GROVES PARTNER.
Police Think They Know the
"Dark Complexioned Man."

Omaha, Dec 2s-Eddie MCGEE, alias
Burns, alias Ralston, the notorious lead
er in the Beal's kidnapping at Kansas
City six years ago, and who served sew
en- years in the penitentiary for a crime
committed nine years ago and a term in
the Joliet prison. for another offense is
now wanted by the police as the dark
complexioned man" in the Cudahy alb
duction MCGEE is well known in Kan
sas City, Denver and in Illinois cities
and is also known to be a friend of Pat
Grove.
The fact that the abduetors told young
Cudahy ne was wanted as Eddie Nc
Gee for stealing $500 from his aunt, is
considered significant. McGee's criminal
record is a long one and he is alleged
to have had hand in at least three alb
ductions. His description fits fairly well
that of the man seen in company with
Grove. His aliases have been numer-
Gus and thera is some doubt as to his
real name. He is said to have been mar
ried three times without securing a di-
vorce from his former wives. At present
he has wife living in South Omaha
known as Lizzie Burns, whom the police
have been looking for as a late compan-
ion of Grove.

GIVEN A GOLD BRICK.
Statue of Pere Marquette in the Cap
itol q Rank Copnterfeit

New York, Dec. 29-According to the
Washington correspondent of the
Herald. the statue Of Pere Marquette.
in the statuary hall in the capitol. about
which there was almost a religious war
a few years ago. turned out not to be
the statue of Pere Marquette at all.
This statue was presented to the ma
tion by the state of Wisconsin. Objec-
tons were raised to its installation in
the capitol by persons of other than
Catholic denomination and for many
months the authorities hesitated as to
what they should do. They finally gave
Pere Marquette q place with other
prominent men.
A discovery has now been made of an
oil painting of Marquette in Montreal,
which indicates that the statue is as far
from being an accurate representation
of the famous priest as day is from
night. The painting in Montreal, it is
said, is undoubtedly authentic and was
SO covered with dust that no outline of
the portrait could be had until it had
undergone a careful cleaning.
1t is believed that this painting is the
only likeness of Marquette in existence
and the face in oil IS not the face OF the
Marquette in marble at the capitol.

A. CHRISTIAN CRUSADE.
Opening of Century Will Be Signal
For Concerted Church Action.

Chicago, Dec 29-The Record says:
The Rev. Johnston Myers of the Inrnan-
uel Baptist church has just finished a
canvass of the principal churches of his
denomination in the state of Illinois.
The canvass was to show the sentiment
of the churches in regard to a revival.
The committee, of which the Rev. Mr..
Myers is chairman, held meetings at
Springfield, Bloomington, Galesburg,
Carthage, Rock Island, Upper Alton,
Champaign, Aurora and Joliet, and
with these towns as centers plans were
laid to institute simultaneous revival
services in every Baptist church in the
commonwealth.
This canvass of Illinois by the com
nittee. however, reused even more en-
thusiasm than was expected. Not alone
were the Baptist churches in Illinois
prepared for the Christian crusade but
the Baptist churches of Iowa. and Wis
consin asked permission to join and the
number of churches in the movement
was nearly trebled The national COM
mittee of Baptist denomination in New
York then recommended that all
churches throughout the country join
in the movement. AS result the move
ment has assumed national Importance
and marks it is asserted, the greatest
concerted revival in the history of the
Baptist denomination. Nearly every
Baptist church in the country will hold
a watch night service New Years even
ing, participate in the interdenomina-
tional week of prayer and January Is
will start an organized revival work.
41G RleInOQ1SES are LOOKING FORWARD
to the watch night and revival services
with more than ordinary interest, and
the COngregat Presbyterians
and others are planning to do their
share in the work. Christian Endeav-
orers, at the suggestion of DR.. F. E.
Clark, the head of the society. are pray
ing for the cause. The Z. NJ. C A, the
Epworth League, the Kings Daughters,
the Red Cross society and the Christian
societies Of the colleges are also plan
ming to revive Christian interest with
the opening of the new century.
The services in all the local churches
tomorrow viii forecast the work that is
coming. All the Methodist pastors will
preach on matters pertaining to the new
century and New Years day in all the
Sunday services. The Baptists will en-
deavor to have their services open the
way for their great revival planned for
their denomination.

RED TAPE SAVED HIM.
c. A. Link Drew His Beer Through a
Hose.

c. A. Link was arrested last night at
611 North Kansas avenue at Mat Cave )
place, where it is charged he was selling
liquor.
The police met a new dodge at the.
place and the dodge saved the jointiss
his beer Since the search and seizure
ordinance was declared void the police
have not been able to take anything
from the joints except the liquor they
find in the room. The frequent raids
bother the joints, not because they are
afraid of being guilty, but because they
lost the beer and beer pumps. Link got
around this by putting the beer keg in
the basement and connecting it with the
faucet upstairs by a rubber tube. All
the police found when they entered the
place was the rubber tube. They knew
that it connected with keg in the base
ment and they wanted that keg, but
they had 40 warrant to enter the base
ment; the warrant read on the first floor
of building at Gil North Kansas avenue
In the future they will have to make
their warrants read for the entire build
ing and maybe for adjoining buildings,
for there is no limit to the rubber tube
