Owing to the war now raging in
Europe the insurance companies are
very wary about issuing policies to
men who are contemplating military
service or are subject to cali by y
foreign nation. Every insurance agent
in Keokuk has been notified Of
changes made by their company In
regard to policies to men OF foreign
birth and those who are likely to be
called to arms by their country. This
was done to protect the companies.
The state insurance department at
Des Moines has been notified OF a
special form Of inquiry which will
be used by companies while the war
is on. In addition to the regular
questions, an applicant must answer
the following:
Are you a member Of a military
organization or do You contemplate
entering military service, Or are you
subject to call by a foreign nation"

While excavating for the watermains
on South Broadway last week the work
men of the Haeberle crew ploughed up
an interesting find in the shape of human
skeleton. 1t was found only about
four feet below the surface and
while it was probably in fair state of
preservation before the earth was turned
up, the ploughs scattered it and broke up
great many of the bones which were
very brittle. In fact, so easily were they
crumbled that the fact that the skeleton
belonged to very ancient time was easily
apparent.

His full name was Francis Ferdinand

Sioux, Of Dakotahs as they called them
selves, were a tall tribe as compared with
the Chippewas who were short and heavy
1 The Sioux claimed all the territory thru
this neighborhood to the Mississippi on
the East and it is possible that the man
was one of the ancestors of the race that
occupied the land here when lie Sueur,
Radisson, Duluth, Hennepin and Carver
and other Frenchmen first found their
way thru this territory in the 18th and
early 18th century. It is more likely
however, that he belonged to the Lenapes,
or Delawares as they are called in the
East, who occupied the land before
! the Sioux came here from Iowa and the
other prairie states to the east and south
of Minnesota. According to Indian ira
dition, the Sioux had not been here a
great length of time before the whites
first arrived and the race who occupied
the valley Of the Minnesota before they
came were the Lenapes, tribe noted for
their great stature, there being tales
among the Indians of their giants.
Those who do not know, may be inter-
ested to learn that the bones of the In
dams which were found in the mounds at
Schell's were buried in New Ulm after
they were disinterred and at present
they rest in a grave behind the buildings
at St. Peters Episcopal Church. They
were placed there after it was decided
not to exhibit them at the 10th anniver-
sary celebration held in this city twelve
years ago. A few of the skulls were
taken to the High School and some to
the museum at Herman's Monument but
the others lie peacefully behind the little
church while the Sunday hymns of the
whites float out upon the summer air.
What is to be done with the new find is
as yet undecided but it would be good
opportunity to make a beginning for
museum here. The city has many other
relics which would make good sized
exhibit.
