Correspondence chess Is too slow for him, but he delights ia a match by wire. However, his game with Mr. Raasmussen shows no loss of brilliancy because it was pending several months. Speaking of his op ponent. Judge Whitfield says: "Mr. Itaasmussea is a brilliant player. I like hi style attacking, open, gal lant; not on the Stelnltz, but on the Morphy pattern. A NEW RECORD BOOK. The idea of having a record book for correspondence games Is not new. Neither is the plan of hating a chess board diagram to enter the game posi tion at end of every tenth move. But the book now in press will neverthe less be "new." Last week the Chess Editor sent out a postal card description of the book to a number of well known correspon dence chess players, and the returns hare been very gratifying. To date the following players have ordered one or more of the records: NEBRASKA. W. W .Wyckoff. York. N. G. Griffln, St. Edward. W. R. Ellis. Bloomfield. IOWA. Harry McCall, Washington.

Eggen, Prof. B. Moser, C. R. Oldham and A. H. Rob bins are among those who found the way. Some comment is made regard ing the terms Q Kt and K Kt, used in the mating solution. As stated at the time of publication, this problem was stolen from George H. Walcott's col umn In the Boston Post. Now, Mr. Walcott's rule Is this: "When there are two white or black rooks or two white or black knights in a problem, one shall be called the king's and the other the queen's piece, according to the following rule: When the two pieces are on different files, the piece that Is on or nearer the K R file shall be the king's piece, the oth er the queen's piece; when the two plecej are on the same file, the piece that 1 on or nearer the first (home) rank shall be the king's piece, etc., unless proof to the contrary exists In the position. George 11. Walcott Suggestions are always in order. My thanks are due all the boys who picked me up on that explanation that didn't explain. Believe it did some good, however, for it aroused a few who otherwise might have kept on sleeping. W. E. Napier, formerly of Brook lyn. Is now in Pittsburg. Pa., and has opened a cbess department in the Dis patch (Monday issue). I Thomas J. Middleton. editor of the j Ellis County Mirror. Waxahachie.Tex., i and one of the strongest chess players i in that state, believes It wise for a I state association to accept members living in ,tber states adjoining, at last until they have state organiza tions at home. No doubt of it. And. inasmuch as the Kcna3 association tems to have gone to pieces, why -u1dn't the players of Kansas join the Nebraska chest association?

C A., is now playing 14 games by correspondence. He -says: Of course I keep a record of the moves In a book, like everybody else, but to facilitate a quick study of the games at odd moments I have ar ranged a wall map or number of chess boards. I procured a piece of check ered cloth with squares of about Inch; for men I am using bits of pasteboard with the initial or stamp of the proper piece in it; these are attached to the proper square on the cloth by means of hooked pins." At each step in the game the pieces are moved on these wall boards and the current position can be seen at a glance. No copyright, I nope. Doctor, for many of the other boys might use your plan advantageously. Play has begun in the Twentieth century tournament of the Pillsbury National Correspondence Chess asso ciation. Messrs. Hald, Powell, De France and others of the Nebraska as sociation are playing In this tourna ment. Every Nebraska player ought to enter the big East vs. West match to begin next month. Only one game will be played by each entrant. lf you are not a member of the P. N. C. C. A., send a dollar for dues to L. W. Parke, 371 Fortieth St., Chicago, III., and enter this match. We west erners must . uphold the honor of our section of the country. If you are al ready a -member, send . in your entry at once. No entrance fee is charged. THE BANKER'S TRUSTS It Is Backbone of all Other Trusts John D. Rockefeller Is at The Head of N - It. ;'- The bankers' trust is described by Prof. Commons as follows: The proper way to study the trust question Is to go through the list of trusts and seek out the particular legal obstacles by which each one has kept competitors from reaching a market on equal terms: The first obstacle in the way is the bank monopoly. I said that capital is abundant at low rates of interest. But capital Is different from money. Money may be cornered, while capital is abundant. No matter how low the rate of interest, if you cannot get money on equal 'terms with your com petitor you are crowded to the wall. It is not low rates of interest, but equal rates that enable the new com petitor to come in. But the rate of interest you pay de pends also on your own personal credit If your credit is not good you will pay high rates evea though capital and money are abundant. Now credit is the very heart of modern business. He who cannot get credit cannot get mon ey and is out of the race. The con trol of credit is in the hands of the banks. If the banks get together and form a bankers, trust, then they have the power to discriminate against the credit of the small competitor. They can prevent him from getting money when he needs It. They can depress the value cf his stocks so that they will not be accepted as collateral. They can discount his bills at ruinous rates. They can make his collections difficult. Soon he is compelled to sell out to the trust on its terms. The banking monopoly is the one serious monopoly that dwarfs all others and support all others. And this banking monopoly has already been practically attained in the city of New York, "the money center of the country. It is al ready reaching out for other cities. Boston and Chicago already have felt it. Small banks, are taking alarm. Through it? influence on the money market it controls all other enterprises Through its correspondent banks it has representatives in every city and town of the United States. This trust has not yet been formally organized, tW it is effective in the fol lowing ways: First the consolidation of banks and trtxst companies.' Several consolida tions have been made in New York within six months. Second, interchange of directors: When the directors in the more pow erful banks have seats In other banks, they control their policy. Third, intimidation of the smaller banks. By these three methods the banks of New York are practically joined in a trust, and the Standard Oil company, is its organizer and backer. The Stand ard Oil Trust has for thirty years fed on railroad favoritism. Now it is feed ing on bank favoritism. Through rail road discriminations it ruined its competitors in oil. Through bank discriminations it is swallowing other industries. It already has control of salt. It raided the stock markets through its control of government de posits, and in the destruction that fol lowed it seized the gas and electric light companies of New York and got the copper stocks of Boston at half their value.. In these cases It gained a controlling part of the stock. But this controlling ownership is not al ways necessary. Having gotten the bank monopoly, every other corpora tion i3 eager to have a Standard Oil man on its board of directors. One Standard Oil 'man on the board of di rectors of a corporation has more In fluence than all the rest the others know that he holds the whip he con trols their credit, which is the very breath-of their life. Or, what is bet ter, he controls the credit of their com petitors. Even the greatest railway in the world, the New York Central, is glad to welcome William Rockefeller as the director of Its secret delibera tions. The policy of the railroad henceforth is the policy of the Stand ard Oil and the banking monopoly; "The same is true of trusts and other corporations. It is no surprise that one of the independent tobacco manu facturers was recently unable in New York to get a loan even on govern ment bonds and was compelled on that account to sell his factory to the to bacco trust. With a Standard Oil bank dj rector on the board of the tobacco trust he was a. spotted man at every bank and trust company in the city. He might perhaps have gone to a country bank, for. not all of them have as yet learned to bend the knee, but his experience" in New York ' was enough for him. He had hitherto com peted successfully with the tobacco trust,' but he was doomed' when he struck the bankers' trust. - The bankers' trust is becoming the backbone of all the trusts. They all must sooner or later articulate from this if permitted to continue.

J Bryan From Speaking- on the Lake Front In Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 2. In view of the ac tion of Montgomery, Ward & Co. in interfering to prevent the erection of a tent on the lake front, in which it was announced that William J. Bryan would speak, the democratic national committee feels it. to be its duty to take some step to prevent the recur rence of such outrages upon the right of free speech. The committee was loath to believe that men prominent in commercial cir cles would resort to such means In or der to accomplish partisan ends. The committee recognizes in this kind of coercion and Intimidation of voters and interference with the rights of American citizens, a growing political evil which must be checked sooner or later, and believe that this is the best possible time to check it. The inter ference of Montgomery, Ward & Co. to prevent Mr. Bryan from speaking on the lake front, where Grand Army of the Republic tents were erected with the consent of this firm and where Mc Kinley wagons have held forth daily at the noon hour 4n the interest of McKinley's re-election, and where the same firm piled its building material for months while erecting its new building, is of a kind with the action of Mr. Griggs, member of a St. Paul Wholesale firm, who announced that he would discharge any travelling man employed by the firm who would vote for Mr. Bryan. The national committee believes that the only way such evils can be checked Is by the people themselves. That the people may know what has been done and act accordingly, the committee proposes to give the widest possible publicity to the action of this Chicago firm. Senator Jones, chair man of the committee, has prepared a letter "which was sent together with an account of the affair to the follow ing persons: The officers of the 20,000 clubs in the National association of democratic clubs with directions that it be distri buted among their 3,000,000 members. "The 40,000 precinct representatives of the democratic national committee. , The 6,000 friendly newspapers on the rolls of the press bureau. . It will also be printed in the' two official publications of the committee, "The National Democrat" and "The Working Democracy," with a com bined circulation of 100,000. Senator Jones letter follows: . 75C grays and castors, , , 01 flfl .v I lUU - WEAR GOODS 75 C r I sale price sale price $3 75 26 inches long, all colors, sale O I fl flfl .v.... 1 1 Uiuu Thanksgiving SaleMillinery Tam O'Shanters, cloth or leather tops, sale price Qq Camels ar Tam O'Shanters, all wool, sold everywhere at 75c, sale price 49 Q Street hats in all colors and styles at 97c $125 nd up to $275 ' Trimmed hats worth $1.50, sale CRft price '.

"The proscriptive spirit evinced by this firm should' be resented and re buked by all lovers of political free dom and fair play. "Remember the .name; keep a rec ord of it; see that your neighbors know it; . and . that this action Is not now nor hereafter forgotten. "The people alone can correct this growing evil, this spirit of coercion and intimidations. Let them act. .. . "JAMES K. JONES, "Chairman Democratic National Com mittee." . Speaking of the action of Montgom ery,. Ward. & Co., in preventing Mr. Bryan from delivering an address In a tent on the lake front Mr. Abbott, manager of the bureau of the national committee, said: "Montgomery, Ward & Co. do a big mail order business with the farmers in the western states, who are almost to a unit for Mr. Bryan. The action of the firm in enjoining the erection of the tent for Mr. Bryan is looked upon by everyone as being nothing but a piece of cheap, insolent politics. It puts the house of Montgomery, Ward & Co. right on a plane with the whole sale house in St. Paul, which an nounced that if any of its employes voted for Bryan they would be dis charged." . Bryan's Eloquence Editor Independent: I have re ceived the papers containing the ex cerpts from Bryan's speeches col lection of literary gems as well as political thoughts. But at the pop ulist delegate convention at Lincoln at the close of a short address, coun selling unity of purpose and action, some one asked Bryan why he had favored the signing of the peace trea ty. His reply, thrilling and extem poraneous, contains the following bit of oratory that deserves to remain a gem of literature for all time. Reply to the assertion that the Phil ippines were ours because we had bought them for $20,000,000 and there fore had a right do as we pleased with them, he said: "We tell them they bought the Fili pinos for two dollars and a half apiece. They reply, WTe bought the land and the Inhabitants go with the land-' "Yes, you place value on the soli, but when that clay is moulded by the Divine hand into the Image of Its Maker has breathed Into It the breath of life, and becomes a living soul, you count It of less value than the earth from which it was made." In giving utterance to the above his whole being was exalted, his counte nance shone with the pure light of truth and rectitude. Mingled with condemnation of a position so out of harmony .with God and nature. ' - W. H. CAMPBELL. Whiten the Teeth and Sweeten the Breath Try a Tooth Wash made by a Lincoln Dentist.

WOODS NATURAL HISTORY A Rare Opportunity Offered Readers of The In dependent to Get This Valuable Book 600 PAGES 600 ILLUSTRATIONS 147 SUBJETCS IN COLORS The Independent is prepared to offer its readers the most complete, authentic and thoronghly reliable Natural History that was ever put opon the market. Woods Natural History of the world 600 pages 600 illustrations 147, subjects , in colors. A book nearly two inches thick with pages 6x9 inches. The cover is a work of art in colors. It is impossible to give in this announcement more than" a slight idea of the magnitude of thin great history. It virtu ally goes into the haunts of all animals and shows them as they live. Wood's Natural History is the rec ognized authority all over the world. Bound in heavy illumi nated paper covers. Un til this new edition was firinted Wood's Natural listory never sold in cloth for less than $1.75. The disappear ance of one specie of animal after another from the face of the earth, the extinction of some of the most inter esting creatures known, renders a work of this kind more valuable as time goes on,. And there never was in the history of the world so much at tention given to the habits of wild beasts as at present. The study of tneir lives, the efforts to get in sympathy with them, is aided by lec tures, articles, stories, etc., which made this cyclopedia of animal life indispensable to one who wou.d keep up with the times. Children, especially, are deprived not only of unlimited pleasure, but an im portant branch of their education, if they do no! have WOOD'S NATURAL HIS TORY. Thousands of the descriptions of ,th auituals, both domestic and wild, are accompanied with anecdotes relative t the specie, with hundreds oi vivid pictures, in black and in color, illustrating them true to life. These engravings give a clear idea of what the animals of the world are, where tbay roam and how they live. The author gave years of his life to the complication of the facts contained in this great volume, and was assisted by many of the leading naturalists of the world. ' - NO. 39-SPECIAL.
