Stories of the Corsican Bandfttt.

From the Contemporary Review.
Two brothers, Cucchi by name, villains
of the deepest dye, found the neighborhood
of Ajaccio too hot to hold them, and re-
solved to take refuge in Sartene. They
found a small boat upon the beach and de-
sired the owner to put out to sea. '1mpos-
sible," said the man; the boat is too small
for such a voyage and would certainly
founder" do as you are bid said the
Cucchi, covering him with their guns. I'm
der these circumstances the boatman had
no alternative: so he got in and they push
ed out to sea- But the waves were high.
and by a little dextrous management he
contrived to make his boat rock In such a
fashion that the bandits became violently
sick. You see was right" he coolly re-
marked. when his passengers seemed sum-
GENTLY reduced; you will certainly be
drowned IL you go on thus. You had much
better let me put You ashore and go back
for a stronger and better boat" 80 be
it." gasped the bandits. "Oh, anything is
better than thisr' They were put on shore.
and in due time the boatman returned with
a larger boat, but at the bottom OF II lay
four gendarmes disguised sailors, and
the brothers Cucchi were taken before they
had time to discover the trick.
The second story is of a notorious bandit
Of the name Of Bastanasi. He was a man
Of considerable erudition. had been edu-
Gated at Pisa, knew Latin and had belong
ed to the medical profession. On one occa-
sion he was also going to Sartene on a ves-
sci which stopped ct Ajaccio. Knowing
that the gendarmes were after him he did
not attempt to land, but as he had a fine
voice and could also play the guitar, to
beguile the time of waiting he got out his
instrument and began to sing and play.

voice and likewise remembered the song
He went and informed the authorities
and it was thus through his love OF music
that Bastanasi was arrested Il saw him

on his wrists and the guitar was slung
round his neck"

DEATH OF MRS. wYCKOFF.


The news has been received in this city
of the death in Orange, Cal, on Wednes-
day, of Mrs. Gertrude wyckcff, the widow
OF Ogden Wyckoff. Her death is a great
shock to the large circle of her friends and
acquaintance in this city. Only a few
months ago Mrs. Wyckoff left this city,
which has been her home for so many years.
to make a new home in California, where
her daughters husband had gone for the
benefit of his health. Letters have been re-
ceived from her since her arrival there, but
there was no intimatien of bad health The
blow is, therefore, a sudden one. Mrs Wye
kon was widely known here, where in ad-
dltion to her home and church duties, she
found time to interest herself in general
works of charity. Her labors in behalf of
the Newsboys' Home and Aid Society, SO
unselfishly and freely given for years will
be remembered. She was a kind-hearted,
active and successful worker in any cause
that she became interested in and she had
the confidence Of many of those who have
not the time to do charitable work them
selves. but give freely Of their means

1t is doubtful if the ceremonies at
Washington were as enjoyable as that
participated in by party of ladies at
Mrs. G. P. Morgan's. Though perhaps
not entirely in honor of the day, the
event was generally merrily discussed
and count taken of the political views
of the party; but all wished well to the
coming administration, eveQ if the ma
jority of votes would have been for the
Republican side. After dainty lunch
the party separated, expressing thanks
to the hostess for the pleasant after
noon. Those present were Mesdames

All over a Lantern.

His honor, Justice Schultz, with jury,
were busted yesterday afternoon in the
trial of an assault and battery case that
was brought up on change of venue
from Mosier. The defendant, r. A.
Powers, was charged with asssaulting
and striking one Deitchmiller in an al
tercation over a lantern. Mr.. Deitch-
miller stated that he was knocked down
by the force of the blow and damaged in
the face. But the jury concluded, after
digesting all the evidence produced, that
it was case of strike or get struck with
Mr.. Powers, and accordingly brought in
a verdict of not guilty.

An rmportant Ordinance.


No person shall permit to accumulate
in any yard any stagnant water, refuse,
vegetables, decaying substance, garbage,
filth of any kind, nor suffer such yard OF
OF to remain in such condition as to
cause an offensive odor, or thereby to
become a public nuisance. Any one
shall be fined, upon conviction, not less
than $40 nor more than 500, or impris-
onment in the county Jail not less than
i've nor more than thirty days. -
The above is the skeleton of an ordi-
nance which, if enforced, might save the
lives of several hundred of our citizens
in the event of the appearanceof of cholera
this summer. 1t is probable that the
council will tonight appoint a board of
health, as the discussion at last nights
session led up to that end, the lateness
of the hour preventing further discus
sion. If this is done, the city should be
turned over to them in as good condition
as possible. The marshal is authorized
to enforce. the ordinance, upon the
proper complaint of any person; but
there has been manifest reluctance or
carelessness on the part of citizens,
which is wrong There would be little
sickness in The Dalles if there was no
pollution to favor it.

GOOD OUT OF EVIL.
Mr.. :Herbring viii Endeavor to Make
Up His Loss.

n The new advertisement of II. Her
bring on the second page will repay a
careful perusal. He first quotes the
reports of The Dalles papers concerning
his recent suit in court, drawing there
from the deduction that he must sell
more goods than ever to recoup his loss,
and to accomplish this proposes to lower
prices to attract trade. There is good
business strategy in this maneuver in
dicative of the Yankee, though one who
knows Mr.. Herbing would assign rohim,
last of all, strain of that kind OF blood.
AS regards his suit before the circuit
court, he has the sympathy of all who
know the facts in the case. He was not
only defeated out of money, justly due
him for goods sold, but is out damages
and costs besides. This result is accom-
plished through some evolution of the
intricate machinery of American eng
lish) law, termed, for short,a technical
ity, whereby the most ridiculous abor-
tion will issue from the female with the
scales and the handkerchief over her
eyes. The dot of an or the cross of a
t on some irrelevant bit of paper has
more to do in determining case nova
days than host of credible witnesses.
Mr.. Herbring will recover his loss in
the natural course of business, but. he
may never again have the same respect
for justice, when entrusted to the tender
mercies of skilled lawyers.

CASCADE NOTES.
A Much-Needed Improvement Begun in
the River.

CASCADE LOCKS, March Srd, 1898.
Editor CHRONICLE:
The snow on the lower levels has
about all disappeared.
DIR. H. A. Leavens is still confined to
his bed, with illness.
The Steamer Dalles City, in approach
ing the rapids today, on the lower falls,
made three attempts to get over. There
seems to be two bad stages of water, in
this swift part of the river which are the
two extremes of high and low water
lines.
The government today started to re-
move the rocks in the Columbia at a
point on the Washington side, immedi-
ately opposite the portage wharf boat,
which is much needed Improvement,
permitting the boats hereafter to keep
nnearer the Washington side and remain
i'm the eddies, thereby avoiding the stiff
current.
The government Office in charge of the
locks delivered the plant over to the
contractors March 1st. Notwithstanding
Fformer reports, there has been nothing
done here SO far, and the long rested en-
ployes are awaiting ,anxiously to get to
work again. We do not look for any
great force of men, to be put in at the
start, outside of getting out stone, and
arranging the plant in readiness until
after high water.

There's good deal of guarantee bust
ness in the store keeping of today. It's
too excessive. Or too reluctant. Half
the time it means nothing. Words
only words.
This offer to refund the money, or to
pay reward, is made under the hope
that you won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the reward.
OF course.
So, whoever is honest in making it,
and works-not on his own reputation
alone. but through the local dealer,
whom you know, must have something
he has faith in back of the guarantee.
The business wouldn't stand a year
without it.
What is lacking is confidence. Back
of that. what is lacking is that clear
honesty which is above the average
practice"
DIR. Pierce's medicines are guaranteed
70 accomplish what they are intended to
io, and their makers give the money
back if the result isn't apparent.
Doesn't it strike you that medicine
which the makers have so much conf
dence in, is the medicine for you.

without comment.

The question of the sewer between
Second and Third, and Madison and
Jefferson streets next came up.F Here
the wooden sewer placed there years
ago, has rotted out, causing that part OF
it beyond, one of terra Gotta, to be value
less. The question arose as to what
property should be assessed to pay for
it. The mayor was of the opinion that
the equity of the case would affect only
those contiguous to the proposed re-
- ~ !
the council. A motion prevailed that
an ordinance be Immediately drawn up
to provide for its repair, and an esti-
mate made of it's cost and that when the
council adjourn it should be till tonight,
SO that there will be no further delay, as
the question is important.
A petition from Mrs. Fish was read
asking for rebate of taxes. Council
man Joles stated that the description in
the deed to the property inquestion read
SO many chains from certain pine tree
east, when it should read west, and that
man hunted three weeks for her prop
erty once without success. The petition
was granted.
Regular monthly reading of bills.
Mr.. Haight then spoke of the expe-
dience of organizing a board of health
for the better sanitary protection of our
citizens, especially in view of the prob
able advent of cholera. He said many
towns were already acting upon the
matter and SO should The Dalles. He
pointed out places reeking with filth
and read an ordinance relating to it's
prevention which had never been en-
forced. He urged either its repeal or its
enforcement. Councilman Kreft, in con-
firmation, told of other filthy alleys, one
of which he said was "knee deep.'' He
said that according to an ordinance, the
marshal was the proper officer to report
such cases; the people owed greater
duty in informing the marshal of such
places, when it would become his duty
to see that the provisions were enforced.
The mayor said that, as the hour was
growing late, the subject would come up
the following evening for further discus
sion.

He dotteth all his is.
