Audubon a Missouri Grocer.

STATEWIDE PROHIBITION.

Both the Republican and Dem- ocratic parties of Arkansas have declared in favor of statewide prohibition. This makes the question a clearly defined issue in our state politics. During July and August the anti-salohn League will make a vigorous cam- paign in our state to add as many dry counties to the list as possi- ble. We desire to make the ma jority as large as possible. Every dry state adds to the national strength. The liquor men know this and they are pouring money into the territory where the fight is on. The anti-saloon League must have funds to carry on its work. Every community is in- terested in this question, and should help in contributing tc the fund. I think Prescott should raise one hundred dollars to help carry on the campaign. will start the fund by giving five dollars. Let us hear from others.

The members of this force are now looking for other jobs, as they will not return to the force. The detectives say they are at a loss to know why this department should be cut off in order to reduce the expenses of the city government, for the department, ever since it was es- tablished, has been a revenue producer, getting in each month in rewards more than the sala- ries and expenses of the office.

He Was Sent Up From Polk County For
 Murd CT.

Little Rock, June 24.-Gover- nor X. o. Pindall yesterday af- ternoon granted a pardon to Ike Pipkin, sent up from Polk county two years ago on a charge of murder, to serve 21 years, be- cause the poor fellow was so far gone with consumption that he could hardly walk. At the same time Ike Pipkin entered the pen- itentiary walls, his brother Tom, came along to serve 15 years for being connected with the same murder. The time came for the two to part yesterday afternoon, one brother with 13 more years to serve in the prison walls and one to return to the home of his wido we'd mother to be corpse within few months. The part ing was too much for Ike Pipkin, who could not walk when sepa- rated from his brother. Super intendent Pitcock, contrary to the pententiary SUD- erintendent as they are com monly depicted, did not rush the dying brother away to his train, but sent for Tom Pipkin, who has been a trusty and a model convict from the time he entered the prison walls. He asked this convict how he would like to ac- company his brother home. Both convicts frightened as though supreme power had come to their aid. Superintendent Pitcock told him to go to Polk county with his brother and return to the prison walls as soon as the destination was reached. Tom Pipkin promised to return as soon as he reached Mena, leaving Ike in the hands of friends, but Sup erintendent Pitcock refused to hear to this, telling him to go on and stay one day and night with his widowed mother. The over joyed brothers left last night and Superintendent Pitcock says Tom is as sure to return to the prison walls Saturday morning as the sun is to rise.
