NOTES
The problem appearing in this column
of March 15 (and which should have
been numbered 6), has' elicited j but few
replies.. What la the difficulty, solvers?
Perhaps the Forsyth notation was too
much for you. -The problem is here re
peated in English notation: White, K
on KB 5, Q on KKt 2,-pawna oi KKt 5.
KK 6. Black, K on QKt 8, Q on KB sq
R on QKt 5,Kt on KKt 3, P on KR 2,
Give Black the move and he mates by
R-KR5. But White has the move how
can he escape? .': ;.v- "-

Editor, Mr. Younkins says: UI will be

So far the game has proceeded along

has been reached; if Black does not de
fend properly, mate will come before all

MISSI8SIPPI-!fBBRA8KA MATCH
' The Mississippi-Nebraska chess match
by-correspondence 13 now - under. -way,
Arrangements for the match were made
' by President M. D. McGrath. of the
Mississippi State Chess Association, and
Secretary C. Q. De France, of the Ne
braska Chess Association, and play be-
' flrun in less than three weeks from the
time challenge was accented. -In-,view
of the fact that President McGrath's
team had to be organized and ranked
within the time mentioned, - this is re
markably quick work. - The Nebraska
team does not include several - of the
strongest correspondence - players, but
His believed : that those playing will
srive a good account of themselves.
Messrs. Biddle, Hinman and Rice asked
to be excused because they are now en-
gazed in playing in the final round- for

Special Offer
The People's Party had its origin and
growth through the Alliance organiza
tions among the farmers. It is essen
tially a party of education a party of
progress. All of the principles which it
originally put forth have steadily grown
in favor. Many of them have been rec
ognized and ' made a part of the plat
forms of one or both of the old political
parties. The Peoples Party has grown
and prospered greatest in the states
where it has pursued a : policy of educa
tionwhere it has taught the people in
principles of government. There is no
class of people so thoroughly acquainted
withpohtical affairs as the members of
the People's Party in Nebraska.' With
pride it points to its leaders as the bright
est intellects in the United States the.
leaders to whom oppressed people in all
other states are turning for relief. It
was the People'3 Party in Nebraska that
first championed the principles and put
forth the men .who are destined to bring
relief . to the ' common people. In Ne
braska' the People's Party, has prospered
and not the least of the factors in its suc
cess is the Independent. Published at
Lincoln - the capital for eleven years it
has continued. to educate the people of
the state. " It has - pounded along the
same lines from . the same stand. It is
the old reliable. Nebraska populists ap
preciate what it has done for them. For
the patronage they have given, it is thank
ful. It has labored faithfully in good times
and in bad. In Iowa the People's Party
paper found it more profitable to give up
the fight for the party and to become a
'strictly Agricultural paper. In Kan
sas the Topeka Advocate, once a fearless
champion of the people has changed its
policy and is now . only an "agricultural
or family paper." The populists ' of In
diana are without a paper, and in all of
those states the party of gold,' trusts and
imperialism is in power. In Nebraska
where the state paper of the party ' has
been educational and has been loyal,
courageous and energetic at all times
the People's Party has prospered as no
where else. The greatest battle is yet
to be fought. Presidential . electors,
state officers, congressmen, the legisla
ture and two United States senators de
pend on the result of the contest. Edu
cation has been the most effective
weapon in the past and it should not be
neglected now. The Nebraska Inde
pendent has been the most successful
educator in the past, is now, and will
continue to' be.
It is always a leader in the struggle'
for "equal rights to all and special privi
leges to none." The trust has doubled
the price of white paper but that is only
a reason why the fight will be the harder.
The special rates announced for new
campaign subscriptions are proportion
ately lower thant1,aiiyisthit!:have ever
been announced lfl'the'past. i Hundreds
have taken advantage of the special offer
and have sent in clubs of five. Many
loyal populists have paid these subscrip
tions from their- own. pockets. They
realize that it is the surest way to get
results at the eletftioWMtnfIrall. To en
courage this plan of canitiaWfn Inde-
pendent proposes to make a rate that is
at this time Below Actual Cost with
Che hope that the circulation may be
sufficiently increased to bring the' aver
age cost per copy down to the special
rate announced. It costs less per copy
to print 50,000 papers than it does to
print 40,000. To meet the rate we have
announced we must add 6,000 new sub
scribers. Will you help?' Will you do
your part? Will you get five or ten of
your neighbors to subscribe? " If you do
not care to take the time or if you can
not get them to subscribe will you pay
for it and send it to them anyhow? We
have met you more than half way. Here
is the offer: :
The Independent every week from now until
after the election,' seven months: To one new
subscriber 35c, to three new subscribers $1, to
five new subscribers $1.50, to ten new sub
scribers $3. i
No other reform paper in the United
States has made any such an offer as
that The Independent has the best
facilities in the state for printing papers
in large numbers. It is printed upon
the largest and fastest Press west of
Philadelphia, a quadruple Hoe perfect
ing machine with a capacity or 48,000
eight page papers ; printed and folded in
one hour. When you are in Lincoln you
are invited to call and see it in the Press
building 13th and N streets. With all
these facilities the Independent has an
'noriced the lowest rate poss. Je, even
allowing for the increased circulation.

part? ;

IN THE SICK ROOM
We have bud the care of a patient dur
ing an attack of pneumonia which last
ed several weeks, and ' with the assis
tance and direction of an excellent phy
sician.had the pleasure of seeing her
recover. The doctor told us that in such
cases as this a great deal depended on
the care the patient receives, and per
haps a few suggestions will be helpful to
those who take the position of nurse in
the sickroom.
The pain in the side which is often
present in this and other . diseases is
greatly relieved by the application of a
mustard plaster, hot water bag, a bag of
hot salt or bran, or a hot iron. A dozen
ears of corn boiled in water for ten or
fifteen minutes then packed about the
body will induce a profuse perspiration
and relieve pain but great care is neces
sary to prevent the patient from taking
cold when they are removed. When
the fever is high, sponge the body all
over with warm water in which boracic
acid has been dissolved, using a tea
spoonful of acid to a gallon of water.
This should de repeated every morning
and evening, and never fails to have a
cooling, soothing effect, causing the pa
tient to fall into a quiet, refreshing sleep.
It is a great help in reducing the tem
perature of the body.
Fever weakens the whole body and
the eyes are often permanently injured
unless some care is bestowed on them.
See that they are not exposed to, bright
sunshine, and use a lamp shade at night
or place the lamp so that the light will
not shine on the face of the patient.
When the cough is hard and dry, rub
the chest and back with a mixture com
posed of equal parts of lard and turpen
tine, then cover with a hot flannel -cloth.
Repeat this every two hours until he ob
tains relief. In very severe cases remove
the clothing, have the room warm and
plenty of hot water at hand. Set a pan
of water on the stove where it will keep
hot and put a tablespoonf ul of red pep
per in it. Fold a cloth three or four
times, wring it out of the water and cov
er the chest with at. Change every fif
teen minutes. This will bring the inflam
mation to the surface, ana has been
known to save life - in several instances
when the doctor gave but little hope of
recovery.
The mouth often becomes so thickly
coated that it is almost impossible to
taste anything, and is very unpleasant.
Put a little boracic acid in half a cupful
of water, dip a soft white rag into it and
wash the tongue, gums ' and roof of the
mouth with it three or four times a day.
It will help to remove the coating and a
great , deal of the bitter taste which us
ually troubles them.
" How should we comb her hair?" I
asked the doctor when, after several
days illness, the patient was too weak
and nervous to have it disturbed. "Let
it alone until she is stronger;" was the
reply, "then rub vaseline into it, let it
remain all night, and the combing will
not be a difficult task." "We found this
plan a good one, for when one is so weak
that the least exertion tires them out,
they should be kept as quiet as possible.
