STAMBOCI t. Oct. U-Roosevelt
ramp at the Mont'-jello crossing of the
Bayou Tensas haa . .d Into history. The
president left the p'ace at o'clock thli
morning, and when he turned hla back on
the camp It wul with & determination not
to return. He headed towarda Bear lake,
whj-ac. on Sunday he will remove to
another camp, which will be pitched near
Newellton In Tensas parish', on a branch
of "tha 'Iron Mountain railroad.' The dp--clalon
to change camp was arrived at yes
terday, and tr. Parker was dispatched to
Btambmil to make arrangement for a train
from that point to Newellton, and B. Jack
ton, one of the colored near hunters, wa
sent' In with instructlona to proceed to
Newellton and select a proper place for
th new encampment. The change of loca
tion .was decided upon not only because
no bear had been killed, but because the
president . and hie frienda became con
vinced that there were none, or practically
nop, on tha tipper Tensas. They have
throahed the wood covering the entire
couojlry around the Montlcello crossing and
ft la. still a matter of doubt whether any
frtysji sign ef the presence of the bruin
family has been discovered.
Few Old Tracks Foaad.
Some old tracks have been found, and
Ben Uley. has discovered whnt lie believes
to ' be a few tracks of more recent ap
pearance, but these are so rare and so far
apart that they do not Justify remaining
In jthat vicinity. No member of the party
haa ( Secured ithe remotest , glimpse of a
bear, nor have any of the dogs, with which
they -are supplied, struck, at any time, a
well defined beer track. So uncertain, In
deed, are the reports that Mr.. Parker em
phatically expresses the opinion that there
ar no bears where the hunt haa hereto
fore ..been conducted.
Th president accepta the situation philo
sophically, saying- that the present is not
tht)only search for name that ever came
to .naught. He pointed put that If other
giur.a than bear had been desired It could
easily have been secured.
-in Fromlae of Blar Came.
Tire reports from Newellton tonight are
encfeiragtng. 'Ever since the president ar
nved In this section he has been receiving
lettfrs telling him that there were plenty
of bear within a few miles of that town,
and when Mr. Parker came Into the railroad
Ititlmi today ho secured confirmation of
theafr" statements over the long distance
telephone. Tho failure of the present hunt
causes him to regard these promises with
oiiis degree of annoyance, but he, and th
president as well,, have decided that the
jnly way to sottle Hie matter definitely Is to
mako personal Investigation. ,
Tbf new camp will be on Bayou Tenaita,
as,. was the other, but forty miles south
of.Uie. present site, and It will be twelve
miles Inland from the railroad.

Right on the very spot t Long Hollow,
on the Sisseton reservation wuere a few
weeks ago was held the great annual con
vention of ChrisMan Sioux Indians of the
Presbyterian and Congregational churches,
the fierce Sioux a generation or two ago
were in the hnblt r.f coming together, their
faces and bodies pslrted In the most lurid
and Incongruous colors, their bodies
stripped, grotesque or hideous In appear
ance. At the word of some old medicine man
they assembled and began dancing to the
accompaniment of rattles or drums. For
usually two or three days they would
wrltho backward and form-ard. In and out.
In the sinuous, untiring movements of the
horrible sun dance. During all this time
they took neither food nor drink, and now
and then one of he Indians fell to the
ground, exhausted from exertion and hun
ger; and on '.he laat .night' of the sacreJ
ceremonial the braver of the dancers
slipped knives under the sinews of their
breasts, passed ropes - through the quiver
ing muscles and by these suspended them
selves or tied themselves to a pole, about
which they danced In their own blood.
But here In the year 1907 there came to
gether 2,000 men, women and children from
all the nine tribes of the Sioux nation, some
of them distances of hundreds of miles, nnd
all attired in neat blankets or In the elothes
of white men and women." No gaudy paint
disfigured their 'aces nnJ no bristling
feathera ridged their ba:ks. Quietly, with
Impressive solemnity, they inado their way
to a spaelally constructed au'lttorium on
the edge of a pretty grove. 'Vhen all the
assembled had gathered the:' stood for
some moments, il.;ntly awaiting a signal.
Suddenly at a sign there rose from 2,000
throats, in the minor, giitt',-.rt.l voice of the.
redskin, a song that began with these
words
The DoxologT.
Praise God, from whom all blessings
flow."
Thus have the Bloux Indiana gone all the
way from the sun dance to the Gospel
hymn.
Following the. "napeklclyuiapl" ((greet
ings) there were addresses, mission meet
ings, discussions, business meetings,
women's, and aociety gatherings, all in the
native Indian language.
Most Interesting of all to the Indians
were the "taKU tona lwogiaaap-. me
(topics for discussion), for in these the red
skins themselves took part enthusiastically.
Following were the questions in this year's
discussion:
'Are the Dakotas the wotse off from
contact with the white men?"
How may our Dakota people keep pace
with the white people in education, prop
erty, publlo affairs and religion?"
Which is of greater Importance, earthly
possessions or human life?"
"Will not blacksliders be punished?"
"What does the Bible teach?"
"How can wo train our church members
in what pertains to the church in worship,
in benevolence and church support and in
Christian work?"
How to bring up young women that
they may live uprightly."
"Systematic benevolence."
At this meeting,' too, came up the newly
proposed constitution for the Dakota con
ference creating a regular society to gov
ern and prepare for these annual convo
cations, to which the Indians Journey
faithfully, often with great sacrifice to
themselves.
All have heard that the Sioux Indian Is
gradually becoming civilized; that the gov
eminent has succeeded in abolishing the
Inhuman sun dance; that the civil authori
ties are bringing order out t the social
chaos in which parents knew not children
and children knew not parents; that many
of the Indians are even cut oft from gov
ernment rations part of the year and sup
port themselves and families by working
on railroads or publlo roads or In harvest
fields. BOt few there are who know that
the very 'sioux Indians who almost within
th decade were breathing massacre are
now practically a Christian nation, and
that it is because of this that the govern
ment haa been able so quickly to Induce
them to lay down the tomahawk and tha
arrow and turn to the pick and the plow.
It Is not the statistics that tell the most
eloquent story of the remarkable trans
formation that haa been wrought among
the fierce Sioux. However, the figures are
surprising enough, for of the 80,000 Sioux
Indians In Nebraska and the Dakotas al-
moat 16,000 are communicants of Christian
churches and some 7.000 more haVa been
baptised in the church.

Scenes In the Camp.
Arrived at the camp where the convoca
tion Is to be held, the Indians are housed
in tents. Some of these have been brought
along, the wigwams of the plains, while
others, the modern squared tents, are pro
vided by the churches. Around the meet
ing place in a circle, usually about three
miles In circumference, are ranged the
shining teepees. To ono stumbling upon
one of these camps at nightfall the scene
seems like that of a band of warrior
camped on the eve of battle. Proles strain
at their pickets in the rich grass, children
dart in and out from the wigwams and
stiff-backed sentries pace back and forth.
Usually a large booth is erected for the
meetings, boughs of trees being cut and
placed over rafters to obtain protection
from sun and rain. Native Indian clergy
men hurry about with white ministers, di
recting the work of the assembly. Hymns
have been rewritten in the Sioux tongue,
and with these familiar tunes, sung In
the peculiar voice of the Indian, every con
vocation is opened.
Native Indian music may best be de
scribed as chromatic and can be expressed
only by the violin or especially built flutes.
The general effect is minor, but at times
major motifs of great beauty spring forth
from monotonous levels. There is much
slurring and accaslonally repetition, while
at times the usual monotony Is broken by
strong staccato movements. This is as
the Indian aang In the wild days of the
up god and to the Qreat Father, but is
fairly descriptive of the odd combinattor,
of native Indian voices and household
Christian hymns.
That the India: !s an orator by hlrtl
has already been attested many times In
treaty councils with Indian chiefs. Thai,
with civilization the red man has not tos.
the' power of debate Is apparent to all
who listen to the proceedings of these an
nual convocations. These gatherings ar
not chautauquas, to head a series of ad
dresses by famed speakers and then ad
journ. Rather, they, are conferences for
'IbcUHHion by oil in attendance of ques
tions both religious and practical relat
ing to the dally life on the reservations.
Serious Aspect of Indians.
A commanding dignity haa always char
acterized the oratory of the native Indian.
While one spoke with deliberate loftiness
In tribal councils the others sat about,,
glum and silent, indicating by no sound or
motion either approval or disapproval. But
even In this the Christian Siotix Indians
are unlike the generation that went before
them. Whereas formerly Indian audiences
were invariably stolid, unresponsive, al
most indifferent, now in the annual convo
cations discussions are deoldedly animated.
The Indians throng the council chambers,
fill the entranceways and listen Intently.
If they are Episcopalians they know their
ritual so well that they repeat It without
even looking at their books. Meet even
the Christian Sioux at any other time and
he will greet you gruffly; he will not shake
your hand; he will answer in grunts or a
few words, but see him In the public meet-
opposing, gesticulating, laughing and cry
ing, quite unlike himself.
The devotion of Indluns once converted
is told plainly enough by the treasures of
Indian churches. In the Congregational
and Presbyterian churches, for example,
the Sioux Indians, since 1876, contributed
to the support of missions a total of
$36,396.07. Of this $21,fil9.52 came from the
women's socitks. Women who are com
pelled to live In poverty throughout the
year because of the failure of the govern
ment to provide work for the men, sell
their beads, baskets and shawls, not for
food or clothing, but for church contribu
tions, denying themselves necessities. It
Is stated that every woman communicant
in these churches has averaged tl annually
for the church since the missions started.

given for missions among the Chinese,
