About street-waIkers.


Sir: In your last Sundays issue
somebody from Bellaire makes a great
kick against Wheeling boys visiting
that Ohio city for the purpose of cap
tivating the fair damsels. Well, in
one way do not blame them. Now |
wish to explain why. There are with
in this city hundreds of ladies of mar
riageable age, respectable girls whom
any young man would be proud to have
for wife. And again, do not think
there is another city of it's population
can boast Of a greater number of regu-
lar street-walkers. Any evening after
dark, by taking a stroll any place be-
tween Tenth street and the creek
bridge, on Market or Main streets, this
fact can be plainly seen. Slips of girls
from IA years of age up, and young
widows, wander up and down, some to
meet parties of the opposite sex with
whom they have made previous ar
engagements, and others TO form ac-
qualntance with whom they may
chance to meet. A like number OF hall
grown boys, and also a good number OF
married men. can De found scattered
along the routes to meet the merry
walkers.
This custom has become so common
that it is almost impossible for q re-
spectable lady to appear on those
streets without being, insulted. Inc
parents of those female street-Walkers
NOW | am not counting the common
prostitutes who are plying their voca-
ton by the hundreds, - this class are
not on the streets after dark, certain
" should know that they cannot nave
business out night after night. 10
them | would suggest that unknown 10
their daughters they follow them for
one night and be convinced or thls
statement Let any one VINO may De
interested, take a peep into the many
different club balls, now being held all
over the city; watch the back river
during skallng season, and the streets
leading to lose resorts, and ma why
wives and daughters have SO much
business gu. after dark.
do not mean to be understood that
the managers of those places are
aware of what is going on, for L am
told they pretend to keep all disreput-
able females from entering. 1t is very
hard however, to distinguish the COM
mon prostitute from the street-Walker
only by the company with wnom she
associates. AS to another complaint
also made in the Sunday Register, L
would advise those ladies who were in
suited, and any others who may be IN
the future. to notify the first police
man they meet and point out those
would-be Washers and lady-killers.
Again, 1 ask parents to beware OF
their daughters being out at night, not
withstanding the plausible excuses they
NAV make before their departure.
Watch in the N.v.nity of the Second
ward market. TRUTH.

NOT DUE 70 CLIMATE

Catarrh n Found EveRyvvheRe.
Catarrh is at home anywhere and
everywhere. While more common
in cold, changeable climates, it is
by no means confined to them, but
is prevalent in every State and
Territory in the Union.
The common definition Of catarrh
is chronic cold in the head, which
II long neglected often destroys
the sense of smell and hearing;
but there are many other forms Of
the disease, even more obstinate
and dangerous.
Catarrh of the throat and bron-
chial tubes as well as catarrh of the
stomach and liver are almost as
common as nasal catarrh and gen.
orally more difficult to cure
Catarrh is undoubtedly blood
disease and can only be success
fully eradicated by an internal
treatment. Sprays, washes and
powders are useless as far as reach
ing the real seat of the disease is
concerned.
DR.. McIverney advises catarrh
sufferers to use new preparation,
sold by druggists, called Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, because actual
analysis has shown these tablets
to contain certain anti-septic quail
tiles of the highest value and being
an internal remedy, pleasant to the
taste, convenient and harmless, can
be used as freely as required, as
we'll for children as for adults.
An attorney and public speaker,
who had been a catarrh sufferer for
years, says:
Every fall l would catch a cold
which would settle in my head and
throat and hang on all winter long
and every winter it seemed to get
little worse. l was continually
clearing my throat and my voice
became effected to such an extent
as to interfere with my public
speaking.
Il tried troches and cheap cough
cures and sometimes got relief,
but only for short time, until this
"lAlCI WHICH L lCdI LEU vi JhC AC"
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets, through a newspaper adver-
tisement. Two fifty cent boxes
which l bought at my druggists.
cleared my head and throat in fine
shape and to guard against re-
turn of my old trouble l keep a
box of the tablets on hand and
whenever l catch little cold take
a tablet or two and ward off any
serious developments"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves
to head the list as household
remedy, to check and break up
coughs and colds, because unlike
many other catarrh and cough
cures these tablets contain no OPT
ate, cocaine or any injurious drug.

To the Editor of the Register
Sir:-It's really a pathetic plant
that comes from Bellaire. What's the
use of spending valuable time in vain
repining? Why not retaliate by pay
ing attention to Wheeling girls?
There are any number here who carry
an expression on their faces which
says as plainly as if it was put there
by a painters brush, Man wanted"
Real nice girls. too, some of them.
Take walk through the business sec
ton some bright afternoon. my Bell
aire friend. and you may cop out a
girl to your liking. If you are not
too fastidious you can get prize by
the simple wink of an eye. If the
Bellaire girls give you the icy mitt.
my word for it there are dozens OF
good things here who are just dying
to have a taken" sign pinneA on
them. ONE WHO KNOWS.

RELEASED ON BAIL.
w. J. Colts is Released From the

of Two Thousand Dollars.

w. j. Colts is Released From the
Marshall County Jail Under a Bond
of Two Thousand Dollars.
Judge Hervey, of the Circuit Court,
has handed down an order to release
w. j. Colts from the Marshall county
Jail, where he has been for the past
six months. Colts was tried on a
change of venue to Marshall county
on charge of forgery. He was con-
victed and sentenced to serve three
years in the penitentiary. A motion
for a new trial was overruled by Judge
Melvin, but a stay of execution was
granted and his case was carried to
the Supreme Court, where a writ of
error was granted but the arguments
for the new trial have not yet been
made and Colts has been kept in the
jeil at Moundsville
Colts has made the second applica-
ton for pardon, the first being re-
fused. Action on the second applica-
ton has been deferred to give Mr.. Mes
bitt, prosecuting attorney of Ohio coun-
ty, time to prepare to look after the
interests of the State. Mr.. Colts has
been in poor health for some time past,
and his attorneys, Messrs. w. w. Ar
nett, of this city, and J. Howard Holt,
of Moundsville, asked that he be re-
leased on bail until a decision is hand
ed down from the Supreme Court.
Yesterday Mr.. Nesbitt and DR.. e. l..
Armbrecht visited the jail and found
that Colts was barely able to rise from
his bed.
Mr.. Nesbitt promptly withdrew any
objections that he may have had, and
Mr., Colts gave bail in the sum of 81
600, his bondsmen being r. S. Neon
nell and F. H. Blake, both of Mounds
vile. Mr.. Colts Immediately came to
his home in this city. During his in
generation in the Jail his children
have been very loyal and attentive to
him, some Of them visiting him every
day and keeping him supplied with
many things needful to his comfort

Wheeling Boys Always Welcome

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir: A numoer of young ladies wish
to inform Bachelor" of a thing or
two. which he apparently doesn't know.
namely: that the deluge of Wheeling
boys on Sunday is as welcome to the
Bellaire girls as was the mama sent
to the Israelites in the wilderness; that
he misrepresented facts entirely when
saying the Wheeling boys do not take
their Bellaire lady friends to any So
cial affairs. There may be few .ex-
captions. but these are only where the
Bellaire boys have never taken the
aforesaid few anywhere. consequently
