School Matters.

The Rathdrum public school opened
for the fall term last Tuesday with
ninety-five pupils enrolled. This is
by far the largest number ever en-
rolled for the first week in this school.
On account of the already crowded
condition of the two rooms the board
has decided to fit up another room
and employ an intermediate teacher.
Miss Lula Leonardy of Post Falls has
been selected t. fill the position and
will enter upon her duties next Mon
day morning. Miss Leonardy was a
student at the Cheney Normal school
last year, and has had experience in
the school room, and no doubt she
will fill the position with credit. The
prompt action of the school board is
to be commended as the Importance
of a good school to a town is hard to
be overestimated. 1t is benefit in
many ways other than disSeminator
of knowledge for it brings well-to-do
men with their families into town,
who fill up the vacant buildings,
make business for the merchants, and
contribute to the social enjoyments.
No town can have better advertise
ment than good school

The Constable Combine.

Heretofore conStables have been
paid only for arrests, and taking
prisoners TO and from court, and not
for court attendance. They have
consolidated and will appeal to the
district court for a decision on the
question, thinking that they should
be paid for court attendance as well
as for arrests. It is understood that
quite a bill hinges on the decision
and lawyer will be engaged to bring
the question to Iinal issue.-Bose

Quite a lively scene was created in
town yesterday about noon by a rum
away team belonging to John Wool
cry. They were hltched to wagon and
started from the stable, and passed
through the principal street at 2:40
gait, never even stopping for Mr..
Woods fence and were caught in his
garden. The team and wagon were
none the worse for the race.

The First of the Series.

The Standpoint base ball team went
to Bonner's Ferry last Sunday to play
the first game of ball of series which
is to be played between the two cities
for the championship of the Panhan->
die, and as one of the Standpoint boys
remarked as he took the train at Bon
ner's Ferry for home after the game
had been played-'We have met the
enemy and we are theirs" But the
game was won strictly on it's merits,
the decisions of the umpire being in
every instance fair and impartial.
The double umpire system was adopt
eel and it proved great success.
For Bonner's Ferry John Callahan
acted as umpire and w. G. Blake did
the same for Sand point, each umpire
calling balls and strikes on the Op-
posing clubs pitcher while the other
gave the decisions on the bases and
in the field.
The game was exciting from begin
ming to end and resulted as follows:
Bonner's Ferry 23, Standpoint 10.
The Standpoint players and those
who accompanied the nine to Bon
ner's Ferry found the people of that
place the very soul of hospitality, and
to the players, for their conduct be-
fore. during and after the game there
is nothing too kind can be said of
them. The verdict Of the visiting
nine was that they are ''princes eve
ry one Of them"
The return game will be played on
the Standpoint grounds week from
next Sunday and preparations are be-
Ing made to give the Ferreyites that
''only" time, a grand ball being prom
lnently mentioned.
TO the umpires, John Callahan and
w. e. Blake the Standpoint nine ten
ders it's thanks for their services and
