Still Winning Chess Games.

A letter from Abilene's former
chess champion, poet John Preston
Campbell, who is now in Washington,
shows that he is still in love with the
game. Speaking Of his experiences
in the capitalize says:
! belong to the Washington chess
club. ! played game with Mr..
Showalter; be defeated me, but it re-
quired forty-two moves to do SO. /
also played agame with A. B. Hodges,
Of New York chess fame. He used
thirty.six moves before mate was &C.
complished. l defeated the local ex-
pert, E. A. Tibbits, also W. E. Thorn.
as, in tournamentplay. These games
were published in the Washington
Star.
We hope Prof. Jewett, Rev. S.
Palmer and other experts will take
due notice Of the prowess Of their old
rival and hereafter and henceiorth re-
frain from making invidious remarks
concerning Mr.. Campbell's ability.
We don't know who Messrs. Showalter
and Hodges are but they were mighty
good players to win even in the num-
Der Of moves they used.

Bad Place for Refuse.

On Sunday there was found in an
old cellar in northeast Abilene a big
pile Of chicken refuse, the cleanings
Of a poultry house in town. The
stencil was 50 great that complaint
was made and the man who put the
material there has hauled 1t away.
But he has dumped 1t on the East
Abilene addition which is just as bad.
II there is not some regulation re-
garding the disposition Of such refuse
there ought to be. 1t endangers
health to have it on top Of ground
within smelling distance Of the city.
