 Robt. Adair, a salesman of the store, noticed the woman appar- ently lacing her shoe in front of the store. AS she left he noted a large bundle under a shawl on her arm. He glanced at the dis play and missed the dress goods. He gave chase after the woman and caught her in the stairway. She was brought to police head quarters, and there the stolen goods were found still in her arms, wrapped in the shawl. The goods cost a dollar a yard at wholesale and the piece contain ed just fifteen yards. The theft amounted to grand larceny, nor could the woman deny her guilt in face of the overwhelming evil dence.

INDEPENDENTS
 BABY CONTEST.

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 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 thatls to be determined by that cherished right, popular ballot, and in accordance with the following rules:

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms is the Prime Cause of 80 Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Bright's Disease.
It is Easily Durable in the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases arc so destructive to human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until tl,e constitu- ton is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many physi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is to apply a reliable kidney and liver remedy on the first afbeayanee of the symptoms. A little uneasiness in the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estima- tion of strong men and women, yet they have a serious meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffering and need help, which must be forth coming at once to prevent serious, per- haps fatal consequences. A few doses of Prick1y Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalcu1able value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar in a bottle of Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is yet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars in doctors bills, besides the suffering that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself in the body. The excellent curative power of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally eficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as last resort, in cases that deied their best efforts, with the most brilliant results, and it has shown its superiority over the many so-called kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in instances innu- merable.
 Accept no substitute. Insist Oh having
