was the best policy to secure flrst-class

A CHESS VILLAGE.
Now tire Game Became the Ruling
Passion Of Stroheok.

In a plain of the Harz mountains,
a few miles distant from the quaint
old town of Halberstadt, Germany,
lies the village of Strobeck. The
history of Strobeck and its people
has for hundreds Of years been asso.
ciated with the game of chess II
Is a yeritable chess village, says the
Royal Magazine, nursery garden
for that ancient game.
From earliest childhood the boys
and girls are made familiar with
board and men. AT school chess is
treated as an obligatory subject and
is taught Systematically. As soon
as pupils have mastered the moves
and the rules of the game they are
encouraged to undertake the solu.
ton of chess problems and to in.
vent new ones, just as an English
schoolboy is set to making Latin
verse.
At Easter there are chess exami.
nations and tournaments among the
school children. Three awards OF
honor Of the shape of chessboards
bearing the inscription, "The Re.
ward Of Industry" are given by the
village community. These tourna.
ments are attended by lovers Of
chess from far and near, During
the last half century several chess
congresses of wide interest have alss
been held at Strobeck.
From a very early time the Stro-
beckers have had the privilege Of
challenging to a game of chess any
prince or nobleman or exalted per.
sonage who happens to pass through
their village. In the year 1851 the
great elector of Brandenburg wai
challenged in this way and in mem
ory of the event presented to tbs
villagers a carved board and a sci
of silver chessmen, still preserved.
How chess became the ruling pas
sion of Strobeck has never been as.
certained, but the legend most gen
orally believed sets forth that in ths
eleventh century q famous political
prisoner was confined in an ancient
tovvr which still stands in the center
of the village. Time hung heavy Oh
his hands, and, being lover of chess
he begged for 4 set of men. Nont
was to be had. Then the prisoner
carved set for himself.
But he must have antagonists
One by one his warders learned the
game. The peasants Of the village
we're taking turns to guard him
Soon they all knew how to play, and
all became enthusiasts.

AN AWFUL SHOWING

Delegate Rodey of New Mexico,
ade the startling statement be-
fCre the house committee on terri
tories, that in all the forty years OF
territorial life enjoyed by New
Mexico the records show that the
railroads within that territory
have never lost a suit at law, nor
paid one dollar in damages for loss
of life. Mr.. Rodey is an attorney
and he made that statement boldly
and in two hours plea for joint
statehood, that was his principal
argument. If that be true our sis
ter territory is as badly corpora
ton ridden as is Arizona, and we
can see no use of hoping for relief
by uniting the two as one state.
A prominent Arizona attorney
IN searching the records of Arizona
courts during our territorial exis'
tence discovered that only one case
bad ever been decided against a
railroad company for loss of life,
and that was for only $500. One
other case was decided against the
railroads but was reversed.
What a commentary upon our
courts, What q condition for u
supposedly FREQ people, but it
looks to us as though the dawn OF
new era was being ushered in.
The decision of our supreme courts
while always in favor of railroads,
have at least gwen the rousing
good decision in favor OF the tax
paye as against mining corpora
tious, hut il behooves the people
of this territory to be on their
guard. and see that the fruits of
this decision are not lost by neg
lec,, or corruption of our ap-
proaculng legislature. Watch the
men who are nominated, and de-
feat the corporation heelers.
That is the only way to save the
victory put in our bands by the
action of the supreme court. The
railroads evidently own New
Mexico and Arizona, but the com
mon people will keep on working
till by and by these corporations
will lose their grip.-EnterprtSe.
