because Of the good start he has made
in gaining a thorough education. he is
not going to stop with the high school,,
but is going to college, and will finish
a course in the same manner, by work
ing hard to pay his expenses. This
city had another colored boy in school
a few years ago, who, however, did
not graduate but later went to college.
Herbert c. Wright graduated from the
state university, is now practicing law
in Des Moines, and making success of
life.
Marshalltown entertained this week
a representative gathering of the
states third party prohibitionists, who
assembled in their annual convention.
The convention was harmonious in
nearly every particular, with the ex-
ception of the adoption of the preamble
to and certain portions of the plat
form. Squabbles of this kind are to
be expected, however in all political
gatherings, and are soon forgotten.
Some, however. are of the opinion that
the platform, as adopted, is not the
vote getter it would have been without
some Of the alterations made.
The business interests of the city
have been stimulated to marked de-
gree by the reopening of the Rhoades-
Carmean buggy factory, which has
now in it's employ forty men, and ex-
poets to have the number doubled with
in a fortnight. With the big plant in
operation. and the promise of the glu-
cose starting manufacturing in the fall,
encouragement is apparent. The shut
ting down of business, especially old
institutions that have been looked upon
as fixed industries, always has a ten
dency to discourage, and permits the
blues to become contagious. What
Marshalltown wants is to get all OF it's
present industries in operation, and go
after new ones at the same time.
start in the right direction will bring
it's own results, but it appears to be
the fact that when people are discour-
aged the knockers" are surest to have
their hammers out.
In a few weeks the people Of this
city will be given an opportunity to
vote permission to an interurban COM
pany to- lay tracks over several streets
in the city. 1t is understood, as the
matter now stands, that no opposition
is to be made to the interurban enter
prise by the Marshalltown Light,
Power & Railway Company. The lat
ter has already offered to extend right
of way privileges over it's lines to the
new company upon reasonable terms
and it begins to look as tho Marshall
town could put thru one enterprise
without it's citizens becoming ernbroiled
in family row. God speed to the in
terurban! There is no one institution
yet suggested that can ever confer upon
this community the direct commercial
benefits that will come from an inter-
urban electric road entering this city
and centering here so that passengers,
boarding it's cars. will be brought to
Marshalltown to spend their money.

case. THE young man IS unquestion-
ably dead, and some day the manner OF
his taking of will leak out.
If he ran into nest of moon
sinners there was just one chance in
100 OF his coming out alive. Southwest
Virginia and that part of Tennessee
that borders on it are honeycombed
with Illicit stills, conducted by desper-
ate men who count human lives as OF
little value when their liberty is at
stake.
THE average mountain man is in a
class by himself He is jealous, grave,
secretive and suspicious. His code is
never to injure man with any weapon
but a gun, and when he shoots he
shoots 20 kill. In the yernacular OF the
mountaineer a man is neyer killed,
he Is Just pecked of.

Ex-Counsel of St. Louis Fair Charged
With Forgery in First Degree.
STILL CONFINED IN HOSPITAL

Indictments Are Based On Forgery Of
Deed Of Trust to Secure Loans Of
$4,000 from Estate Of Which He
Was Trustee.
st. Louis Dec. 4.-The grand jury has
returned two indictments against
James l.. Blair. former general coun-
sci OF the Worlds Fair. each charging
forgery in the first degree. Each in
dlctment is based on the alleged FOR
gerry by Blair OF a deed Of trust TO Sc
cure a loan from the estate OF Peter
Blow OF ST. Louis. Of which he, as a
trustee. had charge. Bail in the sum
OF $4,000 was given by Mr. Blair.
One indictment alleges that on De-
cember 10, 1896 Blair filed for record a
forged deed in favor Of Michael
OLaughlin and HIS wife. Johanna to
Louis A. Meyer for $4,000 Seven
notes and property near Fourteenth
and Spruce streets were given as Sc
curty.
The other Indictment charges that
on July 10. 1898. Blair fled a forged
deed for 100000 in favor OF Elizabeth
and John Dwyer and the St. Louis
Trust Company, their agent, TO otto J..
Mersmer. II covered II notes and
property at Seventh and Pine streets.
The indictments also charge Blair wlln
forgery of the seal OF the St Louis re-
corder Of deeds
The indictments were assigned 10
Judge Taylor's division OF the Circuit
Court. A capias was issued for the ar
rest Of Blair and was placed in the
hands OF three deputy sherlffs for ser
vice. They were then instructed To
proceed to Mulanphy Hospital. whore
Blair has been confined by Illness sine"
his collapse several weeks ago.
The punishment In each case range
from 10 years to nfe Imprisonment
The indictments indirectly result, II
Is understood from testimony before
the grand jury by James 7. Roberts.
a former employe OF Blair.
An impression which prevailed that
the crimes which Roberts charged
we're outlawed by the statute Of iimi-
tatlons and that Blair could conse
quently not be prosecuted. was err
roneous. Forgery in the first degree
is not covered by the statute of limi.
tatiOns.
The law on which the indictments
are based is section 1891 Of the revised
statutes Of Missouri. which provides
that every person who shall forge
counterfeit or falsity any deed or other
instrument. being or purporting 10 be
the act OF another, or any certificates
OF the acknowledgment OF the proof OF

NAV be recorded. or anw certificate
of the filing or recording OF any such
deed or instrument. with intent TO de-
fraud. shall be guilty Of forgery in the
first degree
As soon as IL was known that the IN
dictments had been found a note con

Mr.. Blair at the hospital. Dr. Homan
his physician. responded in person.
and said that Mr.. Blair had no state
ment to make. but referred all in
