bravery and daring performed by rail
road men, or in connection with rail
road disasters, are kept as matter of
record in Washington. Few now re-
member that congress in 1905 passed
an act empowering the president to
present to these heroes of the rails
suitable medals commemorative of
their bravery. Congress did pass such
an act, however, and under it medals
OF honor have been awarded to those
who, by some signal act of daring,
have shown their readiness to risk
their lives that the lives of others
might be saved.
An even dozen such cases are on
file at the interstate commerce COM
mission in Washington. To an equal
number Of heroes medals, and but
tons to be worn in the place of the
medals, have been awarded. Among
this number the names of heroic wom-
en- are by no means missing. They
share with the handful of men hon
ored by their country in this little
known way in the splendid record of
usefulness and heroism which is a
part of the railroad history of the
United States. Two more cases Of a
similar nature are now under consid-
Grafton by the commission, and it is
expected that the president shortly
will announce the award of two more
of the railroad medals.
The interstate commerce commits
sion records of these deeds of valor
are often replete with thrills. Many
of the rescues have been spectacular
in the extreme. Unfolded there are
tales Of firemen and brakemen crawl
ing out upon the "cow-catchers" of
their trains to save from almost GER
tain death some curly-headed tot,
blissfully playing between the rails,
in the path of an onspeeding engine
Or else one may find stories in which
GOODNESS and ingenuity have been the
means of saving persons from almost
certain death.
Less picturesque than the calling
Of arms, either on land or on sea, less
romantic than the career in either
army or navy, the business Of rail
roading possesses opportunities for
the display Of manhood second to
neither of these. If peace hath her
victories also, so has she opportuni-
ties when man rises to supreme
heights of unselfish devotion The
very first case dealt with by the in
terstate commerce commission, after
the act authorizing the giving of
medals in the railroad service had
been passed, demonstrated this fact

One of the most remarkable proofs of
the unusual laxative merit contained in
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is that 1T is
effective not only in people in the prime

regarding the cures of children, as from

wonderful laxative.
In the cure of constipation and bowel

Big Locomotive,

The new K-2 class Pennsylvania To-
comotive is said to be the largest in
use on any road entering Buffalo. The
big locomotive was built in the Altoo-
ma shops of the Pennsylvania, to be
used on the fast through trains out of
Buffalo. The first one has arrived
and the next consignment is expected
within the next few weeks. The big
engine Is used on the Washington
Flyer, the fastest train out of Buffalo
on the Pennsylvania The engineers
who have tested the engine say that
it does not jerk in going around a
curve like the old engines now in use
and that it rides much smoother.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD &
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter-
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not gripe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear

had my way would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion,
and SO paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead Of impoverish
It; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

Maine is "Dry"

Maine retains constitutional
prohibition. Governor Plaisted
and council on November 9Th,
decided to accept the corrections
in the vote of four towns, cast in
the special election in September,
thus reversing the result as in
dicated, on the face of the first
official returns.
Returns on election day, Sep.
ttember II, indicated a majority
of about 300 against the appeal
of the prohibitory amendment,
but the later official count showed
a majority of 26 for repeal.
It was found by comparison,
however, that in four cases the
figures of the county clerks were
reversed from the early returns
and in each case the clerk claimed
the error to be in the official
figures. After hearings on the
subject the governor and council
took the matter under considera-
tion and the result was the an
nouncement that Maine remained
constitutionally prohibition by
759 votes.
Governor Plaisted stated after
the meeting that at an early
date, probably in FEBRUARY, he
will call a special session of the
legislature to submit an amend
ment to the constitution which
will permit, the enactment of
laws concerning the liquor traffic
which are capable of honest en-.
forcement because sustained by
the sentiment of the several com.
munities to which they will BE-
applied.
An analysis Of the vote, the
governor declared, showed an
overwhelming majority against
prohibition in the cities and a
large majority for it in the towns.
The proposed amendment would
give cities the right to enact
local liquor laws

A Circle Letter

The writer received a letter
this week which is called a "circle
letter" for the reason that it
goes around among a circle of
relatives so that all may read
what the others have to say. 1t
is a family letter., written by the
uncles and aunts of the writes,
including some member Of the
family of the deceased brothers
and sisters of the surviving
members. Six aunts and three
uncles now survive and each
one writes a letter and encloses
it with the letters of the others
and sends it on to another. After
it has made a complete circle the
writer takes out his last letter
and sends another, thus keeping
the chain always complete. To
make the entire circuit the let
ters travel over IL, 500 miles, or
one-half the way around the
globe. The letters go to Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri,
Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon,
Washington and Montana.
In this manner the members
of the family keep account of
each other better than in the
usual way, an one often becomes
negligent in keeping up CORES
pondence, even with brothers
and sisters.

tical farmers to see. This does
not represent all the wheat
raised this year by Mr.. Connerly
but it is that which was handy
to the home ranch. One of the
photographs was sent Hon. J.H.

said to the Missoulian. 1.-The
crops have been good and the
general conditions are fine. The
great need Of the country be-
tween Missoula and the foot of
the lake is a railway line and we
are all hoping that the plans for
the construction of an electric
road will bring some definite
results. There is a great amount
of wheat moving and we are
busy handling this business. But
it would be simplified greatly
and the farmers would profit
greatly if there were railway
transportation for this crop move
ment. It costs the farmer now
from 10 to 20 cents a hundred to
get his wheat to the railway
shipping point and that makes it
an expensive proposition. With
such a line as has been discussed
lately there would be a great
development of the reservations
reasources. We are anxiously
waiting for the results which we
hope will come. "-Missoulian.

We Want You,
You Want Us

One of the Roman advertisers
said last week that he would pay
for 100 extra copies of the paper,
if that many names could be
found in the vicinity of Roman
who were not already subscribers
for the paper. At the time the
offer was made we did not be-
lieve it possible that 100 people
were living near here and getting
their mail at this office, who had
not already subscribed. The
papers were printed however,
and a local mailing list was Sc
cured which is said to be nearly
complete, and imagine our sur
prise when it was discovered
that there were over 100 who are
not taking the Pioneer. Now
we want them to become SUBJ
scribers and we believe it will be
to the mutual interest of all that
they do so. In order to induce
them and anyone else to subscribe
there will be printed during the
next month, that is during
the balance of November, 100 ex-
ira copies each week and we are
going to mail them to those who
are not on our books, hoping
that it may be an inducement to
all to come in and enroll their
names.
One man said the other day
that two dollars per year was
pretty steep. Not for a good
paper, friends, and that is the
kind it has been the determina-
ton of the writer to give the
people here ever since the first
copy was taken off the press. 1t
has not been as good some times
as we would have liked it to be,
but it has been worth the price
every week now for 80 weeks.
It is going to be kept to the
standard in the future and will
be made better just as fast az
possible.
Come in and get acquainted
come in and enroll your names or
the subscription book and help
make it grow so that it will be
worth double what it is now, ant
at the same price.
