Iowa Republican Platform Tor 1859.
Resolved, that the Republican par
ty of Iowa In Convention assembled
the country on the res
toration of fine party to power In the
federal government. We endorse the
administration of President Harrison
as eminently wise, loyal and just. We
favor o liberal construction Of the
pension laws and such further legis-
lation as will secure to the old soldier
his just dues from a government he
has faithfully served, and which he
has enriched by his sacrifice,
2. We demand OF Congress the

err classes.

and policy Of State railway regula-
ton. We favor maintaining equality
among MI localities and individuals

to one class Of citizens denied the
others. And should experience dem

changes in the law as should be
made In the interests Of right and JUS
tice to all. We urge upon Congress
the absolute prevention of rebates
and determinations on railways that
foster monopolies aud prevent CON-
petition.
I. That it IL the duty OF the State
and Federal Governments to enact
and execute laws to punish trade con.
spiracies, trusts and combines de
signed to limit the production of the

with the natural course Of trade, and
which injudiciously divert trade and
traffic from the cities and towns OF
Iowa to commercial centers outside
OF our borders.
8. That We reaffirm the past utter

Deputy Sheriff Diok of La Bette county,
Kan, passed through Sedalia Mo, en- route
to Parsons, Kan, with the two female pris-
oners who are thought to be the notorious
Mrs Bender and Kate Bender. Mr.. Dick
was living in La Bette county at the time of
tn Bender murders and knew the Bender
family well He says there is no doubt he
has the right parties The narrative oftheir
arrest at Niles. Mich, as related by him, dis
closes one of the neatest pieces of detective
work ever perpetrated by woman. The ar
rest was at the instance of Mrs
Albert McCann of Mcpherson, Kansas.
If these parties are convicted
she will get 10000. But it was not money
she was after. She worked for revenge. Her
father, John W. Sanford, was murdered by
the BenderS at Windsor, Canada. They fled
to this conntry and located on the farm in
Kansas, where they kept their tavern" and
did their deadly work When the Benders
murdered Mr. Sanford, Mrs. McCann, was but
four years old. When she grew up and mar
ried she settled in Mcpherson, Kan. Some
years ago dissolute woman came there with
her husband and was taken sick at her house.
She belieAed she was dying, and, learning
who Mrs. McC9nn was, on her
supposed deathbed the woman confessed
to Mrs. McCann that she helped kill
her father in Canada when Mrs. McCann was
child While McCann was looking up the
particulars Of her fathers death the sick
woman recovered and suddenly disappeared
one night with her husband. 1t was several
years before Mrs. McCann got clew to the
whereabouts of the woman, but she finally
located her at Nipes, Mich. Mrs. McCann
went there last April When she had her
plans perfected she notified the Kansas
officers and presented proofs satisfactory to
them that the women were the long lost
Benders, and a requisltion was sent for them.
Such Is the story of Mrs. McCann, who
caused the arrest of these supposed Benders.

A GREAT STRUCTURE,
A Tour OF the Great Newspaper Build
Ing, Which the Pioneer Press
Occupies.
The New Home OF the Northwestern
Newspaper Union.

st. Paul has the most magnificent news
paper building in the world, Such q state
ment is criterion of the progress of the
West. That the journals of old capitals
and commercial centers are surpassed in
their abodes by newspaper of the Occident
tells at once of both the vast resources Of
the country and the enterprise of her people.
The building is great building among the
buildings of the couptry. Chaste and simple
in design, gigantic in proportions and ele
giant In execution, it would, as an example
of architecture and an embodiment of
improvements be proud addition to the
buildings OF any city In the world, but as
the home of q newspaper, as the representa-
tive OF the latter's soIidty, growth add enter
prise, it is pre-eminent among structures of
it's class. 1t was not builded in a day.
Like all great structures reared to watch
the years pass by for coming centuries, it
has been builded with incest care. In the
early part of 1888 the work of tearing
years occupied by long established COM
mission house, was commenced and
since then the work has never entirely
ceased. The removal of the gray tenant of
by-gOnc years was but the preliminary work
in preparing for the erection of it's stately
successor. To prevent Mother Earth from
yielding beneath the immense burden to be
placed upon her, 600 piles were driven deep
into the ground, where the bed rock was
fringed by yielding clay. These were sawed
off some distance below the surface, and up
on their tops we're placed layer of heavy
concrete, varying from six to ten feet in
thickness. Again upon this was laid acourse
of footing stone. That the work was right
ly begun has been thoroughly proved, for the
building, with it's weight OF thirteen stories
of brick, stone and iron, has settled in all
the months since it was capped by the cor
nice but a minute fraction of an inch. This
was the work of nearly half year. and yet
not one stone had been laid upon another in
the erection of the walls.

The Iron Cage,

For Louis XI of France-whom
Sir Walter Scott and Mr.. Henry Irv-
ing have made so familiar to the
English public-the iron cage had a
great attraction, and he seems to
have equipped with it nearly every
one of his state prisons. When the
Due de Nemours, previous to his
trial, was transferred to the Bastile,
he was pnt in cage of iron; and the
king, learning that some indulgence
had been shown to so illustrious a
prisoner, wrote in the most uncom-
promising terms to the Sire de Saint
Pierre, one of the commissaries ap-
pointed to try the unfortunate
prince. He was not pleased, he said,
to learn that the letters had been
removed from the dukes limbs, that
he had been allowed to leave his
cage, and that he had attended mass
when women were present. And he
charged him to take care that the
prince never left his cage, except to
be put to the question-that is, to
be tortured-and that this should
take place in hts own apartment.
Other important personages in the
reign of Louis made acquaintance
with these iron cages of his; among
others, William of Harancourt, Bis
hop of Verdun, and the Cardinal de
la Balue. According to an eminent t
French antiquary, each cage was
about nine feet long, eight feet broad
aud seven feet high, and consisted of
a ponderous frame work of timber,
STRENGTHENED by solid iron clasps and
tenccu i'll with stout iron bars, wei gh-
ing altogether a couple of hundred
pounds, and costing about 367 livres.
at the then value of money. Philippe
de Commines, the historian, makes
some characteristic comments upon
King Louis XI and his cages,
cit is quite true" he says, "that
the king our master ordered the con-
struction of some rigorous prisons
cages of iron and of wood, covered
with plates of iron outwardly and in
ternally, and with terrible iron bars,
each about eight feet wide and
about the height OF a man, or one
foot more. The man who designed
them was the Bishop of Verdun,
and in the very first that was made
he was incontinently immured,
and lay therein for fourteen years.
Many of us since have poured
our curses upon him, and I for
one, having had an eight months
test of this kind of captivity. For.
merly, too, the king caused the Ger
mans to make for him some heavy
and terrible fetters to fasten upon
prisoners feet, and an iron ring to
clasp around the ankle, with a
solid chain attached, and a great
iron ball at the end of the chain
these instruments of torture were
known as les fillettes du roy or
the kings maidens.' These, never
theless, I have seen on the feet OF
many prisoners of rank, who have
since risen into honor and great
Joy and have received many
favors from the king. ."-All the

The Be .derS Were Killed.

Edward Parker. who was working in Kan
sas when the Bender's took their fight, and
again in Parsons, when the report was rie
ten years ago that "Old Man Bender" and
his wife had been found in Colorado, says his
Investigations at this time convince him that
old Mrs. Bender and Kate have not been
found in Michigan. Working in Parker's
office at Parsons was an Indian
boy who said that his father saw the whole
Bender family killed in 1873. Parker inter
viewed the old Cherokee who told him that
while hunting he saw camp fire down
in q valley about dusk, and as he was
looking at it he saw q body OF horse
men approach, kill an old man and his
son, and then an old woman and her
daughter. The latter fought as desperately
as the men. After this they killed the
horses, piled all together in heap-the wag-
on men. women and hoTses-added brush
and burned them up, burying the burned de
bris. The old Cherokee detailed the surround
ings so minutely that Parker, with the In
dams son and Ed Davis a printer easily
found the spot, and, by digging unearthed
harness irons, wagon tires, pieces of chains,
etc This convinced them the old Cherokee 8
story was true. J. Parker says further that
in 1S79he went to see Col. York the leader of
the pursuers of the Benders Of Fort Scott,
| and asked him what he thought of the re-
| ported capture of the Benders in Colorado,
| His response, made with knowing look,
was, that when he was the sole survivor OF
| the band he would tell the fate of the Ben
| ders, but until then he must be silent.

After Her Young.

A naturalist contributes to Nature,
from the island ofCrete, a paragraph
relating to one of the most interest
ing aspects of bird life. A gardener
caught q young but fully fiedged
sparrow, which he carried to the
house of a friend three miles away.
He left home early in tho morning.
He presented the bird to one of the
children, and it was put in a cage
and hung at the window, where it
seemed likely to be contented, losing
it's fright after few hours.
Later in the afternoon an old bird
was noticed fluttering about the
cage, apparently trying to get at the
little one, and the young bird at once
became frantic to get out.
The old birdwas evidently the moth
er of the young one; the recognition
between them was too cordial to
leave any doubt upon that point;
and when the girl opened the cage,
as she did after little, they both
flew off rapidly in the direction of
the place from which the little one
had been brought.
1t was believed impossible that the
old bird should have followed the
gardener, as in that case it would
have been seen earlier in the day.

Mustard Not i'm Favor.

an observant young man with whom
l was lunching the other day, ''how
few Americans eat mustard?" Icon

ion, and he continued: "In England
mustard is the great national con.
dTment. An Englishman will never
eat beef, bacon, ham or steak with
out it, and many of them season
mutton with it, An English tramp
to whom you gave an unseasoned
sandwich would stop and ask you
for mustard before he commenced to
devour it. With Americans it is
different. They never take mustard
with beef, and rarely with any thing
else, unless it is very fat ham. Amer.
leans deluge their meat with hot In.

mustard alone. My proof. say youi
