DR.. Charles A. Eastman, a -blooded
Sioux. Indian, who has been educated
and converted, is delivering addresses
on the Sac and Fox tribes at Tama
DR.. Eastman says they are the most
benighted of all Indians in the west
Surrounded as they are by Christian
people and cities with fine churches,
they have been almost let alone by
these influences, but have been con-
stantly the victims and pupils of gam
blers, drinkers, and licentious fellows
until they have no spark of confidence
in the pale face. 1t will require long
and patient toll to Iestore the trust sc
rudely shaken, and overcome the nat.

The preliminary examination of Jas
Henri, alleged to be implicated in the
mint steal, began at Carson, Nevada,
before the United States commissioner
Saturday. The first mitness called was
Hirsch Harris, the present melter and
