SONGS FOR RANSOM.
Instances Where Music Had Power
to Lull Bandits Cupidity,

| N~|SN iOAA L 1881
1t is probable that Miss Stone and
her companions in captivity will not
be able to sing their way to freedom,
| for the Turkish or Bulgarian bandits
! who have them in charge evidently
want money too badly to be lured
away from their purpose by gentle
harmony. Yet there have been cases
where the captives of bandits have
procured their release by a song.
! Charles Santley was once travelling in
Mexico with some friends when he and
his companions were seized by some
half-breed bandits and taken to the
mountains, where they were told they
would be liberated only upon the pay
ment of large ransom. After supper
the singer, possibly to keep up his spir-
its, broke out into song. The bandits
heard and were charmed. The leader
demanded that he sing some more.
Santley saw his chance and agreed to
sing as long as he could, provided the
liberty of himself and his friends was
the reward. The brigand leader con-
scented, and for hours the mountain
wastes echoed to the songs of the ac-
complished vocalist. Then, true to
their word, the brigands allowed SAINT
ley and those with him to depart I'M
harmed.
The late Joseph Mas had a some
what similar experience Some years
back he was travelling in the west
which was the wild west then-and was
captured by Indians, along with one of
his friends. When the Indian camp
was reached the captives were at their
wits ends to think of some way of
propitiating their captors. The friend
suggested song, and, taking the hint,
Mas broke forth into an operate Sc
lection which so delighted his captors
that they loosened his bonds and de-
manded that he continue to sing. When
he got weary they revived his tagging
zeal by pricks with the points of their
knives, and so kept him singing all
night long. Finally, as it grew near
dawn, the Indians one by one dropped
asleep and Mas and his companion
made their escape.
Mario's wonderful voice once saved
MIN in a like manner. He was travel
ing with some companions in Spain,
when he fell into the hands of a
band of marauding brigands, who de-
manded money. Mario answered them
in impromptu song, which so delight
ed them that according to the singers
story they elected him captain of their
band. In the course of the following
day Mario managed to make his es-
cape with his friends. On another
occasion Mario was arrested in Ma
drid, as he was returning from the |
theatre, on the charge of being a po- |
iticaI conspirator. The great singer |
was indignant and, telling who he was,
demanded that his friends be commune
Gated with. The captain of police be-
fore whom the singer had been brought
replied that if the prisoner were in
Iced the great Mario, he had sure :.
way of proving it. Thereupon Mario

The Oskaloosa herald., 1901-08-15

Mr.. Fletcher invented a device by
which it is now possible for the work
to be accomplished by a six year old
child by the simple turning of &
crank. Mr.. Fletcher has had great
experience with ordnance and his
work is of inestimable value to the
government. For three years past
the gentleman has been in command
Of the Eagle and is recently from the
coast of Cuba where he has been en-
gagged in making a minute and
detailed survey of the entire coast
line and all harbors and inlets.
Mr.. Fletcher is also an expert on
torpedos in common use and is taken
as an authority on the subject. Oska-
loosa is indebted to the gentleman
for the relic of the Spanish war, the
torpedo that is placed in the public
park.
Oskaloosa is the former residence
of the gentleman and he loves to
claim the city as his home. He was
born on the j. B. Bolton corner
which was formerly owned by the
father, J. D. Fletcher. This gentle
man was a harness maker and es-
tablished the saddlery business in
the building now occupied by the
Fitch Brothers and the business has
rsmaiued to this day. T. J. Fletcher
of Marshalltown and j. Q, Fletcher
now of Oklahoma are brothers of
Lieutenant Commander Fletcher.
Mr.. Fletcher has gone to MARSHALL
town and will depart thence for
Portsmouth and then goes to Wash
ington.
Oskaloosa has all honor for her son
and is justly proud of his success and
eminence. All will wish the gentle.
man future honors and prosperity.

DISTINGUISHED E
Lieutenant Commander Frank Fletch-
err U,S.N. Visits Friends In OskaIOOsa

Lieutenant Commander Frank
Fletcher of the United States Navy
and Captain of the Eagle" was en-.
tertained in Oskaloosa, his home
city, yesterday at the home of John
F. Lacey. He was cordially greeted
by many friends who were more than
pleased to press the hand of the dis
tinguished gentleman once more.
Captain FLETCHER is on a leave of
absence before going into the navy
yard to superintend and direct the
building of some great guns for the
government.
Mr.. Fletcher in addition to being a
distinguished naval officer is an in
ventor of some of the most useful
and practical inventions now in
general use on the great guns of the
battle ships of the United States
Navy. One of the greatest of these
is a device for the handling of the
heavy breech block Of the big guns.
Formerly this great and weighty part
Of the gun had to be placed by by.

Ordinance No. 21S providing for the
placing of a fiagman at the intersec.
ton of the Rock Island road and
South Seventh street was reported
and passed upon by a suspension OF
the rules. The ordinance requires
that the flag shall protect the cross
ing against accident between the
hours of seven in the morning and
half past eight O'Clock in the even
ing.
The Ere committee came forward
with the statement that chemicals
we're needed and also about four hun
dred feet OF hose and bands and
coupler for the repairing of old hose.
Chemicals were ordered and the com
mittee will get prices on hose.
Councilman Mace Hagan, OF the
Second ward, desired that the city
make IN experiment in the trial of
brick crossings. He thinks that it
will save lumber bills in the long run.
There other tax affairs referred
to committee on claims.
F. D. Reid is still after seats in the
park and the matter was called up by
Councilman Carlin, but every one
was tired out and wanted their beds
rather than seats and the council ad-
journed to Thursday evening.

Heat PrOStralIOn.

In the midst of the service at the
Hostetter funeral on Monday Will
Richie, who was standing just out
side the cemetery fence, suddenly
became very pale and pitched back
ward, being caught by the men be-
hind. He vas laid on the grass and
it was found he had tainted away.
Restoratives were applied and he was
soon able to return to the city. He
is greatly improved today and the
doctors think it vas simply a case OF
heat ~prostration. Mr.. Richie march
ed to the cemetery with the Knights
and had been perfectly well in every
way.

was presented stating that it was be-
tween ten and fifteen minutes after
the arrival of the fire company at the
scene of the fire before the pressure
was so that water could be thrown.
The statement of the Telephone Go.
was also to the effect that they we're
to blame for the bad pressure on ac-
count in changes in telephones and
the pumping station at the river was
ten minutes in getting the informa-
ton of a fire and furnishing fire pres
sure. The bill was taken up separ-
ately and discussed. Mr.. Sheriff made
a statement and the bill was finally
allowed in full.
H. H. Sheriff desired a tappage on
a private sewer northeast of the city
for a new residence that he is build
ing q The sewer is a private one and
objection has been made to the tap
page. Under. the ordinances the
council has the power to grant the
tappage aud the same was done.
O. W. Bollinger has been having
much grief OIL account of his monster
watch sign that hung in front of the
mayors office. He recently removed
the sign-took it down to give it q
fresh coat of paint and gold leaf-and
when it was ready to be replaced the
mayor would moi permit it to be hung
in its former position. II was claim
ed that the sign was a nuisance and
that it obstructed the view from the
windows of the offices on the second
floor. The matter was thus brought
before the council and the body did
not sustain the position assumed by
the mayor but voted by a majority
of n that Mr.. Bollinger might re-
place his sign in its old position.
The vacancy on the library board
caused by the removal of Ira Kem-
BILE from this city to, Marshalltown
was filed by the mayor by the ap-
pointment of Miss Beulah Bennett.
There was quite an animated dis
QUESTION over the pond of stagnant
water that stands on the Rock Island
right of way, just east of the inter
section of the road and I'd street.
The pond is an accumulation of wat
err drained from several parts of the
city, and there may be some sewage
in the place. The difficulty in the
matter seems to be imperfect drain.
age that could be overcome to a GER
tain extent, by filling the pond. Mr..
Pendray, a property owner of the
neighborhood, came before the coun-
Gil with a complaint against the place
and his complaint resulted in the
passing of an order by the council
that the Rock Island Company be
notified to abste the nuisance by fill
ing within the next twenty days. The
water in the pond is about FIVE feet
deep. 1t is said that the place is a
swimming hole for neighborhood
boys, a frog pond and a general nuis-
ance, that'it breeds foul doors during
the heated dayst to the general annoy
ance Of theIentire neighborhood.
