every crime committed today or hereafter
where theye I a conviction the criminal
must stay In the penitentiary or the re
formatory the maximum limit of the law
unless ooner paroled by the Board of
Parole and Before he7 can be paroled by
the board he must have a guarantee of
employment for at leaat alx monthe.
It ia very doubtful whether or not the
people realise the full Import of the Inde
terminate , sentence law which la In full
force and effect with today. B. W. Gar
rett, aecretary of the Board pf Parole, Is
preparing an alphabetical list of the crime
punishable under the law of Iowa. He has
tabulated thus far U3, but la not through
with the list. The maximum term ot pun
ishment for the various crime varies all
the way from two year to life. Under the
new law there I no minimum term ot
punishment. A prlaoner cannot get out of
the reformatory or penitentiary without
being paroled by the Board of Parole or
else serving the maximum term.
Here are ome of the maximum terms:
For an aasault to commit a felony, five
years; to malm, rob or steal, five yesrs;
with Intent to. commit murder, ten years;
with Intent to commit rape, ten years;
entering unoccupied building, three years;
breaking and entering a car, five, years;
attempt to break and enter, Ave years;
burglary and entering with Intent to com
mit a public offense, ten years; having
possession of burglary tools, five years;
burglary armed with .dangerous weapon,
life; burglary not armed with dangerous
weapon, twenty years. The maximum
punishment for Incendiarism In It various
phase varies from five year to life. The
maximum punishment for larcens. embcx
element of different kinds, forgeries of
various natures and counterfeiting and
the like vary from two to twenty years.
Here 1 a phase of the law that will
cause criminal the country over to give
Iowa a wide birth. The minimum penalty j
la abolished. . The prisoner must stay In j
the penitentiary the full term unless par- !
oled by tha board. For the various kinds
and natures of burglary the punishment
la frequently but a few yeara under the
old system, wherein the Judge fixes tha 1
term of imprisonment.
Suppose a burglar break Into a building
In the night time armed with a dangerous
weapon. He 1 convicted and sentenced, if
under 30 years and his first offense, to the
reformatory, The maximum term of im
prisonment i life. Nothing but the Board
of parol can grant him In a shorter term.
If he behave himself and Is Industrious
In learning a trade the board .may parole
him at tlie end of four or five years. Sup
pose he commits a second offense In Iowa,
and th Information I laid before the Board
of Parole. Without the expense ot a trial
he can be rearrested on the order of the
Board of Parol and put back to serve the
rest of the maximum term tor his first
offense.- He can be -paroled again If the
board think best, but after a prisoner has
fallen from grace once or twice he will' not
likely get much consideration at the. hands
of the board.
Kxteet to Ban Ian Criminals.
If th offense 1 burglary without a dan
gerou weapon, the maximum term. 1
twenty years, and if after being paroled he
commit a second offense h can be rein
carcerated for the rest of the twenty-year
term. If his second offense Is in some other
tale than Iowai. and he Is tried and con
victed and punished there and then ever
returns to Iowa he can be incarcerated for
the rest of hi maximum term. The re
sult, according to th belief of many public
men, will ba that criminals of all classes
when they come to understand the law, and
they hear of such things very quickly, will
give the state of Iowa a wide berth for
the way of the transgressor will be hard
here. '" ,
As further tending to show th Impor
tance of the matter, reference 1 had to th
biennial report of Warden Hunter of the
penitentiary at Anamosa. The last report
how that there were sixty-four person
serving term for crime agalnat the per
son, for. which the maximum term is all the
way from five year to life. There are 190
serving term for crime agalnat property
for which (n some eases th punishment Is
heavy. There are forty-five In for burglary
alone. For other crime against public or
der and decency there are aeventy-aeven
prtaoner. Thoae ptiaoners already Incar
cerated cannot be hold for longer than the
term for which thoy have been sentenced.
But those convicted for crimes committed
from now on can be held for the maximum
of tha law and It mean a very much more
severe 'punishment from this on, for when
the prisoner I paroled he must hold a
steady Job for tlx months. If he "Jump
ma joo or pangs about saloon or
gambling den he can be rearrested and
Incarcerated, and after th six months he
still remains on parole and can be made
to report continually to the Board of Parole.
Falling to report and an endeavor to hide
from the authorttleji may result In his rein
carceration. In fact the man will be on his
good behaviour from the time he I paroled
till he dies or th maximum term of hi
possible punishment I ended.

E. S. Blydenburg. convicted In the Har

for th murder of hi wife, will get a new
trial. Th supreme court yesterday re
versed Itself In reversing the case. The
Blydenburg murder raae wa one of the
most atrlklng In -the htatory of Iowa. The
cas haa been In th court for years,
and Blydenburg 1 now serving a life
ternj In the penitentiary at Fort Madison,
to which place he waa recently transferred
from Aaamosa.
Blydenburg wa a school teacher In Har

he married, la 1M1 Mr. Blydenburg had
considerable property. 0a the first ap
peal to the euprerne court th court wa
divided, but the conviction of the lower
court waa auatalnad and Blydenburg then
fUad a motion for a rehearing. The mem
bore of the court dlaerntUg from the opln-
toa ef the majority eiaiioed that the ear-
pus delicti' hsd net been proven that la, I
that It waa not proven by the state thst '
Mrs. Plydenburg wss murdered. The etste
proved that "rough on rats" contains
arsenic and a chemical analysis of the
stomach of Mrs. Itlydenburg revealed
arsenic. Blydenhurg's attorney claimed
that the state should have proven that
there wss arsenic In the actual poison
administered to Mrs. Bly'denburg and thst
there waa actual poison administered. The
uyreme aruri uitiuru. ,uuita nmfr, who
dlsxented, then wrote the opinion of the

WHEN THE NATION WAS YOUNG
What the Conntry Amounted to When
the First Census Waa
Taken.
A recently published synopsis of the first
census report of th United States govern
ment contains these acts:
In March, 1799. the union consisted of
tweve states Rhode Island, the laat ot
the original thirteen to enter the union,
being admitted May 25. Vermont, the
first addition, was admitted la the follow
ing year, before the result of the flrt
census were announced. Maine waa a fart
of Massachusetts, Kentucky was a part of
Virginia, and the present state of Ala
bama and Mississippi were part of
Georgia. The present state of Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin,
with part of Minnesota, were known a
the Northwest territory, and th present
state of Tennessee, then a part of North
Carolina, was soon to be organised as the
SouthwVat territory.
The United States- was bounded on th
weat by the Mississippi river, beyond which
stretched that vast and unexplored wilder
ness belonging to th Spanish king, which
was afterword ceded to th United States
by France as the Louisiana purchase, and
now comprises the great and populous
states of Louisiana,. Arkansas, Indian ter
ritory, Oklahoma, Miaaourl. Kansas, Iowa,
Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota
and Montana, and most of Colorado, Wy
oming and Minnesota. The Louisiana pur
chase wa not completed for more than a
decade after th first census was taken.
On the south wa another Spanlah colony
known a the . Florida. Texas, then a
part of the colony of Mexico, belonged to
Spain, and California. Utah, Arlsona and'
New Mexico, alao the property of Spain,
although penetrated here . and there by
venturesome explorer and missionaries,
were, for the most part, an undiscovered
wilderness.
The gross area' of the United State
was 827,844 square miles, but the settled
area wa only 239,935 square miles, or
about 2 per cent, of the total. Though
the area covered by the enumeration In
(1790 seems very small when compared
with the present area of the United State,
th difficulties which confronted the census
taker were vastly greater than in 1900.
In ' many localities there were no roads.
and where these did exist they were poor
and frequently !m passable; bridgea were
almost unknown. Transportation wa en
tirely by horseback, tage or private coach.
A Journey aa long a that from New Tork
to Washington was a serious undertaking.
requiring eight days under most favorable
eonditlons. Western New Tork was a wil
derness, Elmlra and Binghamton being de
tached .hamlets. The territory west of the
Allegheny mountains, with the exception of
portion of Kentucky, was unsettled and
scarcely penetrated. Detroit and Vtncennes
were too small . and isolated to merit con
sideration. Philadelphia was the capital of
the United Statfe. Washington wa - a
mere grovernment proJect.Niot even named,
but known aa the Federal City. Indeed,
by the spring of 1793 only one wall of the
white house had been constructed, and
the site for the capltol had been merely
surveyed. New Tork City In 1790 possessed
a population of only S3.1J1, although it was
th largest city in the United States; Phil
adelphia was second with 18,523. and Boston
third with 18,320. Malls were transported
In very Irregular fashion and correapond
ence was expensive and uncertain.
There were, moreover, other difficulties
which were of serious moment In 1790,
but which long ago ceased to be problems
In census taking. The' Inhabitant, having
no ' experience with census taking, imag

Ined that some scheme for Increasing tax
ation was Involved, and were Inclined to
be cautious lest they should reveal too
much of their own affair. There was
also opposition to enumeration on re
ligious grounds, a count of inhabitant be
ing regarded by many a a causs for di
vine displeasure. The boundaries of town
and other minor division, and even those
of counties, were In many cases un
known or not defined at all. The hitherto
semi-independent states had been under
th control of the federal government for
o short a time that the different actions
had not yet been welded Into a harmonious
nationality In which th federal authority
should be unquestioned arid Instructions
promptly and fully obeyed.
