the remains, all sanitary precautions
being taken, were interred not far

At the pest house tho pstient was

The Clark Bribery Case.
Evidence Against the Mon?
tana Senator.
Washington, March 27 ?Counsel
tor the memorialists in the case of
Senator Clark of Montana have sub
milled their brief to the senate com?
mittee on privileges and elections
They present the following as estab
lished facts in the case from- the evi
dence adduced :
First. Tbst at least 15 members of
the legislature were paid by Mr Clark
and bia agents for their votes
Second That at least nine others
ivere offered money for their votes
and that the total amount of oflei*
proved aggregste $165,000.
Third, that $1,000 was offered by
])r Traoy, a friend and agent of Air
Clark, to bribe tbe attorney general
to dismiss the proceedings in tbe
Wellcome oase
Fourth. That tbe asme sgent of Mr
Clark offered Juatice Hunt for tbe
supreme court $100,000 to dismiss
tbe Wellcome oaae
Fifth That Mr Clark and bis
friends engsged in wbolesa'e bribery
cf members of tbe legislature to
secure tbe election of Mr Clark.
Of tbe 95 members of tbe legists
tare (inoloding Mr Whiteside) 26
vrere sworn before this committee
Of these, tbe memorslists say, nine
bsve tsken osths that they were
offered money to vote for Senator
Cork. Two, they olaim, have ad
mitted the receipt of money, $5 000
eaoh, after voting for Mr Clark,
but tried to excuse it. Either by
direct testimony or otherwise they
claim the acceptance of bribes is
fixed upoo 15 others
The testimony of both Mr Clark and
Mr E C Day established conclusive
ly the psyment of Mr Clark to Mr
Day a few days after the election of
$5,000, which sum Mr Day says be
accepted in compensation for his
services as a friend of Mr Clark while
ha was in the city of Helena as a
member of tbe legislature and leader
of tbe Clark forces upon tbe floor of
the bouse. Mr Clark testifies as to
this transaction ss follows : "It was
in oonsidsrstion of my friendship for
Mr Day and for tbe work performed
by bim io trying to organize the
legislature to be tne elected spesker
and iu order to control our forces, io
wbicb, however, we failed I recog
nized that he was worthy of this con
sideraticn "
Mr Day admits that no part of this
$5 000 went to the other members of
the law firm of wbiob he ia a partner.
The contention on tbe part of Mr Day
aod Mr Clara. iat thia was s gift will
deceive no one It was received in
direct violstion of his oath of office."
"It was never ooooeived possible that
a man would offer aa a candidate for
high position sitopiy beoaase of vanity
or of his boiog a oraok, still less that
one would enter suoh a race with oo
hope of beiug elected but simply with
tbe view of defeating soother mao "
Aod yet that has beeo done aod that is
what sill oootinoe to be done so long
as tbe executive oommitteo requires
meetings at wbiob every man who com?
plies with tho rules is allowed to forea
himself on the public. It is this tha:

A TRAMP AND HIS PAL
THE TRAIL THAT ONE MADE TO GUIDE
THE OTHER.
It Enabled "Apeetlte Dill," After His
Term In .Jail Was Dune, to Inerr
liiKiy follow iuk Pariser From
Clnciuimtt 4? BuiiMon.
"We have a good many tramps up In
our part of the country," said a sugar
plauter, "and I've made Minething of a
study of their peculiarities. Tin? old
idea that they carve marks aud signs
on fences that can he read by all other
members of the fraternity is pure non?
sense, of course, but I have known sev?
eral instances in which one tramp
would leave a trail, so to speak, for the
guidance of u partner who might not
put in an appearance for months.
"The first cuse of that kind I ever
encountered was rather amusing. 1
was riding, one spring day. down a
road that passes through my place,
when I noticed a typical hobo indus?
triously carving a sort of hieroglyphic
on a big pest standing near the fence.
The mark consisted of a square and
triangle side by side, aud he was Just
putting on the finishing touches as I
arrived.
"My curiosity was at once aroused,
and I determined to find out if possible
exactly what the thing meant, so I pro?
ceeded to collar the fellow, and after a
little vigorous bluffing he told me he
was putting up directions for his part?
ner, who would be along some time in
the fall. lie assured me that the marks
meant nothing in particular, except
that he had passed and was going in
the direction of the poiut of the trian?
gle.
"Ills partner, according to the story
which I dragged out of him piecemeal,
was doing a six months' jail sentence
for slugging a policeman in Cincinnati
and when be got out on Sept. 1 would
strike south, following a trail of carv?
ings on water tanks, depots, barns and
fenccposts. When the first tramp
struck a good place to loaf, he proposed
to stop and wait for the other to catch
up.
"'What's your partner's name?' I
asked.
"'It's by rights William Sparks.' said
the hobo, 'but everybody calls him
"Appetite Bill" on account of his al?
ways being hungry, lie carries a sack
to pack grub in aud has red whiskers
and a funny looking wart on one side
of his nose/
"I was satisfied from my prisoner's
manner that he was telling me the
truth, so I took him up to the house,
gave him a good dinner and sent him
on his way rejoicing.
"Now for the sequel," continued the
planter. "One afternoon in the fall I
was driving home from the station
when I passed a very dilapidated hobo
with red stubble on his chin and a gun?
ny sack under his arm. and some In?
stinct told me that Mr. Sparks, alias
?Appetite Hill.' had at last arrived.
He seemed to be looking for land?
marks, and when be reached the big
post I saw him stop, scrutinize the
carving and theu start off with a new
and confident step. That settled it,
and I drove ahead and intercepted him
at the house, half a mile farther on.
"'Hello. Bill!' I said 'How's your
appetite this eveuingV
?' 'Appetite?* he stammered and gave
such a violent start that he dropped
his gunny ??ack.
" 'Why, yes,' said I. 'Perhaps they
didn't feed you very well at Cincin?
nati.*
"At the word Cincinnati he turned
livid and glared around with such evi?
dent intention of bolting that I made
haste to explain.
'* 'Don't be alarmed,' I said. T met
your side partner a few months ago,
and he told me to look out for you.* It
took me some time to dissipate Bill's
suspicions, but when I finally succeed?
ed in convincing him that it was all
right be told me a mist interesting
story of his journey across the coun?
try.
"A professional hobo will follow?the
track of another hobo with an accura?
cy that is curiously suggestive of wood?
craft. All the way down from Cincin?
nati BUI had never once lost the trail,
and before be left I gave him an ad?
dressed postal card and got him to
promise me he would put It In the mail
at whatever point he caught up with
his partner. Less than a month later 1
received the card, bearing a Houston
(Tex.i date mark; so 1 presume It was
there they met.
"Both of these tramps could read aud
write, and I asked Sparks particularly
why his friend didn't use some brief
message In place of the hieroglyph.
He replied that it would attract too
much attention, and other hoboes
would be likely to add misleading
words, while the little square and tri?
angle paaaed unnoticed.
"Since then 1 have encountered two
other nearly similar cases. In each of
which a tramp was leaving a cipher
trail for a crony to follow when he got
otit of jail, and 1 infer that the prac?
tice is tolerably common. At any rate
It Is a curious feature of tramp life

SEVEN RUNNING SORES CURED
-BY
Johnston's Sarsaparilla
QUART BOTTLES.
THE GREAT SPRING /V\EDICI1NE.
JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as 3 Blood Food and Nerve Energizer, is tks
greatest SPRINQ MEDICINE ever discovered. It comes as a rich blessing fross
heaven to the " worn out." the run down, the o 'erworked and debilitated. That " tire4
feeling," those "sinking spells," the languor and atspondency which arise from badly nour?
ished nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and an underfed body, vanish as if by a magi*
spell. The weariness, lassitude and nervous prostr ,:on which accompany the spring?
time and the heat of summer, are conquered and bar. ' ed at once. For every form of
neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and nerve. u< mnia, hysteria and nervousness
generally, it is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nervo
tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it
makes rich, red, honest blood. Newness of life, new hope, new strength follow its faith-!
ful use. It makes the weak strong, and the old young again.
It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method in the good old times, to
treat Salt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from
BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such us mercury, arsenic and other mineral'
agents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison could be killed while the blood
was left to course through its channels holding in its circulation the speciftc germs of the
disease. But in this way, every part of the body became more or less diseased. Noth?
ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks viru?
lently the different structures of the body, but many times the bones are honey-combed
and destroyed. It often seeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again it will bring da
cay and death to some vital organ, as the kidneys, liver or stomach. There is only oaa
scientific method for the cure of blood taint. That is, PURIFICATION 1 Every particle
of the blood must be removed through the execretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels,
liver and skin. " First pure, then peaceable." The great restorative, reconstructive and
vitalizer of the blood. JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and ex?
haustively removes the taint, but also removes all mercury, calomel and other minerals,
and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current of vitality. "The blood is
the life." Good health means pure blood. The old and reliable remedy, JOHNSTON'S
SARSAPARILLA, is universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discov?
ered. This fact is now established beyond question or cavil.
