THAT S24O,OOO
APPROPRIATION
House Committee Asks Where
the Money is to Go.

Tams Bixby, chairman of the Dawes
commission, will appear before the
house committee on Indian affairs by
special invitation to enlighten the
committee on the use of the S25O,000
added to the bill by the senate com
mittee for completing the work of the
Dawes commission, which goes out Of
existence July l.
Another amendment of the senate
committee provides for the payment
Of Sl80,0OO out Of the proceeds of the
sale of Usage Indian lands in Kansas
to the estate Of G. N. Vann and Will
liam P. Adair. This claim is described
as steal by members of the house
committee and by the Indians. The
latter have sent petition against the
paymentt to the president and congress.
The claim Is denounced as fictitious
and fabricated an infamous fraud of
the deepest dye.
Yann and Adair were Cherokee
Indians, who, it is alleged, were en-
ployed by the Usage council in 1878 to
defeat what is known as the Sturgis
treaty OF 1866. Some sort ofcontract,
the petition states, was filed in the
interior department in 1874, and was
approved for $4,000 and paid. The
petition states that Vann and Adair
were never employed by the Usage
council, as the Sturgis treaty was yir-
tually defeated before congress adj
journed in 1868. In 1869 it was with
drawn from the senate and legislation
enacted by congress for the sale Of the
Usage lands in Kansas at S1.25 per acre.
Vann and Adair had no share in
the defeat OF the treaty and made no
claim for services till five years later
when they demanded payment Of $3.50,
600. They received $50, 200, on what
the petition states was a fraudulent
order, and now their heirs demand the
remaining slsO,OO0. The petition sets
forth that the claim has been disal-
lowed by several secretaries Of the in
terror and by the court Of claims, and
half dozen times has been pronounced
fictitious.
The claim was inserted at the in
stance Of the senators from Washing
ton.

STATEHOOD BILL
MAY YET PASS
Senate COnferees Appointed
Today and Differences Be-
Iieved to be Adjusted
special 70 the Daily chlettaIn.

Special to the Daily Chieftain.
Washington, ID. c., Feb. 25-E Efforts
to harmonic difference Of statehood

of the senate were appointed.
The conferees are Beyerldge Bates
and Nelson. A compromise is believed
to have been effected permitting In
dian Territory and Oklahoma to come
in at the present session and compell-
ing the other territories to wait.
While Senator Morgan kept up his
opposition to the bill it was under
stood to mean that the house con-

the elimination OF New Mexico and
Arizona, but when Morgan yielded to-
day it is taken to indicate an agree

CHINESE WATER cHEsTNUTs
Raised in Immense Quantities in
Natural Water Ways Of
the Empire.

Where there are so many canals there
is more or less swamp ground. In China
this is utilized for the raising of lotus
roots, from which commercial arrowroot
is largely obtained, says a writer. There
is no reason why much of the waste
swamp land In the southern portion Of
the United States should not be used for
similar purpose and the commercial
returns from a venture of this sort in
that part of the country ought to be sat
isfactory. Where the canals Of China
widen, by reason Of natural water ways
or for other reasons, the expanse OF wa
ter not needed for actual navigation is
made use Of in the raising of water nuts
of several varieties, especially what are
known as water chestnuts. These nuts
are raised in immense quantities. They
are, strictly speaking, bulbs rather than
nuts. They are rich in arrowroot and
are prolific, an acre of shallow water pro
ducing far more than an acre of well cul-
tivated soil planted in ordinary grain or
similar crops. These nuts, also, could be
produced to advantage in the United
States, where there is land inundated for
the growing season to a depth which will
give ordinary water plants chance to
thrive and which is not capable Of being
drained for the time being. The nuts or
bulbs are toothsome when roasted, and
are wholesome. but probably would be
more valuable in the United tates for
the manufactured products which can
ha aaonrad from them

The attention Of one Of the Chief
tain's reporters was this morning called
to the abuse Of horses used to deliver
goods about the city. Several stores
employ small boys to deliver for them,
and in many instances these boys use
no Judgment in handling horses. In
most cases the boy driver gets two or
three companions in the wagon with
him and then applies the whip to the
horse, compelling him to go at q rapid
gait through the mud. Something
should be done to prevent this unnec-
essary cruelty.

Answers
TO Correspondents

AUNTIE.-Thats right blame 1t all on to
Griswold because he shows an at iractive
stock OF Spring Goods little ahead OF the
season Bnt we prefer to be In advance OF
the times, rather than behind, like an old
cows tail. Bennington boys have q habit of
ford 10 give camp chair with one cents
worth OF marbles, so you had better put
your little nephew In a showcase where he
will keep dry.
NAOMI;It would be eminently proper for
you to read Prayer Book every day fOr five
weeks. Lent is considered about the best
time OF the yearsto be good GriswOld has
nice line of Prayer loks and Bibles.
FOND MOTHER We suggest either Har-
ward or Yale for your two.year-old Willie.
But In the meantime he should lake prepar-
atory course. Griswold has Painting, Draw
ing and all kinds OF Juvenile Books.
MUSIC LOvER.-Yes. 1000 Talking Machine
Records Is good many for country town,
but we have nearly that number in stock at
the,present time and are constantly adding
new ones as fast as issued. II any of your
friends are thinking of buying a machine,
crop us card or come in and see us about
1t, and we win call at their house some night
with samples OF machines and give them o
concert free OF charge.
BUYER.-Why don't you read Griswold's ad'
vertisements? What do you take the Ban
ner" for anyway? We have repeatedly
mentioned the fact that Griswold represents
one OF the largest rubber stamp maDufactur-
ers In his u. s., and we are glad II you got
''stuck' In buying an inferior article from
some party unknown to you. You depend
upon home people for your llvlng why don't
you trade at home yourself? Griswold has
everything the business man needs in the
way OF ONCE supplies at prices and quality
that are tight.

MRS. STANFORD WAS MURDERED
Honolulu Police Assert That Guilty
Persons Are In San Francisco.


HONOLULU, March S.-The police
here are Of the opinion that if Mrs.
Jane Lathrop Stanford was murdered
the guilty persons are in San Fran
cisco. High Sheriff Henry has ex-
pressed this view.
1t is pointed out that the opinion of
the physicians taken in connection
with the result of the chemical analy-
sis as given in evidence at the inquest
indicates that to bring about fatal
result Mrs. Stanford would have to
have been given one of the capsules,
which it has been admitted contained
small quantity of strychnine, and a
dose OF bicarbonate of soda at the
same time and that both would be re-
quired to bring together enough strych-
nine to be fatal.
According to the estimates Of the
chemists, the strychnine in the dose
of bicarbonate of soda and the capsule
combined was only one-twelfth of a
grain, unless the strychnine was all at
tne Top Oh the DOttle anu was tdken
when Miss Berner poured out the dose
of soda Mrs. Stanford's failure to
comment on the bitter taste of the
medicine is, however, held as disprov-
ing this theory. The physicians say
that onetwelfth Of grain of strych-
nine might possibly be fatal to per.
son of Mrs. Stanford's age.
Deputy High Sheriff Rawlins, who
will accompany the remains to San
Francisco, will take the trip for the
purpose of consulting the police of that
city.
