The supreme court of Iowa reversed the
Judgment of the lower court in the case OF
The State VS.. NJ E. Billings. The defendant
was tried for the killing of County Attorney
W. S. Kingsley of Waverly, convicted OF MUIR
der in the second degree and sentenced for lfe
He appealed upon several grounds, the chief
one being that the court and county were I'M
duly prejudiced against him; that his motion
for change of venue was refused, and as a
result he was deprived of fair trial The
supreme court sustains this view, reverses the
Judgment and remands the case for new
trial. Billings is now serving out his SEN

Himself in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Special Telegram, May Is.
The guests of the Lafayette hotel were
startled at midnight last night by pis-
tot shot which echoed through the cor
ridora of the hostelry A night wath-
man who was on duty at the time also heard
tho report and following the direction from
which noise came, assembled to stairs to the
fourth floor and burst open the dour of a
toilet ROOM On the floor laid fashionably
dressed man, apparently sixty years of
age with bullet wound in his temple He
was dead. Beside the body lay a revolver of
the bulldog pattern. He had registered an
hour before, signing his name as A. Ander-
son of New York. To-day Gen. Mer-
rili and John G. Anderson of New
York identified the dead man as Gen.
Adna Anderson, Henry Wizards right-hand
anan in the construction of the Northern Pa
cifc railroad. Young Mr.. Anderson said his
father had left his home in Sing Sing last
Sunday to fill an engagement with Gen.
Merrill. About a year ago the general

and finally developed into brain trouble His
family noticed that the ailment was growing
on him but were helpless to countesact its

of any business troubles He said he be-
lieved his father to have been insane at
tine time of the shooting Gen.
Merrill stated that he had noticed
indications of mental derangment in his
friend during the past year. He would at
times place his hand to his head in an absent
sort of way, and during conversation would
talk about irrelevant matters.
New YORK. Special Telegram, May 49,
Gen. Anderson's home proper was at Sing
Sing. where with mis- wife and several grown
up children he occupied a handsome
country residence. The family had. for
for fifteen years past, stopped at the
Everett house IN Union square when visiting
this city, which happened frequently.
The report that he had been on a spree
surprised his friends who had known
him to be steady drinker, but had
never before heard of his being visibIy
agected by his Indulgence. None Of them
had ever heard of his being in difficulties. or
of his being engaged in speculations
of any kind, though they acknowledged
that such might have been Inc
case without their knowing anything
about it, TO them the cause of his suicide
was mystery. Among his family is so Il
who assisted him in his Office in this CITY.

CONTRADICTIONS.
rhe Railroad Problem,

Tothe Editor ofthe JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Now that the legislature is in the biennial railroad ''soup" once more, there are certain laws which might be advantageously passed before it shakes itself out. Take your choice, gentlemen. 1st. ''No railroad shall hereafter be built parallel to road now in existence within ten miles of said existing road, except by said road and for the pur- pose of improving it's powers of transporta- tion." The latter clause is to give existing roads necessary power to straighten and shorten lines.
 2d. "Any director of railroad operating in, or speculating with, the securities of the road, either directly or indirectly, in his own name. or in the name of another, shall be guilty of misdemeanor and imprisoned for not less than two years, and his entire per- sonal and real estate shall be held liable for any and all depressions in the value of the securities of the road occurring during the pendepcy of his dictatorship" I want to make it as pleasant as possible for specu- lating directors.
 3rd "No person holding any of the mort- gage bonds or other evidences of indebted ness of a railroad shall be eligible to the po- sition of a director" The fundamental in terests of mortgagor and mortgagee are op- posite and must not be merged. A large

OKLAHOMA.


 There seems to be 8 general misunder- standing, or lack of understanding, of the Oklahoma matter. Some facts concerning it will help to make it clear.
 In 1866, soon after the close of the civil war, the federal government, uncertain what to do with the freedmen-not then having decided to keep them in the South and use them fer Republican voters-fnally decided to colonize them in Indian territory. To this end it negotiated separately with the Chero- kees. the Creeks, the Chickasaws and the Chootaws-the civilized tribes-for the pur- chase from each of them of portion of their territory. From the Cherokees the govern ment agreed to take all the land lying west of the ninety-si1th degree and strip run ming along the north border of Indian terri tory, eighty miles wide, and which had been retained by the Cherokees to secure an outlet to the hunting regions lying west of the ter- ritory.
 From the Creeks the government negotiat- ed the west half of their country, and from the Choctaws and Chickasaws all of their country west of the ninety-ei degree of longitude, and from the Seminoles small slip which adjoined the other lands. The area thus negotiated for is about three hundred miles in length by about two hundred and ten in width. In each instance the purchase was made on the ground that the new terri tory should be used for the settlement of freedmen and friendly Indians. The entire acreage of the purchase amounts to about fourteen million acres. Except in the case of the Greeks, no portion of the price agreed on has been paid by the government. The Creeks received small payment at the be- ginning of the deal.
 From this it appears that Oklahoma has not been paid for, nor has it been used for the purpose for which it was sold. Therefore the lands still belong to their original own- CTS, and are not open to sale or pre-emp- tion

the purpose, it was supposed, of depositing the notes in her boot, according to the grace full custom of many country customers. But after subiecting the notes to close and rath- CT suspicious scrutiny, she got off her stool and handed them again to the teller, 'sI don't want 'em," she explained, "Pve got no place to keep 'em in at home. Why if was to have 'em in the house, Jim-that's my boy in the trsde-he'd have lem away from me rigHeoff, bless him! I only wanted to be sure could get them any time I liked" And she depart ed, fully satisfied with the success of the ex- pertinent.
 'any of the sayings-pank depositors cannot <. their names, in which case they make the, mark, and note of their personal ap- bearance is entered in the ledger. Mistakes sometimes occur here, as, for example, when young man found himself described, much to his disgust, as having prominent hair and black teeth" Another was entered as Ca small boy" and the description was transfer red from ledger to ledger by successive clerks, until, at the age of thirty, the depositor ap- peared to claim his accumulated savings, and found difficulty in getting the money because he ssdid not answer to the description"
 "Mary Ambrose is evidently aware of the necessity for clearly proving her indentity, for when she writes to withdraw her savings, she is careful to sign herself, "Mary Am- brose, wife of James Ambrose, plumber and painter Erie City, Penn, and sister of Wil- HAIL " yer, DldChSlAlGu, OIaAO4OsuIS, 1uS~ land.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Molloy is 8 well-known wis., itor of the same department. She is frequent ly the worse for liquor when she appears to transact her business. On one occasion she wanted to draw $75 without taking the pre- liminary step of depositing them. A some what stormy interview with the ledger ensued, which ended in her taking her departure, at the threat of ringing for the police. The next day she appeared again and informed him she had found the missing money. "To think, she cried, ''that I should have accus- ed gintleman like you of robbing a poor old woman of her savings! I'd loike foine to do you bit of koindness, just to make up. Now, wouldn't you"-very persuasively- sscome round to our little place and taste the case of whiskey my husband found on the wharf last night2"
 The day after that on which her husband died-he had 'found" more whiskey than his constitution would stand-she called up- on us again; "Yea," she said sadly, "he's gone. Poor Mike. He was 8 good man." Then brightening up, ske added: "But any way, I'm all right; for, do you see, there's Ted dy Rooney down in Kittle Dublin dead-broke on me, and needn't be widdy day long CT than like" With which cheering refec- tion she took her leave.

From a Canadian Bank Clerks Nots

From the Chambers's Journal.l

The business of banking is generally regard ed and quite rightly-as very serious one. The most enthusiastic member of the profes. sion will hardly assert that it offers much scope for the display of wit and humor Yet here too 'the eye sees what it looks forn; and even bank clerk bent on discovering an 6. musing incident to enliven his monotony oi business hours, will occasionally find one-in Canada, at least. The writer cannot answe, for the mother country.
 Who, for example, could help feeling grateful to the unconscious humorist who writes:
 DEAR BANK-Pleas find enclosed % dollars, the amt of My note to The note is Due Nov. 3, but I send the money to days a head, as am awfully afrade of Banks.-Pleas send the Note to yours truly,

 The writer of the above frankly confesses his mistrust of our profession. But many of our correspondents display gratifying con- fidence in our goodwill aud energy. Among these is the country farmer who wishes to dis pose of twelve pounds of salt codfsh, and who writes to request the biggest bank in Montreal to conduct the transaction for him. Another equally con6ding countryman desires to invest in ten pounds of maple sugar through the seme medium.
 Among the doubters is the old lady who presented herself the other day at the savinos- pank department with demand tor the SiOC she had recently deposited. She received the money, and forthwith retired to a seat for
