The Greeks and Their Lands

Returns received at the Office of
Indian Affairs indicate that the bal
lot taken the other day among the
Creeks resulted in majority of
from 800 to 400 for ratiiying the
agreement made with the Dawes
Commission 10 allot the tribal lands
in severalty. The Choctaws and the
Chickasaws accepted provisions tor
the same purpose some time ago,
and the Seminoles are "practically
one nation with the Creeks, rs A
gent VISION expressed it, SO that
now the Chcrokccs are alone among
the five civilized tribes in opposing
the new movement. Even they are
subject to the mandatory provisions
of the recent Curtis act; but a pop
ular vote for severaltv allotments is
more satisfactory and more in ac-
cord with the principle of home
rule.
The annual report Just made by
the Dawes Commission tells what
has been accomplished by its years
work. The old system Of Indian
laws and courts in the Indian Ter
ritory has given way, with a few
minor exceptions, to claws cores
ponding to those of Arkansas" or
the same subjects, with the United
States courts and officers to cntorc,
them. Provision has been made toI
the allotment o! tribal lands among
the citizens, and, except among the
Cherokees, on terms agreed To by
popular vote, 50 that "the many
thousands Of white residents in tn,
towns unable heretofore to obtain
title to ;he land on which they hav,
built their homes, and sometimes eX.
pensive business houses, can nov
purchase at fair appraisal thes'
lands" Finally, the rights whicl
residents in other Territories hav,
ar, extended To the Indian citizen.
Of the Indian Territory and in some
degree to the white residents.
There i, much still to be done
The question of the white intruder
remains to be settled practically
and the diiiiu!tics OF making VI
frccmcn rolls for the tribes are great
but the vote OF the Greeks is an en-
couraging step forward.

that the letters and the money were
part of ruse to rashly accomplish
her death.
After a time the letters ceased to
come, and all the mother love took
possession OF the woman who had
been cruelty prosecuted without rea-
son. Fearing that some accident had
befallen her child, she went to Camp
Alger, only to learn thatthe Twelfth
Pennsylvania had been sent to Camp
Meade and that Sigismund was still
with the Danville company. She
took the next train to the new camp,
and anxiously sought the quarters
of her son. They were deserted,
for he whom she loved with all her
soul had few days before been
stricken with typhoid fever and was
in critical state in the Second Di-
vision Hospital. She went there
with a heavy heart and found
her boy covered with ice to reduce
the frightful temperature. Thesur-
geons and soldiers and nurses were
doing their utmost to save the sol
dier who while tossing in his de-
lirium would cry out, 81 won't kill
you, mother ~ 81 won't kill you!"
Watching by her stricken boy, the
mother for the first time in 20 years
admitted that he was her son. She
told the surgeons the story of her
life and pleaded with them to save
the young soldier. He was all that
was left to her, and Major Whit
tington, the kind-hearted executive
officer in charge of the hospital,
promised to give the patient his per-
sonal attention. Sigismund fingered
on the brink of death for seven days.
His strong constitution finally con-
qucred the disease and last week he
was taken to Danville to his mother,
where they are living, as one who
knows expressed it, "like two low
ers." Sigismnnd will hereafter make
his home with his mother at Dan
vile. This romance of q military
camp is all the more interesting be-
cause is absolutely true in every
detail.
