There must be some chess players in
Minneapolis as the following from the
Messenger indicates:
Minneapolis, Kan March Is, 1906.
Mr.. W. DeNinny, Barnard, Kansas.
Dear Sir.-The chess players of Min
neapolls have been expecting to get
copy of the Barnard Bee with the score
of the chess match that was played
here between yourself and Messrs.
Truitt and Gentry SO far it has failed
to appear. How about it2 Let US
hear from you in the matter. Yours,
MINNEAPOLIS CHESS CLUB.
The writer received the above COM
municatiOn something over week
ago and would have answered sooner,
only being under the impression that
we had mentioned the matter of the
match games briefly Cone couldn't ex-
pect US to have much to say) in the
issue following the match, we laid the
card away until we could find time to
go over our file. However, we failed
to find the matter looked for and now
hasten to Tess up. Messrs. Gentry and
Truitt wallopped US good and plenty in
the series of five games each, the
writer taking only two games, one from
each of his opponents.
NeVerth eless, we do not regret the
games, in that they made us better ac-
quainted with two such splendid gen
tlemen as John Gentry and Mark Tru-
lit. They are true lovers of the game
and fair layers.-Barnard Bee.

INDIGESTION

stomach trouble is not really a sickness,
but a symptom. It is a symptom that
certain set of nerves is ailing. Not the
voluntary nerves that enable you to walk

no control
I have not room here to explain how
these tender, tiny nerves control and op-
crate the stomach. How worry breaks
them down and causes Indigestion. How
misuse wears them out and causes dys-

sympathy. I have no room to explain
how these nerves may be reached and

stronger by a remedy spent years in

To Prove Perjury.

In his opening statement to the jury
District Attorney Bristol said the gov
ernment expected to prove that Watson
had committed perjury in making final
proof on his homestead before James S.
Stewart, United States Commissioner
at Fossil. This is alleged to have taken
place June 20, 1904 The government
would prove, he said, that without hav-
ing complied with the provisions rela-
tive to settlement upon, improvement
and cultivation of his homestead, Wat
son went before the Commissioner and
took and oath that he had complied with
all Of them, and thus committed perjury.
The evidence would show that he had
lived in other parts of the state great
deal of the time during which he was
supposed to have lived on the land, and
had been engaged in occupations that
rendered it inconsistent and practically
impossible to have complied with the
law. 1t would show that he had not
lived on the place, had not built cabin,
and had failed to cultivate the land or
otherwise improve it. The defense that
would be made that Watson was sick
part of the time after his filing, and
before final proof should be taken into
consideration by the jury, said Mr..
Bristol, but the evidence would show
that this did not disable him to the ex-
tent Of failing to live on the place and
follow the requirements of the home
stead laws.
Judge Bennett, in behalf Of Watson,
told the jury that his client had acted
on the common belief in that part of |
the country that to be on homestead |
once in six months was all the law re
quired, and that he had oheyed the law |
rs he understood it. He would prove, he
said, that Watson had spent most Of his
time in Eastern Oregon working about
1t different places, that he was sick d
part Of the time and could not go onto
Ehe land and had acted in good faith

JEALOUS or HIS POPULARITY

WASHINGTON, August 0 tspecial)
"A fact known TO most everybody i
that President Roosevelt IL not populal

Congress. TIE has hls friends there. oI
course, loyal and devoted friends, like
Senator Lodge and others only slightly
less known, but the average run of re-
publican senators and representatives do
not cnthusc when the name OF Roose-
welt Il mentioned, In public utterances
and formal interviews they extol The
virtues Of the president, but in private
conversation they criticize most Of his
official and private acts.
Situation Unparalleled.
II would seem paradoXical situa-
ton, therefore, that Mr.. Roosevelt's
popularity with the people IL the chief
thing upon which these republican
statesmen count 10 perpetuate their ma
jority In Congress. They already have
vet to work to make President Roose.
welt tho issue In this years congress
sional campaign. and from every hust-
ings in the land, the argument will be
advanced that the return OF republi,
can majority to the siStieth congress
will be an endorsement OF Mr.. Roosevelt
and his administration, while an adverse
verdict at the polls win be reputation
Of his policies.
Here Is Senator Dick, head Of the
republican organization In Ohio Jour-
neying to Oyster Bay to secure from
the president message Of approval to
be spread as oil upon the troubled
waters Of Ohio politics. In the camp Of
Roosevelt, Senator Dick IL not counted
among the faithful, lie il not an open
enemy, 1t Is true, but his sympathies, 1t
il said ARE not always with the admin
istration, An attempt by anti.Dick re-
publicans in Ohio to take advantage OF
this fact threatened to cause trouble so
the senator hastens to the summer capt
tai to get certificate Of good character,
Nor is the Ohio situation a peculiar
one. Scores Of other republican mem-
bers Of Congress who dislike the presi-
dent personally are forced to trade upon
his popularity Or face the probability Of
defeat at the polls, They do not dare go
home and tell their constituents their
real sentiments toward Mr.. Roosevelt.
Probably there never was another situa-
ton like this in the history Of American
politics. But that is not greatly to be
marvelled at. Since Mr.. Roosevelt be-
came the leader Of his party, numerous
situations have been created that were
without precedent.
