Charge Against Smith Dismissed

Indian Smith, the man from ker-
sey who was accused of beating a
three-legged COW, was allowed to en-
ter plea of nolle contendre Satur-
day evening and, after paying some
$23 in costs, was dismissed. Smith
formerly lived among the Indians
and is sort of medicine man.
For that reason he is in bad with
most of the neighbors and his offense
was some what exaggerated.
A yearling calf had it's leg sprain-
ed in shipment and had been left to
die by the railroad company in the
stockyards. 1t was given to Smith.
who tied up it's leg and drove It
some two miles to his ranch. The
deputy sheriff found the animal with
plenty of water and feed and did not
think the drive was half as cruel to
the animal as leaving it week in
the stockyards without anything to
eat or drink.

FITTING TRIBUTE TO SOLDaER

zens sunday-sermOn
by Rev. Dub6er

With bowed head and the memory
Of obligation. Greeley's good and
true citizens answered the call to
prayer Sunday morning, and with
their devotion and praises paid flt-
Tins tribute to our softer dead.
The Opera House was crowded
and the exercises simple but impress
sive. 1t we're meet that the memory
of our fallen heroes should be hal
lowed upon the Sabbath day, a. the
day which has been set apart for
that purpose has become rather
day of sport and diversion until the
sublime meaning of the occasion has
been lost sight of.
Sunday the old veterans. who
had given an extra rub to their brass
buttons, led the vanguard and were
supplemented by the w. r. c., the
Spanish war veterans, Sons of Vet
erans, order of Odd Fellows in full
+, uniform, and hundreds of citizens
mindful of duty to be fulfilled.
The memorial sermon by the Rev.
Dnbber was a glowing tribute to
the memory OF the soldier dead who
heard their country's call and to the
heroic mothers who sacrificed those
countless thousand sons upon the
altar of justice, liberty and union.

The Blue and the Grav
BY the flow of the iuland liver,

By the flow of the inland nver
Whence the fleets At iron have fed,
Where the blades Of tie grave grass culver,
Asleep are the ranks q the dead
Under the sod aad the dew;
Waiting the judS,nent day;
Under the one, the Blue;
Under the other, the Gray
These in the robings Of glory,
Those in the gloom of ddeat;
All with the battle blood CORY,
In the dusk of eternity meet
Under the sod and The dew;
Waiting the Judgment day
Under the laurel, the Blue
Under the willow, the Gray
From the silence of sosyowful hours
The desolate mourneu 70,
Lovingly laden with Aowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe
Under the sod and the dew;
Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the laurel the Blue;
Under the willow the Gray.
So with equal splendor
The mornings sun-raysfa
With touch impartially tender
On the blossoms blooming for all
Under the sod and the dew;
Waiting for judgement day;
Broidered with COLA, the Blue;
Mellowed with gold, the Gray.
So when the summer calldh
On forest and field of grain,
With an equal murmur faleth

Wet with the rain, the Cray.
Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was done;
In the storm of the years now fading,
No drawer battle Won
Under the sod and the dew;
Waiting for Judgment day;
Under the blossoms the Blue;
Under the garands, the Gray.
No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead
Under the sod and the dew;
Waiting for Judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue;
Tears and love for the Gray.

Nearing The End.

On Wednesday, July 21st, 1909,
we will have reached our 8Sth
mile post in the journey of life.
Our work, such as it has been,
is fast drawing to a close. We
are growing old. just waiting
for the boat to ferry us over
the mystic river of life, into
that far off country from which
no traveller ever returns, and
come when the cali may, we
can have but few regrets. We
have alredy outlived the alot-
ted life of three score years and
ten for man. Our journey has
brought may sorrows, yet we
have been permitted to gather
along the journey, many happy
memories of joy and pleasure,
and were it not for leaving the
many dear friends here, we
would hear the final call with
out regret, and yet we have the
faith of a happy meeting over
yonder. You may ask us where
and we answer: We do not
know. We talk of Heaven, but
where heaven is, or how we are
4 to reach it we do not know. We
say going to ascend or descend,
but these terms do not inform
us how, when or where; but
that we are destined to live in
the future is certain. Jesus said
to His Apostels:: II go to pre-
pare a place for you, that where
| am there shall you be also"
If we are permitted to go to the
same place the Savior goes, we
will be happy in the world to
come. In the vast universe of
God. there will be found room
for all true believers in His Son
