IOWA mILLERs MEET.
James Taggart, of Knoxville, Elected
President


Des Moines, Jan. 1.-THE twenty
sixth general meeting of the Iowa
Millers' association was held here yes
terday and elected James Taggart, OF
Knoxville, president; Clarence L. Mott,
of Des Moines, vice president, and j. c.
Van Meter, of Desoto, secretary and
treasurer. The association adopted
resolutions urging all members of con-
gress to support the proposed amend
ments to the interstate commerce law
advocated by the interstate commerce
commission, particlarly the one rela-
tive to short and long railroad rates.
The old Iowa fishway law, which has
caused some mills great deal OF
trouble, and is still in force, was dis
cussed, but no action taken. All
amendments to the law have been re-
pealed, but the law itself has never
been officially wiped out, and it is this
that The millers advocate.
A committee was appointed to make
arrangements for the midsummer
meeting at Boone late in July, and Des

Frankfort, Ky. Jan. ICY Assoc

tragedy, in which three men were
killed, seemed to rest over all the peo-

sides We're evidences of mourning. The
bodies of Scott and Demaree, the VIC
tins of Colson's bullets, We're shipped
to their respecaiyes homes in Licking
ton and Shelbyville; while the remains
of Julian, who was probably killed by
Scott, lie in casket at. the residence
of his sister, where hundreds of friends
called to pay sad tributes. Captain
Golden, who was also shot by Colson,
is very much improved and the physi-
clans entertain hopes of his recovery.
Golden says he was hit by Colson's
first shot and that Demaree was killed
by Colson's recklessness. Colson passed
a night in Jail. 1t is regarded as for
tunate that both principals and two
of the dead belonged to the same POI
litical party, SO the affair could not be
traced to politics. 1t is believed the
affair will have tranquilizing effect
on everybody here.

what power there is in good blood. AS

the patient regained his strength. The
blood is the life" There is only one
natural way TO get good blood, and
that is from the stomach. If it needs
assistance, bring Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters to the rescue. This wonderful
medicine aids it in its digestion of
food, and furnishes the system with
rich, red blood. When this is done,
health naturally follows.

CLASS RIVALRY.
State University Sophomores In Danger

Iowa City, Jan. 16.-The freshman
banquet. set for this evening, has
caused considerable excitement in uni
versity circles. AS early as Friday of
last week the sophomores captured
some of the prominent members of
the freshman class, and confined them
in a house near the city. Besides the
POSTMASTER and president of the
class, the son OF Chancellor MacLean
was taken. Sunday evening the hid
ing place was found and the police
compelled the release of the freshmen.
Warrants of arrest were issued yes.
terday morning against several of the
leading sophomores. 1t is not certain
what action the faculty will take in
regard to the matter, but President
MacLean is firm in his determination
to put an end to class rivalry. The
sophomore class in body will resent
any action of the faculty against the
guilty members of their class.
