More than 5.000 votes were cast, about 2.000 of which were women. W. H. Trimble, manager of the cam paign against the saloons, thinks the total majority for local option will be close to 400. Early In the count It became evi dent that the prohibition sentiment had carried the city. In the down town precincts, which were exported to roll up large majorities in favor of the saloons, the first 100 votes counted showed only a slight advant age for the "wots". As the count progressed the proportion was main tained, but the large majorities for 1'ocal option in the outlying pre cincts soon settled the Issue. The city hall precinct, which was expect ed to give more than two to one I votes In favor of the saloons, record ed 291 against and 353 for the sa loons. The third and fourth precincts, al so downtown, give disappointing re sults for the liquor interests. One outlying precinct went almost four to one in favor of prohibition. The voto in another was: "Dry" 232, and wet" so. Tho flirht hnfl been n vigorous nnri j exciting one and the church people ; and anti-saloon element generally are i jubilant. It was declared by several t opponents of the saloons that the re sult here furnished an Index as to ! how tho slate would go If a state wide vote were taken on the proposi tion. W. H. Trlndlo, manager of the anti saloon fight, said tonight that prominent ministers throughout the state and members of the Anti-Saloon League would meet In Portland soon and determine whether a state- wide eiection ls to e held on the .. ,h. o1tinn In ..rtrv.. ln the near future , fnr lne votpr mltsld6 of the motrnnolis to do it.

Stump, well known ln this city, mnde a desperate, yet unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide, at her home at the corner ot Lane and Pine streets this afternoon. The first intimation ot the wom an's rash act camo to light, when W. D. Duko, who lives almost dl- . rcctty ncrosB the street was attracted by cries similar to' those of a woman In distress. Fearing that something unusual had occurred, Mr. . Duke rushed ncross the street and entered the front door of the Stump resi dence, passing through the residence ! In .the direction of the chamber oc cupied by the unfortunate woman, Mr. Duko detected the following note pinned on the door: "Walk In. Your first love ls In tliis room at reBt." Satisfied that Mrs. Stump had at tempted self destruction Mr. Duke notified Marshal Tom Williams, who responded in haste. Finding the chniuher door locked on the inside entrance was effected by force. On the bed lay the prostrato form ; of the woman apparently ln death's grip. Dr. Ilouck was summoned and upon arriving nt the scene adminis tered such temporary aid as was pos sible. Although rallying somewhat. Mrs. Stump was In a precarious con dition late this afternoon and fears are entertained that she will suc cumb. On a email table ln the parlor ot I the home was found an empty vial. wiurn irom us innei nan coniainea a quantity of Iodine, Another bottle showed evidence of having contained wood alcohol. That Mrs. Stump drank cniiiilderahlo of the Iodine Ib evldenc-' ' cd from a partially emptied glass, ' which stood on n table near her bed. In the bottom of this glass was found IrnccH of the deadly drug. l''roni all appearances tho womnn entered tho chamber, locked the dor, drank the poison and laid down mi tho bod wllh the Intention of com mitting suicide. Her failure to do as liilomlod was only Interrupted by the quick action of those who heard her cries. In addition to ienvlng a nolo pin ned on the door of her chamber, Mar shal Williams found the following letter (corrected) on a stand ln the living room: Hoseburg, Ore., Nov. 6. Clell Stump: "! am going to dlo and will leave all I have got to you, for my life ls not worth living to me. You nro all to me a bad trick. Don't have Mollle attend m v funeral for I don't want her. Ho that's all. I will close now. tiund bye to you and your wire. "From your mother. "CARKIB STUMP. "! 8. Don't go and say that you love mo." That the attempted suicide of Mrs. Slump was duo to domestic trotiblos Is the general be'.lef of those tln touch with the case. In fact, only a few days ago Mrs. Stump ordered her daughter, Mollle, and a com panion to leave her home. Since that lin e the daughter has been living at a local hotel. Only this noon Mrs. Slump's son, Clfll. was married lu Hoseburg to Ha.i'l Ilrown. This fact, It is said, utuv have had something to do with Mrs. Stump's attempt ut self destruc tion.
