Problem No. 17: Key-move, K-Kt sq. a waitiag move pure and simple. A Black P at KR 2 would do as well as the R to prevent mate on the move; but in that eveat there would be three key-moves. K-Kt, TLX 2 and R 2. The Black Kt dare not move, because of R-Kt 8 mate; and if the R moves, B x Kt mates. Accordingly the waiting move for the key compels the Biack B to move. If B-B 2 or Kt 3, Kt x B mates in two moves. Hence B-R 4 is the only strong move for Blacks Then White shuts off the bishop's range by R-Kt ; if 2 B x R ch. White re plies 3 Kt x B mate.

NEBRASKA CHESS ASSOCIATION, Article V of the constitution pro vides that "amendments to this consti tution shall be made by a two-thirds vote of the members after the same has been presented to the executive board in writing." The executive board con sists of the , president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer. The secretary-treasurer has submitted in writ ing to the other members of the exec utive board an amendment to Section 5 of Article III, in words and figures as follows: "Resolved, that Section 5 of Article III of the constitution of the Nebraska Chess Association shall be amended by adding thereto the follownig words and figures, to-wit- "Provided, further, that in the event that the members of this association shall decide by ballot to hold an over-the-board tournament at any time, the executive board shall arrange a schedule of play and may re quire each member entering such tour nament to pajr a tournament fee of not to exceed fifty cents ($.50), to be paid to tne secretary-treasurer and ex-N pended in the purchase of prizes to be awarded ' at the conclusion of such tournament." The secretary-treasurer has also sub mitted to the other members of the ex ecutive board an amendment to Rule VI, as follows: "Rule VI. Each player shall play at least one game with every other player In his section. A won game shall count one (1) to the winner. For each game lost one-half () shall be deductea from the score of the loser. Drawn games shall count (0) for each palyer." In support of this rule, which is based on the able argument made by James Mason in his "Principles of Chess," the secretary submits the ofl lowing illustration: Six players, Jones, Brown, Smith; Black, Greene, and Clark, have convj pleted a tournament. Jones has trick of suggesting a draw when?th mid-game is scarcely begun, often it a time when his adversary might: wli by correct play. Brown on the - con trary .plays until a win or draw 's certain. The players score as follovl: Won. jO 2 3 1 1 1 S Lost. Drafj Jones . Brown Smith . Black . Greene Clark . 2 0 1 Totals 8 Now, under the present rule of counting a drawn game at foxteach player, Smith wins first 'place; bnes, Brown, and Black tie for f -second: Greene is fifth, and Clark sixth, Un der the rule proposed. Smith, of course wjus nrst piace wiin a score ot a; Brown gets second with a score of 1: Black, third with a score of my while Jones and Greene tie for fourth place with each a score of 0. Clark, of course is sixth in both cases. I Under our present rule, Jones ana Brown tie witn a score of 2H to 2 each; yet it it not, hard to see that the latter has honestly earned a better placet' than the former. - Probably two of Jones games might have been lost by hlmiad they not been "drawn by agreement." The secretary would be glad to hear from the members their views on the pro posed amendments. If The second annual tournament now lacks but one game of being completed so far as concerns the sectional tour naments. Messers Swim and Ellis in Section B have not yet completed their j i game, if Ellis wins, lie and Je France tie for second place; If the game be drawn, he and Brega tie for third place; but If be loses, he gets fourth Dlace. Hence, thlrf came is an important one in determining thel prize-winners in that section The players rank as follows in the three sections: r Section A. f J 6 Won. Lost 1. Rasumssen 2.

Tlie winner of this tournament will be awarded some book on chess as a prize. . The secretary has mailed his annual financial report to all members, to gether with blank ballot for vote on officers and on the questions of a sum mer tournament and a ?third corres pondence tournament. He urges that all members respond promptly witn their votes.. - I . Suggests a Bohemian It seems -to be the unanimous opin ion of the Bohemian voters of the state, that our people should have a place on the fusion, state, ticket this year So far as I am able to learn Mr. C.

I His business abil ity Is unsurpassed. Mr. Svoboda, will without a doubt add strength to the ticket, because the Bohemian, and Polish voters will stay by him.

An Ideal : Climate The first white man to 6et foot on Utah soil, Father Silvestre : Velex" de Escalante, , who reached the GREAT SALT LAKE on the 23rd day of Sept., 1776, wrote in his diaryi "Here the climate is so delicious, the air so balmy, that It is a pleasure to breathe by day and by night." The climate of Utah is one of the richest endowments of nature. On the shores of the Great Salt Lake especially and for fifty miles therefrom in every direction the climate of climates is found. To enable persons to participate in these scenic and climatic attractions and to reach the famous HEALTH, BATHING AND PLEASURE RESORTS of Utah. the UNION PACIFIC has made a rate to OGDEN and SALT LAKE CITY ot one fare for the round trip, plus $2.00, from Lincoln, to be in effect June 21st, July 7th to 10th inclusive, July 18ih and Aug. 2d.

JOSEPH, MO, Grand Island THEGRAYPARROT - By W. W. JACOBS. ., rOopyriht, 1900, by W. W. Jacobc The chief engineer and the third sat at tea on the S. S. Curlew in the East India docks. The small and not over clean steward, . having, placed every thing he could think of upon the table and then added everything the chief could think of, had assiduously poured out two cups of tea and withdrawn by request. The two men ate steadily, conversing between bites and inter rupted occasionally by a hoarse and sepulchral voice, the owner of which, being much exercised by the sight of the food, asked for It, prettily at first and afterward In a way which at least compelled attention. ' "That's pretty good for a parrot, said the third critically. "Seems to kpow What he's saying too. No, don't give if anything. Ifll stop if you do. "There's no pleasure to me in listen ing to coarse language," said the chief He absently dipped! a piece of bread and butter in the third's tea and, losing it, chased It round ait round the bot tom of the cup with his finger, the third regarding the 'operation with an interest and emotion which he was at first unable to understand. "You'd better poiw Yourself out an other cup," he sai4 thoughtfully as he caught the third? eye. "I'm going to," said! the other dryly. "Te man I bought It of," said the chief, giving the TMrd the sop, "said that it was a perfectly respectable par rot and wouldn't know a bad word If it heard It. I hardly like to give it to my wife now." f.i -; "It's no good bing too , particular," said the third, regarding the other with an ill concealed grin. "That's the worst of all you raarried fellows. Seem to think your I wife has got to be wrapped up in brown paper. Ten chances to one s'ae'll be amused." The chief shrugged his shoulders dis dainfully !T ? bought the bird to be company for her," he said slowly. "She'll be very lonesome without me, Rogers." . .' ; - . ; "How do you know?" Inquired the other. ' :? "She said sowas the reply. "When yotf ve been married as Ions as I have,". laid the third, who,5 hav ing been married some 15 years, felt that their uraal positions were some what reversed.' "you'll know that, gen erally speaking, they're glad to get rid of you." j I "What forTf demanded the chief In a voice that Cthello might have envied. "WeU, ycuj get in the way a bit," said Rogers,? with secret enjoyment. "You eee, you upset the arrangements. Housecleaning and all that sort of thing gets interrupted. They're glad to see yqt: back, at first and then glad to see the back of you." "There's wives and wives," said the bridegroom tenderly. .'And ,mlne's a good one," said the third, registered Al at Lloyd's, but she don't worry about me going away. Your wife's 30 years younger than you. Isat she?" "Twetity-five," corrected the other shbrtli "You see, what I'm afraid of Is that she'll get too much attention." "Woli. Jwmen Wte that," remarked the third." v "But 1 don't, dash it!"' cried the chief hotly. "When I think of it, 1 go hot all over boiling hot." "Ttiat won't last," said the other re assttredly. "You won't care twopence thisftime next year." "We're not all alike," growled the chief. I "Some of us have got finer feel ings than others have. I saw the chap net door looking at her as we passed him this moralng." Good heavens !" said the third Idly. f T idon't want any of your blanked impudence," said the chief sharply. TIe put his hat on straight er when he passed us. What do you think of thatr - "Can't say." replied the other, with commendable gravity.' "It might mean Anything." VIf he has any of his nonsense while Pm away. Til break his neck," said the chief passionately. "I shall know of it." The other raised his eyebrows. J'T've asked the landlady to keep her eyes open a bit." said the chief. "My wife Is very- young and simple, so that it Is quite right and proper for her to have a motherly old body to" look after her." "Told your wife? queried Rogers. "No," said the other. "Fact is, Rog ers, I've got an idea about that parrot. I'm going to tell her It's a magic bird and will tell me everything she does while I'm away. Anything the land lady tells me I shall tell her I got from the parrot. For one thing. I don't want her to go out after 7 of an evening, and she's promised me she won't. If she does.1 shall know and pretend that I know through the parrot. What do you think of it?" . "Think of It," said the third, staring at him, think of it? Fancy a man tell ing a grown up woman a yarn like that!" . "She believes In warnings and death watches and all that sort of thing," said the chief , "so why shouldn't she?" "Well, you'll know whether she be lieves in it or not when you come back," said Rogers, and it'll be a great pity, because It's a beautiful talker and the best swearer I ever heard," ' . "What do you mean?" said the other. "1 mean It'll get its little neck wrung," said the third. "Well, well see," said Gannett. "I shall know what to think . If it does die." "I shall never see that bird again," said Rogers, shaking his head as the chief took up the cage and handed It to THE REPUBLICAN , fXyjc . IrtsrA administration.! t, . - V.
