The Creeks an:! Their Lands
licturns meived at the Oflice of
Indian A Hairs indicate that the bal
lot taken the other day among the
(.'reeks resulted in a majority of
from o(H) to lor ratifying the
agreement made with the Dawes
Commission to allot thetrilml lands
in severalty. The Choctaws and the
Chickasaws accepted provisions tor
the same purpoe some time ago,
and the Seminolcs are "practically
one nation" with the Creeks, as A-
gent Wisnoy expressed it, so that afford her better opportunity to es
' now tiie Chcrokecs arc alone among I papo the relentless pursuit of her
the five civilized tribes in opposing
thc new movement. Even they are
subject to the mandatory provisions
of the recent Curtis act ; but a wp
ular vote for severalty 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
haslecn accomplished by its year's
work. The old system of Indian
laws and courts in the Indian Ter
ritory has given way, with n few
minor excejdions, to "laws corres
ponding to those of Arkansas" on
the same subjects, with the United I
States courts and officers to enforce!
them. Provision has Ikiii made for j
the allotment ot tribal lands among
the c.t.ze.is, and, except among the ,
Chen.ktrs, on terms agreed to by
popular vote, so that "tlic many
thoiisinds of white residents in the
towns unable heretofore to obtain I
title to the land on which they have'
built their homes, and sometimes ex- ;
pensive biisines- houses, can now
ur-lia-e at a fair appraisd these;
land-." Finally, the rights which'
residents in other Territories have I
a iv extended to the Indian citizens '
of the- Indian Territory and in some
deirrie to the hitc residents.
There i much still to Is- done.;
The it!i-tion of the white intruders
reniains to be sUtk-d jiraetieally, j
and the nubilities (,1 making up
freemen rolls for the trilics arc great;
but the vote of the Creeks is all en
couraging step forward.

A romnntic ami thrilling interest

Camp Mende, where more tlian 25,

in Austria. Her beauty attracted
inanv suitors, some of whom were
aliove her station in life. She had
lieen riven a liberal education at a
convent and Mas quite skilled in the
use of a needle. One ot her suitors
vas Carl Androste, an under cham
licrlain of Kmperor Josef.
Atter a year's courtship the mil
ler's daughter was married to An
droste, and for a while they lived
happily together. Carl was of a
jealous disposition and aftct thebirth
of their first child; a beautiful loy,
he falsely accused his bride. A duel
followwl' and Androste killed his
siiseetcd rival. Frightened by the
threats of her jealous hiisliand the
woman left her halio locked in a room
and fled for Vienna. The husband,
more frenzied than ever, made a sol-

young wife. He disposed of his
property and started in search ot her.
For eighteen years he traveled up
and down Kurope, with murder in
his heart, and with no thought, save
the destruction of the woman who
was the mother of his child.
FI.KDTO THE KNITKI) KTATKS.
The hunted wife hurried from
post to pillar as the chase liecametoo
warm, and managed to elude her
husband whenever capture seemed
imminent. She came to the United
States, thinking this country would

Death, however, was a passenger on
the same ship with him. lie was
strickeu with fever while on the
ocean, and died as tlic vessel entered
the New York harltor. As he was

of hate called his son, Sigismund to
his side. The Imiv was now a hand

he would continue the search for his
mother and execute his murderous
design.

while in Miamokiu lie learned mat
his mother was living in Danville,
this state. She had taken her maiden
mime and was earning a livelihood
making line laces and Uautiful em
broidery. Sigismund went to Dan
ville and called on his mother, now
a handsome matron of lJ. lie told
her that he was her son, and that he
had come to kill her for the alleged
wrong she had done his father. This
ahirmed her, and she professed not
to know him, even after hcprodiieed
documentary and other evidences ot
his kinship. She told him he was
mistaken; that she had never liceii
! married, and knewnotliing nlmtitthc
youth or his lather, through all
this the love in the mother's breast
was struggling for expression. She
I could hardly refrain from throwing
her arms around the handsome and
ma:.lv young man. 15ut the instinct
of self-preservation was stronger than
the maternal love.

victim,
1 but instead a devoted, loving son.
I All li letters met with no response
from Jits inotJifr. ' She waa fearful
that the letter and the money were
part of a ruse to rashly aceomplwh
her death.
After a time the letters ceased to
come, and all the mother love took
ncwii'ssion ot the woman who had
I
been cruelly persecuted 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 a few days before been
stricken with typhoid fever and was
in a critical state in the Second Di
vision llosoital. She went there
with a heavy heart and found
her lioy covered with ice to reduce
the frightful temperature. 1 hesur
geons and soldiers and nurses were
doing their utmost to save the sol
dier who while tcssing in his de
lirium would cry out, "I won't kill
you, mother !" "I won't kill you I "
Watching by her stricken loy, 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 Y hit-
tuigton, the kind-hearted executive
olfieer in charge of the hospital,
promised to give the patient his twr-
sonal attention. Sigismund lingered
on the brink of death for seven days.
His strong constitution finally con
quered 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 lov
ers. " iMgisinnnd will nereaitermaKe

camp is all the more interesting lie
cause it is absolutely true in every
detail.
