DEs MONIES, Iowa, April 19.-The
grasshopper sufferers are in bad condi-
ton. They and the people generally had
been made to believe that congress had
made liberal donation for their aid. Of
fcers of the army were sent into the de-
vastated counties in this state to enroll
those needing aid. When this was done.
the donations of seed grain from the peo-
pie of the states nearly ceased, and provis-
ions and clothing were sent instead. It
is now discovered that the bill failed in
some manner to become a law, and was
not presented to the president for his sig
nature. | am informed by congressman
John A Kasson, that the bill passed the
senate, came into the house and was
passed. He expressed much surprise
that it was not law, This is an unfor-
tunate matter. These farmers, who have
depended upon this expected aid now,
when they are ready to sow their seed,
have none on hand, and no money with
which to buy. During the week DR.. Nc.
Coy, delegated by the sufferers in this
state, has been making an effort to induce
the executive council to appropriate the
$l3, 900 unexpended of the $4,000 giver
by the state two years ago for aid to t. {
sufferers. The council have finally de
cided that they have no power to do it
and the attorney general confirms thei
opinion. as the appropriation was mad,
for specific purpose, and to be expended
within given time.

ed In Illinois. ~


Dies MONIES, Iowa. April IA case
OF social scandal, with all that the term i'm.
plies, was recently developed in Harrison
county. A man had wife who was
church menber. The chorister of the
church was also member of the church.
The husband all at once discovered psrox-
ysmal symptoms in his wife, and suspected
the brother and christian as the cause. and
accordingly concluded to let Jury OF
twelve men consider the matter. The act
OF adultery could not be proven, but it was
shown in evidence that when the psalmist
called to see the wife, the curtains were let
down. also, that on one occasion she start
ed to go to Carroll City. but somehow ar
rived at Omaha, aud that the chorister
was there at the same time, though he did
not start at the same time nor from the
same station. When he was called on to
explain, he denied having committed any
sin. and affirmed that he believed the wo-
man was pure and unspotted, but the jury
would not believe him, and gave the hus-
band verdict for $4,000 damages.

the house, evidently for the purpose oi
