HELD A CALAMITY
Nomination of Magill for States Attor-
ney Was So Charae-
terized
BY REPUBLICAN PAPERS
Said to Be Under the Thumb of De-
piorable lnfiuences-Now They
Are Saying Very Little.
BY REPUBLICAN PAPERS

Little short of public calamity
would the nomination of L. NJ. Magill
for states attorney of Rock Island
be, according to local republican Or
sans before the primaries. Since the
fall campaign has been ON they have
been saying very little, which is a
pretty fair indication that their origi-
nal views are still held.
Then it was declared that the protec-
ton of life and liberty and the pursuit
of happiness in this county would be
uncertain in the event of the nomina-
ton and election of Magill. the reason
as. declared being that he was abso-
lutely under the control of certain de
plorable influences that have left their
|blackening impress upon the commune
ty for years.
Up to the Voters.
Now it is up to the voters to say
whether this man, so denounced in his
own party, shall triumph over Robert
r. Reynolds, the democratic nominee,
against whom no charges or suspicion
have ever been entertained.
Added to this, Mr. Reynolds is man
of broad experience as trial lawyer,
which Mr. Magill is not, and Mr. Rey-
Mods is satisfied with the salary OF
$1,000 per year as fixed by the super
ivisors. and which provoked complaint
| from Mr. Magill as being inadequate.

PLAN IF B|G RIFLE SHOOT
 FUR WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP

uals will be shot under conditions similar to those of the team match
 The revolver team match will be open to teams of four men, using any revolver or pistol with open sights; distance 50 yards. Two sigaters ana fifty shots will be allowed, in series Of five shots each, fresh target being provided for each series. The center of the shot-hOIe and not it's edge will determine the value of the shot.
 Each competing nation will desig- nate dle delegate to a committee, whose duty it will be to settle defin- itely and without recourse, any ques- tion which may arise not covered by the rules of the match. The members of this committee will be nominated by the team captain, and the commit tee will elect it's own chairman wne shall have a casting vote in addition to his vote as a member. Visiting teams will be furnished with tents, cots, mattresses, blankets and camp equipage, free, together with free use of targets four days preceding the match. In concluding his letter to the ambassadors General Drain says: Suggestions from those interested as to the event and their scope will Us welcome. It is desired that this shall be a truly international shooting test and for that reason as near common basis of rules is desired as it is pos sitle to formulate In v'ew of the ne cessity for extensive preparations Iu these contests 1t is requested that an answer be returned at the earliest possible date in which shall be set forth the decision of your country in regard to the sending of a competitor or competitors to take part in the proposed contest"
 The invitations will be forwarded by the state department to the diplo- matic representative Of the d fferent countries in Washington to their mn tary attaches here and through the American ambassadors and ministers abroad The nineteen countries and colonies invited are: England, Can ada, Australia, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Austria, Greece, Mexico. Argentine Republic, Brazil, Spain, Belgium and Japan. Some of these will also receive invita- tions from the National Rife AssocIa' tions, such as England, Canada, Aus tralia, France. Switzerland, Italy and the Argentine Republic. It is prop ably too much to expect that all these countries will be represented but 1t Is believed there will be more teams representing different nations than ever before shot on American soil While in England, at the Olympic games where he explained the Ameri can team, General Drain received the promise from a number of teams that they would be represented in this country next September. The matches will take place after the national and ether matches here so there will Dc nc conflict in dates.

Chas.

 Speaking generally of the district Mir. Cornell said: "The town Of Courtiand is nothing more yet than an unseemiy and unsh1pely gathering O. tent houses. There is no townsite as yet and nothing being done in that matter so far as l know. In Court land there are many small business tent houses, including barber shop, but there is no saloon and none will be permitted on company ground.
 T did not find any Chinamen at Courtland; one had been there but he sold his claim and departed before arrived.

LIFE SUBSCRIPTIONS
Outline of Plan to Fund" the Inherited Debts
of the Paper

The life subscription proposition is an effort
in the nature of the funding of an obligation.
The National PyohibitoniSt desires to pay and
at an early date must pay the large obligations
which it assumed. To secure the immediate cash
to meet these payments the proposition was made
to sell six hundred life subscription certificates
at $40 EACH Each subscription sold, of course,
becomes obligation that must be met, but it
substitutes obligation extending over a long
period of time for an immediate and pressing
obligation. 1t will be comparatively easy thing
for The National Prohibitionist to carry these six
hundred life subscriptions an average of ten or
fifteen years each, and the proceeds of the sale
of six hundred of these life subscriptions will
give to the paper stability and sound financial
footing for all years to come.
The plan has had the approval of the most
trusted leaders of the party and the money al
ready raised by the sale of the subscriptions
which have been taken has been of great value
in the work of the year Notice appears else
where looking to further extension of this plan
of work.
Up to the present time little more than half
the number necessary have been secured and the
proceeds applied to the purposes outlined. It is
now intended to push the sale of the remainder
The national prohibitionist., 1908-11-26

expired subscriptions for any considerable length
of time
Viewing the matter carefully the publishers of
The National Prohibitonist have decided that it
is upon the whole, the better plan to discontinue
subscriptions at expiration giving the subscriber
due and full notice of the time at which his
subscription expires. 1t is believed that by this
process the convenience of the subscriber and
the welfare of the publisher are served in the
greater number of instances
At the same time there is no disposition to
distrust anyone to inconvenience anyone and
the notice of the expiration of the subscription
and the necessity of disseminating the paper is
in no sense threat nor has it any personal sig
nificance. The process by which the notices are
sent and the papers are discontinued is prac-
tcally automatic, so that the publishers do not
know to whom the notices are sent at any par
ticular time.
Upon the other hand, if any subscriber on re-
ceiving notice that his subscription expires finds
it inconvenient to renew but desires to continue
receiving the paper, it will give the publishers
pleasure to arrange for the continuance of his
paper if he will promptly inform them of his de-
sire, with an agreement to pay at some future
time which he may fix
Subscription getters should assure all subscrib-
ers that the policy of this paper stop at expira
ton of time paid for"
