IOWA LEGISLATURE.
Itotli I) ranches Called to Order atNocn
The Principal Committees.
DesMolves, Jan. 11. The legislature
met at noon. Lieutenant Governor Poy
neer called the senate to order. B. B.
Lane, the senior member from Polk, per
formed the same service for the house.
The lieutenant governor will officiate as
temporarr presiding officer of the senate,
but a temporary speaker will be elected

Lincoln, Jan. 11. Although the meet
ing of the State Farmers' Alliance doeo
not convene until tomorrow, the ad
vance guard of the big army of dele
gates are here. President John Powers
arrived yesterday. Secretary Pirite of
Wahoo also came in town and the hotel
registers are already filling tip with the
names of delegates from the eastern and
central portions of the state. Ex-Senator
van Wyck is a delegate from Otoe
connty, and is expected in today. The
lull quota or delegates numbers over two
thousand, but President Powers does not
look for more than half that number.
The meeting promises to be an im
portant one. The proceedings will have
an important bearing on the fall cam
paign, and the delegates now here are
not at all diffident in expressing their be
lief in the success of their party at the
ommg election.
TARIFF AND ECONOMY,
Tho Lines on Which the Presldentla
Contest "Will lie Fought.
New York, Jan. 9. The Hon. Will
iam Springer, in an interview, expressed
his belief that wool would likely be
placed on the free list, to humor the
agriculturists. Lumber, binding twine
uid salt would also meet little opposi
tion in the senate. As to silver legisla
tion, the present congress would permit
the newspapers to take care of it, the
present congress not being likely to leg
.slate upon it. The tariff and economy
ji federal expenditures would, he
thought, be the leading issues of the
aext presidential campaign.
SlilU for Senator.
Corsicana, Tex., Jan. 11. Congress
nan Roger Q. Mills in an interview
aid he would be a candidate for the
senate should there be a called session of
the Texas legislature. Free coinage of
rilver, he said, would not in the slight
est manner relieve the financial distress
)f the country, notwithstanding that he
lad advocated it in and out of congress,
md had voted for it. He advised the'
postponement of the further agitation f
the subject until the tariffs are reduced.
Dn the latter issue the Democrats had
won the country and could hold it.
Antipyrine Proscribed.
Berlin, Jan. 5. One of the most ex
tensively used medicinces in cases of in
luenza has been antipyrine. The phy
sicians uttered repeated warnings of the
langers of unprofessional administra
tion of this secret drug, but apparently
jrithout much effect. It is now
uinonnced by various doctors of un
questionable " reputation that several
leaths have occurred which to their
positive knowledge were duo to the ex
cessive use of antipyrine. It is strongly
irged by some that the government pro
rent the sale of the drag except upon a
physician's prescription.
Abbas Appointed.
Constantinople, Jan. 9. The sultan
las formally appointed Abbas to be
riiedive in -place of liis father. The
prompt action-on the part of the porte
?ives much satisfaction to the British
jlenient here. Abbas has also received
the congratulations of President Car
oot on his accession to 1 he throne. The
sultan signified his willingness that the
existing Egyptian ministry should con
tinue in authority until the arrival of
Abbas.
France and Uuigaria.
Paris, Jan. 11. La Libter announces
that the Bulgarian incident is closed,the
Bulgarian ministers in a meeting having
leaded to give adequate satisfaction to
France. It is said that the French min
istry is decidedly relieved by this result,
ind that the satisfaction awarded is
merely an unsubstantial pretense con
:eded by Bulgaria to cover the French
retreat from the extreme demand made
v- --infection in the first place.
A Mother's Mistake.
Mothers frequently inaki? a mistake in
neglecting the Cough of a child. A Fort
Wiyne, Ind., lady writes: My little
daughter G years old hud a severe Cougli
but as it was nothing un'i,na,I thought
nothing of it, and allowed it to run on for
4 or Si weeks, when it became so obstinate
she begun losing flesh. I called in a
physician who treated her three weeks
without benefit. A neighbor insisted up
on my trying Ballard's Horehound Syrup;
it relieved her from the first dose and she
began gaining flesh rapidly, when we h:id
used two bottles her Cough had entirely
disappeared. I would not be without it.

Dend, However, 1 came rignt np against
a bowlder that completely filled the creek
bed. The trail ended right there. It
appeared as if ths rock had recently
rolled down to where it lay.
"I thought that if I could climb over
it I could continue on np the water
course. So I started to climb. The
bowlder was rough enough for me to
gam holds for my hands and feet, and
though it was slow, hard work and
often slipped back, at last I managed to
surmount it and stood on top. To my
intense surprise I found myself within a
dozen feet of the floor of the mesa, and
just above me one arm of the giant cac
tus I had seen from the other mountain.
Then I determined, instead of continu

wall and so reach the mesa, where I ex
pected to find the silver mine.
"The sandstone was soft and I had a
strong knife. Besides, at the edge I saw
some vines hanging over that looked
strong enough to bear my weight if I

Hot Griddle Cakes.
Df. Price's Cream Baking Powder possesses a peculiar
merit not approached by that of any other baking powder.
It produces the hot buckwheat, Indian or wheat cakes, hot
biscuit, doughnuts, waffles or muffins. Any of these tasteful
things may be eaten when hot with impunity by persons of
the most delicate digestive organs. Dr. Price's Cream Bak
ing Powder leavens without firmentation or decomposition.
In its preparation none but the purest of cream of tartar, so
da, etc. is used, and in such exact equivalents as to always
guarantee a perfectly neutral result, thereby giving the natu
ral and sweet flavor peculiar to buckwheat and other flour
that may be used, the natural flavor so much desired and ap
preciated by all. The oldest patrons of Dr. Prices powder tell
the story, that they can never get the same results from any
other leavening agent, that their griddle cakes, biscuits, etc.
are never so light and never taste so sweet or so good as
whtn raised with Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder.

the excitement that followed the discov
enes of silver in Yucatan in 1377. Tho
Indians had been bringing down small
quantities of horn silver for some time
,and selling it at Merida. Finally, one of
the half breed merchants of that town
got an Indian drunk and induced him to
tell where they obtained the silver. They
say it was one of the mines from which
the Aztecs, or whatever race it was that
built the cities, the ruins of which cover
so many miles in that country, used to
get the silver for their temples. At all
events, the merchant came back with
two burros laden with almost pure sil
ver. Ho said that there was silver
enough in sight at the mine to load a
fleet of steamers. He told in a general
way where the treasure mountain was,
and started out with a pack train, for
more.. One of his mules strayed back
nearly a month later, but that was all
that was ever heard of him,
MI was one of the swarm of prospectors
that started out to find the old mine. It
had taken-the merchant two weeks to
make his first trip, so we could calculate
about what distance he had traveled
I had for a companion a Balize Indian
hunter, who knew something of the in
terior country. We traveled ten days
through the wildest couutry that any
one ever heard of. Mountains, whose
snowy tops were thousands of feetabovo
the clouds, aud whose sides were cov
ered with jungles so thick that for days
together we simply had to hew our way
through it. At last we leached a val
ley, the other side of which was bounded
by a separate chain of mountains. These,
from where wo stood, seemed perfectly
unassailable, but my companion said he
had been on top of them.
tt fry At. i -9 -
t-rom me summit,' ne said, 'you can
see the Chihuandassi.
' 'I had heard of tho Chihnandassi. The
nait meaujs 'Table of Dead Men,' and
the Indians say it is covered with plants
that have the power of motion.
" 'Havo j-on ever been on the Chihnan
dassi:' I asked.
" 'No man lias ever gone there and re
turned to tell it,' he answered.
"We crossed the valley, passing
through the ruins of a great city built of
almost transparent quartz, and finally
struck the trail he spoke of, aud two
days late? stood on the top. On tho
other side was a narrow7 gulch, and be
yond it a sheer wall many hundreds of
feet high. Still the top of this was low
er than we were, and we could look
down upon the Table of Dead Men. The
inesa on the other side of the gulch
seemed perfectly level, and as far as we
could judge was surrounded on all sides
by just such a precipice as we saw. Tho
country is all sandstone, and the swift
little rivers have nearly all worn deep
channels for themselves. In many local
ities you can. walk a hundred miles, bo
able to throw a stone into the river and
yet you may dio of thirst, so high and
erect are those fearful walls. The Chi
hnandassi was covered with soino low
vegetation and there were a few trees in
the distance.
" 'That is the flower that travels', said
my companion.
"He noticed my look of amused in
credulity, and resumed rather angrily.
" 'You don't believe it? I have seen
it move. Look there!'
"I looked, the table was agitated, and
looked like the waves of the sea. The
whole green surface seemed to approach
the edge nearest us. My hair rose for a
moment, then I burst out laughing. 'It
is only the wind tossing the snakeweed,'
I said.
" " 'But there is no wind here.'
"He spoke truly. The air where wo
stood was perfectly still. Yet, I ex
plained, it might be a breeze engendered
by the nature of the country, that did
not extend to our side.
"No, no,' he insisted. 'The Indians
who have lived here for years know
better. These flowers are devils. No
one who goes over comes back from
there.'
"Two Indians who loved one woman
went up on the Chihnandassi to battle.
Human eyes never again saw them alive.
We are told that they fell victims to the
flower that creeps.
"I had a first class pair of glasses with
me and I directed them to the plateau.
Half covered with tho vines and creep
ers I could see something white. There
were two spots that might be skulls, and
I thought I conld trace the outlines of
two human fcrms. They might have
been rocks, and were doubtless what
originated the Indian legend.
"An idea suddenly occurred to me
that this story of certain death to who
ever went up to that inountaiu top was a
story of the Indians to prevent any one
going there.
" Til bet a horse,' said 1, 'that the
mine is there, and I'm going to see.'
"Well, to cut it short, I left hira
"there, and with oue mule started for the
Chihnandassi. I calculated that I could
get around in three days, and told him
to camp there and wait for me. It was
nasty work getting down into the river
bed, but I did it before night, and had

I realized it I was dragged over the edge
of the chasm almost to the foot of the
cactus.
"The vinos dragged me on, other
stems curled about my legs and drew
tighter and tighter.
"Then I realized that the Indian story
was no fable. The idea of being in the
power or tuis constricting tmng tnat
covered acres of land paralyzed me for
an instant. The hand that had just
touched the vines was being crushed in
the devilish tendons. My little finger
was broken backward by the power of
the vine. The pain brought me to my
senses, and I began to fight for my life,

knife. I bejran to hack at the snakelike
Is of the devilish vegetable. As fast
as I could cut away one running stem
another would coil around me. Fight

one or tnose wmto spots x Had seen
through my glass. The bod, fearfully
shrunken and emaciated, lay there
among tue coiling, twisting vines. I .iar
it was another.
"I realized it all while I hacked and
struggled. These two had been caught
in the toils of the awful monster like
mvself and strangled.
"I was getting weak. The pressure
about my limbs was unbearable. 1 had
cut myself badly in cutting the stran
gling bonds. I looked over the mesa
with a wild hope of seeing some one or
something to help me.
'The mesa was all m motion. The
vines were twisting, curling, falling, ris
ing, trembling. It was a moving mass,
like the ocean, and the waves were
reaching and falling toward me.
'It was not the wind blowing tho
snakeweed. The fiendish plant had life
and motion aud every fiber of it was
straining to reach me. I knew that if
those advancing waves of black ever
reached me I was lost. I would be like
those shriveled bodies by the giant cac
tus.
'I made a final effort to escape. I
could hear the muscles crack and strain
as I pulled. I cut the thickest stem that
enveloped me, and for the first time
since the struggle began was able to
make a step backward. But the ficht
was not over yet. A dozen smaller ten
drils, like so many whipcords, were tan-
tied about me, cutting into my flesh
with a terrible power. I had kept my
throat free, though the vegetable ser
pents seemed to strive to coil about it
So I cut aud struggled backward. A
final slash, a jump, and I was over the
edge and on the bowlder in tho dry
creek. But the demon's arms followed
me. I knew that they wonld seize me
again before I could get down, 60 I
dashed to the other side of the water
course and clambered np there.
"How I thanked God when I found
nothing there but sreasewood and cactus.
I saw tho vines swing and swav over
where I had escaped, and then I fainted.
" W hen I came to the mesa was quiet
again. Tnc vines nad receded, and it it
had not been for my aching, swollen
limbs I would have sworn it was all a
nightmare. But there lay two dried ont
bodies. "While I lay there I recognized
one of them. It was the half breed mer
chant from Merida. The other was
doubtless the Indian who betrayed the
secret of the silver mine." San Fran

KATE FIELD.
Protected by a Child.
The tirandson of Count d'Hausson.-
ville iu La Vio do Mon Pere relates
how the noted royalist escaped from
the mob on the terrible Aug. 10, 1702:
My grandfather did not emigrate.
Louis XVI, who had confidence in his
rare courage and entire uevotion, nau
mado him promise not to leave him, and
ho was always one of those who in mo
ments of danger hastened to the Tuil
eries to defend the royal family. He
was with the king throughout the 10th
of August. When the royal family left
the legislative assembly he found him
self in a position of great danger.
He took advantage of the semitwi-
light in the lobby to destroy his lace
ruffles and hid his gold laced hat and his
sword under the seats.
Then he joined the crowd which was
leaving the hall and the offices. But the
difficulty was to pass from the entrance
to the assembly hall to the gjite of the
drawbridge of the Tuileries without be
ing recognized. In this space and at the
gate were the people, excited by having
taken the palace and by the massacre of
the Swiss, which had occupied them
nearly all day.
In crossing the garden my grandfather
noticed a child who had been hit by a
bullet and wa3 moaning on the ground
surrounded by several persons. He
walked straight to the group, lifted the
child in his arms without saying a word,
and went on toward the gate, walking
slowly and apparently quite absorbed in
comforting the little child. His face was
thus concealed as he reached the gate
and ordered the crowd aside.
He was allowed to pass unsuspected,
and still protected by his precious bur
den he passed through the streets antL
neared the d'Hausson ville mansion. Then
he left the child and a sum of money
with a physician, with instructions that
the little one should be given the best of
care.
