The State Regatta.
Times Republican.

Special to TimeS-Republican.
Dubuque, May 22.-The executive
committee of the Iowa State Amateur
rowing association, held a meeting at
Cedar Rapids, Friday, to arrange for
the annual regatta which will be held
at Clear Lake July II and %. Some OPP
position developed to the holding OF
regatta this year. The Sioux City rep
resentatiVeS We're strongly opposed to
having the annual events pulled Off and
it is stated that the reason they OBJ
jected was because the Dubuque senior
four has already won the state cham
pionship cup twice In succession and If
they should win out this year the tro-
ply will remain in possession of the To-
cal club, as the rules of the association
provide for the cup being turned over
to the senior four that wins 1t three
years in succession. Duhuques repre-
sentatives have already won the tro-
ply twice in successive years, While the
Sioux City club has but one victory TO
its credit. The opposition to the hold
ing of the regatta this year. is due to
the excellent showing made by Du-
buque in the regattas of 1900 and 1901.
The strongest opposition to the hold
ing of the annual meeting this year
was made by the Sioux City represent
atives who want to gain time to recu
perate the strength of their club, and
prevent Dubuque from getting perma-
nent possession of the state cup.
The same four that represented this
city in last seasons regatta will row
this season. 1t is composed of the fol-
lowing members: d. ID. Myers, Jr.,
bow; Carl Mehlop, No. 2; Ed Healey,
No. 3: Joe O'Neill, stroke.
Besides the seniors the local associa-
ton will be represented in the regatta
by junior four. Junior double and
probably junior single. The Dubuque
club has purchased three new shells

Special to Times-Republican.
Waterloo, May 22.-Misfortune is
pursuing the Chicago Great Western
railway in a manner to bring heaviness
of heart to the officials. The latest
misfortune was the ditching of seven
freight cars on north-bound freight
about two miles north of Reinbeck
yesterday. The wreck happened where
new bridge spans Indian creek, a
branch Of the Blackhawk. 1t seems the
structure had just been completed and
that the earth around the abutments
and masonry had not settled to make
them as solid as they otherwise would
have been. When the freight attempted
to cross the front part of the train
passed over safely, but seven cars In
the middle of the train fell into the
creek as the bridge gave way. Among
the cars derailed We're two containing
salt and one ice cream. Some were
empties. The wrecking crew was sum
moned and arrived as soon as possible.
II took all the balance of the day to
remove the cars from the stream.

edies without success and when /
bought bottle of 'Favorite Rem

can give that it has completely
cured me is to state that l have
since been accepted by four differ

The Rev. Mr.. Yeisley is the pastor
OF the First Reformed Church of ST
Paris, Ohio, and is as well the editor
of the ST. Paris Dispatch.
There is no question that DR.. David
,Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the best
and surest medicine in the world for
diseases of the kidneys, liver, bladder
and blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and
chronic constipation, as well as the
weaknesses peculiar to women. II
quickly relieves and cures inability to
hold urine and the necessity of getting

when passing urine and corrects the
bad effects of whiskey and beer.
