ST. LOUIS oRsrKUOrIoNIsrs.
A Batch OF Them Indicted.

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 2-The grand jury
made their finBl report this evening.
They returned indictments against Jos
H. Mcintyre, state oil inspector; Ed
Butler, Democratic politician and So
called boss, and David W. Caruth and
DR.. Frank j. Lutz, police commissioner
The indictments allege that these par
ties conspired and combined to obstruct
the administration of the law with ref.
erence TO gambling, lotteries and gift
enterprises, and to dictate and control
police appointments with a view to car
rying out their schemes, political and
otherwise. They are charged further
with attempting to induce eX-Chief of
Police John w Campbell not to inter
fore with gambling, lotteries, etc and,
faiiIng in this, they did remove him
without cause from Office The report
of the grand jury is very scathing in
language. Il asserts that q combination
of notorious persons existed for the pur-
pose of ObstFuctiEg the laws with re-
gard to gambling, censures the governor
for granting pardOns, especially the con-
yicIed gamblers, and recommends the
withdrawal of the pardOnIng power
from the governor ana the appointment
of state board of pardOns. 1t further
recommends that the power of appoint
ing the board of police commissioners
be Withdrawn from the governor, and
that they be appointed either by the
mayor or circuit judges. It also severe
| ~ ceBsures the use of blank Fesigna
tons by the governor.
Among the other indictments returned
by the grand jury are Henry s. New
man, commissioner of labor statistics,
charged with selling notaries' commits
| sions; Hugh III. Brady, member of the
| legislature, hriberyi Warren y. McChes-
ney, leader OF the gamblers ring, at
tempted bribery; Mr.. Pickard, running
tea store with lottery accompanying
/ Henry w. Moore, managing editor of
/ the Post Dispatch, and Thomas d. White,
reporter OF the same paper, abstracting
court records.
Messrs Carnth, Lutz and Mcintyre
voluntarily went before Judge NOonan
of the criminal court of correction
tWenty-three hours after their Indictment
had been announced, and entered bonds
in the sum of $500 each. The charge
against them was only misdemeanOr
Tbs other indicted parties will give
bond tomorrow. There is 8 universal
feeling of satisfaction at the work of the
grand jury. It is stated the next grand
| jury will be instructed to continue the
Investigation of the ring, and there il
little doubt that other still more i'm
portant indictments Will be found. II
| is also said some of the witnesses before
this grand Jury will likely be indicted
for giving false testimony.

actual vote cast on this question, the
Prohibition vote Is far ahead, hut the
enemies Of Prohibition owe their escape

vote IN CONSTITUTE onal amendments shall

II the same election. The issue made
was a direct one. with no party entangle

that will be remains 10 be seen.

1t is said that 5000 people die an
nually in the United States alone from
this disease. In some sections Of the
country one death in every three is from
consumption. This can be, and should
be avoided; our people are too careless
about an ordinary cough or cold, and
the other symptoms of throat and lung
affections that lead to this disease. You
should arrest it while il is in the germ.
Two or three doses of DIR. Bosanko's
Cough and Lung Syrup will relieve an
ordinary cough or cold. 1t does not
dry up cough like many preparations
on the market and leave the disease be-
hind it, but acts directly on the throat
and bronchial tubes, removing all the
phlegm and morbid matter that accu-
INITIATES in the throat and lungs. 1t
allays all irritation, and renders the
voice clear and distinct. Call for sam

"Not by 10000 votes. The issue upon

campaign Is opened up all OF the diiier-
ences which have heretofore existed in
regard % this Question will be thor
Oughly understood. compromised and
will cut no figure in the issues OF the

even the most ardent advocates of pro

that the present prohibitory statute IS
unWieldly, bunglesolne, and can never be
successfully enforced without being ma
teriaIly modified. The intention Uf the
constitutional amendment was u do
away with and prohibit saloons, and not
10 absolutely abolish the use of liquor ia
the state. as the provisions OF the statute
pAssed BY the legislature seems 10 i'm
ply.

Land Decieions.

DENVER, COL, Nov. IAN unusually
important case was decided by Judge
McCrary of the United States circuit
court to day. The United States brought
suit TO cancel sixty one patents to lands
held by the Colorado Coal and Iron
company and others in the Los Animes
country. The patents were obtained
through pre-emption, between 1870 and
1874. issued from the Pueblo land Of
fee. 1t was afterwards found that the pa
tents were irregularlY obtained that the
patentees were fictitious persons. Tes-
timOny was introduced to show that the
register and receiver of the land Office
we're parties to the fraud. The defense
claimed that the deeds are now good,
granting that the patents were fraudu-
lentlY obtained, because the lands were
now in the hands of innocent parties.
The judge held adversely and rendered
decision in favor of complainant,
which cancels the title OF z. $50 acres Of
valuable land
