj. Frank state highway engineer, and several thousand good roads men from Northern Missouri are expected to be here June 9, date has been fixed for Good Roads Day. In order to make the event a thorough success the good roads men of Macon have been touring through Macon, Shelby and Randolph counties this week for the purpose of inviting everybody to be present. Invitations have been sent out to ail the good roads men in Northern Missouri and especially to county judges and to highway engineers. Tne principal speakers will be Sydney J.

Roy, of Hannibal, and Farmer D. Jones of who is a candidate for Congress from the Second District. Mr. Jones is the humorist of the crowd. Several large manufacturing concerns send to Macon improved road machinery i'or demonstration purposes.

The local road club, acting in counjunction with the Hudson Township Commission, intends to put all the roads about Macon in tip-top order for the purpose of showing visitors what a standard earth road should be. Then there will be shown specimens of brick road and a mile and a half of hard road built according to government specifications. This latter paralels the Wabash railroaJ track, south of the city. In the forenoon of the big day the road men will be driven over town and shown all these various characters of roads, and what has been done in the way of culverts. Every ditch and draw near Macon is now'safeguarded' one of the modern culverts.

In the afternoon there wiil bo speaking in the courthouse yard and this will be followed by a demonstration of the road machinery on the highways. One of the main results hoped to be achieved by the meeting and the discussion is a systematic method for road building. It is admitted by well posted road men that Jor a great many years Missouri has wasted a large portion of its road money by unsystematic methods of road building. If all the overseers and road clubs could agree on methods and work together under the general supervision of a competent leader it is believed that the road problem in Missouri could soon be satisfactorily solved and that for every dollar expended a dollars' worth, of service would be' received. In the'neighboring county of Marion the': county court has made a road levy yields 6 0 0 0 0 a year and this is mainly devoted to the construction of hard roads.

While standard earth roads are kept up and as energetically as ever, yet every year several miles of hard road are built and this in time will mean a perfect system of hard roads throughout the county. Members of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Cross-state Highway will attend this meeting and tell what is being done with that important road enterprise. is now mark ed from end tip end so that, the traveler cannot miss the road. There are only a few bad places, and these are being removed.

For the greater part of 'the way a standard earth road exists which can- be traveled with the same comfort and speed as a city boulevard. The Macon Good Roads Club and the Macon Merchants' Association are working hand in hand to create a widespread interest in the day, and their committee on. arrangements have prepared a program embracing many important features. miles distant. Many persons endangered have fled.

No flames have been seen shooting from the mountain at any time, but hot rocks and ashes are found in abundance near the new crater. The country surrouiiding-the point of this latest eruption is indictive of its volcanic origin. This is particularly true of the three acres Bumpass Hell, where boiling springs, gey- ers and mud holes burst. Also the Devil's Kitchen, which is a reproduction of Bumpass Hell where geysers shoot to a height 3 to 10 feet. Another boiling lake covers an acre and a half of scalding hot water and is known as "Steamboat Springs." Forest Supervisor W.

J. Rushing aserts that the disturbance at Mount Lassen is one of geyser action caused by the rapid melting of snow as it slid'es down into the fissures of the crater. The large body of snow and the heat caused an immense a of steam. He does not believe there is any great danger the eruptions. FELL FROM SEW STORY WINDOW SlfSA ANN MACDONAL.D DANGJEU- OUSLY HURT.

The force of the blow as she struck the sidewalk on her head, caused a fracture of the skull and rendered her uncon- cious.

She was picked up and carried into the A. B. Macdonald home and Drs. A. J.

Simpson and H. M. Grace summoned, who pronounced injury a dangerous one. Miss Susa "Ann," who is the pet oE the neighborhood where she resides, was sitting in the window when the screen gave way, causing her to lose her balance and fall. Many anxious inquiries are received at the Maedonald home regarding her condition, as her friends are not only among the children of that part of the city, but the older people as well.

A committee was appointed to confer with the proper parties regarding the securing the fair grounds. It is understood there are some objections to the using of the fair grounds for the celebration, but it is thought this'can be overcome.

The business men of the city are heartily in L'avor of a celebration and the greater oi' them believe the a i ground is thd only suitable place to accommodate eight or ten thousand people who -will undoubtedly be here on that day. The Sunday schools in the county' are heartily in favor of the celebration and will work in conjunction with the committee in charge to make the celebration a grand success. "If half of the Sunday school nembers of the county come to the celebration we would have' 8,00 visitors here," said a member- of the association Thursday. "We think the fair grounds is the proper place to hold the celebration and hope ihose in charge will be kind enough let us have the use of the grounds for the day." A small contribution could be niade by the business men of the i for the a fine display or fire ivorks for the evening. This contribution would not mean very much to each business man and the fireworks display would make many hearts Slad.

It is to be hoped the plans under- ivay will be carried out and Chilii- cothe w.ill..hav,e an "fashioned. Fourth ot July celebration this year, and bring visitors to the city many counties. Good speakers will be present and deliver addresses during the morning anil afternoon, good music and in fact everything to make up a good tee will hold another session at m. Friday.

p. m. Wednesday evening. The session was enlivened with a most interesting analysis and comparative statement and appraisement of the water plant as made by Mr. Street, president of the water company, in 1898, with report recently made by the speaker.

Warren. Roberts, as rendered a few weeks ago. Mr. Roberts wa.s freely quizzed by the members of the committee in relation to the phases of the present plant and much other valuable i a i pertaining to requirements ot a new plant was obtained. One of the most interesting points brought out was the advisability of the city obtaining city water from wells sunk near the southern limits of the city, which, if it should be true that anjabundant supply of good water can be so obtained, would -forever settle the question of pure and wholesome water, and save the city, in case it should own its own plant, the great expense oil installing filtering system or settling basin, and it would also save the expense and up-keep of tue milo of heavy pipe main-from the city to the river, as now established.

It was also learned that the present system is what is known as the circulating system. The oommit- 4 p. NO VERDIfiHN HOYJ CASE AT3 O'CLOCK JURY BEEN OUT SINCE WJ3D- TVKSIAY AFTERNOON.

Well Known Blue Mound, Township Democrat Consents to Make Race for Vliice. ed in the Arkansas City oil field by Jones and Buell several months ago. 1 The Swensen gusher is the opening iip.of what oil men believe to be one of the greatest oil pools in existence. Jones and Buell have leased over.

60,000 acres in this field. It is the most solid block of leases in the world owned by one firm. The owners are having difficulty getting tankage at the Swenson will fast enough to catch the flow and consequently the oil is overflowing the tanks and running into the fields. Arkansas City is under the biggest strain in excitement ever experienced in this, locality. Oil men are arriving here on every train and the business at all the hotels has been doubled since the oil strike.

Oil men said today that the new gusher probably will make 1500 barrels a day when the drilling is completed.
