ON SOUTH SEA ISLAND.
An Adventure in Oceanica Told by
Lloyd Osborne.

Lloyd Osborne has one of his delight
full South Sea Island stories. which he
calls "A Son of Empire" In our next
Sunday Magazine. The island was Da-
kahanga, away down in Oceanica. where
the narrator Of the story and his friend
attended to all the local trading, assisted
by old David. the missionary, to rule II
with rod of iron. and were generally
leading citizens Of the near-republic.
Their fancied independence was most
rudely distured one day when ship
hove to in the offing, and a man came
ashore who instantly proclaimed himself
James Howard Fitzroy GLENN. Esq.
resident deputy commissioner who
forthwith annexed the island lin the
name of her royal and imperial majesty
Queen Victoria"
GLENN was the worst possible kind of
despot and ruled the innocent Inhabitants
with the merciless hand Of despot.
Things went from bad to worse, with
harassing taxes and rigid laws, until at
last 1t waas found that the poor deluded
people had been-it's capital story. and
would doubtless have made considerable
impression on the judges OF our prize
story competition this spring IL Il had
been entered.

Councilmen Hahne and Garth Ap-
pointed to Investigate Fire
Protection in Other
Cities.
WILL ACT WITH F1REMEN
Petition Signed by Property Owners
on Cedar Street Object
to New Sewer.
WILL ACT WITH F1REMEN

The regular session of the council
was held at the city hall last even
ing. Councilmen 0. N. Ross and
W. L. Whitman were absent, both
being out of the city.
A petition signed by w. j. Covil
and others was presented to the
council in connection with the pro-
posed sewer on Cedar street, from
Superior to Prospect. The properly
owners in that district object to the
putting in of the new sewer, as there
is now a bell joint sewer on the
street which, according to the petit
ton, has proven ample for sanitary
and storm purposes for the past fif-
teen or twenty years. The signers
suggest that the present sewer be
connected with the proposed new
one to be put down on Superior
street; that intakes for water be re-
constructed and property owners in
the district from Superior to Pros
pect street on Cedar street be as
sessed. They also ask that their
present sewer be made part of sewer
district No. 10. The petition was
filed, but no action taken on it.
However, it is to be brought up for
consideration at the next meeting.
The matter of better fire protec-
ton for the city was again brought
before the council last night Coun-
cilmen Fred Hahne and E. W.. Garth
were appointed to act in this mat
ter. They and three members of
the fire company will visit Waterloo

Will be used in the matter of obtain
ings new fire equipment for this city,
should such purchase he made. The
matter of new fire house, etc, will
no doubt be submitted to the voters.
