In view of the fact that Jefferson
county is moving to establish civil
jurisdiction in it's county court, it
was somewhat of a surprise to learn
that Senator Burke had introduced
a measure in the legislature to abolish
and repeal the civil jurisdiction of the
Dodge county court, a function that
has been practiced for over twenty
years. We weregiven an explanation
to Senator Burke's proposition, how
ever, by a prominent citizen of this
county few days ago. 1t was to
the effect that the Democrats of
Dodge county intend to nominate for
the office of county judge this spring
one of their most popular leaders,
gentleman who has lately filled a
county office-and he not being a
lawyer, as the judge of a court with
civil Jurisdiction must needs be, this
course is to be taken to pave the
way for his serving We do not say
positively that this is the scheme, but
it IS so rumored.

Rural Delivery of Mails.

The village of Sun Prairie, twelve
miles east Of Madison on the St. Paul
road, is at present attracting more than
usual attention because it is an expert
mental station where the plan of free
mail delivery to farmers is being tested
with a view to ascertainiLg whether
the expenses and benefits can be made
to balance.
The service was 1naugurated Novem-
Der Is, with four mounted carriers who
make one trip day. averaging twenty
the weather may be, leaving the Sun
Prairie postoff at II o'clock in the
morning, after the morning mails are
received. The routes extend six miles
north of the village aud nine miles to
the southeast.
In addition to delivering mail the
carriers also collect it, and in this
manner perform a double service for
the patrons of the office. The post
master reports that this free delivery
adds considerably to the amount Of
mail handled in his Office, one of the
reasons being that it has induced farm
ers to change their postofice address
so as to get mail delivered at their
doors, and another being because
prompt delivery has induced people to
take daily papers, when weeklies salts
fed them before.
William H. Angel, the oldest living
settler of Sun Prairie, if not of Dane
county, is an enthusiastic believer in
the possibilities Of the new system, and
saws that the farmers with whom he has
frequent dealings all express them
selves as we'll pleased with the service,
and hope that it will be continued.
The expense to the government is $25
per month for each of the four carriers,
who furnish their own horses and every
equipment except mail pouch.
Postoffice Inspector Bird says that
although the experiment has been
scheduled to last but eight months it
will in all probability be continued for
a much longer time III order to enable
a more thorough trial of the system to
be made and the authorities to become
satisfied as to the advisab ility of MAX
ing the free rural delivery general

SENATOR BENNETT is the father of a
1oill before the legislature, which, from
the fact that it proposes to revolu-
Gionize the educational supervision
of the state, will be sharply opposed.
One state board of education is pro-
posed to carry on the work now un-
der the direction of the university
regents and the normal school regents.
High schools would also come under
the proposed state board, but Sena-
tor bennett says it would not in any
way conflict with elective educational
officers.

them to take one road, while health and

will they listen to love and reason and draw
