WORK on the bank building progresses
rapidly. The slower part of the work
Will soon be completed. This last week |
the arches over the main entrance and
over the windows of the first floor were
put In and the effects gotten from the
stone work are excellent. The mappe-
sia rock Is proving its excellence every
day as building material. 1t can be
hewn and cut 80 readily into designs
and ornaments, and worked 30 cheaply

The sad intelligence of the death of
Willie Davis flashed over the city
Wednesday morning. He had been
one of the victims Of diphtheria, but
was fully recovered from its effects.
He, however, contracted heavy cold
which settling on his lungs soon
weakened him past recovery. He
died at II o'clock, Tuesday night. 1t
is SO sad that one so bright, so winning
and agreeable should be victim of an
early death. The sorrowing parents
have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity.
The latest dispatches from Washing
ton say that Dubois has been sworn in
and that Clagget's case would be heard
by the committee in a few days. From
the tone of the advices it would seem
that Dubois is safely Senator from
Idaho. Senator Shoup bobs up already
with bill to locate public building
at Boise Bity, asking for 100000 for
that purpuse Now if we had our own
valiant Mcconnell we might record u
similar recognition Of Lewiston's inter-
est. But alas! our champion has re-
tired from the lists, but there is future.
Look out for Senator Mcconnell then.
