(From 0 Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May 29. (Special.) D. U.
Miller of Itcd Oak will be appointed na
tional bank examiner for Iowa to succeed
tho late General Georgo A. Stone. Mr.
Miller is a civil war veteran, 55 years old,
lawyer, formerly of tho firm of Miller &
Bartholomew of lied Oak. Ho formerly

At tho meeting ot tho Iowa delegation

ral appolntmenta was considered, It wns
decided that there should bo no decision

General Stono was then 111 and not ex
pected to live It was agreed that the ap
pointment of his successor should go to tho
Ninth district. Congressman Smith has
promised tho placo to Mr. Miller mil he
will bo appointed, though tho appointment

Iteturn nn from Dead.
A rcmarknble talo ot the return of a
lost boy conies from Oftumwa. After be
ing gono for seven years, with his paronts
believing him dead, Jacob Webb has re
turned to bis home with a tale that smacks
of an "Arabian Night's" fairy story. Jacob
wan 14 years old when ho went fishing
with a crowd of boys about his own ngo
nnd never returned. His foster mother be
lieved thnt ho had been drowned nnd after
searching for somo time gavo him up with
this Idea. Tho crowd of boys ho was with
returned home, but none of them were
ever ablo to give an Intelligent account
of what becamo ot Jacob. Ho was 11 years
old at the tlmo and strayed nwny to see
tho world, Ho says he was ashamed to
return, but Anally did so, much to tho Joy
of his mother.
IteaponMhlllty of llonil Supervisor.
Tho Iowa uuprcmo court, In a decision In
a case from Pottawattamie county, dis
cussed the question ot tho responsibility
of road supervisors for Injury to persons.
The case was that of Sells against Dcr-
mody. Tho defendant Is a road supervisor
and tho plaintiff was injured by reason of
the bad roads nnd sued for $10,000 dam
ages, The defendant demurred on tho
ground that It was not set out In tho pctl
tlon that tho defendant had been given
notice In writing ot tho bad roads and bo-
causo the neglect was of a Judicial nn-
turo rather than ministerial. Judge Macy
sustained the demurrer and tho court to
day affirmed this decision.
The court holds that a road supervisor
Is ltablo for Injury to porsous by reason
of his neglect of duty. The fact that ho
Is Indictable for neglect, docs not throw
the responsibility back upon the district
or county, nor is tho fact that ho performs
tho duties to somo extent under compul
nlon sufficient to relievo him. But whero
tho duties are Judicial and not ministerial
the officer nuiBt be nllowed latltudo In
determining what should be done. In short.
this was an error of Judgment rather than
a failure to perform a specific duty, henco
(ho demurrer was sustained and the plain
tiff cannot recover.
Another I.llicl Cnne.
In a case from Linn county, that ot Hoi
lenbcclt against Illfltlnc, tho supremo court
affliraed a decision of Judgo Romley In a
suit In which tho plaintiff secured a vcr
diet of damages for $683.33 on account of
tho writing of a letter. Hollcnbcck had
been for many years In tho employ of the
Cedar Uaplds & Marlon Street Railway
company. Rlstlne was tho physician of
tho company. He had a bill for medical
services ot old standing agalnHt Hollcnbcck
and thern was a dispute about Its Justice.
Suit was brought, but not pressed. Then
tho doctor got provoked and wrote to tho
president of tho company, complaining of
tho conduct of Hollenbeck nnd virtually
declaring that unless Hollenbeck was dls
charged the doctor would quit. Afterward,
becauso of tho writing of this letter, tho
employe was discharged, although beforo
that time ho had nettled tho bill. Tho
court holds that although the statements
In tho letter wero true. It was written to
cause the discharge of tho plaintiff and the
doctor should be held liable.
