Jan 8-Former Stale Senator Whltesldo ot Montana tontlnued his testimony | n the Clark senatorial case before j i 1 the senate committee on privileges and clcc- ( lions today. Ho ' j was cross-examined by ox- Senator Faulkner. The examination brought out the fact that Mr Wliltcoldo. as a mem ber of a committee to Investigate the state capltol commission , had made n minority report charging corruption. Ho was asked If this was the case In which ho had sug gested to J P. McCabe that the minority re port could bo suppressed for $2.500 , but de nied that finch was the case. He said his , solo purpose in undertaking the exposure of i bribery In the leglslaturo that elected Mr. 01 rk was to protect the good name of the Elate. "I desired , " ho said , "lo have someone accept the money no as to cxposo the meth ods of Mr. Clark " "Did you bccomo a friend of Mr. Clark's friends for the purpose ot entrapping them ? " " 1 can't say , exactly , but I suppose I did. " "In doing this didn't you know jou were o.sRtimlng an attlludo of misrepresentation ? " "I did. " "Was this not a position of falsehood ? " " 1 can't say as to that , hut I had to make n number of misrepresentations. " Wluit.llc CniiMldVrcil n IIts "What do jou consider a Ho' " " 1 consider n Ho n mlsstatcmcnt to ono who has a right to know the truth not to ono who has no right to know It " Mr. Whltesldo said ho did not sec how any honeat man could vote for Mr. Clark after the exposure of the commltteo on Investiga tion , and added , under pressure , that the re mark applied to the fifty-four members of the legislature who cast their \otes for that Gentleman. Ho said , In reply to a question , that Mar cus Daly was an acquaintance of his , not a friend , though ho should bo glad to have him for a friend. "Have you received $35,000 for this pretended tended exposure' " asked Mr. Faulkner. "I have not received $3.,000 or any other sum for that service , " the witness replied. Relating to hln conversation held with Senator Clark prior to the latter's election , ho said ho was positive that Mr Clark hlm- Bolf had said , among other things , that State Senator Anderson could not bo influenced with money Hko some of the other members , and that this statement wns not made by Mr Wellcomo as appeared In the printed report of his testimony before the grand Jury of Lewis nnd Clark county. The vvltncKs said the money to pay for the present prosecution had bee'ti raised by sub scription , nnd ho understood that Mr. Doly was ono of the subscribers to the fund. The cross-oxanilnatlon further brought out tint the witness had no personal knowledge of y bribery In the case of thico of the members of the assembly who had been referred to. At noon the commltteo took a recess un til 2 30 p. in. ? \ < M % Miitcinettt ! lroiiKli < Out. "When the hearing was resumed the cross- oxamlnallon of Mr. Whltesldo continued. The main direction of the questioning was to hrlng out points of differences between the witnesses' statements now and these made before the grand jurj- . Ono of the ques tions Brought 5jont a novv statement -from ' "Whl'tesldp that his knowledge that bribery was going on was confirmed when a party to that transaction took from his pocket a roll of bills and said1 "That's what vvo do the business with. " The cross-examination Bought to bring out the circumstances of nn alleged meeting be tween the witness and an election official v ho hold the ballots In Iho election In which Whltesldo had participated. The wit ness was asked If ho had not offered $1,000 for the ballots. Whltesldo denied that this liad occurred and asserted that ho had proof to show that a party had been paid to make Buch a stalcmcnt against him. Ho said that n prosecution Instituted against him In this connection wis duo to prejudice and was In spired by ono of Clark's associates At ono point Pcttus of the commltteo ob jected to having the witness "badgered" by counsel. Fo mer Senator Edmunds of counsel against Clark said many of the questions had been Improper , but they were rot objected to , as the widest latitude was desired In testing the witness Whltesldo then went over the circum stances of hlb being authorised to offer $5,000 to each of two members with $500 down , on condition that their votes would bo forth coming , If desired. Ho was closely ques tioned on all the details. The cross-examination of Whltesldo was still In pragicss when the commltteo adjourned until 10 IP tomorrow morning.

SHORT RESPITE FOR SHIPPERS Application ot .New Freight Ilntcx Han Been llrlrlljI'oxt - Iiniipcl. The application of the official classifica tion freight tariffs in territory cast of the Mississippi river has begun to bo felt In local railroad and business circles. By the general advance In rates In the region cov ered by the official classification a consid erable number of freight shipments routed for and through Omaha have been effected. This Increase , as is generally understood , wasaccompllshed _ by the cancellation of many commodity rates and the substitution therefor of class rates. A majority of staple commodities have been effected by reabon of this change , among them being Iron articles' , agricultural Implements and parts thereof , binding twine and cord , and furniture from the Grand Rapids ( Mich. ) district. The western classification , which will have the same effect In territory west of the Mis sissippi river by the changing of many com- rcodltles to claEs rates , was to have taken effect on the 15th Inst. Later advices , how ever , state that the new rates will not be put Into operation until January 25. No reason for the postponement is assigned. I\GAI.I.S ! TO QUIT HAIMIO VI ) LIFE.

The uverngo man knows thai if his blood is impure ho fools sick all ovor. lie has headache , nausea , bad lasio in the mouth , is costive and can put no energy into his work. The kid neys are designed to purify the blood , but if diseased and tired out they can not do it. Extra work is tin own on the liver and lungs , and they too become di seased under the additional burden until the whole body is completely poisoned. What is to be done ? Common sense says put the kidneys , the blood purifying or gans , in good health , and do it at once with Warner's Safe Cure before the kid neys break down and disintegrate from Bright's disease. Warner's Safe Cure , a purely vegetable preparation , has cured thousands of men and women during the past twenty years , who wore in dan ger of death. It does exactly as repre sented and does it quickly. Ono bottle will aid , a few bottles will cure. It is not a cheap decoction but a scientific preparation carefully compounded. Do not longer triilo with your health but givn this great remedy an opportunity to cure you. r,7 * Kind of Cough , told , . ( . | | .
