SOW, cultivate, reap, NOW, and thresh
their grain all BY machines, saving time
and expense. Suppose farmer has .
stack of grain Of 1000 bushels, and
the market price is so cents per bush
el, and there is q reasonable certainty
Of an advance in price to 81, 90 per
bushel il he retains his grain for three,
or say four months. The 1000 bush
els is worth at 80 cents, the sum OF
$1,000. He borrows the sum OF
81 800 At % per cent. interest for four
months, amounting to the sum fsloo'
interest, and his grain advances in that
time to 81, 90 per bushel, or an advance
on the whole Of $500. by this he has
saved the sum Of 1900 in four months.
Let not our Eastern friends 'be fright
ened at the rates of interest that are
commonly and almost universally paid
here, upon borrowed money. 1t is An
evidence OF thrift and not Of bank
ruptcy.
All OF our Banking Houses pay their
depositors per cent. interest on mon
ey on deposit in their vaults ; As much
as Eastern money lenders can get for
the use Of their money loaned on bond
and mortgage.
Take the City Of Davenport US an
example Of the increasing value Of real
estate. In the Fall Of 1853 the lot on
the corner Of Brady and Second street,
now leased by g. l.. Nichols, WAS val
ucd at $4,000, and in the Summer 81
1896 it sold for 10000. and is now
estimatad at $25 900 without any bull
dings upon it. This is but one instance
in u thousand that can be named Of q
similar advancement in real estate
This is owing to q sound and healthy
growth of Getty in population and
trade. In 1859, we hal population
a little more than 1000, and in 1857
we have population Of $4,000 souls.
Nor has Davenport reached its maxi
mum Of growth. II no extraordinary
causes interrupt the prosperity Of the
City. it will contain a population Of
10000 within five wears hence.
We simply beg Of those who will not
believe what their Western correspon-
dents write them upon the subject, to
rub oft the rust aud take trip to this
region, that their own eyes may behold
the fairness of the land, and the health
and vigor Of its business stature and
growth. The trip will pay such, far
better than voyage across the Allan
tic or an exploring expedition to the
Holy Land. There is nothing ficti-
tious about us. We are solid bone and
muscle, without that dropsicsl bloat,
that in many Of the Eastern towns,
savors Of debility and disease.

SUrcIDE.-Dr. o. G. Prescott, an itinerant
lecturer, committed suicide in indianapolis,
on Monday by taking morphene. From a
diary found on his person, the following is
taken:
Arrived at indianapolis Saturday morning
at 10 o'clock; put up at the Bates House; had
my likeness taken and sent 1t to my wife. to
st. Louis; paid for it 81. Saturday evening
went to hear Dr. Kitridge lecture on Hydro,
patty; most singular genius, by the way,
but not much Of speaker; could beat him
with my eyes shut.
Five grains of morphene and one teaspoon.
full of laudanum is sufficient, in my opinion,
to send any mans soul to eternity but 1t is
not more than sufficient to quell the pain
which pierees my heart. Friends, everything,
farewell. There Is peace in death, and though
the body shall return unto dust from whence
it was taken, the soul shall go to God who
gave it. The only regret which feel in
death is for the dear. loving and affectionate
wife which leave behind. NV friends can
provide for themselves, and God will provide
for her. In heaven only is there peace and
happiness. May God bless and render hap.
py the lives of those who live, and may He
forgive me for all sins aud errors which may
have committed. o. g. PRESCOTT.
To Dear Wife, st. Louis, Mo.
My last wish is that all my things may be
sent to my wife, and hope she may be treat.

THE pRESIDEN1rS MESSAGE

he fhEClDENl - MESShGE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The message of the
President of the United States was read Ia
both branches Of Congress today. =
The President states that the financial his
tory Of the country for the last forty years, is
one OF extravagant expansions in business,
followed by ruinous contractions. He has
determined that while no useful government
works, already In progress, shall be suspend
ed, new works. not already commenced, will
be postponed, " 1t can be done without inju-
~ to the country. Those works necessary
for defence shall proceed as though there had
been no financial crisis.
He recommends the passage of a uniform
bankrupt law, applicable to all banking insti-
tutions throughout the United States.
The Kansas Constitutional Convention
were not bound by any terms in the Kansas
Nebraska act to submit any other portion Of
the Constitution TO nm election, except that
which relates to the domestic institution of
slavery. The election will be held under
Legitimate authority, and IL any portion of the
inhnbitnnts refuse to vote, fair opportunity
to do so having been presented, this will be
their own voluntary act, and they alone will
be responsible for the consequences.
As 10 Utah, the President says this is the
first rebellion which has existed in our Ter.
ritories, and humanity itself requires that it
should be put down in such manner that il
shall be the last. In order to do this, it is
necessary TO raise four additional regiments.
The above are some Of the Leading points
of the Message. In conclusion, he says he
has deliberately determined to approve no
bill which he has not examined and, there.
fore, recommends to both Houses to allow
him sufficient time previous to their adjourn
ment

the reason why his paper was not sent to him

erased his name from our subscription book

UrAH.-The Washington correspondent Of
the New York Courier and Enquirer, an
speetor," says:
The War Department has no apprehensiont
Of the fate Of our troops in Utah. The sup
plies cut off by the Mormons were not i'm
portant. nor were the cattle lost in August
essential to the support Of the expedition
The number Of all descriptions with the ar
my, 10 $4,000. The number Of soldiers has
been exaggerated, and is but 100. The De
partment now sees its way clear to the relief
Of the expedition. by the organization Of a
volunteer force in California. There ought
to be no delay in calling into action at least
one regiment Of volunteers for the purpose Of
keeping the communication open between
Salt Lake and California.
Military officers are Of opinion that Brig
ham Young designs escaping to Sonora in the
Spring.pnder a compact with Mexico to de-
fend that province against the fillibusters and
Indians think this an error. and that they
propose emigrstipg to British or Russian

the penalty imposed by law in case of sus-
