surprised to find such an
unexpected lively interest in the
royal game of all chess. All those

make the club rooms a comfortable
home for the chess players who wish
to devote at least one evening in the
week to this noble pastime, the ac-
tive support of all who are interest
ed is required. Though members
have access to the rooms at any
time, the regular club night is Tues
day of each week, when guests are
cordially welcomed. The club
rooms are at Horix hall, South High
street.

thus gradually restoring the values
that have been taken from all forms
of property owned by the people
through thirty years of the Single
Gold Standard. The Republican
party's policy is to make ''money
scarce and therefore dear" and all
forms of property cheap. But to
prevent the trusts from being
squeezed by this same system
which takes away the value of the
peoples property, the party of Mr..
Hanna favors the trusts by legisla-
tion which enables them to arbi-
trarily fix their own prices for their
products. Voters may take their
choice between the two systems.
COUNTY AUDITOR SIsLER told the
DEMOCRAT at the Buchtel Satur-
day night that he was glad "the
other fellows" were running for Office
in Summit county this fall. He said
that the opposition to him last fall
because of the Russell Salary bills
defeat cost him more than three
hundred votes, chiefly among the
farmers of the county. If, as
Auditor Sisler says, the salary bill
agitation cost him more than three
hundred votes last fall, it will cost
"the other fellows" more than
thousand this fall. The people are
just beginning to find out that they
have to pay the enormous funds
which some of their county officers
are able to spend during campaigns.
They are going to vote to put men
in Office who are not part of the
Machine which defeated the Russell
Salary bill.

pie that they are deserving of such

A big down town department store
has a young man employed as rug
salesman WHO at times evinces genius
in the highest degree.
Into the store there recently came a
South Side society woman well know
for nervousness and a tendency to
founder about in her topics of conver-
sation. She desired a rug of a certain
size. The young man got down two or
three to show her. In the middle of
his explanation as to quality and price
she turned away and began to examine
goods on q neighboring counter. Then
she went back to the young man and
wanted to look at some more rugs. He
started to spread one out, when she
wandered away again. When she re-
turned the third time, he had n stool
placed in an angle of the counter and
suggested that perhaps she would be
seated while he got the rug.
When she had taken her seat. he
spread the rug so that it effectually
blocked the angle and prevented her
escape. He held up the edge of the
rug farthest from her so she couldn't
walk over it. and so kept her penned
up while he explained how fine a rug
it was. She made two or three at
tempts to get down. but with no sue
cess. and finally bought the rug to OBJ
tain her release.-Chicago News.

Turkeys Elaborate Armorie..

Turkey prides itself on it's armories
and claims that no other country in the
world can equal them. Constantine
pie boasts the roomiest and handsom-
est of all. The armories there are like
palaces. with all the comforts and con-
veniences modern genius can supply.
These buildings are all erected on high
ground. and in many cases strike the
eye of the approaching tourist before
the gates of Constantinople are reach
ed. This is true particularly of the
Haidan Pasha and Pera armories.
which always arouse the admiration Of
newcomers to the Turkish capital. The
armories are surrounded by huge gar
dens. with large courts and terraces.
and reflect credit upon the Turkish
architects.

THE A. AND G. RAILROAD.
VIII Open up Region of MatchIess
nweaIth and Fertility,

The following is clipped from the
New Rocky Sun. an Arkansas
paper and is the same line on which
the surveyors are at work near
Oakland heading westward. The
article reads:
Mr.. B. NJ. Maulding, assistant
engineer on the Arkansas & Choc-
taw railroad, has returned here
for few days rest, having left the
surveying corps in the Chickasaw
Nation, 50 miles west of Durant, a
thriving city in the Choctaw Nation
20 miles north of Denison, Texas.
In speaking of the survey of this
road Mr.. Maulding said:
They will continue the survey
to the western boundary of the
Chickasaw Nation, crossing the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa F'e and
connecting with the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific railway. They
crossed the ST. Louis & San Fran
cisco between Goodland and Grant
about 26 miles north of Paris,
Texas and the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas at Durant, about 20 miles
from Denison, Texas. So, you
see. by connecting with four great
railroads running north out Of
Texas through the Indian Territory
we shall be brought into admirable
touch with the grandest country
on earth.
From the state line to Doaksville
the country abounds in fine timber,
including white oak and post oak,
while north of the survey lies a
belt of pine.
Between Doaksville and Good
land is a grazing and farming
country
From Goodland to Durant is a
rich black land region that will
Weld a bale of cotton to the acre.
West of the NJ. X. & T. lies a
remarkably fertile and very beau
tiful prairie country, in which
corn produces - to 100 bushels
per acre; oats 40 to 60 bushels;
wheat % to 30 bushels; and cot
ton bale to bale and half to
the acre. But at present about
two thirds of this section is unde-
velOped.
Durant on the NJ. X. & 7. and
Ardmore on the Santa Fe will be
by long odds the best towns on the
prospective road.
From the state line to the Frisco
is distance of 6S miles: it is 80
miles from the Frisco to the NJ.
K. & T., and 60 from the NJ. X. &
T. at Durant to Ardmore on the
Santa Fe.
Mr.. Maulding says the people all
along the line are quite anxious to
see the road put through. Those
who have been hauling lumber from
a distance at total cost of $40 a
thousand can then afford to erect
much better residences and barns
for they can exchange their sur
plus hay and corn for lumber very
conveniently. Out there old corn
is selling at Is cents a bushel and
new hay at 10 cents bale.
Mr.. Maulding will return in a
few days to his post of duty, much
refreshed, we trust, from his visit
to this great health resort Rocky
Comfort, Ark.
