IN BEHALF OF THE INDIAN Efforts of the Goverament to Oust Lessees of Allotted Tribal Lands, CASE PENDING IN FEDERAL COURT ing Point Relatly citi- Contentions of the Statutes Intere: zenship in Involve Defendant Company Governing the ¢ A case in which a great deal of evidence was taken in this city during the past week and which s of more than passing interest §s that the Flournoy Live Stock and Real Zstate company against Captain W. H Beck. The case is pending before Judge anborn of the federal circuit court and the testimony here was taken before the special examiner in chancery and will be submitted to him 'he main point to be settled is as to the fnterest of the government in the Indian and the right to exercis guardianship over him and the determination of the period after the acquirement of citizenship when that right of guardiunship expires. Therc ars a number of interesting features econ nected with the case, and with it is also incidentally connected, under existing cir cumstances, what practically amounts to a eal of something like $90,000 a year e L ontroversy involves tie right of the Indians to sublage to speculators lands that allotted to them in accordance with W the provisions of the Dawes bill, which was passed in 1887, That bill lad reference to the allotment of lands to the Indians and provides as follows hat upon the ap- proval of the allotments provided for in this act by the secretary of the interior, he shall o patents to fes therefor in the nam of the allottecs, which pat nt shall be of legal effect, and declare t the United States does and will hold the land thus allotted for the period of twenty-flve vears in trust for the sole use and benefit of the Indian to whom the allotment shall have been made or, in case of his death, of his heirs ac tate or territory laws of th ording to th where such land is located, and that at the expiration of sald period the, United States ghall convey the same by patent to said Indian, or his helrs as aforesald, in fee, dis charged of said trust and free of all in- cumbrance whatsoever; provided, that the president of the United States may in any case In his discretion extend the period. And if any conveyance shall be made of the lunds set apart and allotted as herein pro- vided, or any contract made touching th before the expiration of the time men- sanme tioned, such conveyance or contract shall be abrolutely null and void.” The act further confers upon Indians to been made under its es and im- whom allotments have provisions all the rights, privi munities of citizenship. TEMPTATION TO LAND GRABBER Under the provisions of (his act, the al- Jotment of lands to the Winnebago and Omaha Indians at the agency in Thurston county was begun, the first allotment being The alluring temptation to enthusiasts manifested itself shortly afterward, and the Fiournoy com- pany was organized and began the illegal Jeasing of the allotted lands during the lat- made in 1589, land-grabbing ter part of 1800 and the carly part of 1891 This corporation s composed of three ndividuals—John §. Lemmon, a squaw man, president; J. S. Meyers, ex-county clerk, and A. W. Turner, ex-clerk at the agency. Lemmon's wife is the daughter of the late Henry M. Rice, ex-governor and ex-United States senator from Minnesota, and Wee- hun-kaw, a full-blooded Winnebago squaw, with whom Rice lived while post-trader at the agency, It may be remarked in- cftlentally that the two children of this un- Jiwful relation, Mrs. Lemmon and her Wrother, were recent figures in court in an attempt to secure,a generous slice of the property of their father, but were unsu cessful because of the fatal —Winnebago or made by their mother of also living with another man by whom she became the mother of six children. Of the 103,000 acres of land subject to al- Jotment, about 90,000 acres have been al- lotted, and the Flournoy company has se- cured. control of 37,000 acres of this allotted property. It leased the lands from the Indians for an average price of about 15 cents per acre, and then sub-leased it to the present occupant, who the com- pany from $2 to $2.50 per acre per year, hus affording the rapacious land-grabbing corporation an annual rake-off of nearly $30,000 without the investment of a dollar. This is the condition of affairs that led up to the institution of the present suit. Captain. William H. Beck, Tenth cavalry, acting Indlan agent at the agency, under the personal appointment of the president of the United States, was assigned to that osition June 16, 1893, me time prior o his appointment there had been consi erable trouble at that point hecause of this fllegal, unauthorized and unsanctioned leas- ing of Indlan lands by white men, and par- ticularly by this corporation. The Indian burcau of the Department of the Interior set out to accomplish the desteuction of this system of illegal leasing before it brought about the subversion of efficient agency wupervision, and to thut end gpecifically directed Captain Deck what to do and how to do it. He was directed to notify both lessors and accupants under these illegal and void contracts to make N0 more such leages and to surrender pos- session of the property t they unlaw- fully held by December 31, 1883, He did 0, and was proceeding to make new leases of some of the lands at adequate prices for the full benefit of the Indiun allottces under the law and the rules and regulations of the department when the Flournoy com- pany rushed into court and secured an in- Junction from Judge Dundy restraining him from proceeding further in the matter. That was last summer, and in the fall, after being bound hand and foot in the matter for some time, he moved for a dissolution of the injunction, The injunction was dis- solved by Judge Sanborm, but the agent was given no authority to use military force to compel the vacation of the leased lands by the occupants. It Is to secure that right that he is still pushing the caxe CHARACTER OF THE OCCUPAN The great majority of the pants of the lands are ho s, present occu- t, fair-minded tillers of the soil, who are paying a fair rental for the lands, and many are more than willing that the amount thus paid should go to the Indlans, who are the right- ful beneficlaries, but the Flournoy company holds their notes, which they are led to be- Ileve they will have to pay, notwithstanding the order of the court which declares the contract illegal, and its provisions, there fore, null and vold, The contention of the Flournoy company is that fnasmuch as the Indians are invested Wwith the rights of citizenship they are their own dawful agents, and empowered to make such contracts as to them scen best. It is a fact that the Iudians are much dissatisfied with the arrangement as it now exists, for they were not long in finding out how they had been duped and tricked by the white man The suit is really one in which the federal government Is the defendant, and it is rep- yesented by United States District Attorney Bawyer and Ralph W. Hreckinridge of this clty, special solicitor for the defendant, By the provisions of the treaty with the Winnebagoes, tracts of land allotted or as- jgned to them “shall not bo alienated in re6, leased or otherwise dispo: of, except o the United States or (o other members of the tribe, under such rules and regulations a8 may be prescribed by the secretary of Ee interior,”” and the act of 1863 provides at “they shall be deemed Incapable of aking any valid civil contract with any rdon other thin a native member of their tribe, without the consent of the president of the United States." The defendant further relies on the re- uirements of the congressional act that Evury Indian who shall be invested with the ights of citizenship must have abandoned ‘ll tribal relations and adopted the habits of civilized life. The Flournoy company Gontends that the mere fact of the allotment Gonfers citizenship, while the Department of he Tuterior has always construed it to mean sallottees who adopt the habits of civilized lite." TRIBAL RELATIONS NOT INTERRUPTED As a matter of fact, mapy of the Indians At the reservation continue the pernicious practice of polygamy, retalning all the Win: nebago Indian marriage customs. One of the witnesses examined at the recent hear- ing, who has lived among them for years as an interpreter, testified that he had known of but three legal marriages among them in as many years. They retain and wear the costumes and garb of savagery, living in tents or tepees, and always, with few ex- ceptions, 8o living in the winter, returning in the summer to the homes provided for them by the government. They make their women do the drudgery and perform the hard manual labor. and practice their sav- age dances and funeral rites, They have maintained their tribal organization by the election of a council or body of head-men for the transaction of the business of the tribe, very few of them, less than twenty out of 500 adults, being able to speak the English language sufficiently to transact any business themselves, and an official inter- preter is required and paid by the govern- ment, These allottces receive their dis- tributive share of the annuities of goods, clothing and money lssued to the Winnebago tribe, while the government has recently erected school bufldings on the res- ervation at a cost of $22,000, employing teachers to Instruct the Indian youth, and an Indian polics is kept up and ‘an agency farmer and agency physiclan are employed, all of whom are paid by the government to look after the interests of its wards That the Indian is not a match in com- mercial trickery and business cunning for the shrewd, avaricious and unscrupulous white man admits of no argument, and it was to protect the unsophisticated aborigine from being swindled out of the returns of his allotment that congress threw around the grant the restrictions that were imposed How well it worked may be seen from the admissfons of both sides In this controversy that the plaintiff corporation has secured control over one-third of the entire amount of lands allotted to the Indians for a mere song, and the proceeds yielded by the prop- erty are swelling the coffers of a wind- stocked corporation Instead of supporting the Indian allottees. The indians are still being supported by the government, while the property that was turned over to them to enable them to earn a living is yielding a bountiful return to the unscrupulous pale face _————— severest 's of rheumatism, are Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great blood Now is the time to take it.

When the great artists who planned the Co- lumblan falr decided that their magic city should be composed of groups of Greek pal- aces, instead of the terminal station or mill buildings usually chosen for such purposes, it became necessary to give serious study to their suitable sculptural adornment. One of the noblest results appeared in tlie epoch- making statues by French, McMonnies, Gaudens and other masters, almost enou in themzelves to have made the exposition illustrious. But it was necessary some of the merely decorative st duplicated and reduplicated, in order to give adequate enrichment to the vast lines of the buildings; and the manner of achieving this result was 50 ingenious as to merit record. Tha first step, of course s for the scuiptor to make a drawing of the designed figure, glving it ample study as to expression, character, drapery and other traits. Next, the inod. worker, a trained artist in his line, repro- duced this conception in clay from the goons, until its beauty and symmetry of form stood approved. When the clay figure became dry, a mold of gelantine was made from it, “as tough and flexible as a profes sional office seeker's politics.” Then the workmen brought in quantities of staff, or mingled plaster and hemp, and poured it into the mold, where it flowed into all the lines and crevices, and slowly drie and hardened into the shnilitude of a Greek god or godess. the statue was fully dry, and ready for removal, it was taken from the mold, and the men poured in another measure of staff, and made a duplicate. Some of these fragile molds w s0 tenaclous that scoros of figures were cast in each one, with unfailing accuracy and spirit Charmingly written accounts of many of these novel and Interesting processes, which helped to make our fair the greatest in his- tory, are found In the new ‘‘Book of the Builders,” written by Daniel H.

REINCARNATION NECESSARY IN EVOLUTION System Is Not the Embodiment of a T trine but Seeks the Universal Brothers Contrasted with Modern Religions. 0od of Man A number of theosophists and many who are not bellevers of thelr system gathered last night in Royal Arcanum hall in The Bea building to listen to an exposition of theosophy by Willlam Q. Judge, general s retary of the American branch of the Theo- sophic soclety. Mr. Judge was very clear and was followed attentively by his audi ence, He said in substifeo Theosophy Is not the embodiment of a doctrine; its simple object is to obtain the universal brotherhood of man. Every mem- ber is free to adopt and promulgate any doctrine, provided only that he do not force it upon any one else. Its theories put forth only for consideration. It calls for the investigation of the merits of orlental be- liefs and sclences, and for the investigation of the laws which govern the universe and man. Its sole object is to find out the truths of theosophy. Theosophy Is divine wisdom, a knowledge of nature. It Is gen erally supposed that all the laws of nature have been discovered, but science disproves this. Theosophy asserts, as a fact and not a theory, that they are unknowable, Consldering all the religions of the world, all are essentially al purgatory—it a . Catholicism teaches and art of Buddhism Brahminism. Rituals, nuns, monks, rosaries, confessions, absolution, all have their pl in Buddhism. And Brahminism is far older than Catholicism or Christianity; it hegan when no man remembers. Buddhism sprang from it 500 years before the birth of Christ. These creeds teach that the soul leaves the body and wanders around in other spheres, and ceremonies are performed to help it in this state. Prayers are offered by priests, a resemblance to Christianity. Salvation by faith is taught both by Christianity and Brahminism. Salvation by faith in Jesus, by Christianity; salvation by faith in God, by Brahminism. The coming ofChrist was taught by the Jews, who were an ignorant people. Whence did they obtain the belief? 1t was simply the belief in the coming down of a spirit from another sphere. Buddhism is embraced by two-thirds of humanity. It is gaining, spreading everywhere and threatens to continue spreading. It has never caused a bloody war. Thus we see that all religions are similar, all have come from one basis. When this basis is discov- ered, theosophy is discovered. “We will reach God.” Evolution is the ancient belief of the In- dians. They did not explain the theory like Herbert Spencer has, but just as clearly. The old religions have taught all the scientific truths. The molecular and atomic theory had been asserted long ago, but had not heen admitted by science. Na- ture is governed by evolution, which is oternal. Not only is this the case with the material world, but with the soul and moral character of man. It is impossible that it conld be otherwise, and It is here that theosophy diverges from the dogma of re- ligion. History shows that it Is so. Man creates difficulties by being ignorant of himself. Man is more than is body. If mind is only a mass of protoplasm without consciousness, how can it produce the high- est intelligenice. Hypnotism and telepathy bear proof of an inner person. St. Paul says there Is a body, soul and spirit, the spirit being highest. But life is not this alone, it is universal and eternal. When death takes place a change of combination ensucs. Why do animals take and retain cortain forms? There must be something within, Tts invisibility is no proof of un- reality. Everything has an ethereal double This upper man—mind, soul and spirit—is immortal. It is the doctrine of the trinit of all churchies and all times. Reincarna- tion {5 necessary to the doctrine of evolu- tion. Varleties of character are otherwise inexplicable. Heredity is not an explana- tion. The character is bullt up for good or ill_from experiences through all one's life. Genfus cannot be explained by heredity, but is by reincarnation. All misfortunes, and sufferings, are justice and recompense, Nature allows no force to become annihilated Each action must have its reaction. Every thought that is engendered, but is not carried out, must by nature come back. The present conditions in the United States have been brought about by a violation of human brotherhood. Man in his desire for wealth forgets his spiritual nature. This is a result of the teachings of religion and science. Rellgion shows a material heaven; sclence a mechanical world. Al should and must act for all to obtain a grand civiliza- tion. Theosophy says that the thoughts and the actions of this civilization will form the next, and know no death. Theosophy Is our life and our death and our immortality After the lecture permission was granted to any in the audience to ask questions on the subject. Several availed themselves of the opportunity, Dr. Mercer being one. The doctor stated that he could not accept rein- carnation and considered life to be the re- sult of three factors: Heredity, environ- ment and accident. Mr. Judge was ready to admit the existenco of the first two, secondary to reinearnation, but denicd the last. CONFIRMATION AT ST. PETER'S. Parochial School Children and Forty Others Recelve Their First Commun for many weeks the children and pupils of St. Peter's parochlal school at Twenty- cighth and Leavenworth prepared for the confirmation services which occurred yester- day morning and the class which went out yesterday was one creditable not only to the school, but to the city. The school is now in its seventh year and is conducted by the sisters of the Sacred Heart, with a pleasant-faced sister known and loved by the pupils as Madame 0'Con r at the ead of them. Father Walsh, the pastor of the parish, give school his supervision. The pupils are in- structed in all the branches taught in the public schools, and rank grade for grade with those in any of them, and in addition they are instructed in the doctrines of the church, polite deportment, music, fancy the work and other things. There are four weil ventilated rooms, supplied with all the books, charts and educational appliances necessary for the instruction of the 160 chil- dren now in attendauce, charge are moro than made by the school.

Contrast Between the Life of Lot and that of Abraham. the First fPresbyterian church last the pastor, Rev. J. M. Patterson, on the topic of “Tents Toward At evening preached Sodom.” He said: Lot was a common type of humanity. He was neither extreme in his goodness nor his badness, He was neither a John nor an Absolom. He was a type of what we call a worldly believer, a half-hearted Christian, a self-seeking man. When his uncle, Abra- ham, gave him the choice of the land in which they two dwelt, Lot chose the plain of Jordan and pitched his tent towards Sodom. He then gradually gravitated to- wards Sodom. He was soon a resident of Sodom, then he was a taxpayer of Sodom, then he suffered by the invasion of enemies against Sodom, was taken away captive with all his goods, was generously rescued by Abraham. Failing to heed the warning, he returned to the ecity of the plain,» became one of its distinguished citizens, grew more and more worldly, grew richer and richer. At last, in answer to the intercession of Abraham, God sent angels to warn Lot of the approching doom of Sodom and to lead him forth from the city of destruction The ‘master motive of Lot's life was self. His self-seeking led him first to disregard the rights of others, and then it led him to adopt low views of life. The offer of Abra- ham was a pivotal point in his history, and he choose the beautiful valley towards Sodom, and then the magretic power of sin led him into the temptations and perils of that corrupt amad doomed city. It was morally certain that he would soon become a resident of Sodom when first he pitched his tent towards it. We ses in Lot not only a notable illustration of the magnetism of sin, but also of the cost of sin. It cost him his’ worldly gains ultimately, to live the life that he did; it cost him his friends, espe- cially the princely Abraham; it cost him his family; it cost him his influence with his nelghbors, and it cost him all his peace of mind. Every one of you is pitching his tent in some direction, making Lot's cholce or Abraham’s choice. Abraham walked with God. Look at the grand old patriarch, Abraham, the typical life of faith, and then look at the wretched wreck of a man that trled to serve both God and man! Sec how Lot hesitates and lingers as the angels urge him to depart from Sodom ere the awful cloud of vengeance bursts upon that guilt- cursed city! And so men linger today, fas- cinated with sin and vice, and so God sends his messengers today with the firm grasp of love, to persuade them to leave the city of destruction. As the angels hastened the lingering Lot, 80 may the good spirit of God hasten you with whispers of mercy and the gentle influences of love. Gext Sabbath Mr. Patterson will close his pastorate of the First church by preachi morning and evening.

All have splen- did volces for their parts, blended ad- mirably, and the work they do is of great beauty and power. They sang twice at the morning service and were given first place in the service in the evening, which was made one of praise and song. The quartet also sang at Men’s Christian_association o'clock in the afternoon.
