SCHOOL INTERESTS.
school House Site SeIected--Teachers
Hired for the Year.

evening and decided upon several
matters of great Importance to our
educational interests.
One of these was the matter OF
building school house.
The board received the official
notification of the result of the
special election held on August 8,
and proceeded to carry out the
voice of the people as expressed on
that day. After looking up the
matter of finances, it was decided
that the district could safely ex-
pend $4,000 on building. Loo Il
builders were invited to prepare
and offer plans and specifications
for a suitable school building to
cost not exceeding that amount.
Another matter taken up was
the selection of teachers for the en-
suing year. There were only two
applicants for the principalship.
The board selected Mrs. J. Jauuith,
and those who have met the lady
will agree that she possesses the
appearance of one who would come
up to the requirements of a princi-
pal for our school. For the pri.
mary department there were a
large number of applicants, some
hailing from as far east as Michi-
gan. Among the number was Mrs.
Eva }. Hoy, of this place, the lady
who taught this department year
before last. Mrs. Hoy gave such
general satisfaction at that time
that it was not deemed advisable to
pass over her application for any
one of the other applicants, who,
while they possessed good papers
and recommendations, would be an
experiment at best. Mrs. Hoy was
therefore selected.
1t was ordered that the school be-
gin the first Monday in September.
The salaries of the teachers were
fixed as follows: Principal, $50
per month; primary teacher, $50
per month.
In the matter of selecting a site
for the new building, the board met
Capt. G. R. Gray and VIM. Ainslie,
of the Great Northern Addition
Company, and, after looking over
the ground, informally accepted
from them a donation of Ia lots in
block 81 for the site. The lots
selected lie between the road cross
ing from the depot to Van Gaskin's
store, or the ferry landing, and
Bonnerport, and south of what
would be an extension of Kootenai
avenue in Bonnerport. 1t is near
the beautiful cottonwood grove in
the locality named. The grounds
will include this grove, while there
is sufficient ground in front of it for
the building. The ground is as
high as any that could be obtained
in the addition. 1t will be in the
nature of a compromise with the
people of Eaton, as it is as near that
TOWNSHIP as it could possibly be and
yet be on the Great Northern addi-
ton. 1t will be a far more desir-
able location than over towards the
river front, it being away from the
dust, and having a delightful
shade. Pupils will not have to
pass through the business streets in
going and coming from school.
The only matter likely to delay
the building is the lack of assur-
ance of title.

MCCONNELL WINS.

BOISE, Aug. 9.-On reassembling
the convention elected J. H. Rich
ards permanent chairman, and then
got down to earnest work. The
great fight of the convention came
up at once-the senatorial matter.
After considerable sparring, Borah,
OF Boise moved a resolution to the
effect that it was the sense of the
convention that candidate for
senator should not be nominated.
After a heated debate, in which
Borah, Hepburn, Hoffman and
Beale argued against the nominal
ing plan, and Rich, Barton, Dag
gett, and Robb argued for it, the
motion not to nominate was carried
by a vote Of SO to 70.
The balance of the proceedings
was comparatively tame. Mr..
Sweet, who was present, concluded
to keep out of the governorship
fight, and Mr.. Fem withdrew as a
candidate for governor before the
fight on the resolution to nominate
a senator came up.
The first order of business was
the nomination of congressman.
w. e. Borah in sneech of excep-
tional brilliancy, even for him, pre-
sented the name of Edgar Wilson.
The nomination received many
seconds and was carried by accla-
nation amid storm of enthusiasm.
Mr.. Wilson accepted the nomina-
ton IN neat speech, his appear
ance being greetedswith wild out
burst of applause. Chief Justice
Huston was placed in nomination
for the supreme bench by w. B.
Hepburn. The nomination was
made by reclamation.
The nomination for governor
was in order. w. B. Hepburn took
the floor. He paid high tribute
to the record of Governor McCon-
nelPs administration and placed
that gentleman in nomination to
succeed himself. F. E. Fogg NOV
ed that the nomination be made by
reclamation and the motion pre-
vailed, the choice of the convention
being indicated by a rising vote.
The governor was brought before
the convention and accepted the
nomination in one of his felicitous
speeches,
F. J. Mills Of Pocatello and Will
lam Hyndman of Ketchum were
placed in nomination for lieutenant
governor. The ballot resulted,
Mills "a, Hyndman SO. Attorney
General Parsons was renominated
by reclamation, also Auditor Frank
Ramsey.
Then came the contest on treas
urer. All the candidates but C.
Bunting of Blackfoot and Hal Coffin
OF Boise had dropped out. Bunt-
ing was nominated by large ma
jority, getting ia to SO for Coffin.
The contest for secretary of state
was spirited, Colonel w. w. Ham,
mill having entered the race with
W. Garrett Of Haley and J.F.
Curtis, the present incumbent.
One ballot settled it, Garrett get
ting 80 votes, Curtis "a and Ham
mill "a.
The contest for superintendent
of public instruction was the only |
one requiring more than one ballot.
U. A. Foresman of Lewiston being
nominated on the second ballot.
The convention then adjourned |
till the next day when district
nominations were to come up. /

over E. }. Merlin, Of Leonia, by a
vote of 81 to "a. Donahoe was
nominated commissioner over w.
b. Dishman, of Sand Point, by a
vote of 10 to 7. Ditemore's popu-
listic nomination brought him
some opposition, but, it being
claimed that he was democrat, he
was placed on the ticket bv an eosv
majority.
There are several elements of
strength on the ticket. John M.
Burke was the democratic candi-
date for governor two years ago and
carried the county against Gov.
Mcconnell.
W. J. Quirk, for clerk, was the
democratic candidate for joint SEN
ator two years ago and carried the
county, but was defeated by the re-
publican majority in Latah county.
John j. Costello, our present
sheriff, was the only democrat
elected in this county two years
ago.
l.. t. Ditemore has the nomina-
ton for treasurer on the populist
ticket.
John Donahoe for County Com
missioner was the democratic can
didate for joint representative two
years ago. He made good run,
although he made no canvas for
reasons that will be recalled.
G. w. Brockhagen, for sheriff, and
P. E. Cusick, for probate Judge,
have never been before the people
before. neither has DIR. Morton.
candidate for coroner.
VIM. Ashley, for surveyor, is
republican, but was elected on the
democratic ticket two years ago.
He has both the democratic and re-
publican nominations this year.
The nominations for joint SEN
ator and joint representative were
left to Latah county, as Kootenai
county nominated them at the last
convention.
The delegates elected to the state
convention are as follows:
w. ]. Mcclure, George Roberts,
W. P. Dishman, M. D. Wright, F.
H. Bradbury, John Russell, Thorn
ton Wheatley, j. j. WaIch, c. II.
Baker, w. B. Mcfarland, George
P. Minis, John O'Hogge.
The platform Endorsed the policy
of Cleveland in putting down the
recent strike and demanded the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
Is to 1.
Some of the delegates to the state
convention favored the nomination
of ex-Gov. Stevenson, of Boise, for
governor, but the delegates are un-
pledged and will go to Boise free to
choose the best man.
Fred Bradbury was elected chair
man of the central committee and

Thanksgiving is close at hand.
IF any Of you have ever Travelled In
The extreme eastern or northeastern
counties you know there are some
pretty tough localities in that region.
There are some places where a man
would be almost mobbed for wearing
plug hat, and one who would venture
to go to an evening party wearing
swallow-tailed coat or white necktie
would be pitched into barrel Of soft
soap. l have been told there are back
settlements where they haven't learn

THE MALE CLERK DOOMED.
Women Will, in the Long Run, Drive
Them Out of Clerical Work.

Girls are so much more clever rs
clerks than men that the male clerk
IS doomed to extinction like the dodo
The results are disastrous both to men
and to women.
Every observer in cities must see that
nearly all classes of clerical work are
passing rapidly into the hands of young
women. These young women enter the
offices with skillful fingers, winning
manners and Industrious ways and gen
eral aptness to write letters, keep
books, count cash and discharge the
multitudinous duties attached to bust
ness life. They do their work salts
factorily and well.
Taken altogether they are neater, bet
ter behaved and quicker than young
men. The result is that these bright
young fellows, capable of doing excel
lent work, are forced to toll for long
hours, often at night, for the munlh-
cent salary of SIS per month. After
two or three years of hard and faith
full service, promotion to the SO q
month class Is possible, while S35 or
$50 Is the outside figure to which a
clerk may aspire If he exhibits special
qualifications and sustained devotion to
his task.
If the next twenty years witnesses
the same relative increase in the num-
Der of working girls and women as
has taken place since 1870 In this coun-
try and the United States we shall see
young men doing the homework and
their sisters and mothers carrying on
half the business of the land Canadian

1t Eats Only Raw Meat and Is So
Fierce That II Is Gagged.
Capt. Fausset, Of the British steam
ship Lord Lansdowne, from Androssan,
Scotland, captured while at sea most
peculiar bird. 1t is still held captive
on board, being perned up in the lower
chart room beneath the flying bridge
1t is very fierce and the captains large
dog is afraid to venture near the pecu-
liar bird. Ever since its capture it
has been fed upon law meat. which is
thrown in the window gratings.
Early one morning when many hun
dred miles from the shore the bird
was seen lowering about in the locality
of the ship, and finally 1t landed eX-
hausted on the foretopmast, where 1t
was captured with some difficulty by
the boatswain. When brought to the
deck its craw was found to be empty,
but it refused everything offered until
the steward threw into the quarters
where it was confined piece of canned
beef, which it ate. Upon becoming
rested the bird grew very fierce, and
the sailors were afraid to go near it,
1t is not known to what species the
bird belongs. Its head resembles some
what that of an owl, but the body is
like a chicken, only the wings are much
larger and appear more powerful.
Capt Fausset believes the bird was
driven off shore in one of the recent
gales. He does not think that 1t is a
sea fowl. 1t Is his intention to have
the curiosity killed and stuffed.-Phila
