Franciscan Missionaries. Fray Fran
cisco Lopez, Fray Juan de San
ta Maria and Fray Agustin
Rodriguez, 1851.

1t seems that he avoided Acoma. This
was prudent, for that tribe could under
no circumstances be trusted. Proud OF
the strong position of their pueblo, the
Acomas were ever ready for acts Of treach-
cry in order to get rid of unwelcome
strangers even if they received those
strangers under the mask of the greatest
friendship. That he did not visit Acoma is
proven by the sworn statements of his com
panions and by the joint report which those
companions afterwards made of their ex-
plorations. But he reached Zuni. Visited
the several pueblos by which that tribe was
then occupied, and-one of his men,
Pedro Romero, was the first white man
who inscribed his name on the remarka-
BILE rock of Ell Moro. The inscription
simply reads: Pedro Romero, 1881. 1t
is the oldest date found on the walls OF
the picturesque cliffs. The inscription
also confirms, that Chamuscado and his
men did not 60 to Zuni by way of Acoma,
but by more northerlY route. For the
ancient trail leading from Acoma to Zuni,
passes many miles south of inscription
Rock, and that trail was then used often
Coronado had followed it. Therefore no
inscription from his time can be looked
for at Ell Moro.
At Zuni, Chamuscado heard also OF the
Moquis. He calls them Asay. A mis-.
understanding of the word Usaya, by
which the Zunis were wont to designate
some of their neighbors in northern Ari-
zona. But the season was too far ad-
vanced for him to penetrate as far as the
Moqui villages, so he retraced his steps
toward the Rio Grande. Finding
missionaries safe and in the best OF spirits
he left them at last for good I'm the month
of November, 1851 and crossing the river
to the east, made short excursion to the
Salt marshes OF the Manzano, on which
trip he saw the now ruined pueblos of
Abo Cuaray, and fatigue, and then
took the homeward march. He and his
eight mounted men were as little molested

FARM AND ORCHARD.

All crops are unusually good in Colfax
county.
The grape harvest in the Mesilla valley
began this week. The early season was
a backward one and grapes ripened two
weeks later than usual this year.
If some of the Santa Fe mountain
residents would step over on the slope OF
old Baldy mountain and gather lot of
those delicious huckleberries, ready
market could be had for them in Santa
Fe.

davlts overhung her sides, from which
dangled a number Of boats. She pre-
sented avery grimy, worn aspect, and
had manifestly kept the sea for
months. 1t ,observeds by the chief
officer, standing on the bridge of the
steamer, that the eight rescued men,
who were looking at the sail ahead
along with some Of the steerage pas
sengers, discovered several symptoms
OF uneasiness and even of agitation.
Suddenly. the Stripes and Stars, with
the stars inverted, were run aloft to
the peak end "a signal of distress The
| engines were "sloWed" and the steam

man aboard the bark stood; in the
mizzen rigging.

his nose.

bridge lifted his hand.

Twenty minutes later the eight
whale-men were being conveyed to their
bark in one of their own boats, most
OF them grinning as they looked up at
the line of heads which decorated the
steamers sides; and indeed there was
| some excuse for their. smiles, for

the thirty pounds which had been sub
scribed for them. It would be interest
ing to know what their skipper said
when he learned that they had lost a.
fine boat for him; but ocean mail lin

A COIN COLLECTION.
A Southern Lady Has Some Very
Rare and Interesting Coins.

Rare and Interesting Coins.
Handed down for, generations in the
family is d curious and valuable relic
of colonial days now in possession OF
Mrs. Lizzie B. Link, a niece OF the late
Judge Sits and clerk in the general
delivery department OF the postofhce.
On a small sheet of brown paper, three
by two inches in size, are the charac-
tiers, which pronounce it q legal tender
for one-third of a dollar. One side
bears the insert ption "according to the
resolution passed by Congress, Febru-
airy II, 1776," also a dyspeptic-look-
ing sun dial, beneath which is the terse
admonition, "M,nd your own bust
ness" On the reverse is a circle of 13
links, each representing one of the
states Of the young Union, in the CEN
ter of which is the motto: eve are
one" 1t is an interesting and valua-
bic relic of the good old days of the
forefathers and their fractional cur
rency; some of which would prove very
convenient at the present day.
Another valuable piece of money
which has been in Mrs. Links family
for many years is a Spanish coin, on
which four generations have cut their
infant worries. The observer bears the
inscription "Carolus w., Del Gratia,"
| and the date 1901. On the reverse is
the stamp Of the Spanish coat-of-
| arms. --..
A Central American coin that has
been in the family for SIS years is q
rare and curious bit of money. It rep
resents one real, or l2h cents in
United states money. On the diverse
is the representation of palm tree
and the date, 1880, the reverse show
ing tropical sunset.
Completing the collection which Mrs.
Link exhibits with justi6able pride is
a small French coin dug up in her par
ents' back yard during the war. It is
a one-quarter franc piece, dated 1884,

Small Cause for HeaIy's Arrest.

BISMARCK, n. D., Special Telegram, Dec.
3.-To-days examination in the alleged
bribery case brought out nothing new. The
witness Mason was on the stand all day. 1t
is two days and half since he began to
testify. The general belief is that there is
no ground for Hea!y's arrest and that the
motive Of the prosecution is only to find
some means to keep him from qualifying
as county commissioner. 1t is believed that
the prosecution against Swenson. the code
PENDANT will be dropped. so that he can be-
used as states evidence. Unless this is done
there will not be a shadow OF a case against
Healy. In the examination Swenson's at.
tOrney takes 70 part except to counsel with
the prosecuting attorney. The district
court is adjourn1ng from day to day, to
await the result Of the examination in
justice court This morning the witness
Mason. whose testimony is, being taken,
was fined $15 for contempt, in failing to
obey district court subj Gna and held in
$500 bonds to appear at the trial Of the
Swenson liquor case. He has not succeeded
in obtaining bonds and is still in Jail.

ALL ON HAND.

Every Minnesota congressman Present
at the Opening of Congress.
WASHINGTON. Special Telegram Dec. 8.
ALI the Minnesota members were on
hand this morning when the roll was called
and answered to their names.
It was observed that Kettel Halyorsen,
the Alliance member, was seated on the
Republican side, but as Democrats and Re-
pnblicans We're all mixed UP this had no
significance as to how he would vote on
party questions. Representative Lind, the
sole survivor of the Republican delegation
of last year, shook hands with Representa-
tive Haugen who represents the extreme
Northwest Wisconsin district and is also
the sole survivor of the Wisconsin Repub-
licans. Both of these gentlemen we've in a
much happier frame Of mind than their
Democratic colleagues, because the strug-
gle going on in the Democratic caucus was
creating a rift in that party which is thought
sure TO bring back the Northwestern Re-
publican phalanx at another congress.
Representative M. N. Johnson of North
Dakota was on hand early and secured a
back seat. where he conversed with Kittei
Halvorsen, the Alliance member rom
Minnesota. and who is OF thesa nation
ality. 1t was observed that Halvorsen had
plowed a turrow from his mouth down
ward through the luxuriant growth of
brown beard, and he and Johnson looked
as near alike as two peas, except that the
dark color OF Johnson's flowing beard gave
him trlfle more distinguished appearance.
Representative Picker of South Dakota
was the busiest man on the floor. He had
not only to greet old friends, but he was
very busy Introducing Col. Jolley, his col
league, who succeeds the late John R.
Gamble.

A CARNlVOROUS PLANT

Found in Nicaragua.


Found in Nicaragua.
In the last number of the English.
Review of'RevieWs there is a, pape.
describing 81 strange plant lately founs
in Nicaragua which is said to have 4,
fondness for flesh and blood. The dis,
coverer of this plant is an English
naturalist named Dunstan, who has
just returned from a two years eG-
animation OF the fora and fauna Of
Central America. Dunstan says that
while exploring the swamps in ths
neighborhood Of Lake Nicaragua he
one day suddenly heard his dog cryas
if in agoay. On reaching the dog he
found that q fine rope-like tissue of
roots and fibers nearly covered the
animal The plant seemed to have
made the dog prisoner, with iSs in
terlaeiAg stems, which were nearly
black and excluded a, thick, viscid
gum. The naturalist drew his knife
and with great effort managed to free
the dog. He was then astoaishsd to
find the animals body was blood
stained and the skin had q puckered
appearance, as ii it had been sucked.
When he was released the dog stagger-
ed as if exhausted. While he was re-
leasing the dog from his dilemma the
twigs curled around Mr.. Dunstans's
hand, and he found that wherever he
was thus touched his flesh was red
and blistsfed. 1t is said that the ma
tives regard this remarkable plant
with snperstiti0us horror, and the
name they give it is the equivalent Of
