MANY DUPEs IN THIS CITY.
Mrs. COrsOn, IA Widow, Was Robbed
of $4,000.

The gigantic Dean swindle numbered
many dupcs in Indianapolis and elsewhere
in the State, and included some people of
business experience. In working up the evil

Mrs. Sarah T.. Corson, of Jefferson avenue
Indianapolis was one of the unfortunates
who fell into the tolls of Mrs NJ. l.. Massey

old, and by dint OF hard work, extending
over period of years. had saved up the
sum Of $1,000 from the profits Of boarding
house she ran after the death of her hus-
band. The 5000, on the representation of
Mrs. Massey that it would be multiplied
ten-fold If invested in the Special Wheat
Combination No. g." was transferred 81 500

and $780, the amount Of commissions, into
Mrs Massey's bank account Special

operation, and its entire proceeds were ap-
propriated by the swindlers.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-There is the
fiercest kind of strife going on in the GUS

that is to be made against kissing. The
crusade is to be against the indiscriminate

come back from Europe have from two to a
dozen or more friends on the pier to meet
them when they come in, and their friends.

thousand or three thousand persons. Each
friend wants to kiss and hug the newly
arrived exile, and as every hug and every
kiss takes up minute or more at least il
is usually an hour or more before the kiss

is this the case when a pretty girl comes
home, or when an actress, returning to the
city, Is met by all her former husbands

ELGER'S RELIEF WORK
PLANS OF THE SECRETARY TO SEND
PROVISIONS TO DAWSON.
Pack Trains of Horses to he Started
ON the Trail Before Arrival of
the LapIand Reindeer.

WASHINGTON, Dec. A-The prelimina-
ries of the Klondike relief expedition are
being rapidly arranged by the War Depart
ment. Lieutenant Devore and DR.. Jackson
were busy this morning making final prep
arations for their trip to Lapland and will
start for New York tonight in order to
sail on the Lucania tomorrow morning
Secretary Alger has cabled to Mr.. Kjelmann
at Alten, Norway, to contract for 800 head
of reindeer in advance of the arrival there
of DR.. Jackson and Lieutenant Devore. This
was done to save time so that all will be
ready for the final purchases and the ship
ment of the animals when DR.. Jackson ar
rives at Alten. Lieutenants Preston and
Ryan, of the Ninth Cavalry, have been or
dered to take charge of the pack trains,
which are to be gathered up from points in
Wyoming, and convey them to Vancouver
barracks. Secretary Alger believes these
trains will be of great use in getting sup
plies through to the interior Of Alaska They
will be pushed forward as rapidly as possi-
BILE, and without waiting for the arrival of
the reindeer at Skaguay or Dyea. 1t is
hoped that by proper use of the trains
a large amount of food supplies can be got
safely through White pass and placed in a
camp to be established there which will
afterwards be used as the starting place for
the reindeer trains. If this calculation
proves to be well founded, the reindeer will
find q comfortable corral ready for them
when they arrive in Alaska and so can be
used to great advantage
There is disposition just now on the part
of the officials who are arranging the plans
for the expedition to abandon the Dalton
trail route and instead, to take the Lin1e-
the frozen river for a large part of the way,
but this is believed to be feasible.
Captain Brainard, who is now in Chicago,
has been telegraphed to remain at
that place until advised of the
results of the. departments efforts to
get food supplies through public ad-
vertisement. The Subsistence Department
is now preparing a schedule of what is
wanted and this will be put in the form of
an advertisement ana responses invited py
ably will be the limit of time allowed for
the completion of deliveries of the food.
