M'LAIN's ENLIGHTENMENT
Now Amount to $4,000 and One of
the Partners Ruined.

Parsons, April 1.-THE amount Of
the McLain embezzlement from the Ma
tional Mill and Elevator company con-
tinues to grow. At first it was placed at
less than 81 900, but now It is admitted
to be fully ST. 900. McLain, while NOM
inally a salesman and collector for the
company, was allowed to run the bust
ness of the firm about as he pleased.
To cover his defalcations he made false
entries on the books and forged the
notes of customers.
Numerous car loads of flour and other
nlillstuffs shipped out on pretended or
ders and consigned to regular customers
Of the company were rebilled by him to
commission houses and sold for cash to
get ready money to take care of the
forged paper he had put in circulation
and to account for money misappropri-
ated Collections from one source were
credited to another to cover previous
defalcatiOnS, until finally his dishonest
transactions became so numerous and
involved that he lost track of them and
exposure followed.
AIcLain admits the charges against
him and is here under guard, assisting
his former employer to straighten out
the almost inextricable tangle in their
accounts What McLain did with the
money is a mystery. The only state
ment he will make in regard to the mat
ter is that he don't know what became
of it," All that can be accounted for
is a few hundred dollars sunk in a
small general store at Savonburg, Kan,
and 81. 900 or $1,000 paid or loaned to his
brothers. He had no bad habits, lived
quietly and economically, and during
the period of his stealings his wife was
working as an operator in the local
telegraph office.
His Savonburg stock was turned over
by him to the mill company and has
been partly sold by them. H. H Brown,
manager of the mill and a partner in the
business, loses in the crash everything
but his home. The other partner, II. D.
Mirick of Washington, D. c., is a man
of large means and can easily bear his
share of the losses.

COAL FAMINE.
Germany and Russia Suffering Fro
q Shortage.

Washington. April I.-Information has
been furnished the state department rela-
tive to the existence of serious coal IA
mines in Russia and Germany.
Consul General Guenther at Frankfort.
writes that never before in the history
of Germany has there been such a de-
mand upon the coal production of the
country as at present. Notwithstanding
the fact that last years output was
four million tons in excess of
the preceding years supply, the
amount on hand is entirely inadequate to
meet the ever increasing demand. The
minister of commerce has sent an inquiry
to the coal mine owner of upper Silesia.
asking whether the coal production could
be increased by establishing a greater
number of shafts at the mines and
surfing them of state aid if such be the
case
In Russia about the same conditions ex-
ist as to the scarcity of COAL the supply
being enormously large, but still not
large enough. The extension of the rail-
ways and the increased industrial activity
in Russia. account in large measure for
the condition but the undeveloped state
of the coal mining industry itself also
plays an important part in the situation.
The abolition of duties on foreign coal
and coke has been urged as a remedy but
this the authorities declare to be out of
the question.
American coal is very much in demand
in Austria, France, Japan, the Neither
lands and in Russia and our consuls at
various points in these countries are be-
sieged with inquiries looking to the ex-
tensive Importation of the American orp-
