GREAT ApYANTAaEs.

A decided advantage Marion cOun-
ty has over many others is the di-
versified farming interest that can
be carried on throught the entire
year; Notwithstanding this is a wet
climate during the winter months,
the uplands are seldom too wet to
work, and long before the prairie
farmers are through with their seed
ing, the hill farmer is preparing for
his summer work. And yet the
low lands are much preferred by
many; the yield per acre is generally
greater, and perhaps less labor is re-
qlired to place the soil in proper
condition for crops; and then should
the season prove dry, the bottom
lands are sure to bring the best
crops. No better farming land can
be found in the United States than
that on the noted Howell prairie,
French prairie, Santiam prairie and
Salem prairie. The soil Of these are
wonderfully productive. With good
cultivation, forty bushels of wheat
and sixty OF oats per acre can be
readily secured.

4 Davenport Girl Attempts Suicide
Because She sees Her Lover With

A well known Davenport young lady
whose name is concealed for family
reasons. attempted suicide the other nigh
by means of dose of morphine. The
cause of the fair females rashness and
desperation was what she thought to be
unfaithfulness on the part of her lover.
For week or more he had not called
upon her and why, she knew not. Sat
urday evening, however, the young lady
observed him passing her home in COM
pany with young damsel whose reputa-
ton was by no means good. This wholly
unnerved her, and when he called the
| other evening, she at once began to up
braid him on the score of unfaithfulness.
lie too, became enraged; denied every
accusation of the young lady and in at
tempting TO smooth matters over by stat,
ing that it was some one else and not
he whom she saw in company with the
other woman. he only tangled himself
up IN his statements and made matters
worse. Finally, the young lady became
SO greatly angered that she could not
control herself She had no words with
which to express her hatred for him.
They had been drinking lemonade about
fifteen minutes before she began to
charge him with treachery and the glasses
were still on the table. Fairly burning
with Indignation she grasped one of the
glasses, hurled il in bis face and declared
he would never see her again. He left
the house at once.
The young lady Immediately afterward
retired Ia her room and took dose of
morphine. The rest OF the household be
came alarmed al the fracas in the front
room, and shortly after the Young lady
nae retired she WAS found lying in her
room, and, seemingly. nigh unto death. |
a physician was at once summoned. and
II was soon learned that the Young lady
had taken morphine. Proper treatment
was administered Immediately and the |
young lady is now on the road to recoy.
