RemodeIed Edifice ReOpened at GAIesburg
Sunday.
The remodeled church of Grace
Episcopal parish, Galesburg, of which
Rev. f. f. Gee, formerly assistant at
Trinity church here, is pastor, was
reopened with impressive services last
Sunday. The benediction of the
structure was performed by Rev.
George F. Seymour, bishop of the do
cese of Springfield. The Galesburg
Republican-Register says;
/ REV. f. +. Gee, who, besides being
rector of Grace parish, is also dean of
the Galesburg deanery, came to the
church in the fall of 1898. He has
brought the parish to high point in
religious activity and has been largely
instrumental in the reorganization of
the society and auxiliary work eff the
parish, which is now upon a splendid
working basis. His executive and
business qualifications have worthy
evidence in the extensive remodeling
of the church edifice, in securing
funds for which he had an important

HORSE THIEF TAKEN
Captured at Milan Monday Even
ing for Crime Committed
in Iowa.
CIRCUMSTANCES WERE UNUSUAL
Sought to Raise Money to Cover
Expenses ,of Wedding and
Flight.

W. H. White, who has lately been
Milan Monday evening for horse steal
ing, and thereby hangs a most pecu-
liar tale. White is the man who a
week ago claimed to have been held
up by two men in Moline. Two fell
lows were arrested here on suspicion,
but there was no proof against them
aud they are now serving a sentence
for carrying revolvers which were
found on their persons. White called
at the jail last Friday and measured
the feet of the pair to see if they
would fit some tracks he claimed to
have discovered near where he declared
he was held up
Saturday White went to West Lib
cry. Iowa, and Sunday night he
stole a horse from A. a. Brown,
of that place, and with a
piece of bed quilt for a saddle,
started for Rock Island. He was
traced to Muscatine, where he crossed
the bridge into this county. Sheriff
r, o. McGaughey, of Muscatine
county, telephoned to j. G. Miller, of
Milan, that the thief was headed this
way. Meantime William Peppers, of
Drury, and another man, took up the
chase in a buggy and followed White
across four townships, arriving in
Milan close behind him. But they
were too late, for Miller had met his
man as he was riding into town and
had him taken into custody at the
point of revolver.
RequIsItIon Papers Necessary.
Sheriff Cralle went to Milan and Sc
cured the prisoner. He was identified
Yesterday by the owner of the horse,
who came up with Sheriff McGaughey.
White refused to leave the state with
out q requisition and a warrant was
sworn out for him as a fugitive from
justice and a hearing set before Magis-
trate Stafford Jan. ). A requisition
will be secured in the meantime.
White is believed to be a iittle
queer" Not much is known about
him here, but he claims East St. Lonis
as his home. 1t is rumored that he
is invoIved in an affair of the heart
with a young woman residing in the
eastern part OF Rock Island AMI that
the horse was stolen as a handy means
of raising the sum necessary to cover
TIE expenses of wedding and a trip
to parts unknown. The horse is a
black mare and a valuable animal. 1t
was sent back TO Muscatine yesterday
over the route by which it had come.
Mr.. Miller will secure n reward of $50
for capturing the thief.

There is a Topeka young man of his
trionic ability who will never again try
to joke by means of the telegraph He
is Marc Robbins, and he has a father
and mother and a brother in this city
A recital Of this fact is important to
the story
Several months ago Mr.. Robbins left
Topeka with Uncle Josh Spruceby'' or
"A Sawmill Sensation or some other
attraction possessing rural atnos-
phere and sufficient drawing power to
earn salaries for the players He con-
tinued with the piece up to short time
ago, when the season was closed in good
style and the various members of the
company prepared to journey to their
respective homes. Topeka has long Serv-
ed as Mares respective home" and to
this city he made arrangements to re-
turn.
Mr.. Robbins it may be said, is of a
very jocular disposition. This expIana-
ton is made for the benefit of those
who do not know him personally. So
when he found himself in readiness to
start home he decided to notify his fam
ily in an original manner. Instead of
the stereotyped win leave for home
this afternoon" or something to that .ef--
feet, he made use of a familiar phrase
used in his part in the production and
the telegram received by his parents in
this city consequently read as follows;
Meet me at the fair grounds with a
blanket"
The telegram as received by the
senior Robbins is not exactly the
phrase as Familiarity used. Meet me in
the suburbs with a blanket" is the cor
rect reading, but Mr. Robbins thought
he would make it as local as possible
