Rural Delivery In Brookfeld.

A PETITION FOR IT STATING WHAT RURAL
 DELIVERY IS.
 Two copies of petition for rural de- livery are being circulated in Brookfield. It states that the signatures to the protest against rural delivery were procured largely through misrepresentation as to what rural delivery consists. A copy of some recent newspaper items are attached to the petition as an illustration of the misinformation employed in the news papers and in conversation. Particular attention Is called to the unfounded assertion published that the mail would not be delivered to each house, but on some corner in boxes in the out-district, and that newspapers would not be re- ceived until stale. The petition states that under the rural delivery system of the United States the mail will be deliv- cred to every house in the town daily, in letter box placed upon the dooryard fence in front of each house. If the morning papers be subscribed for they will receive them upon the day of pub- lication. The rural mail facilities will be inceased rather than diminished. Boxes for the deposit of letters will be located at the crossroads and at other con- venient places in every section, and col. lected from daily. The mail carriers will travel provided with a supply of postage stamps, postal cards and books for the registry of letters.
 They ask the Postmaster General to disregsrd the protest and permit them in common with the remainder of the county to receive the light to Illuminate the darkness of their present Isolation. It would be disgrace to the fair renown of the town, since the earliest times in American history, to have 1t now arrayed in opposition to progress, to civilization and to enlightenment.
 In conclusion, the petition says, the circumstance of 1t having been possible in the village portion of the town, con- tiguous to postoffices, for such ignorance to prevail in reference to so familiar an institution as rural delivery, is . strong argument In support of the necessity for It, to convey the intelligence of the daily newspapers to every household. d.-[H.

REMARKABLE WEATHER.


 It seemed in 1899 that two or three times the weather had broken loose from all previous records in the line of storms and temperature ranges. But the wealth CT of last week is certainly not to be en- tirely left out of account. On four morn ings the temperature was below freezing, being 27 degrees on Thursday, the ground remaining frozen in the shade till half past nine. On Wednesday noon, the day before, it was 70, dropping 43 degrees in A hours. From 27 jumping to sS Mon- day, showing range of 61 degrees, 8 range seldom occurring. This is cranky, even for New England.
 IN GRANGE CIRCLEs. Quite number of the members of Brookfield Grange attended the regular meeting of Bridgewater Grange, No. 153, last week.

MACOMB HAS SCHOOL
New Board of Trustees Decides
the Location on the First
Ballot.
ALEDo CLAIMS IT WAS FIXED"
President SearIe Stands BY Mer-
Ger County Town-.Vote
q to-.

As was to be expected, in view of
the influence directed by the state ad-
ministration, Macomb won out in the
contest for the location of the pro-
posed Western Illinois Normal school.
The decisive vote was cast at o'clock
last night at Springfield. But one
ballot was taken by the new board.
The vote stood four for Macomb and
two for Aledo. Charles j.. Searle.
president of the board, and Alfred
Baylis, state superintendent of public
instruction, voted for Aledo, and B.
NJ. Chipperfeld, 8. P. Robinson, 1. Il.
Southwick and J. j. McLallem for
Macomb. There is considerable hard
feeling among the defeated applicants.
and the Aledo men are especially
openly charging that the board was
appointed in the interest of Macomb.
They d eclare that the removal of the
old board and the appointment of the
new one was part of the scheme and
that the matter was arranged from
the beginning. but the old board had
got tangled up so it could not carry
out its intention.
The candidates for the school were
Macomb. Aledo, La Harpe. Monmouth
and Quincy. The sites offered ranged
in size from 40 to 60 acres, and all the
offers included sewering, paving, water
supply. lighting and fire protection.
Not at All Surprising.
To those familiar with the situation,
the news of the location of the insti-
tuition at Macomb is not a surprise.
- &c
bly,, lives in that town. While the out
side world was not supposed to know
it, the result has proven that he saw to
it that the composition of the board
of trustees would be such that Ma
comb would at least be given consid-
Grafton. The first board named by
the governor wrestled for weeks with
the site problem, took several dlourn-
ments to think the matter over, but
while on one of those vacations all
mem bers were peremptorily dismissed
by the state executive, who appar-
emily saw that the future, so far as
the first board was concerned, did not
hold any promising prospect for
Speaker Shreman'S home town. More
care was taken in the selection of the
new board-and Macomb got the
school on the first ballot.
Mr.. Searle, as a mem Der of the old
board, throughout the sessions of that
body, supported Aledo. He believed
that town offered the best induced
ments. His opinion was not altered
by the arguments presented before the
new board, as his vote shows. Mr..
Searle, probably. was the only trustee
who turned deaf ear to the orders of
