halls and corridors have been I'M
covered. There are beautiful grave
columns, in tue chief room there is
in q niche tinted statue OF the de-
parted, about seven feet high, with
a sacri6cial table OF alabaster before
it. Among the many wall-paintiugs
in this and other rooms, hunting
and fishing scenes, q group of fe-
male mourners, the three seasons,
and his sons, holding each other by
the hand, and Mera playing chess,
are to be seen. King Tetu belonged
to the sixth dynasty, and his reign
was assigned by Professor Lepsius TO
about the year 200 b. O, Professor
Brugach, correcting this chronology,
puts it back to still greater antiqui-
ty, namely to the year $500 B, G i, so
that chess would have been known
in the once mysterious land Of Mis-
rain something like $500 years ago.

Antiquity Of Chess.

The latest excavations on the
pyramid field OF Sakkars have led to
an extraordinary discovery as to the
origin Of chess. Hitherto it was
assumed that the ancient Indians
had invented the game, that it was
introduced from India to Persia in
the sixth century, and that by the
Arabs, and in consequence of the
Crusades it spread from east to
west. This theory was substantial
cd by the fact that an Indian, Per-
sian, and Arabic influence is trace
able in the character OF the figures
at present used, and in some OF the
words connected with the game,
such as "shah" (check) and matt"
(mate). Now, north of the pyramid
OF King Tetu or Teti, two grave
chambers have been discovered,
which were erected for two high
officials OF that ruler. Their names
were Kakin and Mernker, called
Mera. The grave-chamber ("masta-
ba'D OF the former, consisted of FIVE
rooms, says the British Chess Maya
zine, built up with limestone. Its
walls are covered with exceedingly
well-preserved bas-reliefs and
pictures representing various scenes.
The other grave chamber, that Of
Mera, is the most valuable. Up to
now no fewer than twenty-seven

PRETTY HARD UP.
The Gang Has to Concoct Falsehoods
for Campaigning.

1t becomes our painful duty to take
the hide off the. gang again. They
Just won't tell the truth. A few days
ago they were trying to defeat Frank
Bearce on a claim that he was oppos-
ed to Supt. Niesley when in fact he is
one Of his enthusiastic supporters.
Now they have concocted fool story
on F. J. Murphy which they think is
very telling. 1t is in brief that he
sent out Of town for a set OF wagon
wheels for his delivery wagon and
painted them himself-hence, accord
ing to their argument, he is a villain
and ought not to be mayor. Now
let's see what are the facts:
Mr.. Murphy bought the wheels OF
d. L. Pisle, hardware dealer on North
Broadway. Ever hear of him, boysP
Mr.. Murphy had the boxing set by
L. D. Tolliver and L. Geauque, black
smiths and repairers, East Third
street. Ever hear of them, boysP
Mr.. Murphy had the painting done
BY Clarence Cradle, Second ward,
painter. Ever hear Of him, boysP
So the story is made out Of the
whole cloth, not one single state
ment in it being true. Are you not
pretty hard up for campaign ma
terial.
Shame on that kind Of fighting! We
do not believe the Populists Of the
city endorse 1t.

WILL HAVE A GOOD MAN.
W. P Gulick's Strength as Candidate
for Schoolboard.

The voters Of the attached territory
are to be congratulated upon having
fair, clean, honorable candidate for
school board member in W. P. Gulick.
He is a gentleman who will be credit
to the district and with him on the
board there will be two good working
members instead Of one (P. B. Ross)
as during the past two years. 1t has
been very unpleasant for the board TO
have on it man unworthy Of trust
and who by disappearing the
boards actions and blabbing all exec
utive meeting talks has sowed dissen-
sion and trouble for the schools. It
has been necessary for the board
unanimously to pass resolutions de-
nouncing his actions as a disgrace to
the district and the attached territory
citizens have felt keenly the shame of
such a representative. Since a partic-
ularly brutal attack three months ago
on school principals and teachers well
known to be utterly false he has not
dared attend regular board meeting,
fearing more resolutions showing up
his unworthiness and brutality. The
west side Of the attached territory has
wished a continuance Of the west side
school but he after talking in favor Of
opening the school not only voted to
close 1t and then voted to lay on the
table a motion to reopen it but re-
fused to listen to bis constituents in
their appeals, characterizing them
later as "a lot Of jays who don't know
what they want"
The people Of the attached terri
tory want good schools, no school
troubles, and gentlemanly conduct on
the part Of their representatives.
