"D--N THE DUST"

In a certain city not far away,
<t4.a Ssust, at Or time, was
about as thick as it is in Perth Am
boy today, a newspaper conducted a
guessing contest. This sentence,
On the DUST was published with
only the first and last letters of the
first word given. A prize was offered
to the person supplying the two
missing letters and writing the SEN
tence in full correctly.
1t is surprising how the popular
mind turns to profanity when not
constantly guarded. The editor of
the newspaper conducting this contest
was Mortified at the answers he re-
ceived. Being a thoroughly religious
man he was greatly shocked to see
the trend of the peoples mind and
he FASTENED in the mex issue, to an
nounce the completed sentence, lest
the papers influence in the commun-
ity would be for evil instead of good.
1T may have beer because the citi-
zens of that city were greatly annoy
ed by the dust or they may have ia
ken advantage of the newspaper con-
test to give vent 10 their feelings. Be
that as il may, every person who at
tempted to supply the missing let
tiers in the sentence, "D-n the dust, -
used profanity, Some of the best
people in the community wrote, but
they all said the missing letters were
"a NJ" and became profane in speak
ing of the dust.
The next issue of that newspaper
contained the following: Don't
swear: DOWN the dust" The right
letters were 80 W.
This contest so excited the people
that after they had expressed their
W feelings in this innocent man
ner. they proceeded to carry out the
newspapers suggestion. As a result
that city is practically free from dust.
Perth Amboy might take a hint
from this. The public is free in ex-
pressing its opinion. Why not do the
other thing and Down the dust?"
AT least it should be done on the bust
ness thoroughfares. The merchants
invite our neighbOrs to visit us and
do their shopping here. everything
should be made as comfortable and
convenient as possible that they will
come again. Lets DOWN the dust"

hearty cooperation Of the citizens in

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution n assisting

COMES BACK
FIRST CONDUCTOR ON WYOMING
DIVISION GUEST OF SUPERlN-
TENDENT AT CHEYENNE.
P. D. Watson, Who Ran Construction
Train Before Laramie Was Started,
Again Sees Capital City and Talks
of the Forgotten Days-lnterest-
ing Railroad Talk.

p. D. Watson, known in the early
days on the Union Pacific railroad as
fank,' N who was one of the first
conductors on the Union Pacific at this
point, is in the city today on business,
says the Cheyenne Tribune. Mr.. Wat
son is now inspector for the Consoli-
dated Rail-Joint company with head
quarters at Denver, and while here is
the guest of Superintendent H. l.. An
derson.
Ran the First Train.
"Yank' Watson was the conductor
who ran the first train out o. Chey-
enne on the construction of the Union
Pacific west from this point. He
handled the train which carried sup
plies to the front and followed the road
through to ~Promontory, Utah, being
present when the last spike was driven
on the construction of the Union Pa
cific at that point in 1869. He was in
Laramie when the road reached that
point and watched the construction of
the old Log Cabin saloon, the first
building erected at that place. At that

a few buildings, and, according to Mr..
Watson was appropriately styled
|"Hell's Half Acre"
Knew The Old Timers.
Mr.. Watson was personally acquaint-
ed with Buffalo Bill' Cody, who was
then employed in providing the Union
Pacific construction gangs with wild
game during their progress across the
state, and also with Wild Bill" Hickok.
He knew Ed Brown, who established
the first stage line out of Cheyenne to
the Black hills.
Driver Dead Game.
ED was one of the best drivers in
the west said "Yank," growing rem
iniscent, "and died game. He was max
ing a trip with the stage and was IN
the box to relieve the driver. They
were pursued by Indians and Brown
was shot through both legs. He fell
from the stage, and the horses becom-
ing frightened ran away. The driver
managed to COY the lines and took
the stage into the station. When they
returned, expecting to find Brown dead,
they discovered him lying in the road
with a six,shooter in his hand and near
him two dead Indians, who had crawled
up to scalp him. The Red Devils are
eve going to get my hair said
Brown, and fell back dead"
Didn't Know Town.
This morning for the first time in
thirty-seven years Mr.. Watson walked
through the streets of the city and vas
amazed at what he saw. He expected
Cheyenne to grow, but stated it was i'm
possible to realize that the few ram
shackle buildings which constituted
the town when he saw it last in 1869
had been replaced by SO many stately
and beautiful structures and that Chey-
enne was no longer a town but a city.
