The News last Monday printed a story of how the man answering the description of the person who bought the pockotknlfo here , had been ar rested and then turned lose in Sioux City.

The efforts of twenty years past to secure pay ment of the claim which the Santee Sioux Indians hold against the gov ernment was advanced one point nearer success than ever before. One congressman after another In the 'llilrd district has struggled with this claim and libraries of briefs and argu ments have been written. A hard hearted congress has declined to take stock In the claim. The Santee Sioux were among the tribes that revolted In the "Minnesota massacre , " In 18G2 when many whites were slain and n reign of terror lasted for months When the Indians were at last sup pressed thirty-eight leaders were hanged from one scaffold , the tribe was banished and sent west , and the annuities that had been paid foi many years under treaty were declared forfeited. The South Dakota and MIn noeotn members of the tribe eventual ] y got their annuities re-adjusted ant restored but over a thousand Santeei nro In Nebraska and have never beer able to got this done. A bill referring the whole matter to the court o claims was today ordered reported bj the house Indian affairs committee The court will go Into the whole affair and render judgment whether the an nultles should bo restored , wha amount of the back payments shouh bo made , etc. The Indians might get nnywhen from small Individual annuities fo the future up to a million and a 1ml dollars In cash. The court of claims however , does not give a decree tha can bo enforced. Congress must appropriate propriato If It sees fit to carry on tne decision. In a case of this klm It generally doesn't see fit , and Judgi Boyd. who has worked hard on tin case , has hope that some of his sue cessors may bring the matter to set tlement In the next congress or two. Judge Boyd's bills to permit th drainage of the Logan valley Indiai lands at tribal expense In Thurstoi and Cumlng counties , have pnHRcd both houses , and arc now In the proBldcnt'H hands. Mr. Uoosuvelt linn been In formed In a general way of the merits of the proposals , and there IB "o doubt 01 his signature. Representative Klnkald experienced hard luck with hlx hill to reduce the Improvement requirement In the homestead laws , for proving up on the GIO acre homestead under the Klnkald act. The present hiw re quires ? l.lfi ! per acre. Judge Klnknld would reduce this to10 cents. The bill has been reported , and Mr. Klnkald finked unanimous coiiHont to call It up. Itoprcsontnllvo Mann of Illinois objected and the bill had to go over. If Mr. Mann will withdraw the ob jection It will pass later. As the official objector Mr. Mann's action probably signifies that the powers of I ho house tmvo not had op portunity to Inform themselves about the measure and wanted time to look It up. The performance handsomely Illustrates how eotnplotely the powers control legislation under the present rules. New Insurance Man In Town. C. L. Williams , representing the MidWest - West Life Insurance company of Lin coln , has arrived In Norfolk and will muko this his headquarters.
