NOTICE TO
FOREIGN SUBSCRIBERS.
After December 1, 1904, the
Independent will be sent outside
of Jackson county only on sub
ly to any
nty, or
cia,
mother of three children. She
had been married three times.
From all information we learn
the woman led an unhappy life
and had found there was little
for her to live for. She told a
party that she was tired of liv
ing and last night took a large
amount of rough on rats, from
the effects of which she died
during the night.
I IN SOCIETY. |
SATURDAY CARD CLUB.
The first meeting of the Satur
day Card club was with Miss
Della Bernstein in Hotel Hazel
Saturday afternoon. This club,
which is composed of young la
dies only, promises to be one of
the most interesting clubs in the
city.
The colors chosen for this club
are red and white, and the time
of meeting Saturday afternoon,
| every two weeks.
On this occasion the members
were elegantly entertained by
Miss Bernstein, who made the
first meeting a very pleasant af
fair. At the conclusion of the
games a dainty course luncheon
was served, which consisted of
sandwiches, pickes, olives, cof
fee, ice cream and cake.
Miss Noreene Kinman made the
highest score, for which she re
ceived a hand-painted pin tray,
while Mrs. R. J. Wise won the
booby prize a powder puff.
The club members present
were Misses Mae Whitaker, No
reene Kinman, Margaret Beattie,
Lula Wolf, Louise Irby, Alina
Futrall, Sallie Foster, Hester
Phillips, Mabel Stayton. The
quests were Mesdames 0. S.
Lawrence and R. J. Wise.
The next meeting will be with
Miss Margaret Beattie.
RAISING SEEDLESS FRUITS.
3ome Success Achieved with Apples,
Plums and Cherries in the
Last Few Years.
A veteran nurseryman of Colorado
heralds the fact that after years of pa
tient experiment in grafting and budding
he has secured a seedless apple. Modest
ly the creator has withheld information, j
of his success until he has secured 40 '
trees of his new variety, says a local in- :
formant. Expert pomofogists have ex
amined the new apple, and declare it to ! ^
be very handsome in appearance. De- (
tails of the methods by which this ]
achievement was attained have not been .
iivulged, but when it is remembered'
that the million-box crop ef navel (
oranges came from a single shipment of 1
six slips the start that has already been
attained with 40 productive tree3
presages an early appearance of the
seedles apple In commerce.
The department of agriculture, as well
as many grape growers, have been work
ing for years on the problem of a seed
less grape, and, while rumors of success
have appeared from time to time during
the past decade, the Sultana and Thomp
son seedless varieties have during the
past year established their reputation
among the viticulturists. The Japanese
plum, without a stone, is also reported a
reality, although the seeds have not
been obviated. Cherries without stones
are promised in the immediate future.
Seedless tomatoes are alleged to have
been perfected by an Indiana woman, be
ing grown from the stock of the tomato,
which is replanted when it is at its full
height. Watermelons of the same freak
nature are also rumored from Georgia*
but not much credence is placed in this
report, though if tomatoes have been
perfected there is no essential reason
why similar success should not be at- i
talned with the watermelon.
Made Soup of Congressman’s Beans. j
Representative Mahon, of Pennsyl- j
Tania, is laughing over a letter just re- 1
ceived from a nice old lady residing in
his congressional district He sent a
package of beans secured from his
Quota at the agricultural department to
this lady, thinking she would like to
plant them in her garden.
In replying, the lady addressed the :
Pennsylvanian, whose name was writ
ten indistinctly on the frank, as ‘‘‘Mr. j
Mack in.” She said: "Those were spies-'
did beans you sent me. I cooked them
for dinner and they made the finest
soup I ever tasted. Thank you ever se
j much.”—Washington Post

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-1
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 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

glUiC; lV VtC.
Second—Every issue of 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

these dates a coupon gopd for ten .

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
to this office and will be de
posited in a lack box, to be opened
at 8 o'clock each publication day
and counted. The daily issue of

;d to canvass the ballots the
no rning of Dec. 24 and announce
