n. r. Beale has some new specimens
oa MS marble now on exhibition at the
raymond House. The specimens run
rom pure white to jet black in color.
with intermediate variagated speci-
mems OF mingled black and white that
are very beautiful. The marble is equal
TO the best ever quarried and takes on
an elegant polish. Marvellous Scott
ana Jim Cussic are now working at the
quarry getting out specimens which
Mr.. beale expects to work up to take
70 the markets to introduce his rock,
he claims also to have discovered a
new magnesia rock which excells all
others. 1t Is winter, firmer, takes a
polish and will not rub of or crumble,
The quarry lies close to the river and
can be easily worked.
The latest thing out in the Idaho
prison scandal, is the card of Warden
Mack, printed In the Boise City papers.
In which he explains the prize fight
affair, by saying 1t was merely box
Ing contest with eight-ounce gloves,
and pleads guilty to an indulgent and
fatherly manner Of conducting the
penitentiary. He says, moreover,
"that the trouble was by guards and
Others employed in and around the
prison, who kept constant watch on
his actions and reported every trifiing
event with view of ousting him, and
getting themselves into his position.
He says that he will stand no foolish
ness, but will promptly fire any en-
ploye who makes any trouble, and
will run the prison to suit himself for a
while.
Lewiston will try for artesian water,
the work to begin In a few weeks.
Agreeable to the call of the subscribers
to effect an organization last Saturday,
a number of the subscribers met and
elected the following officers. Presi-
dent, Josiah Englis, Secretary, Robt.
Schleicher, Treasurer, P. NJ. Davis,
Executive committee, Ira Small, c. A.
Leeper, A. r. Trimble. Two thousand
dollars has been subscribed tor the ELL
terprise and as soon AZ it Is collected
machinery will be bought and work
commenced. Great interest will be
centered in this trial. It will be y
great thing for Lewiston and vicinity
to have artesian water In quantity for
irrigating purposes. It solves the
problem of irrigation here and will
make q garden spot of the dry fats
south of town.
All the travelling men and visitors
from the neighboring towns declare
that the streets of Lewiston contain
less mud than any of our neighboring
towns do, but while that is true it does
not follow that the streets here cannot
and ought not to be improved some in
their drainage and condition. An hours
work with shovel each day on the
cross walks will keep them in good
condition during the day. 1t Is useless
to say that the streets of Lewiston can
not be easily drained, sloping rs they
do 50 naturally toward the river. A
small side ditch Or = few turns of the
plow will drain off all the surface wa
ter. Lewiston can boast now of streets
of the least mud of any town In the
Pan Handle, out Lewiston could boast
then of streets entirely free from mud
the finest In tue northwest. Why not,
when it can be done with SO little ex-
penditure of energy and capital?
Right Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, Bishop
of Wyoming and Idaho, preached to
large audience in the new Episcopal
church Oh Monday night. The advent
of the Bishops arrival has been long
looked for. He has been seriously de-
layed In his work this year and Lew
istOn is fortunate tO have had him
even for this short time. The Bishop
opened the service with some fitting
remarks Of c0ngratulation about the
new church and its improvements,
and well he might, for it Is admitted
by all, without disparagement to any,
that this is the finest church property
in the state. The Bishops sermon on
the text "Come unto me all ye that
are weary and heavy laden aud l will
give you rest" was delivered In his
usual earnest aud feeling manner. He
Is forcible and entertaining speaker
and delivers his sermons with telling
