Idaho State University News.

President J. A. MacLean of the Uni.
versity Of Idaho has received notification
from the war department ,ha, Captain +.
X. Chrisman Of the Sixteenth infantry
has been detailed as professor of military
science at the university, and might be
expected to assume charge of his depart
ment in the near future. 1t is regarded
as compliment to the institution that
an officer as high in rank as a captain
should be detailed to the school. The
usual plan is to detail a lieutenant for
such duties. The appointment Of Cap
tain Chrisman is regarded with pa ,ticular
favor, because Of the fact that when he
was lieutenant he was for a number of
years military instructor and acting pro-
fessor Of mathematics in the university,
leaving here in 1868 for active service in
the Philippines. During his stay here
Captain Chrisman was extre mely popular
among the students and when, at his
own urgent request, he left to join his
regiment at the front, the cadet battalion
here was i'll snch thorough sympathy
that it was decided to thereafter sc, apart
one day of the school year as holiday,
to be known as "Chrisman day" This
year the day was observed by consent of
the faculty.
Miss Porter Of Portland. the newly ap-
pointed instructor in domestic science.
has arrived and is now at Ferry hall in
in company with Mrs. Young. the pre-
ceptress Of the dormitory. The teaching
Of domestic science will be new thing
in the university.

The returning delegates from the Poca.
tello convention tell many interesting
details Of the great fight made in the
convention. Hunt won out by a close
margin aided by the personal efforts of
Senator Fred 7. Dubois, and personal
pledges to Dubois also saved the scalp Of
Jules Bassett. All other Hunt caucus
nominees were defeated and their scalps
adorn the totem pole of the great chief
Steunenberg who was a conspicuous
leader of the anti-Hunt force. II is re.
lated by one Of the Nez PerCe delegates
that the ex Governor would shout with
glee as each successive scalp was added
to his list. The defeat of johnson, Bal
lard and Jacobs all on the Hunt state
left more gloom than sunshine in the
camp of the Governors followers.

IMPROVEMENT OF STREETS
Main Street, to Be GraveIed to the Court
House and Fifth Street Cut to Uniform
Grade.

At an adjourned me, ting of the city
council held Monday night the city clerk
was instructed to advertiz. for bids on
the projected street work for which

t. 'mplated improvements on Main street
consist in bringing the street up to the

Fellows hall to the Methodist church
the street will be raised on an average of
about eighteen inches, though in some
places the grade will be raised three
feet The road bed will be fifty feet
wide curbed by AKA curbing IA inches
high. The space between the curbing
and the outside Of the sidewalk on one
side Of the street will be used for a
bicycle path and OH the other side sewer
drain will be laid when the system is ex.
tended. There will be about 1900
yards of excavation made on the Fifth
street cut. The dirt will probably be put
III the park and the gravel only put onto

II per cent grade from Third avenue to
the old ditch line at the rear OF the post.

street will be about 40 fee, wide with a
banked wall On either side about three
feet high and the side walk is to be put
on top of this wall. The sides Of the cut
will be terraced back from the roadway.
Estimates made ON the work show that
the contemplated improve ,nents can be
made easily within the appropriation Sc.
cured by the sal Of the bonds. Bids for
the construction will be opened Sept. 20
and the work will be pushed as rapidly
as po sible.

is true that a concession has been

A Pug Dog That Struggled.

Men have long been puzzled by the
extraordinary affection which women
lavish on the pug dog. This spiritless
member of the canine tribe does not
commend itself to the male mind, and
it passes the comprehension of many
that the creature should inspire so
much affection in the feminine breast.
But the mystery has been solved at
last, and by a Custom House official
at Dover. The attention of this smart
official was drawn to a particularly
fat pug dog in the possession of a lady
who had just como from Paris, says
Woman's Life.
What splendid dog that is. take
a great interest in pugs. Will you put
him on the counter so that l may see
him closer" he said.
The other passengers were inclined
to be angry at this apparent waste of
time, but the anger gave place to as
tonishment when the lady, instead of
doing as she was requested, hurriedly
snatched the dog up in her arms and
endeavored to bolt through the crowd,
leaving her trunk behind. But police
man was too quick for her, and the
dog and the mistress We're forthwith
captured and taken into the inner room
of the Custom House. When they
emerged, oh! what a change was
there! The pug had shrunk to half its
former size, while the official was tri.
umphantly waving false skin, under
