PROHIBITION DAY.
Missouri Churches Asked to Make
Donations Next Sun
day.

After century of preparation,
the people of Missouri are now
engaged in a mighty campaign to
redeem the state from the liquor
power. This is the most stuped-
dous issue ever submitted to the
voters. The State Will be re,
deemed if righteous citizens in
every county and neighborhood
do their duty.
The Constitutional Amendment
Association, which is conducting
the campaign, is asking all the
churches in the State to make an
offering Of funds on next Sunday,
which is the eve Of the Glorious
Fourth.
The churches have never made
an offering that meant so much.
The destiny of Missouri is in is
sue. In four months 10000
voters will decide whether we
shall continue to waste enough
money in our Missouri saloons to
maintain $4,000 missionaries in
the foreign field--more money
every year than all the church
property in the state is worth.
We have barely time to organ
ize our forces and make a win
ming campaign. But our treas
ury is sorely in need of the sinews
Of war. We are pOwerless unless
our churches will make a liberal
offering. To mail one small leaf
let to all the voters will cost
$500 for postage alone. To
form such an organization as will
bring every possible temperance
voter to the polls is a herculean
and expensive task but it must b.
done. We need half million dol
lars and MUST HAVE AT
LEAST A HUNDRED THOUS-
AND DOLLARS. The seven
thousand churches with million
members will raise a large sum if
they can be made to grasp the
transcendent importance of doing
so.
Let every friend of our homes,
our schools and our churches go
to church next Sunday prepared
to make a magnificent offering,
Urge your pastor to stress TIL,
stupendous Importance of this
great crisis. It is hoped that the
great Christian denominations of
the state will vie with one anOth-
err for the honor of making the
greatest possible offering.
Yours for a redeemed Missouri,
G. o. NATIONS,

ment Association.

Former Treasurer of Yayapai

Crime by Binding Himself
Is Set at Liberty.

The pardoning of James 2. Storm.
which was done by Acting Governor
George u. Young. Tuesday, occasion
ed much comment in Bisbee yester-
day among those familiar with the
case. Storm is serving a term in the

Storm was prosecuted by Attorney
Z. Z. Ellinwood. at that time district
attorney Of Yavapai county
The Storm trial reached a promi-
memo in the criminal history of Ari-

morning OF November 8. 1891. Storm

ing his sentence. While deemed
guilty by nearly every one in Yavapai
county. storm was generally believed
not to have profited By his pecula.
ions. as it was believed that he
loaned the money TO friends who
had not repaid him.
After recounting the course of the
two trials the acting governor says:
The energy and ability Of the
