Up to the first of June 1900
names of those who drew winning
numbers in the Cheyenne river and
Standing Rock land drawings had
been called for filing and only 1887
had appeared to file. AS the num-
bers get higher the failures to ap-
pear increase so it is not believed
that over one third of the first 5000
who drew will file. This does not
indicate that the demand for land
is decreasing but rather that the
government has been so liberal
with the Indians in the price to be
paid for this land that unless one
draws town site he loses if he
wins.

Scotland, Lodge NO. 52 A. i. q
A. M.
Whereas: the great and supreme
Architect of the universe has in
His infinite wisdom removed from
among US one of our worthy and
esteemed brothers, James M. Dain !;
we, while bowing to the inevitable
decree "that the dust shall return
TO the earth asit was, and the spir-
it shall return to God, who gave it"
deeply deplore the severance of an
other link from our fraternal chain;
Therefore be it resolved: that
the wisdom and ability which he
has exercised in the aid of our or
ganization by service, contribu-
tions and council, will be held in
grateful remembrance.
Resolved: that the sudden re
moval of such a life from our midst
leaves a vacancy and a shadow
that will be deeply realized by all
the members and friends of this
organization, and will prove a Sc
rious loss to the community and
the public.
Resolved: that with deep sym
pathy with the bereaved relatives
of the deceased We express our hope
that even so great a loss to us all
may be overruled for good by Him
who doeth all things we'll.
Resolved: that as a tribute of
our affection the lodge be draped
in mourning for period of thirty
days, memorial page inserted in
our minutes, and copy of the
foregoing be presented to the fam
lily of the deceased brother, and
these resolutions be published in
our city papers.
"Thou art gone to the grave; !;
but t'were wrong to deplore thee
When God was thy trust and thy
guardian and guide;
He gave thee, He took thee, and
soon will restore thee,
In the blest Lodge above, where
the faithful abide.''

The insurgent members of con-
gress are planning on going to New
York in a body June 18th to at
tend the reception to ex-President
Roosevelt. They are expecting
that he will fall on their necks and
proclaim to the world his hearty
sympathy for their cause. They
are even sending out press reports
to the effect that some insurgent
somewhere, sometime has received
a letter from Mr.. Roosevelt hearth
ly approving the stand that the in
surgents have taken. Mr.. Roose-
velt warned the people against
such canards some time ago. He
has positively refused to express
any opinion on American politics
and said that any opinion purport-
ing to come from him must be re-
garded as unauthorized. He may
approve Of some things advocated
by the insurgents. Some of the
things advocated by them are wor-
thy of consideration. But that Mr..
Roosevelt will take any aggressive
stand either way in a factional
fight in the republican party is
very unlikely.
