WASHINGTON. 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.

These who have read Anthony Hope's
novel , "Phroso , " and who witness the dram
atization which has been made of It by
Mr Hose , will doubtless be disappointed in
the latter , but these Who have failed to
read the novel ma/ possibly find a degree ,
of satisfaction In some of the exciting dra
matic situations which the play affords
The latter docs not follow the book closely
by any means and wcro It not for the fact
that the characters In book and play
are Identical and that the program an
nounces ono Is a dramatization of the other ,
the spectalor might bo left In doubt as to
the Incidents.
The audicn"o which witnessed Monday
night's performance was not ono that filled
the theater lo overflowing , allhough there
wcro few seats left unoccupied In cither
parquctto or balcony , hut It was an en
thusiastic ono and the melodramatic situa
tions of the play seemed to arouse their
enthusiasm to an unusually high degree , as
Miss Tyler , Mr. MacLean and the rest of the
principals were compelled to answer from
two to four curlaln calls after each act.
As to the company presenting the piece ,
asldo from Miss Tjlor , Mr. MacLean and per
haps one or two others. It Is not made up
of the capable people Omaha theater-goers
are accustomed to seeing In a company trav
eling under Charles Frohman's management.
Miss Tyler , as the heroine , "Phroso , "
makes a svvc-et , dainty and pretty llttlo
Neapolitan and the manner In which she
throws her own personality Into the part
adds a chirm to It. She wears some handsome -
some gowns \\lth grace and dignity Mr.
MacLean is a handsome "Lord Wheatlej"and
gives the part a praiseworthy Interpretation.
The plaj * Is well staged and the characters
correctly costumed. Tonight's performance
ends the engagement.
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.

Common Sense
IB possessed by most people who think
for thomsolvi's. 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.
