son of Elwcod, ILL.,, son of a wealthy
farmer. yesterday made his annual
spring attempt al suicide. AS on the
previous two occasions the effort to
take his own life was preceded by a
proposal of marrige to Miss Martha
Jones, a school teacher. AS before,
his endeayors were not crowneu by
success.
Aageson, who is 90 years old. began
trying TO kill himself in the spring of
1911. He had been 20 a dance. and in
an intermission offered Miss Jones his
heart and hand. She showed such
languid interest that Aageson went
right out and hanged himself to a
tree. Some of the dancers found him
in that uncomfortable position and cut
him lown.
In the spring of 1912 Aageson again
proposed to Miss Jones. The young
woman spurned him so emphatically
he pulled a pistol out Of MS pocket
and shot himself. The wound, how.
ever, proved superficial
Aageson yesterday dressed himself
in his bes; and went to the schoo.
house where Miss Jones was teaching.
She greeted him coldly He started to
propose and she walked away. Aage-
son took a bottle of poison from his
pocket and swallowed its contents

understanding of the offers made, it
would seem that the Oakland Real
Estate Co.'S offer is the more liberal
of the two, and therefore the more
to be desired
A matter as important as the select
ion of site for city park, which is
of interest to the entire city, should
not be rushed through by a few PEG
pie, before the public has had time to
weigh both propositions. A number
of people on the different committees
who were forced to vote by these hasty
proceedings, had not an opportunity
of visiting both places, ans were
therefore not in position to cast
their votes intelligently.
At Eden Park the underbrush has
already been removed and the drive
ways made, at an outlay of consld-
cradle amount of money. The spot
for a lake is there, but the cost of a
dam, which would have to be con-
structed before a lake could material
ize, would be considerable in itself,
whereas at Oaklawn all the under
growth was cleared away years ago,
and the lake is already there, only
waiting a small expense in deepening,
and charging.

it will be necessary to raise nearly
ten thousand dollars, to buy the adj
