REGISTRATION LAW
Question of Installing System Of
Fire Alarms Urged by the Fire
Department.

At Monday evenings meeting of the
city council there was present a repre-
sentation from the fire department to
take up the question with the council of
installing a fire alarm system. The
ACCESSIBILITY of something being done
along this line was approved on all sides,
but it was considered best to inquire
further into the matter before taking
definite action. The question was
finally left in the hands of the fire com
mlttee of the council.
Mayor Mcintyre informed the council
| that he had appointed j. Il. Harla as
| city justice to ill out the %unexpired term
1 of the late o. B Aldrich. The appoint
ment was given unanimous approval by
| the council.
| An ordinance was presented by Mayor
| Mcintyre and given its first reading
which amends the present plan of
registration of votera for elections per-
tanning to municipal matters. Here
after the registration board will meet at
the city hall instead of separately at the
polling places of the three wards. The
provisions of the ordinance refer
only to registering for city elections.
The following bills were audited and
allowed by the council:

place Wednesday morning Rev. Father
LaRochelle officiating and the remains
were inferred in the Catholic cemetery.
The deceased was a familiar character
to all the old residents having lived all
his life IN the Olga and Walhalla neigh
borhood. He was about fifty years of
age and unmarried. He leaves several
brothers and sisters among whom is
county constable John Glover of this
place as we'll his aged mother to mourn

sympathy.
Last Friday morning occurred the
funeral of Joseph Lesperance one of the
pioneer settlers of this county, Rev.
Father LaRochelle officiated and the
remains now rest in the Catholic GENE
terry. In spite of the stormy weather
and bad roads a large number of old
n%elghbors and friends we're present to
pay their last respects to the deceased
who for so many years had lived among
them and shared all their joys and sor-
rows. The deceased had been suffering
more or less from diabetes for the past
eight or min years and last summer he
received al injury to a corn he had on
his right foot which eventually turned
to blood poison and although he went
to the hospital at Battleford his condl-
ton did not improve and he gradually
got worse until last December when MIR.
and Mrs. Henry Chaput. his daughter
and s%on-in-law, we're sent for, They
finally brought him home to die at his
old home, the scene of his early labors.
He who left some eight years ago a big
strong man weighing at least two hund-
red and forty pounds returned on a bed
a mere shadow Of his former self. He
died on the morning of the 18th ult-,
after many weeks of great suffering
which he endured with great fortitude
and resignation, The deceased was 60
years of age at the time of his death and
leaves his daughter and s%on-in-law, Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Chaput besides a host
of old friends and neighbors to mourn
his loss.
Joseph Lesperance was born. in Can
ada in 1914 and came to Manitoba in
1876 where he married Miss Boissy. He
came to Olga in 1885 and took up land
north Of town across the Little Pembina
where he continued to reside during the
next 20 years during which time he was
called upon to our the loss of his
wife. Having accumulated considerable
property be decided to move to the
Canadian Northwest and take up more
land which he did at Dan Holm near
Battleford and we un derstand cleared
about $4,000 in this We nture all of which
together with his property here goes to
his only daughter Mrs. Henry Chaput
and her children.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

certain that the directors of the Mer-
camille bank have decided not to make

they are affiliated they have lost
100000
A special session of the Grand Jury
has been called at which only affairs
of the wrecked bank will be consider
ed, with a view to determining the
extent of liability of bank officials.
Rats, big daring rats, are disturbing
the repose of c. Hunter Raine in the
county jail He has already lodged
his thousandth complaint about the
creatures, but there is no way to ex-
terminate them,
The first night Raine slept in Jail
he was annoyed. He is occupying a
bed recently vacated by two highway
robbers, both of whom were sent to
prison for long terms. The rats chase
each other across his bed nightly, he
says.
