CONTRACT AWARDED
FOR NEW DEPOT.
—
Superintendent Fisher Gives Out
Information That St. Louis
Contractor Will Build
Freight Depot.
E. Fisher, superintendent of
bridges and buildings on the Mis
1 souri Pacific-Iron Mountain, when
! passing through Newport Friday
| informed Mr. T. H. Reamey, the
local agent, that the contract for
the new brick freight depot
building at Newport had been
let to a St. Louis contractor, F.
Bussey.
Mr. Fisher inquired if any of
the material had arrived and is
exidently expecting the work to
proceed at once. The railroad
company is to furnish certain
fire proof sliding doors and these
are aireaay on cne grounu.
The handsome two story brick
depot building will of itself cost
$15,000, and the additional switch
tracks in the yards will call for
another $10,000.
ROYAL HUNGARIANS
RIDE ON SPECIAL.
The Hungarian Royal Court
Orchestra, fiddlers for Emperor
Francis Joseph, who are travel
ing incognito in this benighted
land of ours, where they hardly
deem it necessary to wear even
ing dress for their excellent re
citals, seem to be laboring under
a hoodoo of hard luck in making
their appointments.
Their next engagement after
Newport was Fort Smith, but
owing to the lateness of the
trains they reached Little F.ock
after the departure of the ’Fort
Smith branch train. Manager P.
K. Matins was sorely tried over
the obstacles thrown in his way
of late by an unmerciful and
heedless Fate, so he chartered
a special for his royal circle,, for
which he is alleged to lhave
coughed up 250 round plunks,.
Biut anyhow he managed to
get. there and pleased a big 'nouse
of music loving people, so say
the Fort Smith papers.

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
i 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 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
e-ible to vote.
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

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
nessi 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
bo 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
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.
m., Dec. 24, 1904.
Read the rules carefully.

Your Hear!
May Be WeaK. One
Person in Four Has
a WeaK Heart.
One of the surest signs of a. weak
heart is shortness of breath, after exercise.
Tour heart Is not able to pump the
blood fast enough to your lungs.
Some of the other symptoms of Heart
Trouble are: Pains in the Side, Back
and Shoulder; Fainting or Weak Spells;
Dry Cough; Swelling of Feet and Ankles;
Cold Feet or Hands.
No one can afford to allow a weak
heart to go without medicine, because
weak heart means poor circulation, and
poor circulation means weak lungs,
stomach, liver, kidneys, etc.
If, therefore, you suspect heart trouble,
begin taking Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure.
The Heart Cure will do you good, as it is
a splendid tonic for the blood and nerves,
and will revitalize your entire system.
Finally, remember. Dr. Miles’ New
Heart Cure Is sold under a guarantee
that the first bottle will do you good.
If it doesn’t—your money back.
"I was afflicted with heart trouble for
three years. I would be apparently all
right, and without a moment’s warning
would fall as though shot. The attacks
1 were frequent, and a terrible dread pos
sessed mo, as I never knew when or
where, nor under what conditions I
would be attacked, and whether I would
survive them. I consulted ajnd was
treated by some of the most eminent
physicians of the state. Not finding re
lief from this source, I began taking
Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, and began
to Improve at once. I used ten bottles,
which entirely cured me, as I have not
had an attack for five years.’’—MRS.
