Former KenOsha Insurance Man Dis
appears Under Suspicious Cir
cumstances From Waukegan.
AND FUNDS OF COMPANY MISSING
superintendent of the Prudential Company
ployed Finds Shortage OF $500.
(From Thursdays Daily

Frank Mi11en, we'll known young
man of the town of Brighton and a
former agent for the Prudential Insur-
ance company, is missing from Wau-
kegan where he was the assistant SUI
perintendent for the company. Added
to the disappearance of the man the
| District Superintendent thinner, when
| he visited that city "Wednesday found
the Office of the company locked up
and some three hundred dollars of the
funds of the company unaccouuted
| for.
Millen has been missing since last
Friday evening, when he was seen to
board train for Chicago. 1t is sup
posed that he took the money that is
not accounted for aud unless he re
turns at once and makes good the
shortage, the superintendent of the
company will prefer charges of en-
| bezzlement against him.
The downfall of Millen will cause
surprise and regret in Kenosha. For
some time the young man mingled
| with the best known people of this
city, and was received freely in society.
It seems that he has been very sue
cessful in his business at Waukegap
from three to five hundred dollars a
week. The uperintendent found the
books all right a week ago and if
| Mil1en has EN- bezzled the funds Of the
company it puld be impossible for
him to have taken more than the re-
ceipts for one week.
1t is stated by one of the agents of
the company that $3.50 was paid in on
last Friday evening just before Millen
left the town, and if that is true the
man probably took this with him.
He seems to be we'll supplied with
money and if he is attempting to get
away from the eagle eye of the com
pany he should have no trouble in
reaching distant point.
While in charge of the Kenosha Of
fee of the company Millen had good
reputa ton and always paid up the re-
ceipts to the company regularly. There
was never the least suspicion of his
| honesty raised. It is alleged that since
he left'Kenosha he had .been drinking
and had been leading a pretty fast
life. The matron in charge of the
building inv which he had his Offices at
Waukegan stated that he was behind
IN his rent, and that he had been
drunk most of the time for the week
before he left Waukegan. She finally
managed to force him to pay the rent
due for the Office.
It is reported that the company will
not make any extended efforts to To-
cate Millen at this time, but will await
his return to his home. If he returns
he will be arrested on charge of ap-
propriating the funds of the company.

Lava Remains Hot.

The lava streams from the eruption
of Vesuyius in 1858 were so hot twelve
years later that steam issued from
their cracks and crevices. Those that
flowed from Etna in 1887 were found
to be steaming hot just below the crust
as late as 1910. The volcano Jorullo,
in Mexico, poured forth in 1850 lava
that eighty-seven years later gave off
columns of steaming vapor. In 1880
it was found that a stick thrust into
the crevices instantly ignited, although
no discomfort was experienced in
walking on the hardened crust.-De-
troit Free Press.

Iron is a strengthening medicine
when given in an assimilable form.
But many stomachs refuse it, how
ever it may be manipulated by the
druggist or mingled in the mineral
spring by the hands of nature. A
new means has been found for rem
dering it generally assimilable, name
1y, by mixing citrate of iron in the
food of hens. After this has been done
for about month the yolk of the egg
becomes rich in iron, and the most
delicate stomach can digest it. The
dose for each hen is eighty MILL
grammes of citrate of iron day.

Fire Department is Called to the Residence
of Nicholas Herman.
The fire department was called out
at nine O'Clock Thursday evening on
account of fire which broke out in
the smoke house on the property of
Nicholas Hermann, on Broad street.
On account of the high wind that was
blowing it was feared that any FIRE
might result seriously, but the mem
bers of the department found that the
fire had been extinguished when they
reached the scene of the trouble. The
fire originated from barrel in which
a number of hams had been placed lor
smoking. The loss from the fire was
about twenty-five dollars.
Ia running to the fire the drivers of
the fire apparatus took great chances,
there being not a single street light
burning but all the men managed to
reach the fire without accident.
