The Iowa State Bottlers association,
now ten years old, with headquarters
in Des Moines, has inaugurated new
thing in the form of a clearing mouse
for labeled bottles. The members OF the
association nearly all have copyrighted
labels for their bottles and make an
effort to keep these bottles. They COM
plain that other persons who deal in
bottled goods are in the habit of re-
filing the bottle with copyrighted
labels and thus imposing on their GUS
toners. The association has just es-
tablished a clearing house for the bot
ties of Des Moines and all bottles found
out of possession of their rightful own
ers will be sent here and then be re-
turned to their owners. The associa-
ton at it's meeting held this week also
determined upon the employment OF de-
tectives to trace thefts of bottles and
to prosecute offenders against the
stringent Iowa laws in regard to unlaw-
full use of labels.
Albert n. Kellar, now in Cuba, a
soldier in the war for the liberation OF
Cuba, enlisted in an Iowa company
from Tipton, Is an applicant for ap-
pointment to one Of the Rhodes schol-
arships to be assigned to the state OF
Iowa. Mr. Kellar is an ambitious young
man with excellent political friends and
may land the place. There have been
a great many inquiries about the schol-
arships and number Of direct appli-
cations. Nothing can be done until the
trustees decide how the scholarships
shall be awarded.
Supt j. T. Gray, of Grundy county,
was in the city yesterday and last even
ing in consultation with friends as to
his prospects for the republican nomi-
nation for state superintendent. He
speaks hopefully of the outlook and is
confident that he will land the nomina-
ton.
The announcement at this time of the
candidacy of Senator Hubbard for the
congressional nomination in the Elev-
enth district causes no great surprise.
The senator might easily have been
the nominee last year but he was busy
in the state senate and left the matter
In the hands of others. It is we'll known
that he does not care to continue In the
state senate. In the legislature last
winter he devoted himself assiduously
to bills which appeared to be of small
consequence but many of them import
ant especially to the bar OF the state.
His work made him many friends, es-
pecially among the laboring men.

ON The ACT OF 1893
The Law Dividing Murder in
to Two Degrees.
Reasons Suggt s,ed for the Passage al d Re-
iention Of The Act by The n!roducer
of the Bill.
By JUDGE W. r. ALLEN.

As intelligent citizens are advocating the
repeal of the Act of 1898, dividing MUIR
der into two degrees, and as | introduced
1t IN the Legislature, 1 have thought it
might be proper to suggest areason for
its passage and retention.
Prior to the act if one man met an
other and without cause grossly insulted
HIM by use of the vilest language known
to man with reference to mother, wife,
daughter or sister, and the party SO in
suited at once drew deadly weapon and
killed the other, it was murder in the
first degree and punishable with death.
Juries knew this was wrong and upon
the slightest pretext acquitted, as they
had no choice between a conviction with
the death penalty attached and an acquit-
tai. When the insult was not so great
those who served on juries believed there
was distinction, between the man who
shot and killed face to face upon a
sudden quarrel when no blow was struck
and the man who shot from behind and
from ambush to crafty a revengeful
heart. The law made no distinction be-
tween the two and said that both were
guilty of murder and that the punishment
for each was the same-death.
Men who deserved some punishment fire.
quently escaped, and the administration
of the law suffered because jurors them
selves became violators of the law. The
cry was raised then, as it is now, that the
law was not being enforced. and that
the people would take the law into their
own hands and the act of 1898 was the re
suit.
The act first came before the Supreme
court for construction in State VS.. Fuller,
ia N. c.. SS5.
The Superior Court Judge who tried
that case charged the jury that "preme-
Citation (which is an essential element of
murder In the first degree), may be in
ferred or presumed from the use of
