Ml < ihl .in Woods.
SAUM , Mtcu.Nov. la. Samuel Wilkinson ,
a prominent farmer and alliance man of this
vicinity , was out in the woods with his son ,
14 years old. Each had a shotgun. Their
failure to return Wednesday night caused
fifty men and boys to o.xploro every inch of
the forest. They were horrified on finding
the body of the boy stretched across a log ,
his gun Dy his sida nnd the fun of thu hither
a few foot uwuy. The buys brains were rid
dled with shot in n most fdghttut manner
nnd death must havn boon instantaneous.
The father , however , rould not bo found and
search was continued till noon , when word
was received that Mr. Wilkinson was at
homo. Ho was found twenty miles from
homo bv some acquaintances who brought
him to his Iricnds. Ho was in a crazed con
dition and conln not make himself in
telligible. Ho loved his only son intensely ,
and the theory is thnt the kitlincr was an acci
dent and that the sudden slioek was more
than the father's mind could boar.

that tucro is a conflict of Jurisdiction be
tween Illinois and Iowa ever said strip ,
Iowa claiming thnt the boundary line

while the state of Illinois claims Jurisdiction
to the mlddlo of tuo navigable channel , mak
ing a dilfcrcnco of 71. feet at u point on the

The suit grows out of a long standing legal

to taxes , the brldgo company not only claims
that it is unjustly assessed , but that it Is
compelled to p-iy taxes to Hancock county ,

Ho inada careful inquiries there concerning
the CiUiso of Robert Hay Hamilton's death ,

savs that the ford In Snnko river , vvhoro the

lomo nubllo that W. F. Baird , until recently
vice president nnd manager of the Bank of
Madern , located at Madera , is short in his
accounts to the auount of nearly $100,000.
Balrd , In connection with John Brown , organ
ized the Hank of Madera and what Is known
ns the John Brown colony. The money sent
Halrd by the colonists to develop the land
was used by him In enlarging his private
schemes. As the losses irrcw Balrd began to
"
ssuo forged notes nnd "deposited them In
the place of the money used.
The forgery of checks nnd drafts
followed , and later the overissuing of stock ,
to which ho forced the name of the president
of the bank. Owing to irregularities the
Pacific bank of Snn Francisco nisumod con
trol of the Mddcrn bank In order to fully so-
jure itself against an ovordrait by the Ma-
lera bank of about S'JJ.OOO. Baird departed
aud tbo Pacific bank has remained In chnrgo
since.

the Mud era bank matter and the John Brown
colony In Fivnso countv , said the Madora
bank had been roorganlzod and is now dis
tinct from any connection with the colonv.
His on a safe financial footing now , owing
to prompt action taken by the Pacific bank
nnd its connection with the colony having
ceased , no further complication nuod cnsuo.
The colony lands nro valuable and have
ooen well improved and the Pacific bank

lC\K3\sClTV , Mo. , Nov. 13. The Missouri
river improvement executive committee , ap
pointed by tbo Commercial club , has just
issued n call for a Missouri river improve
ment convention , to bo hold at Kansas City
on tlio 15th and 10th days of Uecombor. The
call 1 $ accompanied with n report of a special
committee to the Commercial club on the
commercial value of the Missouri river ,
which makes a comparison of railway rates
in the north central states , tno northwestern
states and the southwestern states ; and
from thcso makes a calculation of the tonnngo
movement of Ib'JO , which shows that , the
northwestern states paid $17OJOOJO and the
southwestern states $ ! SOi',000 ( ) moro than
they would have paid nt the rale of the
north contra ! states. The Missouri river pen
etrates the southwestern nnd northwestern
states , and It improved would .SCCIIIM to them
as low rat us as tlio north central and contr.il
states , and effect u saving on the tonnage
movement of each year.
Tlio principal advantage urged for the im
provement is , however , that the water rule
on tbo cnenp product * of the country would
rejuco the transportation on the productions
on which the people dopiind for prosperity.
Grain can bu carried on the Missouri river

would take the Mississippi river route nt , a
coil shown to lie eiitiul to ll1 cents to the
seaboard , as ngnlnst rutos of _ i to "r > cents ,
which mo now bolng paid. A calculation of
the saving at half this llguro on the crop
products of 18) ! ) would equal f&l.OJO.OOO.
which Is ever four tlmo-i ilia entire erst of
tlui proposed improvement.
The object of the convention is to sccuro
continuous appropriations so that the work
