had accordingly talked with Myers and
testified that the gentleman had told him,
after first declining the proposition, to
say to Clark that if he was disposed to do
SO, he could put $4,000 in the hands of
Whiteside to be paid to him (Myers) in
case he should vote for Clark.
Hewitt said Clark's son stated this ar
rangement was satisfactory and had at
terwards told him the money for Myers
had been given to Whiteside and his vote
was assured.
Hewitt said during the senatorial con-
test he had talked frequently with Clark.
Once he had demonstrated with the sena-
tor concerning Whiteside as well known
supporter Of Daily but the senator had,
he said, assured him that Whiteside's 8
fidelity was assured because of the fact
that he (Whiteside) was in trouble with
Clark's opponent over a building he was
constructing in Butte. Witness also said
he had seen the senator at his rooms at
the Helena hotel a short time after the
Whiteside exposure and had asked him
what he proposed to do when the senator
had replied:
There is only one thing to do and that
is to make the people believe the DAILY
gang have furnished the money and have
put up conspiracy against us"
II asked him." continued the witness.
IF he could make that stick, to which ne
replied, There is no trouble about the
deal because if we put up good excuse
people will believe us, and we can again
get the members together.
On cross examination Hewitt said ne
was a republican and not especially in
terested in any Of the senatorial canal
dates. He had "just drifted into the con-
test" He pronounces as incorrect the re-
port Of the testimony taken before the
Lewis and Clarke county grand jury fur-
nished by the memorialists and he had
not told all the facts to the jury. Indeed,
had given the details to Mr. Birney, one
Of the attorneys for the memorialists in
Washington, few days ago.
Senator Faulkner's questions were de-
! voted to showing inconsistency on the
part of the witness in refusing to give the
details to the Montana representative of
the prosecution whom he knew and then
giving them to Birney whom he did not
know. He asked Hewitt whether Birney
had not promised to see that he was taken
care Of, but the witness replied emphati-
cally in the negative, adding that he had
"received nothing and no promise of any
thing from the anti-Clark people. for his
part in this proceeding"
Under pressure he said that when he
went before the grand jury he had desired
not to reveal all his transactions during
J the sitting Of the legislature. He had
only replied to questions asked him and
he did not consider that he had perjured
himself in Withholding some of the
facts. He had, however, made up his
| mind to tell the whole truth here.
| Concluding his testimony Hewitt said
! he had no pay for his services for Clark
and no promise of any. He had been in.
terested with the senator in a mining
company and preferred him to his oppo-
nents.

misreporting him. He repeated the
conversations with Charles w. and w.
A. Clark, and said the former authorized
him to inform Myers that he (Myers)
could get 100000 by voting for his father.
Witness warned Senator Clark that
County Attorney Lyons of Jefferson, who
had been promised money was sore and
would betray Clark unless he was fixed
at once. Clark profanely replied that all
such people had been paid their price
and would have to keep their contracts.
Witness gave the names of the Clark

Old White House China,


Broken china from the White House com :
mands very high price. Unless it is broken
it is not supposed to be outside of the Execu-
tive mansion, and possession of perfect piece
is prima facie evidence of theft by the pos
SCISSOR. But when nicked or broken the china
is disposed of by the steward at public auction.
Then collectors, professional and otherwise,
buy it up and mend it and add it to their col
lections or dispose of it again at profit.
Mrs. Senator Fairbanks recently bought at
an old curio shop Lincoln, Grant and
Hayes plate, and considered herself fortunate
to get them at price which would have
bought small house. The last auction held
by the steward of the White House was the
Goth of last December. when Mrs. Dawes Sc
cured fine Grant plate.

Garlick's Remarkable Record
Leffar from G,l,,aherZnald MI


Adam Garlick of near Tatesville, a few miles
north of Cumberland, has probably been the
worst used-up man in thecountry This week
he had two fingers sawed off at a sawmill. In
the Union Army in the Civil War he was shot
through the wrist and his eye was injured by
a spent bullet. He also received cut over the
right eye from a sabre. He has had leg
broken five times, both feet mashed, been cut
in the wrist and foot with an axe dragged
down the the mountain by the heels by run
away team, bitten by a rattlesnake on the left
fingers, run over by wagon loaded with ton
of coal, got so badly stung by bees that he laid
unconscious for several hours, received cut
in the abdomen with an axe, was knocked
down while working at grindstone in Vir-
ginia and was picked up for dead, had all his
ribs broken and one of his ankles cut while
moving hay. The last accident leaves him
with only one good finger on each hand.

A Boy Lightning Calculator.
INDIANAPOLIS Mems.


This county will make use of the Indiana
boy mathematical prodigy in figuring cut its
tax duplicates. The county auditor has made
an offer to Arthur Griffith of Bloomington.
Griffith is the boy who surprised the professors
of Indiana University last fall by his wonder
full ability at adding and multiplying. He was
taken to Harvard and Yale by Prof. Ernest
Lindley, where his work was the cause of a
great deal of discussion and investigation.
He can add and multiply large figures quicker
than the average expert accountant can write
the figures down. He can announce results as
fast as numbers can be called off. It is ex-
pected that the work Of half a score of men
will be done by Griffith and one assistant. The
assistant will call off the numbers in the long
columns on the tax returns, and Griffith will
have the answers ready for places on the du-
plicate. Several weeks time will be saved If
Griffith proves as valuable as supposed.
THE ORDINARY sprinkling carts are to be dis
pensed with in the macadam section of Geneva.
n Y, and crude oil will be substituted for
water. Only two or three sprinklers are re-
quired season, and the expense is less than
the old way.

Hicks Forecasts for June-The DAN
gers of Lightning.-Hicks,t the weather man,
has issued his forecasts for June. He says that
during the month there will be phenomenal
extremes of temperature, ranging from hot to
very cool-cool enough in high localities for
frequent frosts." He also says that thunder
storms will be frequent. Regarding the dam
gers from lightning he says:
I'VE have often warned our readers against
the danger of taking shelter under trees during
thunder storms; also of sitting or standing
anywhere so as to make easy connection with
damp or moist earth. We have also explain
ed many times that the excessive sheet light
ming, so common at June solstice, is absolute
ly harmless. Do not be alarmed when you see
the heavens flashing all around the horizon
during the sostice evening in June. This is
a magnificent harmless and necessary part of
Gods great plan for perfecting the products of
the season just at this time. Lie down and
trust and sleep! When centralized, organized,
and solid storm clouds move compactly out of
the western skies, then beware and watch.
The tone of thunder and the localized light
ming flash always announce the presence of an
active, dangerous storm"
