JURY EXONERATES ENGINEER
Wreck Follows Notice of Death of
Brother.

Chicago, Dec. (.-That there are
times when an accident on a railroad
which is really the fault of one of the
engine crew is excusable is the sub
stance of finding of coroner's jury
in the case of Arthur Alt of Laona,
Wis.,, who was killed in a head on
collision between two freight trains
near Berwin, ILL.,, on the night of
Nov. 20.
w. M. Watson, engineer on one of
the trains, acknowledged to the jury
that he was entirely to blame for the
accident. He explained that he had
Just received a telegram advising him
of his brothers death and did not
know what he was doing. The jurors
not only excused Watson from all
blame, but also expressed their SYM
pathy for him in his misfortune.

has been able to do much to better
conditions.

While there may be some suffer,
ing in Beltrami county, there is
by no means any such conditions
prevailing as that which Mr.. Nc.
Donald asserts exists in this and
Clearwater counties.
Beltrami county annually pays out
a large sum for the care and main.
tenance of it's poor, and there have
been but few reports of real suffer
ing, all of which have been promptly
cared for. T. In.
In every community, there are
certain conditions that are not to the
liking of sensitive people; but the
Pioneer does not for one moment
believe that there is a general pre-.
valence of immortality, vice and
suffering, as the article published
in the Herald intimates.
We also believe that the proper
course to have been pursued by
this Mr.. Mcdonald (whoever he
may be) would have been to have
reported the alleged cases which he
speaks of to the proper authorities;
and there is no doubt but that
relief would have been at once forth
coming-if there was any necessity
for aid.
Such articles as the above printed
in reputable paper) are undoubt.
edly melted by a person who has nc
good purpose in view in giving cir.
culation to such damaging state
ments.
The writer has visited many parts
of Beltrami, Clearwater and Cas-
counties during the past two years.
and we have never once found
any such condition as that com
planned of by this Mr.. Mcdonald.
On the contrary, we have found the
homesteaders of these counties, fol-
the greater part, intelligent, thrifty
and industrious people who will
make their way any where. and more
especially will they prosper on the
fertile acres of cut-over lands oil
Clearwater and Beltrami counties.

AGREE TO SUPPORT CANNON
Over Half the Republican Members
Elect Sian Pledges,


Washington, Dec. B.-More than
one-half of the Republican members
elect of the Sixty-frst congress have
pledged themselves to the reelection
of Speaker Cannon
This announcement, made by Con-
gresham James r. Mann of Chicago,
who secured the pledges, puts an end
to all clamorous talk of fight against
the veteran speaker of the house.
;. Concerning the talk of a rsGcal
amendment of the rules to shear the
speaker of his power Congressman
Mann insists that it will be impos-
sible to pass tariff bill unless the
house has some one as responsible
head and that the very men who are
now loudest in their demands for the
abolition of strict rules will be the
first to beg for the reaffirmation of
the old rules, once the f1libustering
begins.

struggled for twenty years on an eigh-

He asked If there was any hope for

OUR NATIONAL DANGER.
Time to Cry Halt Before Complete
Wreck Results

Time to Cry Halt Before Com plete
Wreck Results.
There are thousands, both men and
women, who do not take time to eat
properly. They rush thru life, and as
a result we have an age of indigestion,
nervousness, irritability, sleepless
nights and morose disposition. Our
national danger is stomach weakness,
due to the strenuous life.
Mi-o-na tablets strengthen the walls
of the stomach and stimulate secre
ton of the digestive juices. They
make the stomach comfortable and
cure indigestion.
Sick headaches, palpitation, yellow
skin and coated tongue are a few of
the many distressing results OF indi-
gestion that Mi-o-na never fails to
cure.
Mcbride & Will sell Mi-o-na in So
cent boxes, and guarantee to refund
the money If it does not give COM
plete satisfaction.

colors, and as result Superintendent
Palmer gave the classes a short chapel
talk this morning. Mr.. Palmer con-
siders that this expression of school
spirit shows more risk than good
judgment, and for fear that some one
may be injured in venturing to the

classes to refrain from any further like
demonstra tons on the school grounds.
The request will be complied with, and
