THEIR PRAYERS Needed.
Stockmen Rejoice at opportune Fall
of Snow.
From TUESDAYS Daily Gazette.

Y OF snow.
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
At last the elements have needed
the s~upplications made to them by
the stockmen and today the ground is
covered with snow, thereby once more
ayerting the danger of a continued
drouth and consequent suffering to
stock ON the ranges. The snow fell
last night and this morning the pros
| poets for an added fall were of the
brightest, something that was any
thing but unpleasant OF contempla-
ton, as the amount which fell last
| night was not too exceed two inches
in depth and because of the absence
| of frost in the grounu would speedily
vanish under the influence of a few
hours sunshine.
Reports received today indicate
that the storm vas quite general, ex-
tending in all directions, particularly
to the east and west. At Butte snow
about six inches deep had fallen last
night, while at Bozeman a foot or
more covered the ground. This side
Of the mountains about the same
depth as exists here is reported. To
the east the storm made it's appear
ane night before last and apparently
was much more severe than here. The
fall in temperature has been slight
hence no fear is entertained that con
ditions such as prevail in the north
ern part of the state will follow. In
Cascade and the other northern coun
ties range stock is said to be in bac
condition and some heavy losses are
feared.
Deep snow covered the GROUND
there and following the storm was {
chinook, which caused a crust to form
and cattle and sheep are said to bt
compelled to exist on sage brush ant
the twigs of such %shrubbery as the.
can find, it being impossible for then
to get at the grass.

The Information Contained in This
GentIeman's Statement Is Priceless

The hale, the hearty, the strong can
afford to toss this paper to n side
impatiently when they read the fol-
lowing, but any sufferer in Billings
who has suffered hours of torture
caused by kidney complaint will stand
in his OWL light if he does not follow
the valuabel advice offered here.
Frank Sites, bricklayer, of 1850
T%hirty-third venue, Denver, Colo,
says: ct is over three years since
l recommended Doan's Kidney Pills
through our Denver papers. At that
time they stopped pain in my back
and through the sides which al
though never severe enough to lay me
up was sufficient to cause more an
noyance than anyone could endure
when Doan's Kidney Pills can so cas-
lily be procured. If I had not receiv-
ed positive benefit when that remedy
first came to my notice l would be
the last mar in Denver to publicly en-
dorse the medicine, and if the results
| obtained from the treatment with
| Doan's Kidney Pills had not been
permanent nothing could induce me
to re-endorse this medicine. The mer-
it's of Doan's Kidney Pills should be
universally known"
Just such emphatic endorsements
can be had right here in Billings.

Il think there will be no difficulty
whatever with prudent management
There is no doubt that if an exchange
standard is established, it will be safe
guarded by provisions similar to those
in our statutes for maintaining the
parity of our paper and silver money.
Mexico already conducts her fiscal al
fairs through the national bank, and
does not disturb the money market by
locking up good funds in the govern
ment treasury. Her credit is good and
is likely to be improved with the def
mite adoption of an exchange stan
dard."
