was the disappointment when the news
was realized. 1t Is contended that the
government is in honor bound to make
the necessary appropriations for the
reason that it is said that Chairman
Burton had made certain recommen-
dations and that these recommended :

DES MONIES MATR0N

A special to The Journal from
Des Moines, Iowa, states that Lewis R.
Hough, prominent commission broker,
and his wife. have separated and that
Mrs. Hough has gone to visit hef sis
ter, Mrs. Edward Langan, 3O2 Eleventh
street s, Minneapolis. It is stated that
the announcement has caused great sur
prise and much comment in the select
social circles of Des Moines, of which
both the husband and wife were prom
inent members, as there has never been
a breath of scandal against either Mr..
Hough or his beautiful young wife, who
had always been supposed to be very
happy together.
Mrs. Hough, when seen by T h e
j ourna last evening, admitted that
she had left her husband and said that
divorce proceedings would be begun in
the near future. She will remain liz
Minneapolis for the present.
Mrs. Hough was formerly Miss
Genevieve Dodson OF Perry, Iowa, and
was married in Omaha ten years ago
The couple lived in Atlanta a short
time before moving to Des Moines. The
cause of the estrangement is a mystery
and Mrs. Hough will say nothing on
this subject except to assert that 1t i
one-slded affair and that the fault is
mot hers.

In his prime he was a mighty war
rior and a crafty hunter and even now,
tho the fires of youth have long since
died out, he can strike terror to his
enemies and win his meat by crafty
stalking when the occasion demands.
His innate courtesy, quiet manners,
make him cherished member Of the
family in which he lives, not as de-
pendent, but as an honored guest. When
in his prime he rendered valuable and
loyal services, to the people of his adop-
tion and now that his usefulness is past
he rests among them, loved alike for
his past labors and his present COM
partnership. While he is loving and
familiar with his old friends, toward
strangers his manners are marked by
