IOWA FISH COMMISSION.
Game Warden Lincoln Will Have Some
Funds to Expend.

Des Moines, April 17.-State Fish and
Game Warden George A. Lincoln was
notified by the secretary of the execu-
tive council yesterday that he may use
& part of the uneXpended balance of the
appropriation made for fish and game
purposes by the Twenty eighth gem
eral assembly. The sum which is avail
able from this source amounts to So
S44.T1. This will have to do the work
which was expected to be done by the
appropriation of $4,000. which failed to
get thru the legislature this year be-
cause of the oversight of some person
1t is needless to say that the small bal
ance available will not protect the fish
and game interests of the state as they
have been protected in the past.
The act which passed the Twenty
eighth general assembly and was sub
stantially the same as that which
should have gone thru the last legisla-
ture provided for the following appro-
priations: For gathering fish at Sa-
bula for restocking the lakes and rivers
of the state, $4,000; for protection, dis
tribution and reproduction of fish for
the next two years, $4,000; for the pro-

athletics since his services were first
secured as coach nearly six years ago.
During this time he has developed some
notably fine material. SPEEDY" Rush
is probably his best known product.
Jack has been a professional athlete
since 1889, and regular participant in
the Scotch Caledonian games held
every year in Boston, New York, Phil
adelphia and other large cities of the
east. In 1893. and again in 1896, he
went abroad. and as champion running
jumper of America challenged all COM
ers in Europe. During these trips he
gave athletic exhibitions in England,
and performed before many noted per-
sonageS, including the earls of Dub
ley and Aberdeen. AT the Worlds Col
umbian exposition at Chicago in 1899
Watson was winner of all the profess
sional jumps in the games held there.
During his professional experience he
has had eleven matches and never been
defeated. altho having to concede large
handicaps in most of these. He is wide
sly known turnout athletic circles, hav-
ing travelled in all parts of America and
Europe, and especially the British
Isles. His judgments and decisions are
accepted as authentic and final in ath-
letic circles in the east, and he is con-
ceded to be the best Handicapped in
America. A few of his records, part of
which stand as worlds records, are as
follows: Running broad jump % feet

Grinnell, April 17.-The track team
of Iowa College has sustained a loss
which can not be repaired this year.
Max Conger. winner of the 100-yard
dash and winner of second place in the
220-yard dash at the state field meet
injuries which will prevent him from
taking part in any athletic event this
season. He is suffering from sprint
er's break which has appeared in the
back of his right leg, just above the
knee. He first noticed his injury last
week and it was at the time thought
little of, but has steadily grown more
serious. He is under the care of DR.. p.
Z. Somers. but he states that Conger
will be unable to take part in this sea
sons events. The blow is q great one
to Grinnell, as Conger has taken the
sprints with ease in the college meets.
Last evening at the home of the
brides parents. on Chatterton street,
Miss Aree Williams was united in mar
riage to Mr.. John P. Watson, the we'll
known trainer of Iowa College track
men. Rev. Walter p. Stoddrad, pastor
of the Methodist church, performed the
ceremony. The wedding was a very
quiet home affair. and only the most in
innate friends were present. No an
nouncement of the wedding was made
until the present week Miss Aree Will
liams is the daughter of w. c. Williams
and has resided in this city for a NUM-
Der of years. She attended the high
school here and has many friends. Mr.
Watson is the man to whom Iowa Col
lege track teams Of winning years owe
SO much He is very extensively known
and has friends by the hundreds not
only In Iowa but all parts of the coun-
try and abroad. The couple We're the
recipients of very many handsome and
useful presents, including tokens from
the college men. After the wedding the,
bride and groom were at home to Il few
