to learn of the marriage of w A Daw-
son to Miss Linderman last week. But
no one questions the propriety of the
act. For the past three or four years
Mr. Dawson has lived on the Jones
place and carried on u heavy farming
business, allthe time laboring under
the disadvantage of not having any
house help. And it is evident even
under such circumstances he has not
made failure but has attained de-
gree of success that would recommend
his ability to provide to the most
sceptical mind. Not only from this
consideration is Mr. Dawson deserv-
ing man, but we believe he will be an
afiectionate and companionable con-
sort, Although the bride is not much
known here all unite i'm wishing them
successful life.

Official PAPER Chosen.

Among the matters which came be-
fore the board Of county commission
crs at their session Tuesday was the
letting Of the county printing. The
lola Weekly REGISTER was chosen as
the official paper Of the county over
the bid OF Il Populist weekly at the
figure, and the bid of an evening daily
at half price. The REGISTERS bid
was at half the legal races, with the
agreement to run legal notices in the
daily and weekly issues. TIA, com
pletelN covering lola city aad Allen
county. The board too. this into
consideration and figured rightly that
a bid OF the REGISTER at 30 per cent
rave more service several tines than
the bid of either the other papers
which bid \ weekly without daily
would not inform the tax payers in
town of what had been done, and a
daily without a weekly would not post
the residents of the country.
The commissioners adjourned last
evening and went to their homes.

on the part of the American aggrega-
tions In both cities, could not fail TO
knock the gate receipts in the head.
The remaining National teams, with

BILE"
This rowing challenge is the first ever
sent to an American college, yolun-
tarily, by foreign institution.
Dublin university has a strong crew,
1t is said to be In a class with Oxford
and Cambridge. The Ward crew will
go to Ireland directly after the Henley
regatta and take quarters on the course
selected.
Old time oarsmen recall the Irish
crew that came TO America and rowed
In the races held in connection with
the Philadelphia Centennial. The sons
of Erin beat all corners In time that
stood as a record for 10 years,
Just at this time a glance at the diff
ferent strokes of the various racing
crews that are occupying public atten-
ton will prove seasonable.
The stroke that Pennsylvania men
are rowing and In which they have at
tanned great degree Of proficiency is
the characteristic Ward stroke. chang
ed little II any, from that used last
year. 1t depends on the leg drive even
more than on the catch. The drive Of
the leg ON the finish is strong and gives
such an impetus to the boat that there
Is surprisingly little catching. The
reach is good, the blade being carried
well back, but the grip Of the water is
slower than that Of most of the other
crews. This Is the Ward stroke that
won the last three intercollegiate re-
gattas for Pennsylvania and twice low
cred the record for the Poughkeepsie
course
The Cornell or what is better known
as the Courtney, stroke has a distinct
i've feature. II is generally conceded
that Cornell boats drag less between
strokes than those Of other colleges.
From the catch the Cornell oarsmen
keep their backs absolutely straight.
The arms are not bent until the body
has had It's full swing On the feather
ing Of the oar the wrists are dropped
in sweeping, graceful curve, and the
arms are again Strengthened to their
fun extent. At the catch the oar in
stead Of entering the water at right an

an angle of nearly IS degrees and turns

After the race the Wisconsin oars
men tried TO secure the crate as a SOU

was at the time some talk that the
crate had been set a1oat at the head Of
the course with malicious intent. This
theory. however, was groundless and
was rghtfully dlscredlted.
Columbia has been making a strong
effort 10 develop a winning crew.
Coach Edward Hanlan Is gradually
bringing the New York colleglans TO a
stage OF development on a par with that
of the Columbia crew OF 1895, which de-
feated Cornell and Pennsylvania. The

Harlem regatta augurs well for the

contest
The Henley regatta will occur on the
famous Thames course, near London
July g. T. 5. The Pennsylvania crew has

ginning to end as a ship rat knows the
galley. The Leander Rowing club of
London should, on form. win the Hem
ley. This organization has the pick Of
the graduate oarsmen of oxford and
Cambridge. The experience Of these
men, combined with their acknowl-
edged ability, should make them the
worlds champions Coach Ellis Ward,
however, will probably open the eyes
Of the Englishmen this year.
The Pennsylvania crew sailed from
Philadelphia June s, While en- route
to Liverpool the oarsmen practlced on
stationary shell and in consequence
arrived on the other side in good con-
dition,
The Henley crew is made up chiefly
Of men who beat Cornell, Columbia and
Michigan at Poughkeepsie last year:
These are the men who are to row:
Zane, bow; Eisenbrey, No. q Kuhne-
muench No, 8; Crowther, No. 4; Flick

Gardiner, No. Z; j Gardiner, stroke
The Henley crew is able to squirt up
to IS or 10 strokes a minute and to hold
the pace indefinitely. The distance in
the Henley race is / mile 500 yards.
1t is long sprint, To get a-golng at
the crack of the pistol is important.
Ward has given much attention to
starting. Every day before leaving the
United States the Henley eight prac-
tlced starts with the Poughkeepsie
crew and beat 1t half a length Mt the
very jump off.
