terssted discussion by the principal off,
GERS of that bureau, and various opinions
are expressed as to it, scope and mean
ing. It Is pointed out that there are now
pending In the general land Office thou
sands Of cases which will be affected by
the decision. In committed homestead
and presumption entries, timber culture
cases and final homestead cases the prac-
tice of the general land Office has been to
allow final proof to be taken before q
clerk Of court Of record, or q clerk Of q
county conrt.
In Mineral Cases
proof could heretofore be made before q
state notary public. None of the officers
named are United States officers, and
whether the practice IF the general land
Office must be changed, and whether in
cases now pending, the proof already
taken before these 0Acers is worthless
in the eyes of the law, are serious ques-
tions with Commissioner Stockslager
and his immediate advisers. It is as
serted that in
Nine Out Of Bvery Ten
of the mineral cases now pending In
the general land Office, final proof has

Dakota Republicans Must Induce the Red

Detroit Tribune.
The fact that a largo tribe of Sioux In
dians will become voters before long Is Civ
how they will be likely to vote. The South
Dakota Republicans have such an over
whelming majority that they are not lying
awake nights worrying over the question,
for IL every Sioux in that State should vote
the Democratic ticket the result would not
be changed.
But something is due to the poor Indian.
The Republicans should try to bring him
up in the way he should 60. politically aud
astray by designing Democrats. But he
will be II they can get him in their hands
They will appeal to his love for fre-water,
and tell him ii he votes the Republican
ticket he votes to cut OF the supply of his
~favorite beverage. They think they hold
the argument that will swing him into the
Bourbon ranks the frst time it goes of.
They assume that all Indians are fonder of
hre-water than anything else, and all they
tell him that their party is in favor of free
n unrestricted fire-water. while the Re-
publicans are not.
1t must be confessed that the Democrats
have the pull" on the red man. provided
he 10 unanimously or by a large majority In
favor of a never-failiDg supply of booze.
But right here is where good Republican
missionary work needs to be done. 1t is a
grand opportunity. Republicans must
take the red man by the hand. and converse
with him on subjects pertaining TO bis
moral q material welfare. They must
show him that the fire-water route into the
dim future is a mighty hard road TO travel.
and leads to a bad jurnping-of place many
leagues distant from the happy hunting
grounds. The intelligent red man can be
reached in this way. and he can persuade
the ignorant TO steer clear of everything
that carries a Bourbon flavor.
1t Is not their votes the Republicans

material welfare; but we cannot expect
them to become sober. industrious and use
full citizens by voting the fire-water ticket.
tits, therefore, the duty of Republicans 10
cultivate the red man and get him started
in the right direction.
While Republicans are appealing to his
reason and conscience the Democrats will
appeal to his appetite and passions. and
for a time the latter may bag the most
game, but il will nevertheless be the duty
OF Republicans TO save as much or the red
man as possible.

The unrivaled orchestra of which Theo-
dore Thomas is the leader has not ap-
peared here for @ number Of years. and
when the instrumentalists came Upon the
stage at the Grand Opera-house last night
they faced brilliant audience. When the
great director made his entrance he was
greeted with great applause. Time has
dealt gently with Mr.. Thomas. and his fa-

he first came to this city years ago. He has

he permits a popular vote to decide what
numbers shall be given in the cities he

three programmes. and it may be said hat
the "~Tannhauser' decided the choice. This
was the first played. The irst deep notes
gave the theme which takes the prominent
part throughout the entire composition,
and after they have been played the lighter
toned Instrument gradually take up the
theme until the whole orchestra of sixty
pieces rises and swells In mag 'ficent vol

that it thrills the nearer, and the rise and
fall of the BOWS charms the eye. The
"Andante of the Fifth SYMPHONY" which
was also given, is one of the daintiest and
most exquisite gems that attracts the pub
lie ear, and is q particular favorite. With

Proceedings In Insanity to Secure the APP
p~ointment of a Guardian.
For the past three days a trial has been
under way in the Circuit Court, which, as
the evidence progressed, aroused more than
a passing interest in the outcome. 1t is an
effort on the part of some of the children of
Jonah Lemon, q resident Of Castleton, to
prove his insanity and rave a guardian ap-
pointed to take care of his estate.
Back of the case lies q history
in which domestic troubles appear. As it
isnow before the court, Daniel A. Lemon is
the only child of the old man, who is op-
posed to the proceedings. The other four
all daughters-are the petitioners. and are
supported in the case by their respective
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Schofeld. William V.
Rocker. H. S. Hutchins and Alfred Ellis.
As brought out in the evidence. yesterday.
o large share of the quarrel seems to fall
upon Daniel. Lemon. Last May, it was
stated. he took his father to Ohio, and there
left him with his cousin. henry Lemon:
Returning to this city again: Daniel seemed
to ia Ike a great interest In his fathers wei
fare. He and his sisters consulted together
but little on the subject, it is said, but
10 decided steps were taken. Subse-
~quently. Daniel Lemons leaving the
his return to Indianapolis, the evidence
showed that Daniel and his family came
to an understanding regarding his sudden
departure.
1t was then that the daughters made an
effort to lave their father brought back
from Ohio in order that matters of business
iels disappearance might be settled.
The children cl lain that their father is not
q man who would voluntarily OK pend large
sums of money which have in some way
been secured by outside parties. 1t isupon
a plea of insanity. as the result of a para
lytic stroke. that they base their
hopes for the appointment of a guardian.
DR.. w. b. Fletcher was on the witness
stand, yesterday afternoon. to give expert
testimony on the different kinds of insan-
ity. The evidence in favor of Mr.. Lemon
will be begun this morning, and it is not
probable that a decision will be reached
for several days. The trial is by jury.
