Mr.. Mcclure will soon open his meat
and provision market on First avenue
South, where he is now building house
next to Pat Hughes. He has received
much encouragement and deems the ia
cilities for shipment here much better
than in Benton.
F. L. Benepe, q prominent business
| man of BoZeman, is in the city. Mr. B
| and Belknap agencies and is here looking
after the same. He is much Impressed
with Great Falls and thinks we will have
a great business and industrial center
Telegraphic advices Of the Assinaboine
accident say that Engineer Fred Almy
was badly burned and scalded. Two post
surgeons repaired to the wreck to render
any assistance necessary. The track was
cleared in about ten hours. There was
wool in the freight cars which met with
the mishap.
Mrs. Allen and her partner, Kane, do
not speak as they pass by. Mrs. Allen,
rs most people know, keeps saloon on
First avenue, south. Last evening Kane
came to the door, and, after causing con
siderable uproar, gave Mrs. Allen shak-
ing. She has invoked the law and Kane
has been invited to an interview with
Judge Huy. 5~~m ~
Some queer blunders are made in mail
ing letters. Assistant Postmaster Taylor
has, for instance, a letter for Mrs. Baron,
Fores, Scotland, which was mailed with
outa stamp. He has another prep id one
for the "Steam Card Works. without any
further address. A third letter has no
address at all, but is enclosed in at Allan
tic hotel envelope.
Prof. Morrison is now at work on fine
Typographical map of the Little Belt
mountains. No accurate map Of that
country has ever before been made and it
will be most valuable one for reference.
1t is probable the professor will have it
engraved so that he can furnish it to all
who may need such a map, and that
should include everybody in and about
the mountains.

Dn Rel Twin Bros. proved big drawing
cards at the Park theatre the past week.
They are without doubt the most finish
ed song and dance artists in America.
L. G. Phelps sold today to ]. L. Perkins
Of Cascade 25 feet front on Central ave
nue., adjoining the Dunno block, for
$4,000 cash. The location is splendid
one and Mr.. Perkins will doubtless soon
erect nice building on his lot. We
learn of two or three other deals that are
about closed and may be able to ''n,ake a
note" of them tomorrow. We are glad to
see Mr.. Perkins become interested in
Great Falls. He is generally recognized
as ''shrewd one" and his real estate in
vestments meyer fail to be profitable ones
to him. ...-# ...
frankie Macdonald, the daughter of
Peter and Mrs. Macdonald, celebrated
her seventh birthday yesterday by giving
q party to her young friends. They came
in great numbers with presents for their
little companion, who gave them abund-
ance OF ice cream and other good things

There is talk of coming contest be-
tween the machines sold by the houses of
Ashby, Mcknight and Ray. Mr.. Ray
says he makes no challenge, but he is
prepared to enter the field with one Of
his Deerings any time. Mr.. Shepherd
has been speaking freely of the merits of
the Wood machines, while Mr.. Shurr is
enthusiastic over the merits of the Nc
Cormick. Great fun is expected
if the contest is carried out The
test can be made readily in the neighbor-
hood. Ranchmen will make no object
ions to the free use of mowers or reapers
on their fields.
