...Sanders Theatre last evening to attend the meeting of the Indian Rights Association. The Rev. Mr. Lougfellow called the meeting to order and read the statement of the association. Its aim is to investigate the home life of the Indians on the reservation. The most important things accomplished so far have been the passing of the Dawes bill and the defeat of the Sioux reservation bill. The association publishes an annual statement which will be sent to any one on receipt of postage...
