CHADRON, Neb., May 25.--To the Editor
OF The Bee: Under date OF the 22d instant
in the Lincoln letter Of your valuable pa
per, appears the following statement which
purported to come from a prominent demo-
crat in the northwestern part of Nebraska:
Harrington will have to get in line If
Holcomb is a candidate and he will have to
take the stump for him in spite of the anti
fusion talk He owes Holcomb a rot of
favors because OF the number of his clients
who were pardoned out of the pententiary."
The speaker then went on to say that he
issued more pardons for men defended by
Harrington than for any other attorney in
the state and opined that 1t must have been
surely for political reasons.
Owing to the fact that the above state
ment does an injustice to both Mr.. Har-
rngton and Ex-Governor Holcomb, ask that
you give the denial of the statement the
same publicity that you gave the original.
Since Mr.. Harrington came to the state but
four of his clients have ever been convicted,
and he never asked pardon for any of them
but one. That one was an old soldier who
had never previously committed any crime
and who had large family, and he was
pardoned by Governor Holcomb upon the re-
quest of the prosecution as well as OF the
defense and in compliance with the wishes
of very large number OF influential citi-
zens of all political parties. The writer
knows personally that Holcomb and Har-
rington are close personal friends, and Hol-
comb can count on Harrington's support
should he be the nominee of the fusonists
for supreme Judge this fall. Very re-
spectfully yours, JOHN G. MAHER.

FREMONT, Neb., May 25.-(Special. 1.-THE
Emo hotel was today opened up for busi-
ness after being quarantined for a week on
account of a case of smallpox. The bed
ding and all the furnishings of the room
occupied by the patient, Dalton Smith, wrere
destroyed and the entire building thoroughly
fumigated under the direction of the Board
of Health. This was done on Thursday last
the day young Smith was removed to a
house northeast of this city No new cases
have developed and the Board of Health and
physicians generally are confident no germs
of the disease .lurk anywhere about the Emo
hotel property. The case was a very light
one and the boy will probably be released
from quarantine soon All the excitement
over smallpox here has eubsided. Young
Smith, while sick, was in a remote part OF
the hotel, a part seldom used except when
the hotel was crowded.

City Attorney Hensley seized 200 kegs OF
beer yesterday which had been sent here
by the South Omaha Brewing company and
consigned to themselves. The beer was
to be doled out here to purchasers in guam
titles, to saloons and others, and the city
attorney claims that inasmuch as the brew
ing company has taken out no wholesale IL
cense they are violating a chapter of the
Slocum law. On the other hand the COM
pany claims that the deal and sale is made
at and from South Omaha, where they have
a wholesale license, and they simply employ
an agent here. The matter will be thor
oughly tested in the courts
