FAIR SLAYER GUILTY.
Jury in Jessie Morrison Case Renders
Verdict Against Younu Woman,

Eldorado, Kan. June 30.--Miss Jes-
sic Morrison was found guilty OF muir
der In the third degree for the killing.
OF Mrs. Olin Castle. 1t took the jury
twelve hours to agree upon a verdict,
and the final decision was unaccom-
panied by any suggestion regarding
punishment. The young woman will
probably be sentenced early next
week. and ii is expected that her coun-
sci will then make another desperate
attempt to have the case appealed
once more.
This was Miss Morrison's third trial.
Her first trial was fought bitterly and
resulted in disagreement of the jury.
On the second trial she was found
guilty of manslaughter and sentenced
to Imprisonment for five years. After
two months in the penitentiary she
was released on bail. her appeal hav-
ing been granted by the state supreme
court. which decided last February
that she was entitled to another trial.
Self defense was the plea, and Miss
Morrison was confident that she would
be acquitted. She came into court
this morning accompanied by her aged
father. II. M. Morrison. formerly cir
cult Judge, and her brother Hayward.
When the foreman announced the ver-
LIct she threw herself upon her faith
er's breast, and the two wept convul-
sively. She said later that the only
reason of her conviction lay in the
hostility of the Judge presiding.

HUBBARD ESTATE LIABLE.
Fortune of the Late Judge Subject to
Inheritance Tax.

Des Moines, June 27.-The estate OF
the late Judge N. NJ. Hubbard of Ced.
ar Rapids has been reported to the
state treasurer as subject to the col
lateral inheritance tax of the state.
Only small portion of the estate is
taxable during the life of Judge Hub
bard's widow. After her death, when
the estate is divided, two-fifths will
go to the two sons-in-law of the judge,
G. w. Barton and John w. Nye, both
collateral heirs. This amount will be
subject to the five per cent collateral
inheritance tax.
At present the judges law library
which is valued in the neighborhood
of 100000, is subject to the tax. That
is, one-half of the library will be as
sessed as only one-half went to col.
lateral heirs. The library was left to
Nat Hubbard, Jr., the son and direct
heir of the diseased, and to his part
ner, F. f. Dawley, OF Cedar Rapids.
The latter's half interest is subject to
the five per cent tax. A bequest of
two horses from the Judge to Charles
Z. Wheeler who bore no relation to
deceased, is also reported as subject
to the five per cent tax. The value Of
these horses is not given.
In fact no figures whatever were sub
mitted to the treasurer by the county
attorney of Linn county, the report
being simply Q statement of facts as
to the collateral inheritance. Judge
Hubbard's estate, excluding his law
library, has been valued at about
100000. The assessment of two
fifths of this, which eventually will
go TO collateral heirs, means a clear
gain of from $4,000 to $4,000 to the
state. The library valued at 100000
will yield tax of $3.50.

DYNAMITE UNDER DRUG STORE.
Building Wrecked and Stock Damaged
Motive Unknown.

Ottumwa, June 2S-For some mys-
terioas reason which no one, either
through fear or disinclination, will re-
veal, a charge of dynamite was placed
beneath the drug store Of the Hamii-
ton Drug company, owned by j. H.
Williams, of Hamilton, a little town
about twenty-five miles west of Ottum-
wa. About 3 O'Clock a. m. the charge
was exploded. tearing a great hole out
of the glass front of the building and
wrecking the show cases and doing a
considerable amount of other damage,
inflicting loss estimated by Mr.. viii
liams at from 500 to $3.50.
Great indignation is manifested by
the people of that place over this ex-
hibition of lawlessness, and ii seems
that through fear there is no attempt
made by the people of Hamilton to
name the parties of the gang that per
petrated this act. Several times dur
ing the last decade attempts have
been made to fire or destroy by explo-
sion different buildings. Mr.. Williams
has been in business in Hamilton for
the past two years. having resided for
several years previous at Eddysville.
and has always been known as a
peaceful and loyal citizen and the
reason for this attack upon him is n
matter of the greatest mystery to the
people of that place.

GOVERNOR ON TARIFF.
Mr.. cuMMINS ISSUES A STATE.
MENT OF HIS VIEWS ON
SUBJECT.
Hopes Republicans Will Readlust De
cIarations of Last Years
Platform.

Des Moines, June Ex-Governor
Cummins has authorized a statement
of his views on the tariff question and
with respect to the declaration which
the republican state convention of July
Both should make. He hopes that the
convention will readopt the plank of
last years platform treating of tariff
and trusts. The governor said:
THE platform of last year declared
that We stand by the historic policy of
the republican party in giving protec-
ton to hone Industries, and point for
its ample vindication to the eXtraor-
binary rapidity with which our nation
al resources have been developed and
our industrial and financial indepen.
dence secured. We favor such changes
in the tariff from time to time as be-
come advisable through tne progress
of our industries aond their changing
relations to the commece of the world
We indorse the policy of reciprocity
as the natural compliment OF protec.
ton, and urge its development as
necessary to the realization of our
highest commercial possibilities. That
we assert the sovereignty of the PEG.
pie over all corporations and aggre.
cations of capital, and the right re-
siding in the people to enforce such
regulations, restrictions or prohibitions
upon corporate management as will
protect the individual and society from
abuse of the power which great com.
binations OF capital WELD. We favor
such amendment of the interstate CON-
merce act as will more fully carry out
it's prohibition of discrimination IN
ratemaking, and any modification of
the tariff schedules that may be re.
quired to prevent their affording shelf
er to monopoly.
This is the best expression of the
republican position on trusts and tar
if | have ever seen. 1t was writteh,
as ! have been informed, by George
Z. Roberts. who Is equally distinguish
ed for his clear conception of political
principles as for the forcible way in
which he defines them 1t was ap-
proved. as ! have been told, by Presi-
dent Mckinley. and was adopted with.
out dissenting vote by the largest re.
publican convention ever held in Iowa.
| sincerely that the convention to as
semble July Both will declare exactly
the same thoughts, for | believe that
the position that the republicans of
Iowa have been holding under the Ce.
dar Rapids platform is unassailable.'

MRS. HossAcK RELEASED.
Goes to Live with Her Son-in-Law
Near Medora.

Indianola. June 27.-Mrs. Mar
saret Hossack left her prison cell in
the county jail, and went to the home
of her son-in-law, Z. f. Henry, in
Squaw township, near Medora.
A week or ten days ago Judge Gam.
BILE ordered her release upon $4,000
bonds on account of her poor health.
The bond has just been filed and Mrs.
Hossack was let out of the county
jail upon an order Of the county
clerk.
Twenty-one persons signed the
bond Practically all of them are
farmers of Squaw and Virginia town
ships in the southwestern corner of
the county where the Hossacks re.
sided. Their combined wealth
amounts to more than 100000 so that
the bond is entirely secure. There is
no probability, however, that Mrs.
Hossack will attempt to escape.
or the persons who signed the bail
bond about half were witnesses for
the state in the trial year ago.
Mrs. Hossack's sickness is said not
to have been so severe as at first re-
ported. and her life is not in danger.
According to present indications, she
will be tried at the September term
of court which begins on the End OF
that month; Judge j. II. Applegate,
of Guthrie Center, presiding.

GAS AT ANkENY.
People of That Town Excited by the
Discovery.

Des Moines. June ga flow of ma.
tural gas, sufficiently large to send a
blaze ten feet into the air when ignit-
ed was struck on lot owned by Sam
uel Allen of Ankeny, fifteen miles
north of here. Jack Dahl a well
driller, residing at Carlisle, was hor.
ribly burned about the head and face
when attempting to ignite the flow.
and now lies in a critical condition
from the injuries. Ankeny is in a
feverish state of excitement over
what is believed to be a permanent
flow of gas and already plans have
been proposed with view to drilling
deeper and storing the product for
commercial purposes.
The fact that the flow was discov-
cred in the immediate locality Of the
Allen property some two months ago
indicates that there is gas in large
quantities there and will undoubtedly
development. The Allen property
lies on the south side of the town not
three blocks from the business center.
Wei, drillers from Carlisle were en-
ployed 10 drill well on the place and
reached depth of about forty feet
when the odor of gas was detected.
The drill was sunk deeper and the
odor increased. Finally Dahl lighted
some shayings, threw them at the
surface of the hole when a blaze ten
feet in height leaped into the air. In
the excitement of Is injuries the
blaze was smothered.

RATHBoNE ASKS EXAMINATION
Petitions Congress for an Investigation
of His Administration.

bone, who was formerly director gen
eral of posts of Cuba and was con.
victed in Cuba on charges involving
maladministration of his office has
petitioned congress to order con
Cressional investigation OF all his acts
in Cuba. The petition is based on
allegations that the proceedings which
led to his conviction were not judicial.
but were special and irregularly con.
oucted ex parte evidence was ad-
mitted in the absence OF the petitioner,
and the trial court refused TO summon
witnesses in his behalf; that evidence
vital and material TO his defense was
withheld and Ihat lie evidence of the
principal witnesses OF the state was
not given under oatn.
The petition recites that under the
Cuban laws a defendant in a criminal
trial is not required to be sworn. and
cannot be punished for perjury IL he
gives false testimony. This witness,
the petition alleges, was convicted
under the same proceedings as the
petitioner, but was pardoned on turn
ing states evidence. He also took ad.
vantage of his position as witness

$4,000 is APPROPRIATED.
Executive Council Allows This Sum
for School for Deaf.

Des Moines, June 26.--The execu.
tive council took final action yester-
day on the appropriation for the school
for the deaf at Council Bluffs. BY
unanimous vote the council decided TO
allow the full sum asked by the board
of control, or $4,000. from the provi.
dental contingent fund.
There is 5000 in the providential
contingent fund and the appropriation
by the executive council of $4,000 of
this leaves but $1,000 to meet contin-
gencies for the rest of the biennial
period. The board of control appear
ed before the council and stated the
necessities of the institution and the
members of the council went over the
amounts asked by the board item by
item and decided to give the full sum
asked. Until yesterday it had been
expected the council would give but
$4,000. From the first the council has
indicated willingness to give this
amount, but some of the members
were doubtful about exceeding it.
The appropriation of $4,000 will be
paid out of the treasury on warrants
from the auditor, issued in payment
of bills that have been approved by the
board of control and also given the
approval of the executive council. The
council thus retains the right to con-
troll fully the disposition Of the fund.
With $4,000 the board of control
will be enabled to proceed without
embarrassment to the erection of tenn
porary buildings and their equipment
with first class furniture, such as will
be available when permanent build
ings are put up. The board Of con-
troll was unwilling to be compelled to
set along with $4,000, as this would
have necessitated the use of cheap and
temporary furniture and would have
proved loss to the state in the long
run. The contracts for buildings,
heating and plumbing already award
ed by the board of control for the
| school for the deaf amount to $4,000.
| about $11 900 will be needed for fur
| niture and equipments.

NEWS FROM THE
HAWKEYE STATE
What Has Happened in Iowa
During the Past
Week.
MAY REFUSE INFORMATION
Said That Railroads May Decline to Fur
nIsh Monthly Reports to the Executive
CounGiI-Father shoots Objectionable
Snitor.

Des Moines, June 30.-There is a
well defined rumor in political circles
mat the railroads which do business
in Iowa may decline to furnish the
information asked from them by the
state executive council under the in
depreciation put on the English law
by the governor and members of the
council. This law gave the council
power to prescribe rules and regula
tiOns governing the compilation and
furnishing of information concerning
the business of the roads in Iowa, as
a basis for railroad property assess
ment.
Under this authority the council pre-
pared certain blanks and rules re-
quiring monthly reports from all of the
railroads respecting the detailed in.
come from four classes of business:
The business originating in Iowa and
going out, that originating out and
coming in, and that wholly within
the state The blanks for the first
monthly report on tins line, for the
month of April, have been in the
hands of the roads since the adoption
of the rules. While they were given
sixty days in which to file the reports
only two or three have been received
by the officers of the executive coun.
eli.
Now arises the rumor that the roads
will find it impossible to furnish the
detailed information asked for. II IS
said that they have been advised by
lne legal departments of some of the
roads that the council is without the
authority to require this monthly in.
formation in the shape in which it is
solicited. 1t is even said that the
council might be resisted in the courts
II the reply of the railroads that they
are unable to furnish the information
is taken at its face. AS matter of
fact, it is further said, the roads do
not wish to furnish the information be-
cause the compilation Of it would be
enormously expensive.

ATTACK FARM TAXATION.
Railroads Prepare to Retaiiate Against
Farmers.

Des Moines, June 26.-Judge j. c..
Cook. general solicitor in Iowa for the
c., M. & st. p. railway, has launched
his fight against the executive council
raising railroad assessments and stat
ed that he would be able to make a
showing, that If given proper consid-
Grafton, would result in reduction in
stead of an increase of the Milwau-
KEGS assessed valuation. What he pro-
poses to do is TO show that the farm
lands of Iowa are under assessed and
appeal to the council as an equalizing
board
Plans entered into by the Milwau-
kee are OF an elaborate character.
They include the sending OF railroad
attorney to every county In Iowa for
the purpose of securing a record of all
transfers of land and the considera-
Ion of the sales. Then each piece of
property will be investigated to learn
what assessed valuation had been
placed upon it. The statement is
made by Judge Cook that figures
show that the assessments will not
average l per cent of the actual value
and that there will not be a county in
the state where assessed value will
reach more than Is per cent Of the
actual.
The examination of land transfers
begun by Judge Cook will extend over
period of eighteen months, taking
the year 1901 and six months of the
year 1902. Judge Cook is here today
looking up Polk county's transfers.
He stated that he will be able to show
to the council that the people who
have been clamoring for increased
taxation of railroads are the very ones
that are under assessed.
1t is evident that the railroads are
preparing to resist to their utmost
any increase Of assessment of rail
road property. Several roads have
had attorneys here at various times.
II is expected they will have more
figures and oratory to offer the coun-
Gil at the railroad hearing than there
has been In all the former hearings
