The Independent has'only one;
u scription ,'price, $1.00<jfa year,
for the Weekly, and 40 cents per

pos ^1 charge for papers to out- j
sid i addresses, warrants us in
req firing these subscriptions to
be paid in advance.

Government Building at Helena
Entered By Burglars With
Little Reward for
Trouble.
Helena, Nov. 16.—The govern
ment building here was entered
last night and after an attempt
had been made to force open the
big safe containing over $2,000
in money and stamps, the cash
drawer was broken open and $2
in stamps and money, which had
been left in it, taken away.
The job has the appearance of
having been done by profession
als. An entrance was effected
by means of a rear window and
a ladder. By mistake the bur
glars began work on an old vault
in the room now used for storing
supplies. This was opened most
scientifically by means of a drill
and punch. Discovering their
mistake, the burglars tried the
burglar-proof safe. This resist
ed their efforts, though they had
drilled three holes nearly through
the door when for some reason,
probably because frightened
away, they stopped work.
There is no clew to the perpe
trators.
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

1 ivy V vw vj Vii Vi,; ' ' V/VVJ v»*»«
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
gible 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
contest. For every dollar’s worth
3f 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
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
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.

‘‘I had been sick several years with
Indigestion and nervous prostration,
which kept me almost constantly under
a physician's care, and while I had been
treated by four doctors. I received only
temporary relief. I was very weak and
kelpless, and unable to attend to my
household duties. After reading about
Dr. Miles' Nervine. 1 concluded to give
It a trial. The first few dose3 brought
restful sleep at night, and an appetite
for food. Continuing the treatment, i
rapidly improved, and now I am well
and able to do all my work.”
