Can Always See the Errors.

None but the initiated know what
accuracy is required in a printing
office. The average reader who de-
tects a misspelled word or a letter
turned up side down feels that his
work is not accomplished until he
has called the attention OF the ovel-
worked editor to this glarine defect.
He does not notice the thousands Of
letters and words that are correctly
placed. but his eagle eye is on the
one that is out OF place. So it is
with u deeds. Man does a thou
sand good deeds and no attention is
paid to them, but if he make a
misstep it is flashed all over the
world. a life time may be spent in
building up Il reputation that may
be wrecked in a moment.

given that was very much enjoyed.
A. j. Curtis, in behalf of the men,
bers of ghanka lodge, presented MIR.
Hollands with a handsome smoking
set as a slight token of regard that
was felt for him. Mr.. Curtis spoke
OF the sixteen years of association
with the Odd Fellows that Mr.. Hol-
lands had experienced and of the
splendid work which had been per-
formed by him for the benefit uf the
lodge, of the fact that he had passed
through all of the Offices of the lodge
and that he was n of the faithful
members of the order. Mr.. Curtis
expressed the genuine regret of the
order that these pleasant associa-
tions were to be terminated. In re-
Spouse Mr.. Hollands sincerely thank
ed the Odd Fellows for the expression
OF kindness toward him and he re-
GREETED that it will be necessary for
him to cut off his associations, al
though he will still retain his mem

ed a fine supper WIS spread in.the ad-
Joining room and the Odd Fellows
and Rebekabs were gathered around

M and the evening was very much

IMPORTANT BUSINESS MOVE
Mitchell National Bank Purchased two
Fine Business Lots and Ex-
poets to Build

1t is with a great deal OF pleasure
and satisfaction that The Republic
can is able to announce that the
Mitchell National bank has complet-
ed the purchase Of two business lots
adjoining its own property, the trans
action having been in negotiation for
some little time. The property was
owned by Jos. Harker and consisted
OF their fine stone building on the
lot adjacent to the bank building and
the adjoining piece of property on
which is a small frame building.
In conversation with President
Smith he stated that the Mitchell
National expects to erect a bank
building this year, and to secure
more room he was able to effect a
trading proposition with Mayor Sils.
by whereby a fifty foot front could
be secured. He traded the bank
building for Mayor Silshy's building
and thus gets a fine building location
for the kind of structure the bank
expects to erect. just what the plans
are for the future Mr.. Smith is unable
to give in detail.

DEAD AFTER 10 DAYS
Mrs. Rose Diehl Died of Heart Di
eas at Mt. Vernon but not
Found for 10 Days.

Saturday evening about S:l5 O'Clock
Mt. Vernon people were shocked on
finding the dead body of Mrs. Rose
Diehl in her own home, after a search
which had covered the greater por-
tlon OF 10 days. On the evening of
March 81, Mrs. Diehl went to her
nome, which is located near the
creamery in the business part of
town, after she had visited a day
with a neighbour. An hour after
wards some friends called on her,
out were unable to gain admittance,
although a lamp was seen burning
IN the house. The following Satur-
day evening the people began won-
derlng what had become Of Mrs.
Delhi but all Inquiries were fruitless
and another attempt was MADE to
into the house without scucess.
L here was still a dim light burning.
The Sunday evening following a
young man went into the house and
after thoroughly searching the rooms
tailed 10 discover the body.
IL bad been the custom of Mrs.
Dlehl for several years to go visit
ing II place and another without
saying anything about it to her
friends. and the supposition was that
she had ps ne to Plankinton to visit
the family of III. Devlin. A letter
received at the Mt. Vernon post
office for Mrs. Diehl from the Devlin
family showed that she was not there
and the people became alarmed and a
vigorous search was instituted again.
Saturday evening last another visit
was made to the home of Mrs. Diehl
and this time her tody was found
in the kitchen. 1t was evident that
on returning home she lighted the
lamp and commenced to build a fire
IN the kitchen stove. 1t was then
that she was overcome with heart
failure, as her body was i'm a kneel-
ing position, her head having fallen
forward on Il chair, her shoulders and
head being partially covered with a
white shawl, and the rest Of her
body being partially hidden behind
the stove. 1t was by reason of this
position that she was not found when
the house was investigated before.
The body was kindly cared for by
friends and Monday morning the de-
ceased was brought to Mitchell for
interment by the side of her husband
and son in Graceland cemetery. She
was SO years of age.

he said il was his intention that
just as soon as the Mitchell national
vacated the. present bank building he
would have it torn down and erect
on the site a modern two-story bust
ness building, which will be occupied
by 81. g. Nichols for his music and
jewelry store. Mr.. Silsby said he
hoped to get his structure under way
within sixty days.
This will make two additional new
structures for the business district
and doubtless Main street will be a
scene of much activity this summer

SATURDAY EVENING CONCERT
Talent Appeared in a Fine Pro-
gram at Odd Fellows Hall
Were Appreciated.

Saturday evening a fine concer
program was given i'm Odd Fellows
hall fer the benefit of the Daughters
OF Rebekah and under the direction
OF Prof. r. r. Otto. While The at.
tendance was fair it would have been
much larger had the concer beer
held Oh any other evening, as a mum.
Der of tickets were sold i'm advance,
the holders Of which were unable to
attend when the date was CHANGED.
The program opened with a chorus
of six voices, composed of Mrs. Emily
Bras-Swift. Misses Vermilyea.
Beard. Kimble, Messrs. Downey and
Boyles. which rendered "Gipsy

numbers during the evening, present
ing Merry Miller from Rob Roy,
the solo being sung by Mrs. r. Il.
Otto. and "Rustlc Song from the
same opera, the solos and duet being
rendered Inv Mrs. Swift and Mr..
Downey. These numbers we're given
in good taste and harmony of voices.
Miss ELIZA Vermilyea sang a So
prano SOTO, "Gypsy Maiden," which
received merited commentator and
her singing was very.pleasing. Mrs. IL.
+. Otto played a pianosolo in a skill
full manner that impressed all with
hpr tlnn uri1itu i'm t1oi- Iirno{;o, l,o,
number being an exceedingly difficult
one in technique. Mrs. Otto also
played the accomplishments during
the evening and handled them in a
very acceptable manner. Two Sc
lectioas Of readings were given, one
by Leo Doyle when he recited moth
in TO Say that was rendered en-
c%eptionally we'll and Miss Leota
Cope, who presented "a Scene i'm a
Photograph Gallery" that could not
we'll have been improved upon. Mrs.
and Virgil Boyles sang the
"Mandolin Serenade' in a way that
brought forth liberal applause for the
very painstaking way i'm which they
presented this selection. Miss Beard,
who has a very sweet contralto voice
and which she handles with ease and
good effect, sang "Love Song that
was received with much a%pprobation.
MIR. Bolyes, whose bass solo work is
always higly acceptable, rendered
"Bandolero" with pleasing effect.
Mrs. Otto and Miss Beard rendered
a piano duet from II Trovatore that
received fine treatment at their
hands. Prof. Otto sang the TOR
eador'' in costume and his %presenta-
ton OF it was very taking indeed.
and his voice was particularly attrac-
tive in the selection. Three of Prof.

upon.

The Opera Season.

Evidently the opera season has
bcen overdone in Mitchell this win
ter, for the Riggs Opera Co. has not
drawn very large houses at their two
performances. Friday evening "'Ihe
Rajah of Altara'' was presented.
but it yielded nothing new in the
Operatlc line, as it was merely a re-
production Of "Slid Pasha," which
was given twice by another opera
company early in the winter. With
two three-nigbt engagements by the
Columbia Opera Co.. two nights by
home talent and the several musical
comedy companies this line Of en-
tertainment has been pretty we'll
filled up, and it is not to be wonder
ed at that the attendance has not
been large. The company made a
strong effort to work we'll i'm the
opera and it went very SATISFACTORY
ly, there being several GOOD special
ties introduced. Ralph Riggs, the
comedian. in his sailor character,
caught the fancy of the audience In
great shape, and he made a good
hit in his singing and dancing spe-
cialties. That quartet speciality by
the Misses Witchie and Cosg1if and
Riggs and Doyle was a happy stunt
and they were recalled several times.
The other principals OF the evening
sustained their roles in good shape,
and the chorus work went along
smoothly.

the GAME OF CHESS.
se 10 Probably tho Oldest Pastime
Known to Man.

Nno@n 10 NAN.
The oldest game known to man
is chess. The origin of this game,
or mimic battle, as Goldsmith call
ed it in his translation OF Vida,
dates back to 5000 B. c. 1t is rich
in legendary anecdotes, and its VEN
erable nomenclature has been trans
mitted through all changes in lan-
guage from the earliest tongues Of
the Icdo-European to the latest.
A peculiar thing about chess,
with its combination of idle amuse-
ment and extreme mental toll, is
that it is the only game sanctioned
by pricsthoods of oil beliefs. The
principal piece in the game derives
its name, king, from tho Persian
shah, or ruler.
Many men whose names have
gvne down to posterity, such as
Charlemagne, Tamerlane, Frederick
the Grea:, Charles XII, Voltaire,
Rousseau and Ben Franklin, have
been devotees and students Of the
game.
Chess is Asiatic in origin, and
originally more attention was paid
to it by Asiatic students and philos-
ophers than by men of western coun-
tries. OF late years, however, its
popularity has greatly increased
among western nations, and nation
al chess tournaments are now held
by experts from nearly all countries.
The history of chess may be di-
| vided into three periods age Of
the primeval Indian game, extend
| ing from its origin down to the sixth
century A. D.; the age of the me-
| diaeval chess, from the sixth GEN.
tury to the sixteenth century, and
the age Of the modern chess, from
tho last of the sixteenth century to
the present day. OF course many
changes in the method of play took
place in the course of development
Of the game, and as it ia played now
it is different from the game the
ancients knew. j.. -.
| Chess has been played in nearly
every country. Chessboards have
been found a1Eong tho ruins ct Pom.
| peii, and in the Roman Forum one
may still see the outline Of a check
erboard roughly scratched on the
| stone walk by some senatorial page
Of Caesars time. In the orient both
games have been played from time

Englishmen attended dinner at one
Of the Neapolitan hotels on the water
front.
"After the dinner the Euglishmen
went out for walk along the embank-
mens. The sea Was rough. The spray
splaahed over them. Soon they saw

statute it nodded to them gravely. :

when amazingly fresh when all things
were considered, they sat down to
breakfast the next morning their
waiter said to. them: Did the gentle
