THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

BY the flow OF the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fled
Where the blades OF grave grass
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 ard the dew.
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the laurel the Blue.
Under the willow the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful bowers,
The desolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe.
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the Judgment day;
ndcr the roses the Blue,
Under the lilies the Gray.
SO, with an equal splendor,
The morning sun rays fall;
With ia touch. impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Embroidered with gold the Blue,
Mellowed with gold the Gray
So, when the summer calleth.
On the forest and field of grain;
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip OF the rain;
Urder 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;
Ii the storms of the years that are
fading
No drawer battle was Won
Under the sod ard the dew.
Waiting the judgment day;
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 forever
When they laurel the graves Of Oul
dead.
Under the sod and the dew;
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.

STRIKE TO BE CALLED
Complete Tie-up of West Virginia
Will be Ordered Tomorrow.

International officers of the United
Mine Workers have been summoned
TO Oskaloosa TO meet with President
John p. White, Tuesday, September
II, in an important conference. Mr..
White who has been at his home in
Oskaloosa several days taking a
needed rest after a particularly try
ing campaign in Oklahoma fields,
called the conference to this place.
Mr.. White announced to-day that
such conference would be held in
mining the attitude of the Union in
West Virginia. Indications are that
a complete tie up of all the mines in
West Virginia will be ordered at this
meeting. Mr.. White realizes the i'm
portance of unionizing the mines of
West Virginia. He is in deep sym
pathy with the miners in their strug-
gle, and those on the inside of affairs
predict that he is now ready to make
an effective move in that state that
will tie up all the mines of this rich
coal producing district. White recog-
nizes the extent of the opportunity
and no doubt at Tuesdays meeting
will issue an order extending hope
and encouragement to the miners of
the state. Students of the mining
situation admit that White can strike
a telling blow to the non-union coal
operators and they believe that he
realizes his opportunity and will
make the most of it, The sympathy
of the public is with him for the con-
ditions in the non-union coal mines of
West Virginia are deplorable and the
miners can count on the International
President placing the full financial
strength of the union to aid them in
their struggle.

day and Saturday the grand jury was
busy with the cases against the forty
four merchants of the city who are
charged with violating the state laws
with respect to conducting lottery.
The investigation was resumed this

jurors will finish their work some time
during the day. County Attorney
Reed and Assistant Attorney General
Sampson have been assisting in the
investigation. Two indictments have
already been returned. One was
against Louis Condoy, who is accused
of breaking and entering. Another
indicted was Julius Kalinousky. who
is charged with larceny. He is said
to have secured sums Of $500 and 5000
from the Deep River bank by wire
through a bank at Wausau, Wis, rep.
resenting himself as Joseph Vitera.
