TRIALS OF WEARY
NEWSPAPER MAN.
One of the trials of a newspa
per office, says a local exchange,
comes in the shape of late copy.
It is sent in at the latest moment
possible. The printer is expected
to shape it up and have it appear
in the best position and free from
errors. After a struggle for an
hour, the paper late and every
body out of humor, we ‘ ‘go to
press.” An hour after the pa
per leaves the office the tele
phone rings. The editor drops
his pencil and lets go a thought
he is chasing to answer. There
rings in his ear a voice demand
ing if that is you, Mr.-, and ;
being assured the right man held
the receiver the voice proceeds
to remind him that he has made
quite a “bungle” of his or her
copy and indicates by tone and
words in which there is little of
the Christ spirit the editor heard
the preacher talk about the Sun
day before. In fact there is
nothing in the communication to
elevate the editor or make his
li fe brighter or happier. To tell
the truth it brings him and the
devil very close together.
People should know that most
e litors are human and some of
them who have not been in the
b isiness very long still have
f jelings.

NO CE TO
FOREIGN SUBSCRIBERS.
__
A er December 1, 1904, the
Im. indent wiil be sent outside]
l
-— — t
jf Jackson county only on sub
scriptions paid in advance, and |
will be 'stopped upon the expira
tion of the time for which they
are paid.
Subscribers will be notified two
weeks prior to the expiration of
their subscription* and prompt
renewals will cause no skips in
receiving thelpaper.
Our outside mailing list has
reached those proportions which
make this step necessary to pro- j
tect ourselves, and we feel thati
the change will not be objection
able, but rather.in accordance
with the wishes of our outside
readers,
The Independent has only one
ubscription price, $1.00 ‘ a year
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 to any
postoffice in Jackson county, or
such towns as Bradford, Alicia,
Minturn, Newark, in closely con
tiguous territory.

COAL FOUND AT CASA.
Perry, Nov. 15.—Valuable dis
coveries of coal are being made
near Casa in Perry county. H.
C. Harkey is now working a coal
mine there that has a 30-inch
vein of coal. The quality of this
coal is very fine.
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
tie 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- ■
gible to vote.
Second—Every issue of the;
Daily and Weekly Independent!
from November 1 to December
24, will contain a ballot entitling I
the holder to one vote in this j
contest. For every dollar’s worth j
of job, work, advertising and
subscription paid for between1
these dates a coupon good for ten
yotes will be issued, but no cou-J
pons will be issued for sums less
;han $1.00. Coupons will not be
3old, and will only be issued for
job, ad and subscrpition busi- j
ness, but extra copies of the In- J
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 openedj
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.
Read the Independent for all
the newrs.

There Is nothing more nerve wrecking

"I had been sick several years with
indigestion and nervous prostration,
which kept me almost constantly under
a physician's care, and while 1 had been
treated by four doctors, I received only
temporary relief. I was very weak and
kcipless, and unable to attend to my
household duties. After reading about
Dr. Miles’ Nervine, I concluded to give
it a trial. The first few doses brought
restful sleep at night, and an appetite
for food. Continuing fhe treatment, i
rapidly improved, and now I am well
and able to do all my work.”
