CAMDEN HAS A
$25,000.00 FIRE.
Water Pressure in Mains Was
Poor and Company Was
Powerless.
Camden, Nov. 14. —Camden
this afternoon had one of the
most serious and disastrous fires
in its history. The fire was first
discovered in the handsome resi
dence of Hon. Smead Powell,
and before his wife could, turn in
the alarm the entire house was in
flames. Mrs. Powell and her
l»aby had narrow escapes with
their lives.
When the fire company arrived
it was found there was little
or no water pressure in the city
vtater mains, and the men were
powerless to fight the flames,
which had by that time spread to
the large new residence of Judge
C. W. Smith, on the east, and
that of T. L. Jacksen, on the
west.
A volunteer bucket brigade
prevented the flames from pass
ing to the residence of E. A,
Schicker of the land office, bul
could not prevent them frorr
leaping across the fence on the
east to N. U. Scharff’s residence,
Following are the losses and in
surance'
N. U. Scharff, loss $5,500, in
surance $3,000; T. L. Jackson
1 iss $3,500, insurance $1,500; S
I I. Powell, loss $6,000, insurance
$3,500. Contractor Hansen hac
just taken $3,000 insurance or
Judge Smith’s uncompleted res
i fence, and is fully protected. E
A. Schicker’s damage to resident
was slight, and was fully insured

INDEPENDENT’S
BABY CONTEST.
, I Here is the proposition and the
I rules governing the contest:
l There is a handsome $25.OC
. solid gold locket with diamond
setting and solid gold chain, or
. display at the Palace Jewelry
store, to be given away Decem
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boj
or girl under two years of age,
who wins the highest number of
votes as the prettiest and sweet
. est baby. Now the baby that is
[ not pretty is surely sweet, and
; if the wee tot be a little cross at
times, beauty must offset this
badness. Fond parents at least
are expected to think their ba
! bies are both sweet and beauti
ful, and so they do. But to set
tle once for ^J1 the claims of the
under two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
the Independent has inaugurated
a contest that is to be determined
by that cherished right, popular
ballot, and in accordance with
the following rules:
BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
First—No baby that has reach
ed the age of two years Nov. 1,
1904, is eligible to this contest,
nor shall any employe or party
connected with this paper be eli
gible to vote.
Second—Every issue ot the
Daily and Weekly Independent
from November 1 to December
24, will contain a ballot entitling
the holder to one vote in this
contest. For every dollar’s worth
of job, work, advertising and
subscription paid for between
these dates a coupon good for ten
votes will be issued, but no cou
pons will be issued for sums less
than $1.00. Coupons will not be
sold, and will only be issued for
job, ad and subscrpition busi
ness, but extra copies of the In
dependent at 2 cents per copy,
each containing one ballot, will
be sold at this office.
Third—All votes must be sent
j to this office and will be de
! posited in a lock box, to be opened
at 8 o’clock each publication day
i and counted. The daily issue of
j that afternoon will contain the
j total of the several candidates
: and the public will thus be kept
j informed of the voting each day.
[ Fourth—A committee of three
I good business men will be select
ed to canvass the ballots the
morning of Dec. 24 and announce
the winner. All ballots must be
deposited at this office by 11 a.

Suffering
Will Not Help Your
Disease, but Will
Weaken Your
Nerves.
Folks who think it is better to hear
pain than soothe it—are wrong.
Old-fashioned doctors used to say It
was better, because they had nothing
with which to ease pain but dangerous,
heart-paralyzing drugs.
But now, that a safe remedy has
been found. Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills,
it is wrong to suffer, for nothing can be
gained but weakened nerves.
A safe rule to remember is: "When
In pain, take an Anti-Pain Pill.
This will soothe your quivering nerves.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain
by restoring the natural secretions. In
which they differ from opium and sim
ilar narcotic drugs, which relieve pain
by checking the action of the glands.
They are sure and harmless, and are
the latest medical treatment for the
cure of Headache, Neuralgia, Backache,
Rheumatism, Dizziness, Toothache,
Stomachache, Menstrual (Monthly)
Pains. Also nerve irritations like Sea
Sickness, Car-Sickness, Sleeplessness,
Indigestion, etc.
Pleasant to take, eulck In results.
*T have used Dr. Miles’ Antl-Pafn
Pills for sick, nervous headache, and
have received the best results. I hear
tily recommend their curative proper
ties, for they are successful.”—REV.
