IN CHESS CIRCLES.

Washfngton'S birthday was a day Of In
terest at the local club, great attendance
was on hand during the afternoon and
evening. including a number of visitors
from home and abroad. Mr. T. G. Boepple,
president of the Davenport Chess Club; Mr..
Lands of the Rochester club and MIR.
Hawkersworth of New York were among
the latter. The club occupies two large
rooms. or rather halls. and they are pretty
well supplied with tables and pieces, but
not enough to keep the crowd going that
came in this time. The checker players,
too. were on hard in force, and kept all
their tables going. The central event was
q rapid transit arranged for the day. To
have memento of the victories a small
lee was put in by each of the eighteen con-
testants and the secretary directed to FUR
nish suitable inscribed prizes to the win
ners of first and second place. AS the
record shows, Mr.. Mundelle came in for the
first and Mr.. Hawkersworth the second

DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS.
Movement to Have the Campaign Di-
Iected From COlumbus, Ohio.

Iected From Columbus, Ohio.
Henry c. Pirrung. vice president of the
Columbus (Ohio) board of trade. and c. c.
Philbrick. a well-known newspaper man..
have arrived in the city and are laboring
with members of the national democratic
committee in the interest of having the ma
tional headquarters established in their city.
THE movement is in every way non-par-
tisan," Mr.. Pirrung said today. Our re-
publicans and democrats alike are anxious
that the democratic campaign be directed
from Columbus am here on behalf of the
board of trade to assure the committee that
everything will 'he done that can be done
to make the officers who are to do the
work comfortable and happy. We purpose
to provide a good building in most con-
venient part of the city and to see that
nothing is lacking"'
Mr. Philbrick saidI'that he had seen a
number of the members of the committee.
and, from their talk, was reasonably as
sured that Columbus stands a good show
of getting the headquarters
What appeals, to the reason or the MEM
bers of the committee said he, lis the
conceded fact that Ohio Is in the center of
that part of the. country where the main
fight Is to be waged. lThe battle ground will
be Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan
and Wisconsin: sand Ohio considering that
the Jones party polled more than 100000
votes last fall, can by no means be elm
mated from thei list ct possible democratic
winners. Jones' has expressed a partial
feeling for Bryan. and 1t is not unlikely
that large part Of the vote cast for him
for governor will go to the democratic NOM
inee for president.
Columbus is a railroad center, easy of
access from all parts of the country. We
are within few hours ride of any of the
states have enumerated. But above every
thing else we want to see the democratic
campaign directed from the Presidents

WHEELER IN WASHINGTON.
He Talks of Conditions In Luz0n, Insisting
That War Is Over-Says Troops
Are Doing Well.

Washington, March 17.-Gen. Joe
Wheeler called at the war department
Friday afternoon. The general was
in the uniform Of a brigadier general
of the volunteer army. He looked the
picture of health; better than when
he left Washington for Manila. He
gave Gen. Corbin brief description OF
the conditions in Luzon when he left.
He insisted that the war was over and
that nothing more was to be done ex-
cept to run down few guerrillas and
irregulars. There was difficulty in
this work he said, and there was dan
ger, too, but it's prosecution was not
''war." Ambuscades were frequent
and annoying and it was not easy to
tell whether the hidden force was
strong or weak; three men had been
mistaken for company, in some
cases.
The general said that the American
troops are doing splendid work there.
They are sound and healthy and in
quite as good shape as they would be
at home, engaged in similar service.
This was owing in measure to the
excellent care for their men exhibited
by officers and to the watchful precau-
tions of the staff of the army.

An Infuriated Mob Demands a Negro Who
Is Said to Have Assaulted
Little Girl,

Joplin, Mo-, March ia nine-year-
old girl was assaulted by negro
Saturday evening, while returning
home from the drug store with med
icine for her sick father. Her parents
offered reward of $500 for the arrest
of the negro. Yesterday afternoon
five negroes were arrested on sus-
picion, four in Joplin and one in
Oronogo. Three of the suspects were
turned loose, but one is held in the
Joplin jail and the one arrested in
Oronogo. A bowling mob of 1000
enraged and excited men surrounded
the city Jail until ten o'clock last
night, demanding the negro who as
saulted the little girl. The mob broke
the Jail office windows and many of
them crowded into the Office. Dur
ing the excitement the lights were
turned down and the negro was SNUG
gled out through side door by the
police and spirited away and then the
leaders of the mob were permitted to
search the Jail. Then the cry of "On
to Carthage" arose and many of the
disappointed mob started to Carthage
to get the other negro in Jail there
suspected of the same crime.

INTO THE COURTS.
David IL. Hill Wants a Decision ~ Co
Whether Porto Rico Is Really a Part
of the United States.

New York, March 1s.-Former SEN
ator David b. Hill and the law firm
OF iGinstern & Townsend have begun
proceedings by which they feel as
sured the question of whether Porto
Rico is part of the United States,
and whether it's inhabitants are en-
titled to all the rights guaranteed by
the constitution will be adjudicated
without delay in the United States
court. The contention is that Porto
Rico is a part of the union, subject to
the provisions of the constitution
which says in effect that one part of
the United States shall not, in inter-
state trade, levy a tax or duty on the
products of another part of the United
States. The suit will be of such char
acter that it can be quickly brought
to the action of the justices at Wash
ington, before whom Senator Hill will
make argument.
