Good Roads Agitation.

The first good roads bill introduced
at this session Of the legislature and the
one that is likely to become law, was
introduced by Senator Hodges Of John
son county.
The bill has been so prepared that
about SO per cent Of the cost is to be
paid by the adjacent land owners, Is
per cent by the township through which
the road passes and the other Is per
cent by the county. The latter pays
for all bridges and culverts, which is es-
timated will be about one-fourth the
cost Of Improvement.
The measure begins in the following
manner: Wherever a majority of the
landholders along the lines Of any regu-
larry laid out road shall petition the coun-
ty commissioners, the county commission
ers shall cause such road to be improv-
ed" The bill requires that the petition
shall state the name Of the road, the
points between which the improvements
are to be made, the kind Of improve
mens and the number of annual assess
ments. not exceeding ten. that are neces-
sary to pay for improvement.
According to this measure, the county
commissioners are to have entre charge
Of improving the roads. The work is to
be paid for by 6 per cent special improve
ment bonds issued by the county COM
missioners. The commissioners are al
lowed to appoint an overseer or superin-
tendent from among their own number
or an outside party, and he shall have
supervision of the work. The overseer
Is to be paid $3.50 per day and his
vouchers are to be paid by the county
The cost Of actual improvement shall
be paid by the landowners in the benefit
district created before the work has COM
menced, and the township. Seventy
fve per cent Of the cost is apportoned
to land owners and the rest to the town.
ship at large. The cost of constructing
all necessary bridges and culverts is to
be paid by the county at large.
The bill further provides that the land
owners in the benefit district will not
have to pay their road tax during the
time they are paying for the road i'm
provements. The annual assessments are
to be paid with the regular taxes.

Narrowly Escaped Death.

Earl Holmes of Elwood township
came very near freezing to death in the
storm Of the | Ith. He Started to town
with team and wagon through the
beating wind and snow and became
lost. He was found in the evening near
the Lonker school house about l4mles
southwest Of this city by Had White
and MI. Richie after having been out
in the storm the greater part Of the day.
He was unconscious. but sitting IN the
wagon bed and still holding the lines.
The hind wheels of the wagon had been
separated from the other part Of the
vehicle. but the bed renamed on the
fore wheels and the team was still Sc
curely hitched to the wagon. After
MIR. Holmes had lost consciousness the
team had evidently run away and were
stopped by hemming in at a fence.
When Mr.. Holmes wa: sufficiently
revived to be able to speak he could
give little account Of what happened and
was so nearly frozen that he did not
feel cold. Upon taking off hi. mittens,
MIR. White found three fingers frozen
stmy and indications Of frozen feet and
toes. MesHs. White and Ritchie put
the wagon together and took him to his
home and DR.. Gilbert Of thi. city was
phoned. Dr.. Gilbert went out and
dressed MIR. Holiness hands and
feet and brought him to the home Of ].
P.Hall in the city where he is being
given every attention. He is en-
tirely out Of dangers reach and Drs.
Gilbert and Donovan say that they
will save every finger even on the hand
that was the most frozen. which is crafty
ing news to MIR. Holiness hosts Of friends.
When he left home Mr.. Holmes had
under-estimated the severity Of the wealth
er. He rode in the wagon until he was
thoroughly chilled and then got out and
walked beside the wagon. His team
was rather spirited and they made driv-
ing difficult crowding him into the fence.
He got into the wagon again and crouch
ed down to protect himself from the
snow and wind and in this condition lost
conciousness. The road to which the
team drifted was a seldom used road
and it was indeed circumstance Of rare
fortune that Messrs. White and Ritchie
happened to travel it that evening. Had
they not done so. Mr.. Holmes would
have surely been frozen to death.
