SCHOOL INTERESTS. School House Site Selected-Teachers Hired for the Year. 1 be board of school trustees held important meeting last Tuesday evening and decided upon several matters of great importance to educational interests. IUI j our One of these was the matter of building a school house. The board received the official notification of the result of the special election held on August 3, and proceeded to voice of the people as expressed on that day After looking up the natter of finance., " w« decided 1 " Tor / "b A pend «2,000 on a building. Loci builders were invited to carry out the . , , prepare I and oner 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. Jaquith, ' and those who have met the lady will agree that she possesses the appearance of one who would come j up to the requirements of a princi pal for our school. For the nri gan. Among the number was Mrs. Eva J. Hoy, of this place, the lady who taught this department year | y before last. Mrs. Hoy gave such T general satisfaction at that tim} ; that it was not deemed advisable to I mary department there large number of applicants, some hailing from as tar east as Michi were pass over her application for any one while they possessed good and recommandations, would be an experiment at best, therefore selected. of the other applicants, who, papers Mrs. Hoy was It was ordered that the school be gin the first Monday in September. The salaries of the teachers fixed as follows: were Principal, $60 ; 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 Wm. Ainslie, of the Great Northern Addition i Company, and, after looking the ground, informally accepted from them a donation of 14 lots in block 37 for the site. The lots over selected lie between the road ing from the depot to Van Gaskin store, or the ferry landing, and Bonnerport, and south of what would be an extension of Kootenai avenue in Bonnerport. It is near the beautiful cottonwood the locality named. The grounds will include this grove, while there is sufficient ground in front of it for the building. The ground is high as any that could be obtained in the addition. It will be in the nature of a compromise with the people of Eaton, as it is as near that townsite as it could possibly be and v yet be on the Great Northern addi tion. It 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. eross 's grove in ! as ■ Democrats Heavy Gainers, Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 7. —Re turns sent last night are fully con firmed this morning. Oates and the democrats made heavy gains all over the state. The latest re turns say the senate will have at least eight democratic majority and the house not less than ten. Oates' ^ majority is 35,000. The vote is short of that in 1892 by 40,000 or 50,000 on account of the new elec tion law.

Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind., the distinguished specialist in diseases of the heart and nervous system, states that disor !ers of the heart are as common as those of the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys, j though often unsuspected. The reason peo ple are not awareof 'this important fact is ttecause symptoms of heart disease are not usually recognized as proceeding from this organ, but are attributed to some other source. If you have shortness of breath, fluttering or palpitation, pain or tenderness in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed choking sensation, fainting spells, your heart is affected. 4 ' I had been troubled with heart disease t tr years.
