Sioux City, Feb. 21.-Wooed and won
by John Blackhawk, a full blooded
Winnebago Indian, Ollie Hart, aged
10. the pretty and talented daughter of
DR.. Hart, the Winnebago agency ply
sician, eloped last Monday with her
lover and they We're married at Sioux
City by Judge Eimers.
Upon their return to the reservation
the news of the marriage reaching the
fathers ears, he took hissdaughter and
started for Ohio, intending to keep her
with his relatives until her infatuation
for her Indian lover had worn off.
But the girl cleverly outwitted her
father on the road to Sioux City, from
which point the start to Ohio was to
be made. AT Homer, where DR.. Hart
and his daughter stopped for lunch,
Ollie secured permission to visit a
woman friend in the town, promising 10
return in Il few minutes. The father,
deceived by the calmness with which
the girl took the separation from her
Indian husband gave his consent.
The Father Outwitted.
At the appointed time the girl did
not return and DR.. Hart. going hastily
to the house of the woman whom his
daughter said she would visit, learned
to his CONSERVATION that Ollie had
gone.
1t was later found that she stopped
at livery barn on her way and in
structed the keeper to send Il team and
buggy to the woman's house. This was
done and Ollie, excusing herself, left
the house and jumping into the rig,
whipped the horses to a dead run and
escaped to the reservation, where it is
supposed she rejoined her husband.
DR.. Hart, angered beyond expression.
purchased u gun, it is said, and went
on the trail, threatening to kill Black
hawk if his daughter was not restored
to him. Up to noon yesterday no trace
of the couple had been found, and Dr..
Hart is still in pursuit.
The Girl is Attractive.
Ollie Hart has lived at the Winnebago
agency most of her life. She is well
known in agency circles and is an at
tractive girl. John Blackhawk, the
Winnebago who infatuated her, is a
graduate of an Indian college and is
said to be bright man. He is tall,
broad shouldered and fairly good look
ing, although his skin has the copper
tint of the full-blood Indian.
The intimacy between Miss Hart and
Blackhawk has been growing for some
time, and DR.. Hart noticing it, forbade
their meeting. This only served to in-
cite Blac1hawk to renewed efforts to
meet Miss Hart, and the elopment
was planned.
Last Monday evening shortly after
dark Judge Eimers was visited by the
couple who had stopped in Dakota City
and secured marriage license. They
were accompanied by Attorney Ames
of Homer, who was witness to the
wedding, which Immediately followed.
The couple left at, once for the reser-
walton and made no explanation of the
visit to Judge Eimers.

STUDENTS HAVE TO SWIM.
This Exercise Compulsory at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.

The faculty of the University OF
Pennsylvania having ruled that every
student must be a swimmer, lhs
splendid swimming pool at the new
gymnasium of the university is nov
crowded daily With young Americans
bending their energies i'll the direction
of. mastering the art natatoral. Pro-
fessor George Kistler, who is in charge
of the swimming classes. teaches lhe
boys by the means of long pole ana
life buoys. The goal to be reached Is
not the mere ability to swim, but the
strength and skill necessary to cover
a given distance.
After some controversy as to the dis
lance to be made the minimum at
which a student shall be passed as Il
swimmer, it has been settled at twice
the length of the pool, in figures. zoo
feet. Many boys enter college capable
of covering the prescribed distance
without training. To these Professor
Kistler teaches fancy swimming ana
endeavors to make of them long dis
lance men for the honor of the Red ana
Blue in future natatorial contests. 1T
is a regrettable fact, however, that
numbers of boys enter college without
the first idea of swimming, and these
at present comprise the large A Il Z
class in the University of Pennsylvania
gymnasium.
So many boys have answered in the
negative the question of the physlcal
director concerning their ability to
swim that it has been found necessary
to provide Professor KiStler with AN
assistant, and the two instructors are
kept busy at all hours of the day hold
ing kicking freshmen at the end OF the
poles while they essay to initiate the
actions of frogs.
AS it has been decreed by the college
authorities that no student shall be
allowed to take part in rowing events
until he has proved himself long
distance swimmer, the natatorial as
pirants are not content with merely
going the distance of the pool, but are
vying with each other to keep up the
pace as long as possible.

sissippi being greater than the rate

Dear Sir: Your letter recent date
received and contents carefully noted.
Replying, | am directed to say: The
board would be glad to render youany
assistance within their jurisdiction, but
they have absolutely no authority UNI
der the law to make any part of

as being excessive is undoubtedly the
so-called proportional of the thru
rate. The board has never had any
thing to do With filing this proper
tional and can have, under the law,
nothing whatever to do with 1t. The
courts have held that any part of an
interstate haul is interstate business
and is not subject to the jurisdiction
of any state authority, except in mat
ter of police regulation.
The rate fixed by This board can be
made to apply only On shipments be-
ginning and ending III Iowa. The COM
missioners' rate on corn, oats, barley,
etc, for $50 miles il; 10 cents per
hundred pounds, SO you see the Iowa
rate is much lower for the same. dis
lance than the rate which you quoted
the board.
The board has had this matter in
hand for some time, and believes that
it will not be long Until all rates will
be placed upon an &c uitable basis and
Iowa shippers properly taken care of,
so long as the 'cut rates" are in effect
between Omaha and the east.
The commissioners are ready at all
times and willing to aid Iowa ship
pers in any manner they may be able.

Jewell, Feb. 21.-The John Brinnick
restaurant at this place was robbed
Sunday night. About 500 worth of
stock was taken. There are several
clues.
The guilty party or parties took a
pane of glass out of one of the rear
windows of the restaurant. After
gaining an entrance, it was an easy
matter to take whatever was wanted.
A careful inventory of the restaurant
reveals the fact that nothing but
tobacco and candy were taken. A
goodly quantity of these We're stolen,
however. Mr.. Brinnick estimates that
fully s1O0 worth of this line of stock
was taken.
Both the proprietor and the officers
have suspicious as to who was respon-
sible for the robbery. They believe
these suspicious are we'll founded. 1t
is no secret that they believe the guilty
parties to be Jewell people. 1t is pos
sible that search of a few days may
result in a discovery of the stolen
property.
