came Stuck on Mud ShoaI IN Della
ware River

The steamer arrived back at the
Harlan and Hollingsworth Company's
dock yesterday after a rough experience
in Delaware river. On Tuesday the beat
was sent out to loosen up her machin-
cry and warm her boilers after having
been overhauled here. When opposite
Kelley's Point, below New Castle, the
boat came upon a mud shoal. The crew
could not launch the anchors and be-
fore the engines could be reversed the
boat was stuck fast in the mud 1t
required several tugs to get her off. No
damage was done to the hull, and the
Cocoa is expected to leave on Satur-
day.

Take SCOTS Emulsion for
scrofula. Children often have
sores on the neck that won't
heal up. The sores may
come and 80. Parents may
not know what's the matter

the trouble and SCOTS Emul-

Des Moines. Sept. 26.-B.-F. Robin

regular nominee of the republican
party for the legislature in the Emmett
Dickinson district, and his name will
go on the official ballot.
The decision to that effect was

commissioners yesterday afternoon af-
ter q session lasting several hours.
The evidence of the many witnesses
and the arguments of the attorneys
were gone over thoroughly. The de-
cision of the board was unanimous.
1t was simply that the Dickinson
county delegates by participating in
the opening of the convention raade
themselves a part of the body, and
though they did not vote with EN- net
county on the question of the nom,na-
ton of Mr.. Rbinson, they were present
in the convention hall and could be
counted in order to make quorum.
A quorum being in the hall and part of
the convention, Mr.. Robinson in re-
ceiying the seven votes of Emmett
county received majority of those
represented and was duly nominated.
After the board had adjourned, kt-
torney General Mullan announced tee
decision. He said there would be 10
written opinion in the matter. and the
only action to be taken would be the
informing of the secretary of states
office of the finding Of the board SO
that Mr.. Robinson's name could be
properly placed on the ballot,

Des Moines, Sept. 2S.-Frederick NJ.
Hubbell, one of the wealthiest citizens
of the state of Iowa, his wife, Frances
L. Hubbell, joining, has conveyed prop
erty to the value of about 100000

their successors in trust for the trust
ors and their lineal descendants with a
Limitation over" as the lawyers term
1t, to the state of Iowa to be used in
founding a college of learning in the
city of Des Moines.
The trust period" defined COM
mences with the date of the declara-
ton and continues to the limit of time
allowed by the law-viz., for a life or
lives In being and twenty-one years
thereafter. The lives mentioned are
those of the trustors, Frederick M.
Hubbell and Frances E. Hubbell; their
three children, Frederick C. Hubbell
and Grover G. Hubbell, of Des Moines,
and Beulah c., the wife of Count Axel
Wachtmeister, of Paris, France, and
two grandchildren, sons of F. G. Hub
bell, aged IL and years respectively,
and the life of the survivor of these
seven persons.

WHOLESOME CRIME ALLEGED.
Forty-Two Indictments Returned
Against Two Men at Clinton.

Clinton, Sept 26. twenty-five
indictments returned against Daniel
Murphy and seventeen against Michael
Conroy is the report just made by the
grand Jury, which has been in session
for two weeks examining witnesses
from Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska. Ac-
cording to reports from county officials
Murphy and Conroy had been bringing
criminals to the city for the past num-
Der of years. Murphy and Conroy
planned the robberies, which were
executed by outside talent. Judge Boil
linger. to whom the grand jury report
ed, held Murphy in bonds to the
amount of $4,000 while the bail of
Conroy was fixed at $4,000, or $1,000
for each count.
The officers here received the in
formation which led to all these in
dlctments, from George Currier, a not
ed criminal, who entered plea OF gull
ty of four burglaries committed here
in one night last winter. Currier made
complete confession and told how
Murphy and Conroy have been bring
ing criminals here for years, working
in conjunction with himself and other
thieves He gave the officials names
of other criminals, who could be used
as witnesses, and men and women
were here to testify from three or four
states. The county officials and po-
lice have been working on the cases
for months, and claim to have very
strong chain of evidence. The robber-
les which are said to have been plan
ned by either Murphy or Conroy, or
by both of them, are as follows: Fay
diamond robbery; 1890; Grossman fur
robbery, $7,400; J. D. Lamb, residence;
residence of DR.. J. d. Langan, l.. p.
Allen, DR.. Hamilton, Ed Henle and DR..
Fischer. The other robberies in
which they were implicated were not
made known. 1t is said the officials
have in their possession kilograms
and letters which show how the rCD-
berries were planned and executed.
