TACOMA. Feb. 19.-The captain OF
the American bark Gerard c. Tohcy,
now in this port, tells a strange tale
of a reporter for the Boston Journal,
who was shanghaied and put aboard
his ship while intoxicated at New
York. At Shanghai he deserted. but
upon arrival at Hong Kong the captain
was surprised to find he had preceded
him there. King O'keefe. the absolute
ruler of the island of zap and other
islands. believed to belong to the Car
olinc group. had taken n fancy to him
and had made the Boston journalist as
sistant king and sub-ruler Of the next
most important island. When the cap
tain left the journalist. who was known
as Charley" to his sea-faring friends.
was flying high and ruling his subjects
In u lordly manner.

LOCAL LEGISLATION
Greece Had Only Seven Wise Men and
Ocaia Goes Her One Better

The city council held its rceu-
lar session Tuesday night. All
members present except Col. Liv-
Ilngston, who was out of the
city.
The usual courtesy of the coun-
Gil was extended to the commit
tee from the board Of county
commissioners to confer on the
locat tion Of the Ocala and Silver
Springs hard road. The said
committee consisted OF Messrs.
Allen, Morgan and Mcleod.
Mr.. Allen presented the MINOR
lty and majority reports Of the
board S committee to locate the
said road, the essence of which
can be seen in another column of
the Star.
The only difference, If any, was
iiO" idl "CSO VI Ulc Olicc-ulllt
post on the old Sharp's ferry
road the Silver Springs road
should turn off.
The above was really left with
Surveyor James Moorhead, and
SO the happy thought of County
Attorney Burford bore fruit, by
all differences beng wiped out,
and now complete harmony pre-
walls between the Interested bod
les, and work on the road will be-
gin this month.
Those who participated in the
discussion Of the question were
Allen, Moorhead, II. X. Smith,
d. w. DAVIS, Hooker and Com
missioner Morgan.
The latter spoke for himself
and his people. He said they
wanted the road to go as far to-
wards Stark's ferry as possible
the farther the better. Hence he
wanted it to go to the three mile
post, as 80 per cent. of the peo-
pie Of his district, which com
prised one-third of the area of
Marion county, did their business
and trading in Ocala, and the
sooner a hard road was built for
them the better for Ocala.
Allen, among other things,
said that the county board would
not lose sight of the fact that the
longer the road the greater would
be the expense to the county to
keep it up, and such an expense
was continuous. He said that
there would be no trouble IN To-
eating the road to the head of the
Springs, as, years ago, a, public
road existed to that point and
it never had been closed, and if
necessary the county could con-
demn the land for road purposes.
Then Mr.. Hooker introduced
the following resolution, which
passed unanimously:
Resolved, that the council
hereby expresses It's appreciation
OF the route of the hard road to

Sharp's ferry road, from Ocala
to a point on the said road west

Of Silver Springs.
Mr.. p. b. Dukes then appealed
for Sl25 to help get the running
teams of the Ocala firemen to
the Jacksonville gala week con-
test.
President Davis thought they
should be helped; 50 did Alder
man Hooker, who said the ser
vices Of the firemen were inval-
liable to Ocala, as they served
without pay, and should be en-
couragcd, and such outings were
helpful and stimulating, yet un-
der the ordinances he did not see
how this money should be grant
ed them.
