LAFOLETTE WINS
 OUT IN WISCONSIN

Madison, Wis, May 1S.-As result of the bitter strife engendered in the repuo- lican political struggle in Wisconsin this year, two conventions will nominate state tickets in Madison tomorrow.
 The courts will be called upon to decide which set is entitled to legal recognition The convention today which was bolted by the Baensch delegation and denounced as illegal by the Cook followers, Will nominate a state ticket headed by Gov ernor Robert M. Lafollette. The con vention will contain 57s delegates, S5 of whom were contested by the opposition. The convention of anti-third termers to meet at the Fuller opera house will have 555 delegates who claim to have been legally elected.
 Eighty-five of these delegates were un- seated by the state central committee of the Lafolette organization. Overtures have been made by both factions to the Cook leaders soliciting cooperation in their respective conventions. The Cook men have denounced the Lafollette con- vention as illegal and can only be com bined with the Baensch delegates by the award of the nomination to Cook.
 Madison, Wis, May 1s.--A continuous parliamentary wrangle, led by the best orator of the Barsch faction against the efforts of the Lafolette supporters to seat the contested delegations to the re- publican state convention, today resulted in a bolt of the Barsch delegates and the refusal of the Cook men to recog- nize the convention as legal.
 The Lafolette supporters voted as a unit and had complete control of the convention on every question which came before it. A feature of the convention was the announcement by one of the delegates that Senators Spooner and Quarels did not wish their names to be presented before this convention as dele

Dallas. Tex, May 1S.-Delegates from all over the United States, Mexico and Japan are gathering here tonight for the seventy-fifth annual general assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. The assembly will open at Il o'clock tomor- row with a sermon by the Rev. R. M Tinnorn, Denver, Colo, retiring modera- tor, who will preside over the gathering until a successor is elected.

No Fighting Reported.


 St. Petersburg, May IS, (ssO D. m.)-The admiralty received today al official dis patch t'om Rear AdHnrai sSfiegsof be- 1ieved to have been dated at Port Ar thur, May 14. reporting that there has been no fighting since the telegraph line was cut, the Japanese ships not having attacked. Everything was well with the Russian squadron. The dispatch was gratifying to the authorities not only for the news it contained, but because it's receipt established the fact that although the telegraph line is severed a system of communication by means of Chinese run ners has been satisfactorily arranged In order to deliver the Liao Yang dis patches entrusted to him the runner has to pass through the Japanese lines al- ready thrown across the narrow neck of the peninsula, just above Port Arthur. The passage of the runner was danger ous, but the task was light compared to what it will be when the Japanese forces closely invest Port Arthur.
 Messages In Cipher.
 Nevertheless, the authorities express confidence that arrangements have been made to insure the frequent transmission of dispatches which, If captured, are un- ineligible to the Japanese, as they are
 
 desperate efforts of the Russians to get to Port Arthur what is officially called an Ammunition train" has been revealed by information which leaked out today. There was little need, It appears for more ammunition, great quantities being stored in the fortress, but General Stoes- sel was exceedingly anxious to be pro- vided with balloons. The highest point of the fortress is the Eagles Nest" from which much of the surrounding country can be seen, but balloons will facilitate observation. Before the war the Russian authorities loaded on a ves- sel a complete balloon equipment for Manchuria, but 1t was captured by the Japanese, who will use 1t, perhaps, in their operations against Port Arthur.
 Balloons on Train.
 Recognizing the need of providing Gen eral Stoessel with all the requisite in- struments with which to conduct the de- fense of Port Arthur, General Kuropat- kin is believed to have sent balloons on the Ammunition train" The Russian balloons are stationary.
 ''If the Japanese try to drift balloons over Port Arthur and drop explosives on the fortress" an officer said today "the world will hear of the first battle in the air.

Here is the proposition and the rules governing the contest:
 There is a handsome $25. % solid gold locket with diamond setting and solid gold chain, on display at the Palace Jewelry store, to be given away Decem- Der 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 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- full, 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 "A, will contain ballot entitling the holder to one, vote in this contest. For every dollars worth 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.OO. Coupons will not be sold, and will only be issued for job, ad and subscription 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- posted 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. "A and announce the winner. All ballots must be deposited at this office by II a m., Dec. "A, 1904.
 Read the rules carefully.

Triumphs of Modern Surgery


Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back or they may be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins; anti
septic dressings are applied to wounds,
bruises. burns and like injuries before
inflammation sets in, which causes them
to heal without maturation and La one
third the time required by the old treat
menty Chamberlains Pain Balm acts
on this same prjncipale. It is an anti
septic and when applied to such injur-
les, causes them to heais very quickly.
It also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep bottle of Palm in your home and
it will save you time and money, not to
mention the inconvenience and suffer
