THE SlOUA CAMPAIGN.
A Paper on the Subject by Capital
Woodruff, u. s. A.

A Paper on the Subject by Captain
Woodruff, U. s. A.
Parlor A of the Palace Hotel W as filled
Tuesday evening with members and guests
of the California Historical Society, the oc-
casion being the reading of the May paper by
Captain Charles A. Woodruff, u. S. A., on
the subject of "The Sioux Campaign of
1876"
Captain Woodruff was on the staff Of
General Gibson, who had charge Of one of
the divisions which were to wipe out the
Indians at the time. In consequence, the
lecturer was personally familiar with the
events he described. The lecture included
an account of the Custer massacre and the
events Immediately preceding and follow
ing.
In his remarks the lecturer questioned
the wisdom of the Government in allotting
Indian agencies to religious denoniina-
tons, ana he severely criticized the Govern
ment for the manner in which it then dealt
with the Indians. He said that the army
stood idly by until philanthropy was
aghasted at the results of its own helpless
ness and then was compelled to resort to
force.
In regard to Clusters division he said
that the massacred soldiers were the VIC
tins of an humanitarianism which has
never been equaled since the Savior said,
Father, forgive them, for they know not
what they do The speaker also attributed
the fatal result of Clusters expedition TO his
too eager desire to win all the hOnorS OF the
campaign.
The paper was warmly commended by
the members of the society, and besides
being well written, possessed the additional
merit of being well read. On motion of A.
S. Hubbard vote of thanks was extended
to the writer. The next paper will be read
on June 10Th next by DR.. G. l.. Fitch on the
subject of Life in the Hawaiian Islands,

INDIAN EDUCATION.
The Appropriation Demanded This Year
and the Work to Be Accompl isll ed.

Inc Appropriation Demanueu Inns Il eaE
and the Work to Be Accompl shed.
In his report ON Indian Education, De-
cember l, 1889, Commissioner Morgan out
lined an educational scheme, which called
for an appropriation of S2,S45.6l0 an in
crease of 81, 4S1, 042 over the appropriation
fer the current year. He has been under
the necessity of revising this estimate and
cutting down the sum asked for. This he
has reluctantly done, and now asks Tor an
increase of only SS01, 900, or S6S0,042 less
than the least sum he deemed at all ade-
quate for the work.
The Commissioner sets forth in detail the
purposes for which this sum asked for is to
be used:
First-Enlargement and better equipment
of the industrial training schools at AL
buQuerque, Carlisle, Chilocco. Genoa, Grand
Junction, Lawrence and Chemawa. Sec
ond-EQulpment of new schools just built
at Pierre. Sante Fe and Carson. Third
Two hundred and fifty-fve thousand of this
sum-which is, in the Judgment of the
Commissioner, less by ST., 600 than the least
that is needed for this purpose-will be used
to meet the obligations imposed with refer =
ence to schools among the Sioux, in the re =
cent purchase of about eleven million acre
of their land. FOurth-Forty-fiv five thousand

buildings and equipments

a suit for divorce was begun in the Su-

intimate with Cromwell in the Nucleus
House in this city, and that he has the
necessary proof to establish her crimi-
nality.
He also states that he does not desire that
she shall want for anything, and therefore
announces his willingness to pay her a

OBITUARY.
DIN O'DOWD, JR.


Died, at the home of his parents
in Mineral Point, on Sunday, October
5, 1890, Mr.. John O'Dowd, Jr.; aged
20 years.
Deceased was bright and prom
Using young man, and his death is
very sad indeed. In June last he
graduated from the Mineral Point
high school, and after securing a first
grade certificate engaged to teach
school at Ridgeway. He only fairly
commenced on his work of teaching,
however, when he was taken sick with
typhoid fever; which was about six
weeks ago. He was carefully treated
through the fever, and it was thought
that he would recover, but contrary
to expectations, he passed away on
Sunday evening at about s o'clock.
The funeral at which Rev. NJ. Chase
otiiciated, was held from the family
residence on Tuesday afternoon.
There were many in attendance, and
there were few eyes in the multitude
that were not dimmed with tears, as
the deceased was widely and favor
ably known, especially among the
young people of this vicinity. The
bereaved family have the sincere sym
pathy of the whole community.
