IOWA CONDENSED
- The Governor has issued a proclamation recommending that Saturday, May 29,
be observed as Decoration Day in this State.
- James M. Porter, of Albia, has procured a pension dating back to 1864. Mr.
Porter was the first soldier to enlist from Monroe county, and was wounded
seven times.
- William Board, a prominent Dyersville butter worker, has gone insane. Last
week he started for England and got as far as Chicago, where he exhibited a
desire to fight with everybody who spoke to him, and seemed delighted when
he tore the clothing from his body. He has been taken to Independence.
- The Rev. Father Nugent of the Monticello Catholic parish, in a recent
discourse, affirmed that outside of the Catholic Church the Americans are a
nation of infidels. That the Protestant communicants are mostly women - and
that there are more infidels in the orthodox churches than outside of them.
- Mr. Hayden, of Monticello, has a pocket handkerchief over 100 years old,
which has been in the possession of his mother nearly eighty years. Printed
upon it are symbolic representations of the 12 months of the year, with
appropriate explanations printed beneath. The figures and the printing are a
good deal faded but quite decipherable.
