Something of the Shenandoas wreck is told by Frank Peckham, naval aviation pilot, in a letter to his sister, Mrs. F. G. Inman of Deer Lodge. Peckham was asleep in the ship's quarters when the dirgible broke. He was not posi- tive that the crash came while he was awakened and Jostled about the cabin. In his account he says: \I was awakened by the pitching of the ship. Nearly rolled out of the side of my bunk. The ship started upward. I got to my feet and at that time the ship was nearly straight up and down. My feeling was that the nose of the ship wag pointed straight upward into the clouds. It was easy to distinguieh the noise from the breaking of the ship into separate parts. Going to one of the hatches. I threw - it open -se—ther Lcould make some estimate of the height we were from the ground. It appeared to be that it was floating around from 2.000 to 3.000 feet from the ground. Then started back to the keel of the dirigible but was unable to arrive there, as we had started to fall through the air at a tremendoug rate of speed. \Believe me, we were not wasting any time coming down from the clouds. The ship had apparently broken in two parts and the tail sec- tion, which I was in. was falling -alone.- I)on4 -know how leng„we but it certainly was fast. rclimbed upwards in the cabin so that when we hit the ground some matter of protection would be afforded me. The ship, in its downward flight was subjected to rapid twists and turns. I could hear the whistling of the wind which developed the air. The noise was coming from the frame- work in the middle section of the ship. The nose of the ship did not come down with us, but went up- ward and landed eight or ten miles from where our section dropped. i golden spike was driven, in 1858, in \We struck the ground with a ter- I the Territory of Washington. rifle crash I crawled from the wreck- age and started to look for others who were in the ship.

The crowd was so great surrounding the scene, but comparatively few could see the actual spike driving. A short time prior to the date men- tioned, Sept. 8, 1883, grading of the road had been completed and the ties and nails adjusted temporarily for a distance of perhaps 1.000 feet. This temporary construction was for the purpose of knowing exactly the point of completion, that a grand stand might be erected to accommodate a President Villard placed a gilded spike in the hand of a little child, who in turn, with the aid of the president, placed the same at the point to be driven.

D. The Phillips herd contains 1,000 buffalo and this year 400 will be killed in order to keep the herd down to the original number according to Mr. Kish. Mr. Kish first mounted buffa- lo heads from his herd 18 years ago in Omaha. Neb., he says. Within two years he has mounted 92 heads and this year the number will be greatly increased, he believes. He also ex- pects to mount one life-size animal and plans to start the work around Christmas time. _ To Have a Clear Sweet Skim Touch pimples, redness, roughness or itching, if any, with Cutieura Oint- rg Pioneers Reserved Right •• ards When They First Organized Amendable to the territorial Laws relating o good government and order but reserving the right \to get decently drunk\ and de- claring a social game of cards where money is not staked as a necessity of daily life, 30 pioneers of the days of '49 in California, the gold rush into Idaho in 1860, and the boom days of mining in Montana in 'SOTS formed, in early days, the Philipsburgh pioneer as- sociation for mutual benefit and . protection.

In conclusion permit me to state, as a side issue, that I witnessed the first spike driven at Tacoma, Wash., on the 16th day of December, 1873, in the construction of the road from its western terminus. And also on meeting General Grant at the last spike driving I reminded him of the wonderful reception tendered him on hie -landing in San Franciseo on the 27th of September, 1880, after com- pleting his tour of the world, and also that it was my happy lot to be one of the reception committee of 12 to receive him at the Palace hotel. He acknowledged the circumstance with a smile. GEORGE W. CARLTON.

DECAY IN THE INTESTINES CAUSE OF MOST SICKFSS BUITE PHARMACIST SAYS THAT PROPER FUNCTIONING OF LIVER MOST IMPORTANT Has Placed Wonderful Preparation On Market; Is Proven Liver Reg- ulative, and Keeps Vital Organs in Clean, Healthy Condition. The man who wer.rs a white coat, and stands back of the drug counter—your drugs ist—is one of the most important servants to the public, according to August E. Jensen, proprietor of one of Montana's largest drug stores at Butte. Mr. Jensen is one of the leading druggists in the northwest and has been instrumental in the placing on the niarket of several worthy preparations, many of which have received wide distrib- ution in Montana and adjoining states. Mr. Jensen's most important suc- cess has come through the perfection of a liver regulator and cleanser, which he has placed on the market under the name of Jen-Sen l'hysic and Liver Pills. \The liver is one of the most im- portant organs of our bodies,\ says Mr. Jensen. \It secretes that bitter fluid known as the bile which is stored in the gall bladder between meals hut which is discharged into the intestines . to mix with the food soon after eating. Importance of the Liver. \Bile is the fluid which kills bac- teria which cause fermentation; it purges, purifies and sweetens the system. Poor functioning of the liver with its attendant bile insufficiency cauges many disorders such as head- ache, dizziness, gassiness, sallow complexion, auto -intoxication (self- poisoning) and constipation. The latter the most dangerous of all dis- eases. \People troubled with any of these symptoms,\ adds Mr. Jensen, \will find that their liver is not function- ing properly and rellia can be Untin by the use of Jen-Sen Physic and Liver Pills. These pills will regulate the bile flow, cleanse, scour and sweeten the system and stimulate the inactivity of the intestines. Try your druggist.
