HORN BEAR
AT INDIAN BUREAU
ASKING ANNUITIES
Demands $4,000 Copies Of
His Picture on So Ger
tiicates.

washington, Feb.t4.-An Indian who
looks like real ready money has come
10 town. His name is Hollow Horn
Bear, and he is the chief orator OF the
Rosebud Sioux tribe OF South Dakota.
Hollow Horn Bear is reputed to be
the handsomest and most typical In
dian in the country, and that's why he
looks like ready money. His picture
adorns the IS silver certificate. 1t was
put there because the connoisseurs In
Indian Deatuy regarded him as the
finest Indian nov extant.
Hollow Horn Bear is SO years old
and as straight as an Indian ought to
be. He hasn't a gray hair in his head
ana there is enough hair to make a
mattress. In addition to being beauti-
white mans game as he calls the
art of conversation In truth, he has
most white men dashed securely to the
bowsprit and the ship sinking head on,
when 1t comes to the art of talk. He
comes every once in a while to talk q
few hundred thousand out OF the
stony-hearted bureau OF Indian affairs.
what he want on the present
trip.
A Fortune Delayed.
The bureau has been holding out on
his tribe some 5000, 1000 OF money which
the tribe thinks ought to be distributed
to minor children. It represents part
payment for the lands of the Rosebud
reservation, the department maintain
ing that it would be a waste OF the
money to turn over their shares to the
minor children. The law, however,
provides for the distribution, and the
Indians want the cash. Hollow Horn
Bear hopes to AXE home about $4,000
copies of his picture on the IS certih-
Gates.
Along with Hollow Horn Bear is a
delegation OF Sioux, one OF whom is
Chief Good Voice. Oddly enough, Good
Voice is no orator at all; he grunts oc-
~casionally, but Hollow Horn Bea does
the talking. Reuben Quick Bear, High
Pipe, John Colombo, Eagle Horse and
Stranger Horse are the others Of the
delegation.
Colombo is a thrifty aborigine. He
owns more land than he can tell about.
The government gave him GAO acres,
his wife 800, and each child 100 acres,
and Colombo has never got far
enough in mathematics to be able
to figure all he holds in the family. He
lives on a 20-acre piece at the corner
OF his estate, and rents the rest to
white men. White man works for
me-" he says disdainfully as he cranks
up the carburetter OF his auto; for he
owns and drives a machine.

ARE DISMISSED
Two United States Officials
Given Walking Papers
by Judge Garland.

Sioux Falls. S. D., Feb. 5.-The dis
charge of two United States commits
sioners OF South Dakota for alleged fr-
Irregularities In Office marred the routine
of the federal court work of fling petit
lions in bankruptcy and d~ischarging
such cases. Judge Garland issued
walking papers to Charles Nash, of
Marietta, and Davis p. Thomas, Of
Wasta, on behalf OF Uncle Sam.
Tersely stated, the Judgment by
Judge Garland gave no intimation OF
the charges against the men, and there
fore no reason for their dismissal. 1t
is understood, however, that the ir-
Irregularities alleged came of numerous
complaints filed by ho~mesteaders, who
paid their fees In to the commissions
ers. and that they were receipted
through the land Office for final proofs.
Excessive fees Is another point

FOR EQUAL SUFFRAGE
THE SECOND TIME

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 3.-The house re-
peated the performance OF two years

ure practically without opposition, the

vote of 81 for the amendment and 81
against The house passed the capitol
completion appropriation bill. T.
The vote in the senate was SO close
on the bill to accept Andrew Carnegie's
donation OF 100000 for a library at the
university, that Hawkins changed his
vote from aye to nay so that he might
o a reconsideration. His change
tied the vote, but the presiding Of
ficer permitted him to change back

Four railroad measures passed the
senate as follows: To require railroad
companies to report to railroad COM

CHICAGO CAN'T MAKE
THAT SMOKE BEHAVE

Chicago, Feb. 5.--Despite it's $40, 600
a year smoke inspection department.
Chicago continues as smoky as ever
with an annual damage by SCOT to mer-
camille stocks of $5e,0 100000 and to
household furnishings estimated at
800, 0O0, 900. Smoke Inspector Bird re-
Gently admitted publicly that no pro-
gress has been made. The blame is put
upon the "smokeless furnace" which
is found, 1t is said, to increase fuel con-
sumption rs much as so per cent. The
smoke inspectors have accepted and
ven recommended these special fur
naces that will help their record as to
the number of smoking chimneys, but
the increase of coal bills has caused
bad blood between those who installed
the "smokeless' furnaces and the
smoke inspectors.

cent passenger fare bill went promptly
from the enrolling force to the COVER
nor, received his signature and was
fled with the secretary of state as n
OF the effective laws of the state, 1t
is not in effect.
Anticipating legal action on the part
OF the railroad companies to prevent
the operation of the law, the attorney
general late yesterday afternoon SEE
cured from the supreme court an al
tentative writ Of mandamus alleging
violations of the law on the part of
agents OF the Northwestern road in
Pierre and Fort Pierre, and the writs
were served upon them a few minutes
after the law was declared to he in
effect. The writs are for the prpose of
commanding the agents to comply with
the new law or come into the supreme
court on March 3 and show cause why,
they have not done so.
While this was being done, the rail-
road companies attorneys for the rail-
ROAD companies were able to secure
through Judge Carlan of the United
States court It Sioux Falls a restrain
ing order and an order to show cause,
.~returnable March i. The attorney gen
eral, the railroad commissioners and
all states attorneys in counties where
the companies lines run are made de-
PENDANTS under the restraining order
