The evidence being brought out before
the senate committee on privileges and
elections in the investigation of the
title of Senator Clark of Montana to
his seat tends to prove that there has
existed conspiracy dating as far
back as 1898, organized for the purpose
OF defeating the political aspirations of
the claimant. The evidence further
shows that the chief figure in this con
spiracy has been and is Marcus DAILY,
the business and political rival of Mr..
Clark. There appears to be abundant
evidence that Clark used money freely
in securing his election to the United
States senate, and not always in a
proper manner. There can be no JUS
tihcation for the methods employed by
his opponents in their efforts to defeat
him. OF all the trafickers in the PEG
pies rights Clark alone seems to stand

MOST PITIABLE CASE.
Young Woman Sent to the Asylum
Fighting For Liberty.

Mrs. Sarah Leasure, wife of a young
farmer who lives near Willard, was
brought into the probate court yester-
day afternoon by her husband and was
adjudged insane and taken to the
asylum. It was one of the most pitt
able cases that has ever come before
Judge Dolman.
There is insanity in Mrs. Leasure's
family. Her father died in the asylum
and she has been fearful that she her
self would go insane. She has been mar
ried for six years, and until few
months ago she and her husband have
lived very happily together. They have
one child, a boy of 5.
Mrs LeaSure'S insanity is periodical.
Some times she is as sane as any one.
Several months ago she Degan to have
spells when she would break dishes,
eide. She finally got SO bad that Mr..
Leasure felt compelled to have her
placed in the asylum and he therefore
made affidavit to her insanity.
Mr. Leasure succeeded in getting her
to the probate judges Office yesterday
without her knowing his purpose. Judge
Dolman did not like to tell her of the
charge so he delegated that\ duty to
DR.. Eastman, who was the physician
on the jury DR.. Eastman was super
intendent of the Topeka asylum at the
time her father died there, and she
recognized him.
on re the superintendent OF the III
sane asylum" she said to him suspic-
iousIy when Judge Dolnan introduced
the doctor to her.
mo-" said the doctor, 81 am not
Yes, you are" she cried. And
they've brought me to try me for in
sanity
Perhaps some hospital treatment
will do you good" suggested DR.. East
man quietly.
mo, it WON'T she cried, and as the
full force of what was before her came
to her mind, she began to rave.
I'll kill you when I get chance
she said to her husband.
1t required the combined strength Of
Sheriff Cook and two other men to hold
her and she nearly escaped from them.
TN slap your face for you" was
the assurance she gave Judge Dolman.
The little boy was crying bitterly and
Mr.. Leasure could hardly testify, so
great were his emotions. The entire
scene was very affecting.
A verdict of insanity was quickly rem
dered by the jury, and Mrs. Leasure
was taken to the Jail and from there to
the asylum. She fought the officers all
the way to the asylum.

Senator Vests proposed amendment
to the financial bill, authorizing the
secretary of the treasury to provide an
issue of 5000, 100000 in treasury notes to
be exchanged for United States bonds
on demand, appears to be worthy Of
more consideration than it is likely to
get. That portion Of the plan which
provides that the notes when issued
shall bear the same rate of interest as
do the bonds for which they are ex-
changed is enough to array the united
banking interests Of the country
against it.
