HIGH PRICE FOR WHEAT.
Parties Want 81 OF for the Cereal-It
Is for the Sioux Indians.

Washington Sept 21.-Acting Score
tary Sims, of the interior department,
is considering the bid for wheat 70 be
furnished the Sioux Indians at Crow
Creek. He thinks he has positive proof
that low price for the cereal does not
exist The lowest bid was 81 OF per
bushel. 1t is wheat for milling Ddr-
poses and the grade required is ''No. l
spring" at 60 pounds to the bushel.
This is very high grade and in case
of partial failure of the crop might be
hard to obtain. This bid for wheat for
Indian supplies was before the depart
ment before and when returned the
last time was with tie statement thai
it was impossible to get a lower late.
Wheat is not needed for the Indians at
once. Secretary Sims says that more
than one dollar per bushel seems to be
a very high price to pay for wheat
right in the midst of the wheat grow
ing region.

SHOCKING CORRUPTION.

Milwaukee Sentinel Since the

tingS Mr. Golf has drawn out some
testimony which puts a few finishing
touches on the picture of corruption in
New York. One witness, the confiden-
tial clerk of a 2reen-gOodS Swindler,
testified that these SWindlCrS received
the protection of the detective bureau
and of two police captains; that they
got warning whenever a raid was to
be made by the police; that the police
aided them in frightening away vie
TINS who sought to recover their
money and drove rival SWindlerS out
of the business; that a sergeant in the
detective bureau had been for years
in the habit of accepting valuable
presents, such as lamps and gold
watches, from one of the swindlers.
Another witness, a contractor, teSti-
fed that when the street cleaning
