The water pipe which has furnished
the water for the old watering trough
in Library Park, is being taken up by
the city workmen, and placed out side
the side walk line On First street.
This water comes from spring on the
hill, and while the water is needed
and useful in the park, in the position
of the pipe the wind blew it all over,
and it was therefore thought best to
take it up and put it on the outside
of the sidewalk.

HAD FUN WITH NYE.

Hon. Charles F. S. Neal. president
Of the board of control of the insur
ance department of the order Of
knights Of Pythias and who spent q
couple of delightful days in Laramie
during the week. Is an old friend OF
James Whitcomb Riley n had the
pleasure of chaperoning him and Bill
Nye at one OF their entertainments In
the old HON at Lebanon, Ind. Some
Of the church ladies Of the town had
made arrangements for the appearance
of the humorists and requested Mr.
Neal to meet them at the train. accom-
pany them to the hotel me the hall
introduce them, and, in fine, to take
general charge of them while they
were in the city. 1t proved to be nc
small task.
When Nye and Riley emerged from
the train they were in a hilarious mood
considerably more han half-seas-ov
err. Their entire conversation was
raillery at each other over their dub
GUS condition for the evenings enter
tainment. Being a man of giant sta
ture, 1t was comparatively easy foi
Neal to lock arms with them and con
duct them in fairly good form TO the
hotel, where he instructed the land
lord to servo their supper in their
rooms. This consisted of hot coffee
and rolls. The coffev acted as a brac
err and by the time 1t became neces
sary t conduct them to the entertain
ment hall, they had so far
their mental poise that their escort
considered it safe to make the trial
All went we'll till they emerged from
the dressing room to mount the stage
In going up the steps leading thereto,
Riley fell full length, and Nye became
almost c~onvulsive in his enjoyment OF
the incident. Watch me do that
stunt" he said, and with form erect
he paced to the front of the platform
and launched into his humorous dis
course,
There was never anything like it
before or since In Lebanon says Neal.
The evening was one Of keen enjoy
ment from start t. finish. Their re
partee, their keen humor n scintillat'
ing wit, kept the audience in an uproar
and there was not a soul present who
had the slightest idea that the perform,
ers were In anything but their usual
mood. At the close Riley hastily wins
pered to Neal that it would be wise
for them not to spend any time in
greeting the ladies Of the church or.
ganization under the auspices OF
which the entertainment had been Civ,
en-, as their e%xhalations might arouse
the suspicion that they were not alto
gether proper subjects for church en-
tertainments. Without ceremony they
were hustled back to the hotel, where
they spent a night of pleasure-accord-
ing to James Whitcomb Riley's pecul.

100 Reward, 1oo

The readers OF this paper will be
pleased TO learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure In all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer one hundred dollars for
any case that 1t fails to cure. Send

ming, gathering literary material. is
c%aptivated with the scenery in the
Wind River mountains, especially
among those peaks that have Fremont
as their captain.
They are indeed a savage and splen
did line of giants says Mr.. Garland.
Last year | was in the Alps and climb
ed high above Zermatt and Chamonix,
and the stern isolation of Fremont and
Bannon peaks quite held their own in
comparison with the greatest of the
Alps ave possibly Mont Rosa and Mont
Blanc. American mountains. generally
speaking, are less precipitous than the
Alps, but there are cliffs and pinnacles
in the Wind River range that would
afford an excellent test of skill and ell
durance for an Alpine guide or a par
ty of German students"
1t Is unfortunate that there are not
more travellers who are as sincere and
honest as Mr.. Garland. There are
COuIlltSS WouutlS III thc ItoShy lhouh
tains-not alone in the Wind River
peaks, but in very state whose Dor
ders are penetrated by the main range.
Colorado is full of amazing and awe
inspiring views that cannot be sur
|passed anywhere in the world. Yet
many people who consider themselves
good Americans wild spend their
money and time in a our Of Switzer-
land and will only shrug their shout
ders when some honest American, who
has made comparisons, will tell them
they might have had as good climbing
and as awe-inspiring views in the
Rocky mountains.
Some time ago there was organized
la society whose slogan was See
America First" The members pledg-
ed themselves to see the wonders of
their own country before they looked
upon the wonders of the old world.
This is an admirable idea. How hui
initiating it must be to the European
tourist to meet a travelled foreigner
who descants upon the wonders of the
| Yellowstone, the majesty of the peaks
of Colorado and Wyoming, and the
| glories of the Grand canon-humiliat-
ing because the shallow American has
to confess he has seen none of these
things. And with what contempt
must the travelled foreigner look upon
a man who has had oil these wonders
at his very elbow all his lifetime, and
yet who has gone abroad to get i'm
pressions!"
When one reads of the crowded ships
bearing American tourists to the beat
en- pathways of Europe, and then
turns to q rhapsody like the praise Mr..
Garland has written of the charms of
the untrodden solitudes of the Rocky
mountains, it makes one wish that the
American tourist were given more to
a real search for beauty instead OF
doing So mucn insincere posing.-Den-

Stories from Rea, Life.

Hon. John l.. Baird, the popular
banker merchant-stockman Of New
castle, tells a good story on himself.
After a call for a statement of his
bank by the comptroller of the treas
ury, which statement in Mr.. Baird's
judgment was a particularly good ore
the bank reprinted 1t in pamphlet form
and mailed it to all of its customers.
A few days afterward a depositof
from a remote ranch and a good per.
sonal friend Of Mr.. Baird came to New.
castle. He called at the bank and ask
ed to see Mr.. Baird privately. With
some evidence Of nervousness he drew
the bank statement from his pocket
and asked what it all meant.
And he was very much surprised
and relieved when he found the bank
was not only solvent but had a surplus.
When I got that letter." he said,
land looked over those f1gures-'re'
sources on one side and liabilities
on the other and both exactly the same
l said to the old woman, 'Baird's bank
is broke so 1 came to town to look
into the matter"
Il couldn't see why the resources
shouldn't be greater than the liabili
ties" he said.

making clear to him the system Of bal,
