END OF WATS0N'S ROMANCE
Trainer of GrinnelTs Athletes shows
why He Refused Offers
Elsewhere

GRINNELL, Ia, April 17.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Trainer Jack Watson, who for
the last five seasons has wrought wonders
with the small track team Of Iowa college.
was married here this evening to Miss Arie
Williams. The marriage is the elimination
OF a happy romance Of love and athletics.
During the last Ave years Trainer Watson
has manifested a strange devotion to the
fortunes OF Iowa college. He has refused
far more remunerative offers and has made
the hearts OF the students glad by con-
senting to remain. This devotion is par
TALLY explained in the light Of events. He
is we'll known all over the east and espe-
cially in the vicinity of Boston. When j.
Harland Rush, Grinnell's fast sprinter, was
looking for a trainer he wrote to Trainer
Christy of Princeton, who recommends
Watson. Watson had never been west and
wanted the experience, so engaged for the
season. But love played havoc with the
plans of the athlete. Among the faces at
the meets and gala occasions he espied the
pretty countenance Of Miss Williams. The
memory OF the face remained with him and
when opportunity offered he secured an in
PRODUCTION. Miss Williams resides in Grin
nell, where she attended the High school.
While developing Rush into a wonder, who
was to defeat Wefers. Trainer Watson
found time to win the affection Of the
pretty Grlnneil girl.

NOT so FRANK WITH ASSESSOR
Nebraska Corporation Admits IL f.
Operating street Railway In
Council BIuns.

Separate answers were filed yesterday In
the district court by the Omaha q Council
Bluffs Railway and Bridge company, Iowa
corporation; the Omaha & Council Blufls
Railway and Bridge company, Nebraska cor
poration. and the Omaha, Council BLUFFS &
Suburban Railway company in the quo war
ranto proceedings brought June 10. 1901. in
the name OF the State of Iowa ex rel II. j.
Forsyth. to declare the franchise under
which the three companies claim to be oper-
ating null and void.
The low corporation Of the old motor
company, while denying the allegation Of
the plaintiff admits that 1t is a corporation
but nothing else. The Nebraska corporation
goes a little further and admits It Is oper-
ating a street railway in Council Bluffs.
while the Omaha. Council Bluffs & Sub
urban company admits It is operating a
street railway on and over the streets and
alleys mentioned in the complaint. The
admission OF the Nebraska corporation that
1t is operating a street railway in this city
is interesting in view of the fact that IN
the statement returned to City Assessor
Everest the company stated that the street
railway was being operated entirely by the
Omaha, Council Bluffs q Suburban Railway
company and the only assessment made by
Mr.. Everest is against the Suburban COM
pany.
The franchise which Forsyth attacks Is
the one originally granted by the vote Of
the people in December, 1897. to the Coun-
ell BLUFFS, Lake Manawa & East Omaha
Construction company. This franchise was
subsequently transferred to the Omaha.
Council Bluffs & Suburban Railway COM
pany. The validity Of the franchise Is at
tackled on the alleged grounds that the
Council BLUFFS, Lake Manawa & East Omaha
Construction company was not a corpora
tion, but merely a voluntary association or
copartnership Of Charles r. Hannah. EN-
met FINLEY and others. Also that the pro-
visions Of the charter were not lived up
to nor complied with. Forsyth also asks
that the alleged pretended assignment to
the Nebraska and Iowa corporations Of the
pretended stock Of the Omaha. Council
Bluffs & Suburban Railway company be de-
clared fraudulent and void.
The quo warranto proceedings were begun
shortly after the old and new motor COM
panies merged.

Insurgents for Atrocities.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE report Of
Lieutenant Colonel Dickman, Twenty-sixth
volunteer infantry, which was referred to
at yesterdays cabinet meeting as part Of
the initial investigations Of the charge OF
cruelty to the Fillpinos. was submitted to
congress two weeks ago, but received very
little attention at the time. The letter was
written by Colonel Dickman from the
Preside at San Francisco, April "a. 1901.
He had been directed to Investigate Ser
geant Riley's charge that the water cure
was administered at Igharas, a fact to
which he also testified before the senate
committee last Monday. Colonel Dickman
made this return in part to the War de-
partment:

Major Cook. Captain Mcdonald and Ser
geant Riley state that no officers or SOL
diers of this regiment took part in any
so-called water-cure proceedings or other
threats against the natives on the occa-
sion stated.
Colonel Dickman then gives a list of
atrocities inflicted by the Filipinos upon
Americans unfortunate enough to fall into
their hands. He tells of ambushes and as
sassinations and burning Of soldiers by slow
fires and of burlals alive Of American SOL
diers, all OF which he offers to prove in de-
tail. He winds up as follows:
The conduct of the American troops in
the Philippines has been so humane as TO
be a continued source of surprise TO all
General order No. 100 (the repressive Or
der) has not been revoked. its provisions
against treachery. according to the law

that this would be a cheaper method OF
obtaining a water supply than the construc-
ton OF long canals. The report contains
the records Of cost and capacity Of pumping
stations in Arizona and California. It is
estimated that water sufncient TO irrigate
an acre Of ground can be supplied by pump
ing at an average cost Of $40 per acre In
Arizona, and in California. where cleo
tricity can be cheaply generated by water
power, the cost does not exceed from Is
to 30 cents per acre. The difference lies
altogether in the cost Of developing power.
for which no general estimates can be
made.
Experiments in Nebraska.
In addition TO the general investigations
IN the arid region, experiments were begun
In eastern Nebraska. A large canal was
built in a region where for thirty wears
crops have been raised by rainfall alone.
The results show that even in regions
where the rainfall is ordinarily sufficient
for the raising Of profitable crops. the use
Of an additional supply Of water much more
than pays for the construction Of irriea-
ton works.
The improvement in the design OF in
struments for measuring water has been
marked and farmers are adopting the water
registers at a number Of places where It
is important to have continuous records OF
the flow of canals and laterals.
Aside from the principal questions dis
cussed in the report. there is much OF
value to the irrigator relative to the
methods Of diverting and distributing water
in each state. These details. while valuable
to the farmer Of some experience in irriga-
ton, will be especially helpful to those
who are unacquainted with agriculture
where conditions are such as 10 make the
