Central Brakeman, With Funds
For An Injured Brother,
Does Not Report
TRAINMEN FEAR HE is TRICKY
Matter Placed in County Attorneys
Hands and a Warrant Will Be Issued
-. L. Milton, to Whom Was En-
trusted Collection of Funds for Frank
schoffner, Has Disappeared.

| Iowa Central trainmen are rather wor-
Milton, brakeman on the road, to
whom was entrusted the collection of a
fund for Frank Schoffner, Of Grinnell,
| the brakeman who lost hand in this
city about six weeks ago. Milton had
collected about $500, it is thought,
among the railroad boys and merchants
Of the city, and when last seen here
announced his intention of going to Os-
kaloosa to enlarge the subscription and
up since, neither has Mr.. Schoffner re-
ceived the money.
The railroad men are greatly wrought
UP by the matter, and steps at legal &C
ton have already been commenced, in
that County Attorney Northup has been
given the facts, and will have warrant
ISSUED for Milton's arrest.
Milton has been employed on the
Central as brakeman for two years or
so, and has made his home here, in the
south part of town. He is a married
man of about IS. and has a family Of
small children. About six weeks ago, as
a thru freight was leaving the city.
Frank Schoffner, the head brakeman,
fell from the cab of the engine at Sixth
street and lost hand. He was cared
for in this city for few days, or until
he was removed to his home in Grin
nell, where he is now under quarantine.
his children being i'll with scarlet fever
A few weeks ago Milton, who had
waited upon Schoffner more or less
during the few days following his in
jury, conceived the idea Of taking up a
subscription for his injured brother.
The trainmen, and business men as
well, subscribed to the contribution,
and one who saw the list just prior to
the last time Milton was seen here, says
he had collected about 500. When
Milton left the city he said he was going
to Oskaloosa to continue the good
work, and would stop at Grinnell on the
way to give Schoffner what he had al
ready collected.
Nothing has been heard Of Milton
since. and enough time has elapsed to
make those interested in Schoffner's
case somewhat suspicious. Not wishing
to act If it should be proved that Mil
ton was sincere and that there were no
grounds for the suspicious, those who
had decided to take the matter up wrote
Schoffner asking him IL he had seen
Milton. and how much money had been
paid him. Mr.. Schoffner's reply was
received Thursday, and he states that
he has neither seen Milton nor has he
got any of the money. Furthermore
Mr. Schoffner did not know that such
movement was on foot, but 1t was
not intended that he should until the
presentation was made.
If Milton should turn up. he will have
a hard time making satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of his actions. It is thought
he has gone to Peoria.

Nicholas Miller, Foreman For
the Marshall Vinegar Com
pany, Disappears
FOUL PLAY is FEARED
Was Last Seen Thursday Night When
He Left the Works, Supposedly for
His Home-Relatives Fear He Has
Been Foully Dealt With, as He Had
Money on His Person.

The whereabouts of Nicholas Miller,
of 407 South Sixth street, who sudden
ly and mysteriously disappeared Thurs
day night, is causing his wife and fam
lily great anxiety, as they fear he has
met with foul play. When last seen he
was leaving his work about o'clock
of him can be found. Fears are enter
tanned that he has been foully dealt
with. for it is known that during the
afternoon he had check cashed for
$40, and had the greater portion of the
money on his person.
Mr.. Miller is a hard working man and
industrious. Thursday afternoon, about
. o'clock, he visited the place of BUSH
ness of Henry Weber, on South Center
street, and had his check for $40 cashed
paying Mr.. Weber a small account he
held. He then returned to the Marshall
Vinegar Company's works, and finished
up his duties for the afternoon, leaving
there about 6 o'clock. He stated he was
going home, but from that time prac-
tically all trace of him has been lost, al
tho it is reported he was seen about s
o'clock on South Third avenue. This
could not be verified. The police have
been notified but so far nothing has
been heard from the missing man. Mil
ler's sons, Nicholas, sJr., and Joseph,
secured the depot district of the city
this morning in search Of their father.
Or
had every reason to think that some
as he had never been known to be alb
sent from home over night. They do not
think it probable that he left home of
his own will. for they stated he was
dressed in his working clothes, and had
no reason to do so. They also stated
that Mr.. Miller occasionally drank 10
excess, but when he did ne invariably
came home. They are of the opinion
that he may have stopped in one of the
south side saloons after work, and was
followed and slugged by some one VINO
knew of the money he was carrying.
1t has developed later that Miller
was in the Gipps saloon on South Third
avenue twice Thursday night between
z and o'clock. In conversation with
Andy Abbott, the bartender, he stated
he was going away. but refused to say
where. He appeared to be perfectly
sober on both occasions. AT about 81
o'clock he also telephoned his wife. but
she was unable to gather from his
speech where he was. but he said he
was not we'll and thought he was crazy
Altho search was made for him soon
after he telephoneG he could not be
found. 1t is thought that possibly he is
demented, and probably left the city on
the south-bound Great Western train,
which was late and arrived here Short
ly after s o'clock. Up to late hour
this afternoon nothing had been
learned OF his whereabouts.

arHE SPANISH GYPSY"
George EIiots Celebrated Poem Inter.

/
preted Before Twentieth Century
Club.
With an unusual number of invited
guests, the largest Twentieth Century
Club gathering of the season was pleas
antiy entertained Thursday evening at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. B. A. Morgan
| by Miss Katherine Jewell Everts, OF
Boston, in dramatic impersonation Of
George Eliot's' THE Spanish Gypsy"
The program was opened with a vocal
| number by quartet, composed of Mes
DANES Meeker and Morgan and Messrs.
c. e. Patterson and Fs Aubrey Smith.
Mr.. Patterson also sang a solo during
.sae intermission, responding to an en-
core with his sister, Miss Aileen Pat
/ terson, playing the accompaniment.
Miss Everts is a professional in her
art, possessing charming beauty, strong
emotional character, and a pleasing
voice with which to present her imper-
sonations. The romance and extreme
emotion OF a George Eliot novel found
fitting expression in her work, and al
tho she read rapidly for more than an
hour, her voice never grew tiresome to
the audience, as7sS often the case with
readers of eve -nter ability in other
requirements oIathe art. The story was
given in three acts and, while many
tragic parts We're necessarily omitted
enough was read literally, and the
crises so vividly rendered, as to give
one a good conception OF the human
emtions and sociological conditions of
the times and people, portrayed by the
author in her book.
Guests of the club were Mr. and Mrs.
c. E. Patterson, Mr.. and Mrs. f. Aubrey
Smith, DR.. and Mrs. B. f. Kierulff, Mr..
and Mrs. w. T. Crane, Mr.. and Mrs.
James Haskell, Mrs. Margaret Clement,
Misses Nellie Brennecke, Emma and
Tip Inman, Anna and Matena Nelson

ers, OF Analleinl, Cal; Mrs. Manley. of
Grinnell; Miss Lillian Googins. of Chi
cago; Mr.. q. NJ. Hammond, of Oska-
loosa.

TALK OVER CONSOLIDATION.
Sentiment in Taylor Township Favors
Uniting Rural Schools.


One of the most important and en-
joyable meetings In the history of the
S. c. ]. Club, Of Taylor township, was
held Thursday evening at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. George Hunsche. The
clubs meetings are usually held in the
afternoon. but an exception was made
in this instance. in order that the hus-
bands of the club members could be
present.
The subject discussed was the ccnsol-
idation of the schools of Taylor town
ship into one central school, and it oc-
cupied the entire evening. Mrs. A. C.
Thompson acted as leader and had COL
lected statistics from different state
and county superintendents on the sub
ject. which formed the basis for gem
eral discussion. If there were any pres
cnt who do not favor consolidation they
did not make their presence known,
while,on the other hand, sentiment fav-
oring the idea was freely expressed.
The country schools as they are con-
Quoted came In for generous share of
criticism, and the opinion of those pres
ent was that they had refrigerated dur
ing the last decade. One OF tha OBJ
jections raised to the consolidation was
that it would throw a large number of
young women out of employment,
w1ereupon one person remarked that 1t
would not throw out sufficient number
to suit the majority of school patrons.
After discussion Of some length
Mrs. Robert Wilson, president Of the
club, appointed committee of three,
composed of Messrs. Z. c. Wetherbee,
w. H. Arney and w. l. Lybarger, to
further the movement as it deemed
best, promising the hearty support and
cooperation of the club women.
At the close of the discussion an ele-
CANT supper was served by the hostess,
assisted by her sisters, Misses Lena
Kate Estel. and Lola Wilson. Miss
Mile Heinz, of this city, was a guest
of the club and entertained the mem
bers with several piano selections DUR
ing the evening. The Hunsche or
orchestra composed Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hunsche and Mr.. George Estel, also
gave several numbers during the even
ing.
