Lydia j. Albert has sued for di-
| yorce from John p. Albert. The petition

SORROWS of twenty years of married life.

Dubuque.
The hot, dry weather of the past
week was a boon to crops in Dubuque
county. which have been held back so
much this year on account of heavy
rains and floods. Corn is maturing
rapidly in the sunshine and from re-
ports brought in by men who have
driven about considerably during the
past week there is little doubt but
what there will be a heavy yield. altho
the acreage is not so great as last year
on account of the floods, etc. during
the spring. The potato yield will be
large. as they are abundant every
where thruout the country. The crop
of fruit will be fair. with apples and
grapes yielding abundantly in most
sections.
Davenport.
The real estate men of Davenport
agree that the market is unusually
lively for this time OF year and that the
volume of sales during the present
month and the month of July may be
taken as an indication of a still heavier
business in the fall Usually, they say,
there is very little doing from the first
OF June to the first of September In
the spring trade is brisk and is fol-
lowed by a lull lasting until the heated
term is over. Partly because Of the
failure of the heated term to put in its
appearance. and partly by reason of the
p.entifulness of money. the good times
and the rapid growth of the city. the
present year has been an exceptional
one in that the midsummer dizziness has
been almost entirely unnoticed.
