THE Blue and The GRAY"
A Wartime Poem That Has Been Famous
Since 1867.

The poem printed below was writ.
ten by Francis Miles Finch. 1t was
occasioned by an item which appeared
in the New York Tribune in 1867
1.-The women of Columbus, Miss., ami
mated by nobler sentiments than
many of their sisters, have shown
themselves impartial in their offerings
made to the memory of the dead. They
strewed flowers alike on the graves o.
the Confederate and of the nationa
soldiers" The poem. prefaced by this
item. was first published in the Allan
tic Monthly for September, 1867, anC
at once attracted wide attention:
BY the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets or iron have fled
Where the blades of the grave-gras!
culver,
Asleep are the ranks of the dead:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day,
Under the one, the Blue,
Under the other, the Gray.
These in the robings Of glory,
Those in the gloom of defeat,
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 sorroWful hours
The desolate mOurners 60,
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe:
Under the sod and the dew
Waiting the judgment day,
Under the roses, the Blue,
Under the lilies, the gray.
So, with al equal splendor,
The morning sun-rays fall,
With a touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgpent-day;
Broidered with gold. the Blue
Mellowed with gold, the Gray
So, when the summer calleth,
On forest and field of grain,
So, when the summer calleth,
On forest and fieln of grain,
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip of the rain:
Under The sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
| Wet with the rain, the Blue,
Wet with the rain, the Gray.
Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was done,
In the storm of the years that ar
fading
No Drawer battle was wOn:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgmentday;
Under the blossoms, the Blue,
Under the %garlands, the Gray.
No more shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger for ever
When they laurel the graves of on
dead:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.

SAYS NEVADA
GAMBLING LAWS
ARE DEFECTIVE
INTERNATIONAL REFORM b.
REAU MAN FINDS SERIOUS
LOOPHOLES.

Wilbur f. Crafts, superintendent
and treasurer of the International
Reform bureau, of Washington. D.
c., the organization which, he says,
brought the pressure to bear on
California that stopped the big
fight there. was in Reno Yesterday
Investigating the reform laws of
this state, says the Reno Journal.
He states that the so-called anti
gambling bill is radically defective
in a most important particular and
in addition states that he is work
ing to create agitation for the pas
sage of more reform legislation.
Mr.. Crafts said that he was as
tonished to find that betting on the
races in poolrooms was not affected
by the so-called anti-gambling law
He said that betting on the horse
races was monopoly in the gam.
bling line and that the law recent.
ly passed simply changed the form
of gambling from roulette, faro and
dice to betting on the races. Ne
vada, he said, was one of seven
states where gambling on the races
was permitted.
Mr.. Crafts has been fighting the
so-called Belmont race track trust
since 1896. He says that the trust
has a practical monopoly on tn,
racing game that allows the rich tt
pursue their unlawful activities IL
places where the poor are barred
out
A bill is already before congress:
Mr.. Crafts says, to prohibit the
transportation of prize fight pic
/ lures from one state to another.
Mr.. Crafts purpose is to organ
ize a state committee to work OF
reform lines which will embrac,
among its objects further reform
Legislation, prohibition laws, divorc,
laws and more complete anti-gam
bling laws as we'll as the prohibit
ton of prize fights.

CUPRITE Will
HAVE SULPHURIC
ACID PLANT
NEW COMPANY PURCHASES BIG
ACREAGE OF SULPHUR
LANDS.

Ellsworth Oldt, recorder and
earliest locator of the Cuprite dis
trict, has returned from Los An
geles by way of Reno and the
arena, with news of an important
deal involving 400 acres of ground
at Cuprite, containing some of the
largest and richest deposits of ma
tive sulphur known to exist in the
country. These are the original sui
phur filings owned by the Cuprite
Sulphur company and are regarded
by experts as constituting the most
valuable sulphur property in the
west. The former owners, in addi-
ton to Mr.. Oldt, were George
Smith, the late H. ]. Kurigen,
Frank Crosse. Robert Page and c..
j. Hasman. These men will still
retain an important interest in the
purchasing company.
During Mr.. Oldt's stay in Los
Angeles the final details of the
property's transfer were consum-
mated and final payments made, the
negotiations on the other side be-
ing conducted by Mr.. Baruch,
who is president of the new con-
Germ which will proceed to erect a
plant with retorts of large capacity
and plant for the production of
sulphuric acid Mr.. Baruch and
others interested are expected to
arrive on the ground within a few
days to formulate plans for extern
sive development and the construc-
ton of reduction plants. A New
York company some time ago COM
pleted the purchase on another
group of sulphur claims in the Gu
prite district for which the sum of
$4,000 was paid.

MR MCCURDY SAYS HE |S NOT A
 DEAD ONE Cowboy Lawyer Writes that Reports of Demise Are
 Exaggerated

Walter J. N. McCurdy, known in this city as the "Cowboy Lawyer" and who was reported to have been killed in Mexico some weeks ago, is alive, at least McCurdy himself so states in a communication to the Silver Belt, which ought to be authentic.
 Some time ago reports of McCurdy s death were published in this city and in other parts of the territory as well. These reports reached McCurdy in Sac ramento, Cal, a few days ago, with the result that he sent the following communication to the Silver Belt:
 "I have just received a letter from my cousin in Globe, MT. Edwin c. Bright, stating that he had been told that l had been killed in Mexico and that there was piece in the Silver Belt about it some time ago. It IS true that l was in Mexico, but I was not killed there, and I am more alive now than ever before in my life.
 ''You will probably remember me, as I was called the Cowboy Lawyer while in Globe.
 "Assuring you that l am still alive and hope to be for many years, l am as ever,
 "Yours very truly,
 "WALTER J. N. M 'CURDY'.
 McCurdy was a former resident of this city and his many friends will be glad to know that the report concern ing his death was a fallacy.
