SNOW STORM
VERY WELCOME
MOISTURE WAS GREATLY NEED
ED IN THIS SECTION OF
COUNTRY.

The snow storm that visited this
section Wednesday was most vel.
come one. The long spell OF dry, warm
weather had made the need of moist.
ure very apparent, and the ranchers
and stOckgrOwers alike were praying
for snow, rain or anything wet The
country was getting as dry as the pro-
verbal bone, and this nice little
storm just saved Februarys repu-
tation as moisture briniger.
Will Help the Ranges.
On the ranges the snow was espec-
tally needed. 1t came in the nick OF
time. Owing to the very mild weather
the snow packed quickly and the
amount of moisture was probably
greater than it appeared to be. De
spite the storm, the trains on the
Montana railroad not only came in
both Wednesday and Thursday eve
nings on time, but ahead of time.

Roberts Company Continues to Draw

The Roberts Dramatic company's
engagement at Culver's is proving most
successful. A western mining drama
was given Tuesday night and ON Wed.
nesday Uncle Toms Cabin packed the
house to it's capacity. Last night the
Siege of the Alamo pleased another
large audience, and this evening the
ever popular East Lynn, one of the
standard plays, will be given. Tomor-
row afternoon Uncle Toms Cabin will
be repeated, and tomorrow night the
engagement will close with a comedy
drama that is sure to please all. The
favorable impression created by this
company on its first appearance has
been strengthened each night, and the
engagement promises to be most sue
cessful to the end.
Manager Culver has just received
some information regarding the Ros-
clan comic opera company which will
be heard here for three nights in Ap-
ril. This is the largest company that
has ever visited central Montana, com.
prising 40 people. 1t has played sue
cessful engagements in all the big cit
les, and will put in solid week at

Haggard on Civilization,

London, March 1.--Rider Haggard
the novelist who has written many
stories in connection with savage life

at Lowestoft this week made the state
ment that he had seen a great deal
of savage life, but that he had never
heard among savages of such cases
as were daily being reported in the
daily papers and to the officials of pro-
tective societies regarding cruelty to
animals and children.
Il have never heard of the maltreat.
ment, starving or beating of children
among the primitive classes of man.

Il fear that we must say that the
truth is that in some ways civilization
is failure in this respect. Where
the laws Of England favor property
more than they favor the person they
should be changed. The life of child
certainly ought to be regarded as
worth more than that of an article
snatched from shop window"

Belgium Looks for War.

Brussels, March 1.-Fears of Eu-

government to prepare in all haste
to defend the country's neutrality.
Cockerill's works at Seraing are work
ing night and day on the making of
guns. That the provinces Of Belgium
are coveted by Germany is plain from
the school readers and song books
used in that country. One book of
geography, the use OF which is obi
gatory in most schools, contains the
following enl!ghtenin., paragraph:
Belgium. Switzerland, Lichenstein,
Holland, Luxembourg and Denmark
are considered as forming part of Ger

France will also yield something. The
extent of Germany's proposals will be-

rather make an effort to reconcile the
French aims and Germany's interests
than allow the serious situation to

Some effort has been made here by
certain small financiers to create a
war scare out of the emperor's reply
to the congratulatory address Of the
generals on the occasion of his majes-

peror remarked that he prayed God
that war would not come, but if it
came. he was convinced that the army
would acQuit itself as efficiently as it

CAR STILL
FOR REFORM
PRESS DOES NOT GIVE GOVERN
MENT CREDIT FOR BEING
SINCERE.

st. Petersburg March 1.-The uk.
ase cOnvoking the national assembly
for May 10, which was issued against
the desires of the reactionary element
at court, has been followed by further
strong evidence that the emperor has
wrenched himself free from the old
Influences.
Setting at naught the opinion Of the
cabinet and large majority of the
council of the empire, mis- majesty has
rejected the proposed law providing
for the extension of the trial by court
martial for political offenses to all
parts of the empire, which was the
cause of M. Timiriazeff leaving the
cabinet, and accepting the view of
the minority that there is no justifi-
cation for such a law in a constitu-
tional state during elections to par
lament
The emperor also rejected the pro.
ject authorizing the troops to fire II
they are insulted," and forbidding the
fire of volleys of blank cartridges dur
ing street disturbances.
10 coldIy Received.
With the exception of the Novoe
Vremya. the Russian press, which
seems constitutionally unable to give
the government credit for any sinceri-
ty or good intentions, receives the ma
tional assembly ukase with coolness,
even with distrust. The Novoe Vrem-
va today heads it's issue with the date
of the convocation, in poster type, ex-
tending across the first page, and de-
claring that it will be the day Of the
rejuvenation of the country, which
Russians will hail with great gladness
The Slovo comments doubtfully on
the announcement. but admits that it
is now quite probable that the nation
al assembly will meet.
Is Not Representative.
The Russ, which has been industri-
ously attacking the government for
the delay in the convocation of the
assembly, now changes front and
blames the ministry for convoking it
without full representation, and de-
clares that the ukase will not cause
any satisfaction, because the national
assembly, although an elective assem-
bly,. is not representative. as elements
of the population which are apt to
criticize it are artfully excluded.
The Nashi is also indignant at the
government for convoking the assem-
bly, too hastily.
