Antonio Decimo, who will be heard here with the Ellery band, is without doubt the greatest clarinet player this side of the Atlantic, if not in the world, He is but twenty-five years old, but has such marvellous com mand of his instrument as to cause his hearers to fairly hold their breath with wonder when he plays. Not only does Decimo possess marvellous dex. terity on his instrument, but has beauty of tone almost equal to the human voice. At the completion of one of his great solo pieces the audi ence never fails to break out into an uproar of enthusiasm such as only a worlds greatest artist can arouse. The personality of this young man is exceedingly agreeable. He has smile which wins his audience at the very outset, and modesty which gains for him the immediate good will of everyone.

Smead Powell, and before his wife could turn in the alarm the entire house was in flames. Mrs. Powell and her baby had narrow escapes with their lives.
 When the fire company arrived 1t was found there was little or no water pressure in the city water mains, and the men were powerless to fight the flames, which had by that time spread to the large new residence of Judge c. w. Smith, on the east, and that of T. l.. Jacksen, on the west.
 A volunteer bucket brigade prevented the flames from pass ing to the residence of E. A.. Schicker of the land office, but could not prevent them from leaping across the fence on the east to N. U. Scharff' s residence.
 Following are the losses and in surance:

INDEPENDENTS
 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- 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 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- full, and so they do. But to set tie once for al Il 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 $1.00. Coupons will not be sold, and will only be issued for job, ad and subscription busi- ness, but extra copies of the 1n- 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 pood 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.
