WbRICk ROADS
IN THE COUNTRY
ARE OF BENEFIT.
Winter is Source Of Dread to Every
Farmer in the Black Lands
Of Illinois.

The new brick roads in the eoun-
try near Paris, Newman and DAN
vile. Illinois, are attracting consid-
cradle attention just at this time Of
the year. Other communities which
have enjoyed good roads in summer
but must now give them up in VIM
ter, are naturally envious of these
favored spots in Illinois where the
good road continues throughout the
whole year, regardless of weather.
Anybody can have fair road in the
summer time---if 1t don't rain--but
only the people along the permanent
pavement can forget the weather.
Winter is source Of dread to
every farmer in the back lands of
Illinois. He knows that the roads
will become locked up, too deep in
frozen ruts or soft mud to permit
comfortable travel. In fact they be-
come impossible. for travel OF any
kind. Suppose you read in the paper
in the dead of winter of an advance
in the price Of grain or other COM
modify; if you live ON the brick
paved roadway you can load your
wagon to its full capacity and drive
to the market in any weather. No
social events are denied the farmer
on account of the roads IL he lives
on or near such payement-he
can always travel
Many brick roads have been but t
in New York state and Ohio. es-
pecially in the vicinity of Cleveland
In the latter state. Business men
in the city of Cleveland live out as
far as fifteen miles, on their farms,
and daily drive to and from the city.
That county has one thousand miles
of brick roads.
In the last ten years land values
in that country about Cleveland have
increased from s172.0oo. 900 to
$605.519, ,o0o--nearly four times in
va'ue. Much of the increase is con
ceded to be due to the system of per-
manent roads. Illinois is just wax
ing up to the Importance of such
roads, and what they mean in the
way OF rural comforts and values.
Much is heard these days about

paducah, Ky, Jan. 10.--Bessic
Rutman, alias Meisberger. who was
arrested with Frank Meisberger,
charged with knowledge of the MUIR
der of Frank Longnecker. fur
buyer Of Cincinnati. Ohio, made a
partial confession this afternoon to
the Livington county officers. She
alleges that James Wells. who Is also
under arrest, killed .Longneckcr and
placed his body on Rondeau Island,
near Golconda. Illinois.
Ever since her arrest tho woman
has been care free and talkative, but
when James Wells and Pearl Wells
were taken TO the Livingston county
Jail at Smithland, Ky. yesterday af-
ternoon, she became worried and
sent for the officers She con-
fessed that her name is Bessie Rut-
man, which the officers had already
learned, and that she was not the
wife OF Meisberger She said that
Longnecker was coming down the
Ohio river with them, and OH seyara!
occasions she heard Wells say that
he had to get rid Of Longnecker.
One night before Christmas she
says that Wells and Longneeker got
into small boat and left the two
houseboats. She says that later
Wells returned alone. Wells is crod-
tied with telling them that he had
murdered Longnecker and placed his
body On an island under a pile oil
brush. where it would never be
| found.
She refused to involve Meisberger
In any way, and while the officers
believe her story they will make
further efforts to obtain more of the
details. She signed her confession
and was sworn by County Judge
Clarke.
Wells Is said to be from Owens.

circumstantial evidence Is sufficient
TO convict the four people under ar
rest. They think that Longnecker
was killed aboard the boat and
then carried to the island.
