MME LIE Francois HoTE1.-This new
hotel is nearly completed It is comn,o-
dious, and being finished outside and inside
iii the most modern style. It's reception
room, dining room and kitchen are spacious.
Its bar room and smaller rooms are all well
arranged. All the above are upon the first
floor and in the main structure. On the
second floor are Is fine sleeping rooms in the
main building. The ladies parlor is in the
building adjoining and formerly used for
sleeping rooms and easy of access to the
main building. There is a wide veranda
on two sides OF the main building and in the
court between the two buildings. The
building is embellished with cornice work
in good taste upon the exterior The recep-
ton room, dining room bar room and kitch-
en- are wainseotted. Altogether it is fine
hotel building and an ornament to the place.
When furnished and kept as the Madame
knows how to furnish and keep house it
will be very desirable abode of her guests
We expect to see it running as hotel in
full blast about the last of this month.
| GREAT OPENING FOR INvEsTMENT.-Lew
iston has a population of nearly one thou
sand souls, including Cinnamon. There are
about twelve hundred voters in the north
ern counties oj Idaho. There is but one
newspaper published in north Idaho, al
though there are eight weekly newspapers
published in Walla Walla, Waitsburg, Day
ton, Colfax and Spokan Falls, towns Of
Washington bordering close to north Idaho,
all of which have much circulation in
North Idaho. The TELLER, published at
Lewiston, is an independent paper, and
therefore don't suit some of the politician:
because they cannot control it to suit then
purpose. We suggest then that there is
splendid opening for some one to try his
hand in another newspaper in Lewiston
The business of the TELLER is large ard W.
cannot at all commode all the elements i
we would do 50. We understand, therefore
that several politicians and men of heavy
capital have determined to start anothe
paper here. We do not learn that thoa
, heavy capitalists are among our merchant
and tradesmen. Who will do the work o
these capitalists? Don't all speak at once.

FRIDAY, Jan. 10 r. M. +.
Contrary to expectations to-day's stock market
has been entirely dull The various bull in
terests. rampant yesterday. were couchant to-day.
and there was scarcely sword or buckler or the ad
vancing cohorts visible this morning. Under this
condition of Glands orr the market was left to
do for ITSELF and it did it by keeping prices strong
and steady throughout the morning. Occasional
intervals Of weakness were counterbaanced by PEE
RODS of strength. and the summing up OF the days
proceedings presented market which. in frac-
tional way had depressed some things and advanced
others. Prominent among the latter was Delaware
and Lackawanna. Manipulated by new but proba-
bly, very short wasted pool this stock advanced
nearly one per cent. The idea is sought to be con-
veyed that very important short interest exists in
this stock and weight lent to the impression by
creating demand for loaned shares and the extor-
