Smooth Colored CRATER Collects
Money For Negro Mission
airy Society
ARRESTED BEFORE HE ESCAPED
Negro Giving the Name Of Rev. George
b. Perkins Arrested for Soliciting
Money by False Prstsnsss- One Firm
Give. $40 and Another Donates IS
to The Cause.

A negro giving the name OF Rev.
George D. Perkins, and claiming to
be representing a colored Baptist Mis-
sionary society, was busy among the
uptown merchants Saturday soliciting
funds for the cause In at least two
instances he was successful, and from
the amount of money found on him
when arrested the superstition is his
solicitation at other places was not
without results.
Before he had left town, and while
he was headed for the depot, the negro
was arrested by Deputy Marshal Mi
chael Clark. When locked up $96.76
was found in his clothes. At least SIS
Of this amount was secured here. From
the Mcbride & Will Drug Company
he obtained check tpr $40. and he
fieeced N. H. Hovey, superintendent Of
the Marshalltown Light, Power and
Railway Company, out OF S.. When
Perkins was at the Mcbride & Will
store he showed what he claimed to
be q subscription list with the names
OF Let's. Fletcher Company on it for
$40, and e. r. Lay for $40. The negro
never visited the grocery company al
all, and 1t is presumed that the sigma
lures on the list were forgeries to make
the way easier for taking other SUBJ
scriptions.
Perkins represented himself to be
vested with authority from q Baptist
missionary society. and he carried a
document purporting to be credentia,
from the society. The document APP
pears to be forgery.
Soon after Perkins began his work
information reached some Of the lead
Ing members Of the local colored Bap-
fist church. Deputy Marshall Clark
started on his trail, but did not run
him down until during the afternoon.
Attic searched the subscription paper
was not found.
{ Perkins claims to be from Marysyille,
N. c.. and says he came here from Chi
cago Saturday morning. He processes
to be lecturer, and the money he
had he says was obtained by lectur-
ing. Perkins is undeniably an ex-
tremely Smooth and persuasive ne
gro. The 'talk'' he put up at the
places where he visited was of such a
kind as to make those feel who were
asked that they should give.
Perkins will probably be In the po-
lice court late this afternoon.

A NOTABLE ENGAGEMENT.
Francis MacmiIlen, the violinist At
tho Odeon Tomorrow.
Few famous violinists have been re-
ceived by the critics and public alike
with the unusual cordially that has
greeted Francis Macmillen since his
arrival from Europe just previous to
his New York debut at Carnegie hall
with the New York Symphony Orches-
ira, the first days of last December
Since then he has appeared turnout the
country, and will be heard here to-
morrow evening at the Odeon theater.
In all the great musical centers he has
been greeted by vast audiences. and
without exception the critics have pro-
nounced him the peer OF any of the
younger masters OF the bow, and GER
tainly the greatest American violinist
Of. all time.
+ His latest triumphs have been in
Chicago. The western metropolis re-
ceived him In manner that has only
been duplicated by Jan Kubelik, the
celebrated Bohemian violinist. Mac
millen's Chicago debut at Orchestra
hall recalled forcefully the young Boz
hemian's debut at the Auditorium sew
eral years ago.
It Is Of great local interest that the
young genius OF the bow should have
been given such rousing reception at
Burlington last Friday evening. The
following extract from the Hawk Eye
is proof Of Macmillen's great powers:
Francis Macmillen, Americas vio-
lin virtuoso, made his first appearance
In. Burlington last evening. Having
seen and heard Francis Macmillen,
Burlington has taken him to her heart,
the last lingering doubt has vanished,
and she will swear by him and remain
loyal to him to the end"
