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-ffths 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
f. 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 statement of facts as
to the collateral inheritance. Judge
Hubbards estate, excluding his law
library, has been valued at about
$780, 900. 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 a tax of $3.50.

tire north central portion of Indiana
was visited yesterday by one of the
most disastrous storms that ever
swept over the state. The storm
swept sections covered hundreds Of
miles. extending from Hancock coun.
ty northwest through the northern
portion of Marion county, Hamilton

fury.
Thousands of buildings were RACED,
tens of thousands. of trees were I'D.
rooted and now blockade the high.
ways, railroads and traction lines:
crops are utterly ruined. causing a loss
estimated at nearly 100000 and ff-
ty persons were more or less injured.
But two deaths have been reported.
James Van Hoy was caught in the
ruins of collapsed barn near Pendle-
ton and killed. and James Bailey was
killed by flying timbers at McCords-

ATTACK FARM TAXATION.
Prepare to Retaliate Asains,
.-" Farmers.

Des Moines, June 26.-Judge j. C.
Cook, general solicitor in Iowa for the
c., NJ. 4 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 a 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 anC
appeal to the council as an equalizing
board
Plans entered into by the Milwau,
kee are of an elaborate character.
They include the sending or a railroad
attorney to every county in Iowa for
the purpose of securing record of all
transfers OF land and the considera.
,on of the sales. Then each piece of
property viii 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 / 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.
1t 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.

WILL NOT COME THIS SEASON.
Treaty for Reciprocity With Cuba
Will Not Be Submitted,

Washington. June 24.-It has been
determined that no reciprocity treaty
with Cuba can be submitted at the
present session of congress. 1t was at
first planned that in the event of the
failure OF the administration manag-
ers in the senate to secure favorable
action on the Cuban sugar bill. a
treaty would be drafted at once. This
was on the understanding that Senior
Quasada. the Cuban minister here, had
full powers. and that treaty could be
drawn in Washington entirely. 1t is
stated now. however. that this cannot
be cone. and that any draft of treaty
must go to Havana and be returned be-
fore it can be submitted to the sen.
ate. This. of course. cannot be accom-
plished in the short space OF time in
tervening before adjournment. If the
estimates of the leaders that congress
will adjourn by July 4 are correct.
No confidence is felt in administra.
ton circles as to the ability OF the
senate managers to secure the ratifica-
ton of a treaty. even if one is drawn,
and while the president may feel
called upon to put the matter to test,
it will be rather with the idea Of dem
onstrating his own purpose to DO
everything possible for Cuba that in
any expectation that two-thirds vot"
for ratification could be received.

TO DEDICATE coNv,cT's HOME.
Institution Founded by Father Coffin
Of Fort Dodoe to be Opened.


Fort Dodge, June 27.-The Home
for Discharged and Paroled Convicts,'
which has been founded by Father
Coffin, the we'll known philanhropist
Of this city, will be completed and
ready for dedication during the COM

erected on ground donated by Father
Coffin himself and in which large
sums of money have been invested by
him with a view to making home for
discharged and paroled prisoners.
Father Coffin, although 80 years of
age, has spent the entire past year
experimenting the work on this in
stitution, which will be lasting mon

the expectations of his life to live to
see his plan for helping ex-convicts to
get start in the world. in operation.
The institution is to be self-support-

dedicatory exercises are held in Au-
gust. an effort will be made to raise
funds with which to start the ball
rolling. There is much sympathy
here with Father Coffin's project.

HEAVY GATE COLLAPSED.
As a Result Malcolm Elliott Was Sc
riously Injured.

4 heavy sliding gate at the stable oil
the Columbia Transfer Company, Virginia
Avenue, near Four-and-a half Street
southwest, collapsed late yesterday af-
ternoon. James H. Williams and NAL
colin Elliott, the latter boy. were caught
under it. Young Elliott was seriously
hurt, sustaining three ugly scalp wounds,
a broken nose, and other injuries. VIII
liams was slightly bruised.
The accident took place shortly after
o'clock, as Williams and the boy were
about to open the big gate, with the in
tention of entering the stable. Williams
is employed at the stable, and the boy
had gone there to see him. Some time
had been spent in the stable, and Will
Jams and the boy, afterward had gone
outside. that they might get drink Of
water from nearby pump. On return
ing to the stable Williams put his shoul-
der against the gate and gave it a push.
The gate slipped back few inches and
then suddenly collapsed.
AS the gate fell, Williams jumped to
one side, and he thus avoided being struck
down. Young Elliott, however, had no
time to escape. and was knocked down
and lay partially beneath the gate, until
Williams and others could extricate him.
