VISIT OF PRESIDENT BUSH.

The visit Of President Benjamin j
Bush of the Rio Grande Railroad to
this city evidently presages good
things, both for the road and fol
Utah. We Judge. from the statements
made by President Bush and carried
in Yesterday morning S Tribune. that
the programme in view, practically. is
TO do for the Rio Graudc road under
Mr.. Bush S direction, management, and
supervision the same sort Of remodel
lug and reconstruction for the Rio
Grade road that Nj, Hartman did
with such conspicuous success for the
! Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific
between Omaba and san Francisco,
! That Tcmodcling WAS tho admiration of
the world; and now similar process

DON'T HAVE GRAY HAIR.
A Simple Remedy Will Bring Back the Natural Color.

Pull out. one gray hair and dozen
 will take it's place. is an old saying,
 which is to a great extent, true, if no
 steps are taken to stop the cause. When
 gray hairs appear it is a sign that Ma ture needs assistance. It is Natures call for help. Gray hair, dull, lifeless hair. or hair that is falling out, is not
 necessarily a sign of advancing age, for there are thousands of elderly people with perfect heads of hair without a single streak of gray.
 When gray hairs come, or when the
 hair seems to be lifeless or dead, some gosd, reliable hair-restoring treatment
 should be resorted to at once. Special ists say that one of the best prepafa- tions to use is the old-fashioned sage tea" which our grandparents used. The 1 best preparation of this kind is Wyeth's 1 Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a preparation of domestic sage and sul- phur, scientifically compounded with later discovered hair tonics and st1m- ulants, the whole mixture being care fully balanced and tested by experts. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean md wholesome and perfectly harmless.
 It refreshes dry, parched hair, removes dandruff and gradually restores taded
 or gray hair to it's natural color.
 ] Don't delay another minute. Start using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
 once and see what a difference a lew
 days treatment will make in your hair' This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, ana IS recommended and sold by all druggists Lee & Osgood agent.
