To the Editor OF The Bee:
SIR:-Frank j. Davenport, bette I

Ssntee Frank, and who was an i'm

agents on the Missouri river agencies,
and interpreter to Major @. Crlssey at
Sisseton agency, was arrested
m Council Bluff, as a deser.

Ames, and Is now in Fort Omaha
awaiting trial.
Santee Frank and K. Fl. Allison,

the writing very hastily and c~arelessly

1t was handed to the police Of our
city with rcq1est to give to the edisor
of the Council Blufa BEE. Perhaps
it may DO the device of some deaerteI
to raise friends In bis favor. But
whatever be the truth in the matter,
it will certainly stand a little more

Indian agency steals have become
almost rs frequent as those In con

The Yankton county rcfunding act hes
passed both houses Of the legislature and
there is certainty that it will be made
complete by the signature of the COVER
nor. Itprovides for the issue Of ten
thirty bonds at four per cent interest for
the first ten years and four and one-half
per cent after ten years. The bonds can
be paid at the end Of ten years if the
county desires to pay them at that time.
This provision in the act will
enable the county to take advantage of
an opportunity to secure still lower
rate Of interest at that time. If it is
practicable to procure the use of money
at reduced per centage new refund.
ing act can be passed. new bonds issued
and sold and the four and one.half per
cent bonds taken up. The matter is
therefore in excellent shape and the
prospect for an easy settlement OF
this much vexed question will
lift a load of anxiety from
the minds of the people. There yet re.
mains one more step to be taken in the
premises The bonding act must be sub.
mitted to the people for their ratifca-
ton. This we are confident will be &C.
complished with scarcely any opposition,
Public sentiment is largely on the side OF
settlement of the debt. Were it other.
wise the folly of opposing the
measure becomes apparant in
view of the fact that if the
four per cent. bond is not ratified, the
taxpayers of Yankton county must pay
the interest due and accruing on the
present eight per cent.bonds. A failure to
ratlfy the act of the legislature would re-
suit in the collection of over $3.50, 600 in.
terest due and the regular payment OF
the eight per cent. coupons as they be
come due. The bill as it stands has
been agreed to IN all its details by {
large majority of the bendhoiders, 8
stipulation to that effect having beer
made in writing and placed in the hand
of the governor. We feel like congratu
lating the people of Yankton county on
this deliverance out of their troubles
The effect of the settlement will be per.
ceptible as soon as it is accomplished
Property will possess a more stable
yalue, confidence will be restored, the
stigma of repudiation will be removed
and we Gun once more look the world ir
the eye without feeling that there is
cloud upon our integrity.

line in the territory at Iroquois, d. t.
a distance of about 375 m1les-as per.
haps the most important enterprise
which the coming season will see com
pleted and in which all Dakota is intim.
ately interested.
The new line, as may be observed BY o
glance ct the map, will proceed due west
from Chicago, passing to the south of
both Wisconsin and Minnesota, and
avoiding entirely the barriers Of the
blockade above. It is Of the utmost
consequence to the people of Dakota,
who should reflect upon the fact that
had it not been for the frlendliness of
the law.making power, the construction
OF their road would not-could not--have
been undertaken so soon by several
years, if indeed at all.
Here stands Yankton, y prospective
point of rare commercial promise, watt
ing to be taken up by the railroads,
and with reasonable expectation OF
being started anew in life now very
shortly. Who doubts that it is to the
common interest of all sections of Dako.
to to see founded and built upon this
site commercial metropolis and manu-.
featuring center? Were the present
laws to be changed, however, Yankton
would remain village. and Daketa be
without a large city, and at standstill
in every way and everywhere for years
to come.
Upon the whole, think it will be
agreed among Dakotians themselves al
least, that the present railroad law ia moi
only theoretically just but practically
satisfactory and successful statute.
