A Chester special in the Philadelphia
Ledger says: The farmers of Delaware

tinuous and heavy rains, and the loss
is estimated at over 800, 600. Some
farmers whose crops ripened early sue
ceeded in housing them, bur hundreds
of other farmers have lost all. In a
number Of instances the crops were cut
before they had fully ripened as storm
appeared to lie brewing, and it was
hoped they would mature on the ground,
but the rain caused the wheat and oats
TO sprout on the ground, and, OF course,
ruined the crops. Such a calamity il

hours. Many vessels have been strand,

A TERRITORY SENSATION
FRAUD PERFORATED IN CONNEo-
r,oN WITH THE PAYMENT OF
THE CREEK INDIANS.
THE AMOUNT INVOLVED IS 500 900
worthless Warrants Were Issued.
An Old Creek Grief Is Among
Those Implicated-One of the
Parties Has Confessed.

|
Washington, Oct. 25.-Ninety thous-
and dollars of alleged fraudulent war
rants on the United States treasury on
account of Greek Indian nation in the
Indian Territory have been discovered
by the government authorities. The al
legged fraud was perpetrated in connec-
ton with the payment of the Creek
Indian nation debts, and only the barest
details have reached here. Congress,
by recent enactment, authorized the
| liquidation of indebtedness of the
| Creek nation, amounting to $685., 900,
| incurred by the Indians for various pur-
| poses. The amount appropriated was
to be paid out Of the United States treas
ury and deducted from the large amount
of funds of that tribe now in the treas
ury for their benefit. The work of pay
ing off was begun months ago, but when
the last warrants were presented it was
found that the amount paid, instead of
being $333, 900. as authorized, had reach
ed $425 900. Special Agent w. Z. Sew
erly of Missouri, formerly confidential
agent for Secretary Francis, together
with Special Agent Ross, were imme-
\ diately dispatched to make an investi-
cation of the discrepancy. Mr.. Severly
LETT here on october 4. since then the
two have been working on the case, and
\ official advices from them now show
| that over $4,000 worth of the war
rants were fraudulent. Supplementing
this is the fact that one of those i'm
plicated made confession today. 1t
found that many old warrants to which
no consideration had ever attached had
been revived and paid under the process
of tribal approval, and that many war
rants had been issued and paid in the
place of old ones on which full payment
had already been made.
The matter promises to prove great
sensation in the territory. The facts
have been reported to the department of
justice, and the case is now in the hands
of the United States district attorney
there for prosecution. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Severity is now on his way to
Washington to lay the complete facts
brought out in his investigation before
the interior authorities. While little is
yet known. there is enough to indicate
the responsible parties. 1t is said that
an old chief of the Creeks and an old
employe of that tribe are among those
involved

4 Syndicate to Purchase KIOndiLxe

Late advices from London confirm rn-
mors that have heretofore reached this
side of the Atlantic that a financially
powerful syndicate is in process of forma-
ton in England, France and Germany
to buy all the paying claims of miners in
the Klondike region. OF course this will
lead to vast amount of speculative val
uation, but there is claim in the Klon-
dixie, as elsewhere. which it is impossible
to underestimate. and that is the claim
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to the
foremost place among American remedies
for liver complaint. The bilious and con,
stipated derive prompt relief from this
genial Alternative. which remedies nausea
