The Serious Accusations Made by the
"Ouest."

Quest"
THE REGISTER yesterday morning re-
ferred TO the diagram of the block
bounded by Market, South and Six
teenth streets, printed in the quest, and
the accusations made by that paper
have been given aswide circulation and
have attracted much attention. In the
course of its article, the quest said:
"Halpin's saloon has its rear entrance on
South street and it has large patronage,
partlv because of the fact that house OF
PROSTITUTION is carried on in connection
with IL. There are several small rooms TO
the left of the rear door as one enters, in
which this prostitution is done, and young
men frequently call there in hacks FOR this
purpose On Sunday evening about half
past nine o'clock one such young man
came and the hack driver came
into the saloon with him, leaving While
our reporter was there. One OF the rooms
in which prostitution is carried on is direct
ly on the street, and policeman (oless
their innocent hearts > could easily near
the sound of the voices Of the inmates II he
would merely pass by the place.
"Across the street in the old planning
mill a high old game of keno was in progress
when our reporter called. BY common
rumor this resort is quite favorite one
with a number Of our sporting young men.
The windows Of the upper story are care
fully boarded up 10 prevent the llght from
attracting attention from the outside"
II these statements are so, 1t is
pertinent to enquire why the police
do not act. The city ordinances pro-
hihit the things the Quest alleges are
true. and the police are sworn to enforce
the ordinances. Citizens are wondering
why this duty is not better discharged.

4 Knoity Case.

CANTON, o., December IA private
telegram received here from Washington
says: Attorney General Miller has con.
fesscd error in the Supreme Court OF the
United States in the conduct of the Hay
Camp killing case, in which seven men
were sentenced to die December 10 by the
United States Court for the Northern Dis
trict of Texas This will probably reverse
the verdict and sentence of the Texas
Court. Captain Cyrus Freaz, of the Nine
teenth Ohio V. l., formerly of this county,
and six other citizens of Hugotown, Kas,
were indicted for the killing of Sheriff
Gross and two companions from Wood
state, Kas., whose bodies were found in No
Mans Land. The evidence was purely
circumstantial. Sam Woods, a Woodstate
leader, was shown to have worked up the
prosecution, and it is claimed that Sl0O,0OO
was spent in the name of the government
to convict these men. Grand Army men
and various society organizations all over
the country have been moving in behalf OF
the prisoners, one of whom was County
Commissioner and another a Congressional
candidate Senator Marsden, of Nebras
ka, has been active in behalf of the prison
ers.
The question of jurisdiction Of the Court
of the Northern District of Texas over No
Mans land is involved in the case and is
now being argued by Judges Dillon, o.
New York, Peck, of Topeka, Kansas, and
Dav, of Canton.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
A Judge Refuses to Hang Murderer on

That Day.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, December r.
In the Circuit Court here yesterday
Judge Elliott created decided sensa-
tion. The case of Chas. Seward, con-
victed of murder in the first degree, was
before him on motion for new trial.
Seward was n prominent farmer, and
killed neighbor 4 year ago. Judge
Elliott reviewed the case and then gave
decision overruling the motion for 4
new trial, sentencing the prisoner TO
be hanged on Thursday, January
%. After passing sentence he said
he saw from the apparent surprise of the
people in the court room that an expla-
nation was in order, and then in few
words he stated that he never had, and
never would, sentence man to be exc
cuted on Friday, because that day Jesus
Christ was crucified, and he would not
insult the memory of the founder Of
Christianity by sentencing murderer
to be hanged on the day upon which the
Son of God sacrificed His life for hu-
manitys sake.

Cold Waves

Are predicted with reliable accuracy, and
people liable TO the pains and aches OF
rheumatism dread every change 10 damp
or stormy weather. Although Hoods Sar-
saparillai is not claimed to be positive
specific for rheumatism, the remarkable
cures il has effected show thet it may be
taken for this complaint with reasonable
certainty Of benefit. Its action in neutral
izing the acidity Of the blood, which is the
cause of rheumatism, constitutes the secret
of the success of Hoods Sarsaparilla. II
YOU suffer from rheumatism, give Hoods
Sarsaparila fair trial; il will do you
good.
