BLAIR IS INDICTED
EX-WORLD'S FAIR ATTORNEY AND LEADER IN MANY OF ST. LOUIS' REFORMS
CHARGED WITH FORGERY
The Fallen Man Goes From the Hospital to Court and Gives $10,000 Bond for His Appear-
St. Louis, Dec. 4.—The October grand jury yesterday returned two indictments against James L. Blair, former general counsel of the world's fair, each charging forgery in the first degree. Each indictment is based on the alleged forgery by Mr. Blair of a deed of trust to secure a loan from the estate of Peter Blow, of St. Louis, of which he, as trustee, had charge. One indictment alleges that on December 10, 1896, Blair filed for record a forged deed in favor of Michael O'Laughlin and his wife, Joanna, to Louis A. Meyer for $12,000. Notes and property near Fourteenth and Spruce streets was given as security.
The other indictment charges that on July 10, 1895, Blair filed a forged deed for $60,600 in favor of Elizabeth and John Dwyer and the St. Louis Trust company, their agent, to Otto Mersmer. It covered eleven notes and property at Seventh and Pine streets.
The indictments also charge Blair with forgery of the seal of the St. Louis recorder of deeds.
The punishment in each case ranges from ten years to life imprisonment. The indictments indirectly result from testimony by James T. Roberts, a former employee of Blair. An impression which prevailed that the crimes which Roberts charged were outlawed by the limitations, and that Blair could consequently not be prosecuted, was erroneous. Forgery in the first degree is not covered by the statute of limitations.
Blair gave bond in the sum of $10,000 yesterday evening to answer to the two indictments against him.
The indictments are the result of charges filed by James T. Roberts, an attorney at one time employed in Blair's law office. Roberts, who had become familiar with Blair's private affairs, secured certain papers and records on which he afterward based his charges that Blair was juggling the finances of large estates committed to his trust. This was more than three years ago. The story, however, did not become public until the present grand jury began an investigation.

Roberts, following his appearance before that body, publicly charged, among other things, that Blair had ferged deeds of trust and mortgages on which $63,000 was obtained from the estate of the late Peter Blow, of St. Louis, and that he counterfeited and used the notarial seals of the recorder of deeds of St. Louis and frequently employed "Waiter E. Jenkins" a purely fictitious personage, to attest the documents. Blair characterized Roberts' accusations as a "tissue of falsehood woven around a few grains of fact."
One of the indictments against Blair charges that, in a deed of trust, reputed to have been made by persons alleged to be Elizabeth and John Dwyer on property at Seventh and Pine streets, to secure a loan of $60,000, Blair obtained from the Blow estate $20,000 and the indictment is based upon the reputed loan. The other indictment is based upon the alleged loan on property at Fourteenth and Spruce streets for $12,000.
When the information was conveyed to Mr. Blair that the grand jury had returned the bills against him, Mrs. Blair was present. She met the shock bravely and calmly, but made no comment. Blair immediately asked as to the nature of the charges, and when informed said that he had no statement to make, but would at once apear before the court to give bond. James T. Roberts, whose accusations against Plair led to the investigation by the grand jury and resulted in the indictments, was seen last night He said:
"I don't want to appear as a persecutor or a prosecutor in this matter. I have gained a lot of unenviable notoriety since I appeared before the grand jury, and I don't care to say anything more at present.

DISFRANCHISM AND LYNCHING.
In mauy southern states disfranchisement is the wholesale punishment, and it so exists because the federal laws are not enforced. Article 1 and section 2 reads "Slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist except as a punishment for crime, and such persons shall be duly convicted. All persons born in the United States shall be equally protected. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States, no state shall deny a citizen the right to vote on account of race or color.
The constitution of Missouri, article 2, section 9, says 'all elections shall be free and open, no power, civil or military, shall at any time interf re to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage. These laws were ignored in St Louis and other places. aladministration gives impulse to eruption, and nations grasp the sword and rush to battle. Artii.1 government is an incentive to reheilion, Disfranchisement is diabolice and a disgrace to any republic. Uncle am why not call a halt?
Lynching is another form of disloyalty and is a malady of long standing, Men who had more selfishness and ambition than good sense led off into this cuatom, and it is a challenge to the state, dishonors the laws and an ignominy To check crime mobbing is no remedy but only increases men's thirst for blood and vengeance. All lynchers are murderers and violators of law; and are equally guilty as the person lynched
Only towards will join the ranks with lynchers, the brave man will battle against evil and obey the law of conscience the law of God and the state laws. White men will help the negro to luch the negro, but the negro must not attempt help lyuch the white man some negroes could be at the gate of Paradise, and if a white man said to him, Down below is the best place, the negro would say, Yes, boys, I believe so too, for I know you knows, and down Bartimus goes. Lynching is worse than the Indians in the West, the superior people are those who obey the laws. The colored man or Indian, without home or education, and a loyal citizen, is superior to that white worth a million, well informed and yet lawless and dishonest.
Some negroes especially in the southern states, the more ignorant classes of them are like other negroes learning how to lynch, but he is careful to shun the white man.
The best method to check lynching and lawlessness is Christianity and christian education. No one believes that every person whose names are on the church book is a christian. All men and officers were strictly imbued with the value of christian education and good government, they would obe, and see that the laws were obeyed by others.

Article 1.—Shall the negro vote the democratic ticket?

Art 3.—Why not now?
Art 4—Because democrats disfranchise

Art 5—When shall negroes vote the

Art 6—When democrats and republicans are the same, except in the name.
Art 7—What do you mean by that?
Art 8—I mean when the democrats do away with Jim Crow cars and put you in the posto fice as postmaster, and whatever place you can fill.
Art 9—Democratic discrimination against the negro.
Art 10—It is against you to vote the democrat ticket. You endorse disfranchisement and only menial labor for the negro.
We have some democrats in the republican ranks, but they cannot deface the platform of the party. The democrats had more than two hundred years to make this a good country. Party-three years ago what was your condition? The democratic party offered you no schools, but under their sway you was an ignoramus and in a barbarous state. H. J. BURTON.

NEWS PAPER ENTERPRISE AND HOW TO SUCCEED.
The man who takes hold of the editorial bill-card, his success depends upon the broad scope of his comprehension. He must lay the track, but the phblic will inspect it, the Encyclopedia of the news paper is the Editorials, fable and will composed jokes aid in the sale of papers, an abridged sketch of general news, is better than lengthy news, general news suits few, but local news suits all. News paper business is like hotel keeping you are to cook to suit the eaters, season to their taste. Business items suits business men, girl and boys want something laughable and how to get them, but old peoples news must be a remedy to encrease Vitality. Paper business is a cheap plan of education alodg some lines, the person who will not read news papers is in the shade in the march of time, and is only a one stded consursational and when papers comes out on time increases the list of subscribess. News paper news flies at the rate of 45 miles and hour. The gaeatest thinkers of the age are those who read newspapers, they see the march and progress of the cirulized nations, by newspapers information men prepare to protect themselves from being swoped upon by savege nations. Let us read papers of our race especially.

THE DEMOCRATIC CRY
It is "Negro Domination," But it Means
"Negro Degrada ion."
The democratic cry of Negro domination is a misleading term. What the democratic party really means is Negro degradation or humiliation. The democratic party does not fear negro domination, but they do desire negro degradation.
The American negroes are on the upward march to the higher plane of man and womanhood.
The American negroes, since their emancipation by the republicans, are living purer and better lives, and becoming educated and more intelligent, are seeking gher and better things in life. But Gorman and his followers are bitterly opposed to this aspiration in the negro, and in order that the democrats may impede the upward march of the negro, they raise the cowardly yelp of "Negro domination."
Put while a just God sits in glory, the democratic party will never succeed in its damnable efforts. Divine Providence is simply a lowing allowing the negro hating democratic party to rush on to its own d estr

From Infancy To Age
MOTHER AND CHILD
When they become pale and languid, face bloodless, eyes dull, head aching, feet and hands cold, appetite gone or abnormal, and their systems generally run down, they need building up, and their blood needs cleansing.
Give them LAXAKOLA; its gentle bowel action to cleanse, and its tonic properties to build up the system, will show immediate and most beneficial results.
It acts promptly, surely but gently on the bowels, and while stimulating the liver to increased activity, its tonic properties strengthen the nerves, renew vitality and restore color to the face and life and animation to the whole system. It is the only tonic laxative that strengthens and tones them up.
Laxakola for Mothers.—It is particularly valuable and useful to women, especially mothers, as it is a gentle and safe remedy to use during all conditions of health whenever their peculiar and delicate constitutions require a mild and efficient laxative and tonic; while to nursing mothers worn out with the care of infants and whose systems therefore are particularly susceptible to disease, LAXAKOLA directly appeals.
It clears the complexion, brightens the eye, sharpens the appetite, removes muddy and blotched condition of the skin and cures sick headache to a certainty by removing the cause.
To women suffering from chronic constipation, head-aches, biliosiness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin and dyspepsia, LAXAKOLA will invariably bring relief and a positive and permanent cure.
What Mr. Rose, Pugh, E. Palestine, G, Bor 125, says about LAXAKOLA. "March 11, 1991. Received your sample, it has done so much good, send me a 56c. bottle." March 28. "Bottle came safe, did me a lot of good, drugs here don't keep it, so enclosed is 56c. please send me quickly another bottle. The last bottle did me so much good want another at once." April 18th. "Enclosed is 56c. for one more bottle LAXAKOLA. It has done much good."
Laxakola for Old Folks.—In the Autumn and Winter of Life when the various organs through long years of action have become more or less sluggish, it becomes necessary to stimulate them by some remedy best adapted to that purpose. So long as the stomach and bowels are doing their work properly and the liver and kidneys are active and strong, your food is assimilated properly, your blood is kept pure and rich, and your nerves are strong. The feeling of nervousness, general weakness and debility means that the whole system is run down and needs a general toning up.
That LAXAKOLA DOES IT, has been proved beyond all question. Its gentle warming, soothing action on the bowels, liver and kidneys, stimulates them to increased activity, cleanses the blood, quickens the circulation, and puts the whole system in a condition of health and enables it to ward of disease, while its tonic properties tone up the system and keep it healthy.
Laxakola Does It.
Blotched, sallow, unwholesome and muddy skin, with its consequent morbification, often leading to morbid lesions. You should show that your blood is blotched way to clear the complexion to it its normal healthy, velvety condition is to clean out the entire system purify the blood and remove any impurities. / R.

LAXAROKA is a gentle and safe remedy to use during all conditions of the body, and it is also used to delicate constitutions require a mild and efficient 'laxative and tonic', and is invaluable in assisting to active obstructions which otherwise would lead to more or less severe pain or illness.
