“A HIDDEN CHIME.”
We quite agree with the au
thor in entitling this comedy
drama a crime, and if he is ac
customed to perpetrating such
•offenses as this against good fic
tion and drama that is worth
while, it seems very natural that
he should become the villain in
his child play. But wherein is
is the crime hidden? Ye gods
and little fishes, if its inconsist
encies are not obtrusive, its hi
larity bold, its action desperate
and its profanity shocking, it is
nothing, but for the love of
truth, don’t ca ts crimes “hid
den.”
The company were quite clev
er and deserve a better play than
this, their own villain has manu
factured and hung together. As
no programs were furnished, no
names can be called, but the old
man from South Africa was a
finished, actor, especially in his
action. The young engaged
couple were interesting and pro
voked much merriment.
Whatever the merits and de
merits of it all, a good house saw
the show and the gallery was
carried off its feet. They whistled
and howled in their bravos of ap
plause at every tragic climax, of
which there were many.

FAST FORGING FORWARD.
I laho is one of the best watered
states in America. People are
mo.ing there because hot winds
and destructive storms are un
known and because its matchless
climate generates physical and
mental vigor and guarantees
goo I health.
1 iaho has rapidly grown in
pop ilarity during the past five
years and settlers in its irrigated
val jyshave met with more than
ordi nary success. This fact has
ind iced a large influx of eastern
capital in the state, with the re
sult that its growth has been
rapi 1.
If you have in mind a change
for the general improvement ol
your condition in life, or if you
are reeking a climate beneficia
to h 'alth Idaho will meet these
requ rements.
Th a easiest—in fact the onlj
dire t route to Idaho points is vie
the Union Pacific. This roac

Subscribers will be notified two
weeks prior to the expiration of
tneir subscription, and prompt
renewals will cause no skips in
receiving the’paper.
Our outside mailing list has
reached those proportions which
make this step necessary to pro
tect ourselves, and we feel that
the change will not be objection
able, but rather* in accordance
with the wishes of our •utside
readers,
The Independent? has'only one
subscription ,price, $1.00*a year i
for the Weekly, and 40 cents per '
month for the Daily, but the
postal charge for papers to out
side addresses, warrants us in
requiring these subscriptions to
be paid in advance.
This does not apply t* any
postoffice in Jackson county, or
such towns as Bradford, Alicia,
Minturn, Newark, in closely con

INDEPENDENT’S
BABY CONTEST.
Here is the proposition* and the
rules governing the contest:
There is a handsome $25.00
solid gold locket with diamond
setting and solid gold chain, on
display at the Palace Jewelry
store, to be given away Decem
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boy
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 all the claims oi 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,. i
First—No baby that has reach-1
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 of the
Daily and Weekly Independent'
from November 1 to December \
24, will contain a ballot entitling

; subscription paid for between
I these dates a coupon good for ten
! votes will be issued, but no cou
i pons will be issued for sums less
j than $1.00. Coupons will not be
j sold, and will only be issued for
job, ad and subscrpition busi
1 ness, but extra copies of the In
i dependent at 2 cents per copy,
each containing one ballot, will
be sold at this office.
Third—All votes must be sent
to this office and will be de
posited in a lock box. to be opened
! at 8 o’clock each publication day
; and counted. The daily issue of
1 that afternoon will contain the
! total of the several candidates
and the public will thus be kept
informed of the voting each day.
Fourth—A committee of three
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.
