ARTIST NOT BUSINESS MAN.
Whistler Had Big Bank Account and
 Didn't Know It.

The Dundee Advertiser tells story Illustrating WhistIer's forgetfulness and utter lack of business instinct. Be ing hard pressed for debt and having finally been informed he would be sued unless a check for the amount was sent by return of post. the artist mentioned the matter to one of his friends who lived near him. Explain ing that he had few pounds in the bank, the exact sum unknown, he re- quested his friend to stop at the bank on the way to business to ascertain what was required to make his ac- count good for check of slightly over s90, and to deposit that amount for him as a loan. The friend was quite willing, and in due time stood at the cashiers desk of Whistler's bank ask ing for the amount of that gentle mans balance, explaining his errand. The cashier was interested; went to the big book of balances, turned over a few pages, wrote down some figures, and in a moment placed them before the astonished friend. Whistler's bal. ance was more than s30,000 The ar tist was delighted, but found 1t diff cult to remember when he had depos- ited so much money or where he had got it.

PRoHIsITfoNIsTs ACTIVE.

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 3.-A particu- larly active campaign is to be carried on this year blythe prohibition party, according to an announcement of the plans made by the party officials. It is intended to raise fund of at least s100,000 for the fight, of which nearly $20,000 has already been subscribed.
 Speakers will be sent into every state of the union to make formal ad- dresses and stuInp speeches on the cause of total prohibition. The cam paign will be carried into the en- emy's country in every locality.
 A keen campaign is to be inaugu- rated in the south. Headquarters al- ready have been established at Dallas, Texas, and preparations are being made by the local committee to force the battle in all southern territory. In Texas a fight is also to be made to submit to the voters in 1909 consti- tutional amendment prohibiting the sale of liquor in the state. It is feared that a prohibition statute might be declared unconstitutional under the present constitution, so the fight will be made for an amendment to the document.

PAYROLL CLERK GONE;
 LEAVES WIFE BEHIND.
Reclamation Service Employe Disappears Threatened
 To Kill Himeslf,

PHOENIX, Feb. 4.-Telling a friend at the depot that he was going to Maricopa to meet his brother and sisterin law, who were coming out from the east, William NJ. Shiras, jr., left Phoenix last Monday night and has not returned. It is feared that he has deserted his wife.
 He left his home, 323 birth Second avenue, Monday night, to go down town for medicine for Mrs. Shiras. Just before the 7:30 train for the south pulled out he was seen by T. C. Bradford, who noticing that he seemed about to board the train, asked him where he was going. Shiras replied that he was merely going down to Maricopa to meet his brother and his wife, who would be in there that night and were coming here to live. Bradford thought, noth- ing more about the matter until last night, when the news of Shiras' dis appearance was made public through the sheriff's office.
 At first it was feared that the miss ing man had met with foul play, but Bradford's story would seem to eff fectually dispose or that theory. Shiras evidently became tired of Phoenix and left. He may have be- come suddenly deranged, but that is not likely.
 Shiras has bean with the reclama- ton service as payroll clerk for sev- eral months He was always regard ed as a peculiarly efficient man by those in authority over him. Brad ford is also a reclamation service man.
 Shiras is twenty-eight years of age, weighs 137 pounds, is k5 feet 8 1-2 inches in height, medium, wore short croppy; sandy mustache; fiorid com plexion; blue eyes; blue chevoit suit made by John B. Reid x O., of San Francisco; a soft black hat from the Hub; wore black shoes, size 1-2, and had an Iver-Johnson .3S caliber revolver.
 4 determined effort is being made by the sheriff's office to locate the missing man.
 Late this afternoon it was learned that on Monday Shiras threatened to kill himself.
 He had been drinking and was somewhat tipsy. His wife had been SpSahlAS Io nm aDOdI IhO htahISi and aroused his temper. Once when she went into the room where he was he said:
 If you say another word, I'll blow my brains out"
 That night Mrs. Shiras, who is somewhat of an invalid, tainted. Shiras rushed out, declaring that he was going downtotwn to get medi. cine for her. He was never seen again.
