WANTS INDIANS TO VOTE.
Captain Allison, of South Dakota, to
Give Political Instruction
to the Sioux.
J>uring the next four months the
Sioux Indians on the reservations in
South Dakota are to receive their first
instructions in civics if Capt. E. II. Al
lison has his way about it. Capt. Al
lison is a member of the Uncpaphah
tribe of Sioux Indians, having been
adopted by that tribe in I860, and lie
married the Sioux princess, Sinawin,
daughter of Sacred Bear, who was foT
years head chief of the tribe.
Capt. Allison, says a special dis
patch to the Chicago Inter Ocean,
has lived among the Sioux Indians
nearly all lys life, and he speaks the
Indian language as fluently us he
speaks the English. He was chief of
the scouts for Gen. Sheridan for sev
eral years, and was chief scout and
interpreter tor uen. utis in tne west
ern country for 10 or 15 years.
It vvas he who, after the Custer
massacre on the Little Big Horn, went
to Canada to induce Sitting Bull and
his band, who had fled thither, to re
turn to the United States; and he
was in charge of the command which
took Sitting Bull to Fort Randall.
“Few of the Sioux Indians have ever
participated in a presidential cam
paign,” said Capt. Allison recently.
“In fact, but few of them can be said
to have a political opinion. It Is my
purpose to go out on all the yeserva
tiQns west of the Missouri aud hold
meetings wherever a dozen or more
Indians can be gathered together.
This work will take three or four
months. I shall give them elementary
lessons in civic duties, and shall try
to show them what it means for them
to be citizens of the United States
I shall explain why it is necessary to
have elections, polling places, and laws
governing such things. I shall have
blank ballots and conduct mock elec
tions in order to give these new cit
izens of ours a concrete idea of eleo
tion methods.”
BODIES PETRIFY IN GRAVES.
Cemetery Located at Ely, Minn.,
Turns All Remains Interred
Into Stone.
The old cemetery at Ely, Minn., is
a bed of petrifactions, many of the
bodies buried there having turned to
stone. The discovery was made the
other day when the work of trans
ferring the bodies to the new ceme
tery vvas begun. The first graves
opened were those of Henry Polking
horn and Adam Penglase who died
ten years ago, and when the work
men undertook to lift the eoltins out
of the graves they were uuable to
move them.
When the lids were raised it was
found that the bodies had turned to
stone. The flesh tints still remained
and the clothing looked as bright and
fresh as it did the day of the funeral
until exposed to the air, when it
crumbled to pieces. Set heavy were
the bodies that it took the com
bined strength of five men to remove
them.
