THE snow which fell last night will
serve to swell the mountain streams
which in turn swell the broad Missouri
that flows by our doors. The snow will
do more than that; for in melting, it will
percolate through the ground, from which
the mild weather has already expelled
the frost. Farmers and cattlemen may
rejoice at this fall of the "beautiful

The concert announced for Wednesday
night OF this week Is postponed. The
weather being unpropitieus and other un-
avoidable causes Of delay make it impos
sible to give the concert Tomorrow night.
The singers are rehearsing however and
the programme promises to be one of the
finest musical entertainments ever given
in the city. Prof. Werner, Prof Race and
associates whose efforts heretofore have
been SO enthusiastically received, are ex
pected to assist and the concert when rem
dered will probably excel anything ever
had in Great Falls. The same tickets will
be used.
Marcus DAILY. never does things by
halves. He has expended within year,
100000 for fine horses, his latest pur-
chase being the great two year old Mas
cote, for which he paid $26,O0O-more
than double the the sum ever paid for
two year old at an American auction sale.
Mascotte is fine sized bay with left hind
ankle and white face coropet. He is des-
cribed as splendid looking colt with
fine action and is Of undoubted gameness.
He has trotted mile in 3SI% seconds and
was warranted at the sale to go faster.
Mr.. DAILY deserves credit for his pluck
and enterprise. The "Montana horse"
will acquire national fame by his efforts
and those of the Huntleys, Clarks, LARA
bies and Vaughns.
