MOLINE

Not Seeking Edwards.-Little bills
contracted by ]. C. Edwards, the miss
ing East Moline tea man, still con-
tinue to bob up and the amount of
losses sustained by people who were
"bittdh" continues to grow little
every hour 1t is not known where
Edwards has gone, and no one seems
to care, now that he is gone. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that when Edwards
called Canada on the long distance thai
he did so in order to cause people to
think he was going there. 1t is thought
that he may not be far away, for in
going any great distance it would cost
him more than he got out of East Mo
line 1t is also believed that Edwards
was not ready to leave the city until
he had sold number of shares and
made a larger haul, but owing to cir
cumstances which arose he became
frightened and left in a hurry.
Twenty-Five Year Jewel for Hun
toon.-George H. Huntoon was the vic
tim of a surprise Tuesday evening
when he was presented with a 25-year
knights of Pythias jewel as a social
session in K. P. hall under the aus
pieces of st. George lodge. Mr.. Hun
toon is the only remaining charter
member of st. George lodge, and little
did he suspect the surprise that was in
store for him when he promised to at
tend the gettogether meeting.
New Gas Plant Plans.-Eastern cap
italists interested financially in the
public utilities of the three cities and
suburbs spent the greater part of
Tuesday in this city in company with
General Manager Joseph F. Porter,
who took them through the gas and
power plant at the foot of Fourth
street, and discussed with them pro-
posed plans for improving this equip
ment.
Implement Dealers Come. - Imple-
ment dealers are beginning their an
nual pilgrimages to Moline for visits
at the local factories. where they gain
an insight into methods of manufac-
ture and see in the sample rooms the
latest models in farm machines.
w. A. ReId's Father Dies.-A. A.
Reid, a retired farmer, died at his home
in Cambridge Monday morning He
was 81 years of age. He was the faith
er of w. A. Reid of 1901 Fifteenth
street in this city.
Postpone Building Till sprlng.-The
erection of the proposed Salem Luth-
eran church will not be taken up till
next spring. Decision to this effect
was reached by the entire church mem
bership at a meeting held in the pres
ent chapel Monday evening. Original
plans provided for taking up the build
ing of a new house of worship this
fall. but so much time was required
to take care of the financial end that
the members have agreed it is now too
late in the season to make it advisable
to break ground till winter has given
place to spring. The sentiment was
unanimously in favor of delaying work
till spring. The present chapel at the
corner of Twelfth street and Eigh-
teenth avenue will be used till the new
church can be erected on the site some
time ago secured at the corner of
Fourteenth-and-a-half street and Eigh-
teenth avenue This will allow the
building committee ample time in
which to raise additional funds need
ed, either through pledges or negotia-
tiOns of loan from the banks.

CHILD FOR SHORT
Time WITH ITS
MOTHER
Mrs. Estabrook Has Temporary
Possession Of Daughter
AT ATTY. MAURER's OFFICE
Presence of Several Lawyers and on
GERS to Guard Against Any At
tempt at Abduction

The attorneys for Mrs. Nellie Esta-
brook, Charles A. Maurer OF Benning
ton and F. c. Sanford and his assis-
tant of Albany, returned Saturday eve
ming from Rutland and the writ In the
habeas corpus proceedings brought be-
fore Judge e. L. Waterman OF the
Vermont supreme court for the poss-
ession of her three year old daughter,
Leonora, was served by Deputy Sher-
if John Nash upon the father, Ben1a-
min N. Estabrook, late in the evening.
The writ is returnable before Judge
Waterman at Rutland next Wednes-
day. Attorney Maurer stated that
the counsel for Mrs. Estabrook had
thought it best to have the case heard
at Rutland in order that 1t might be
removed from the sphere of local pre-
judices and that the feelings OF the
parties concerned might be racked as
little as possible.
One of the most unusual incidents
of the case took place Sunday FORE
noon. Through an agreement OF
counsel it was arranged that the
child should be with her mother for
period of two hours Deputy Sheriff
Nash took the little girl to the office
of Charles A. Maurer in the Benning-
ton National bank building shortly af-
ter 10 o'clock where the three, the Of
ficer, the child and mother remained
until nearly noon.
Not the slightest opening was left
for an attempted abduction. On the
piazza OF the Putnam house, either sit
ting in the doorways or pacing rest
lessly up and down the board walk
were all the attorneys interested in
the case: o M Barber and his assistant
Robt E. Healy, and States Attorney w
j. Meagher who represent Mr.. Esta-
brook, and Mr.. Sanford and his assis-
tant from Albany and Mr.. Maurer who
are conducting the case in behalf OF
Mrs. Estabrook. The child's father
sat on the settee in front of the court
house and Chief of Police Patrick Bra
were conspicuous in the crowd gath
cred upon the hotel piazza.
Mrs. Estabrook and the child sat In
the open window of Mr. Maurer's Of
fee and the little girl frequently wav-
ed her hand and called to her father
across the square. A large crowd of
curious spectators stood about attrac-
ted by the spectacle and the strang-
ers who came into the village from
over the Bennington and North Ad-
ans electric road gazed in open eyed
and uncomprehending amazement upon
the scene. 1t was impossible for them
to understand why the sight OF q
young woman sitting in an open win
dow with child in her arms should
be the cause of SO much interest anl
there was no reason why they should

OF AN HoNoRED FAMILY
A Short Obituary Sketch of the Late
Edward WaIbridee

Edward Walbridge, son of Stebbins
ID. and Harriet Hicks Walbridge who
died at his home, the old Walbridge
homestead in Bennington Falls on
Saturday, May Is, was well known to
the people of this town and vicinity.
He was born about 7S years ago in
what was then known as Hinsdillville
now Bennington Falls, so named by
Mr.. Walbridge himself. He is surviv-
ed by his daughter, Harriet Hicks
Walbridge; also by two brothers, Col
James H. and Henry S., whose ages,
combined with his own, average over
eighty years. They are descended
from a distinguished ancestry as is
indicated by their almost puritanical
standards of character and their own
sturdy integrity and uprightness. They
have ever been loyal and patriotic cit
liens and during these long years,
have been practically residents of
their native town to whose interests
they have been devoted.
In his young manhood Mr.. Wal
bridge went to California taking at
that time twenty four days for the
journey He spents six years there
and during that time occurred AN ex-
citing period in the history of San
Francisco, and he became member
of the famous Vigilance committee I'M
der the leadership of VIM. T. Coleman.
He spent about six months in British
Columbia at the time of the Fraser
river gold craze.
Returning to his native town Mr..
Walbridge married in 1862, Mary,
daughter of Hon. Benz. r. Sears, and
his married life began in the Wal
bridge Homestead which has never
been out of the family possession.
Mr.. Walbridge was a man of fine
intelligence, keeping himself thorough
ly informed on the leading topics of
the day.
Hospitable, genial and courteous,
with a mind clear, vigorous and iu-
dicial, his intimate friends found rare
enjoyment in discussing with him to-
pics that ordinarily interest only
younger men in the full swing of af
fairs.
A charming trait in his character
was his great love and sympathy ter
animals and every creature on his
farm seemed to know and love him.
A wise counsellor and friend" his
loss will be keenly felt by those who
often sought his advice. as well as by
those closely endeared by love and
friendship
AIS well; which ever side for me
The morning light may break"
The. funeral will be held at his late
home Wednesday afternoon at o.,
clock.

REV. P.L. DOW HERE SUNDAY
The Epworth League Celebrated Its
Twentieth Anniversary in the
Evening.

The last three days have been full
of interest to Methodist church peo-
pie. The banquet Friday evening
given by the ladies of the church,
served by the young ladies in white,
the beautiful decorations, the splen-
did music by Goldsmith orchestra, the
inspiring singing by the Monument
uuartette. the encouraging words OF
the local pastors and friends and the
large contribution to the church
caused Sunday to be anticipated with
unusual interest.
The church was well filled and Rev
p. l.. Dow preached sermon setting
forth the possibilities under the
leadership of pastor who had the
cooperation of his people. He re-
ferred to the good work already ac-
complished during the years past IN
connection with the local church; OF
the subscription made at the banquet
recently and called upon the pastor
TO present the situation. The pas
tor did so in a comprehensive and
clear manner giving the names OF
contributors and amounts subscribed,
after which Mr. Dow gave opportuni-
ty for additional pledges, which were
given so that at the close OF the SER
vice the total amount including the
amount subscribed previously aggre-
gated $960S, which has since been in
creased to $4,000, the last S92 being
given by l.. f. Abbott Monday morn
ing. This provides for little mora
than half enough to finish the church
and pay the debt.
Although Mr.. Brunk has but re-
Gently come to Bennington, yet he
has already strong grasp of the sit
uation, and expressed himself as
greatly pleased at the loyal, liberal
and earnest spirit manifested by the
people of his church, and also refer
red very kindly to the friendliness
and friendship of the community.

organization of the Epworth League
was held in the church Sunday night
