IS YOUNGEST OF ALL.
MIR. TAYLOR's DISTINCTION AMONG
TRAFFIC MANAGERS.
Ills RAILROAD CAREER SKETCHED.
Starting as Clerk I'm "a Minor Ca
the Responsible Office lie Now
Holds.

Mr.. Warren p. Taylor, the newly APP
pointed traffic manager Of the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad,
who on the 1st of last month. succeeded
his lamented brother, the late c. A. Tay-
Tor, to this responsible position, bears the
distinction of being the youngest traffic
manager of any railroad in this country.
His capabilities are, however. not less
marked than are those Of much older
men than he. and he has taken front
rank among the higher officers of south
ern railroads.
Mr.. Taylor did not celebrate his
thirteth birthday until ten days after he
succeeded to the office of traffic manager
but he assumed the trust reposed in MIN
as gracefully as if he had been accus-
toned all his life to such distinction, and
he is conducting his department with
signal ability and to the great satisfac-
ton Of his superiors.
HIS RAILROAD CAREER.
Mr.. Taylor was practically reared in
the railroad business. He left school
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1898-10-23

He entered the service of this department,
moving with the road 10 Washington.
For three years he remained in among
the vaults. when he resigned his position,
much to the regret of his associates, and
returned 10 this city, to accept the chief
CleTkship i'm the office OF his brother
then traffic manager OF the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac. As chief
clerk the duties of the traffic manager
largely devolved on him, and about two
years ago. his brother being forced by
declining health to absent himself almost
constantly from the office. the entire re-
sponsibility fell upon him. He proved
himself worthy of the trust reposed in
him, however, and as a reward therefor
he became traffic manager when the
office was vacated.
STILL OTHER HONORS.
While still serving in the capacity Of
chief clerk to his brother, Mr.. Taylor
represented the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac at all large gather
ings of traffic men, and in 1897 he was
honored with the office of secretary and
treasurer OF the Freight Claim Associa-
ton, one of the largest and most i'm
portant railroad organizations in this
country This highly honorable Office he
still retains.

nized authority among railroad men, and
he bears a most desirable reputation as
q thorough businessman. and a capable
railroad man. He is exceedingly popular
too. and though naturally modest and
retiring, where self is concerned, he is
a hustler when business is to be sought
and has long since proved his great
worth to the Richmond. Fredericksburg
and Potomac.
Mr.. Taylor married Miss Mary Mar
bury. Of Alexandria. some years ago, and
his little family is a most interesting
one. He is q son of Major James NJ. Tay-
lor. postmaster at Ashland, and his
brothers are Messrs Writ l.. Taylor, r.

age, and to his fund Of information he has

dlately upon leaving school Mr.. Taylor
entered the service Of the old Richmond

The Alton School Matter.

To THE CHIEETAIS, Vinita, 1. T.
We, the undersigned members
OF the city council of Alton, 1. T.,
having been, with numerous 9TH
ers of our town who took the same
view of the public school question
tried and condemned, absolutely
without hearing, by a number of
papers in and near the territory,
respectfully ask that you publish
the following statement, to the end
that those who wish to see the
matter from an unprejudiced stand
point may do so.
AS to our attitude on the ques-
tion of public schools, we refer the
reader to the public school clause
in the platform promulgated by
the Peoples ticket nominees, of
Vinita, recently. We endors,
that clause heartily. So does
every business man, with one pos.
sible exception, in the town of
Alton.
We are opposing the free school
proposition at this time on the
ground of its evident impractica.
bility under existing conditions.
We honestly believe that another
public school voted upon the peo-
pie of Alton, uEder these condi-
tions would be serious detriment
to them and to our town. AS to
the liberality of the business men
who oppose public schools at the
present time, we challenge the op-
position to produce one to our two
who has in the past five years paid
the tuition Of anyone not a mem.
Der of his own family.
To slander, villifcation and bill
lingsgate we make no reply. They
answer themselves.
Respectfully,

Grand Chapter O. e. 8.

| Immediately after the adjournment
of the Masonic Grand Lodge of the
Indian Territory, the Grand Chapter,
Order of the Eastern Star of the In
| dian Territory and Oklahoma, assem-
led in their ninth annual session.
AT 10 o'clock on the morning of the
11th the grand organist struck the
| first chords of the march. The doors
opened and the grand officers came in
in regular order. The address of well
come was delivered by Mrs. L. A.
Green, worthy matron of Purity
Chapter. 1t was answered by Miss
Lucille Walrond, of Muskogee.
1t was voted to declare the grand
chapter of New York not clandestine
during the session of the general
grand chapter, which occurs in
the last week Of September, 1898.
This action was taken with the hope
that New York will come in under the
general grand chapter and work under
its ritual and laws. Carrie NJ. Per-
kins, grand secretary, was elected as
our delegate to the general grand
chapter.
The Indian Mason, of Chelsea, was
chosen as the official organ Of the or
der. Two pages Of each issue will be
devoted to the o. E. S. work Mrs.
Carrie NJ. Perkins, Guthrie, Ok: Mrs.
Clara A. Mcbride, Atoka, and Mrs.
Rebecca NJ. Swain, Vinita, were ap-
pointed to supply the material for
publication for the ensuing year.
After the installation of grand Off
GERS, at Sis p. m, the grand lodge
closed. This was the shortest session
ever held. They meet next year at
Wynnewood.
After the close, Purity Chapter con-
vened and exemplified the work.
Mrs. Emma G.. Poole and Mr.. G. A.
Clawson, both Of Chelsea, were the
candidates. After the work was over
Purity chapter served the visitors
with the danties OF the season. Every
body retired well pleased, and regret
that twelve months must elapse ere
another meeting OF grand chapter.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year were:
Miss Nadia Charles, grand
worthy matron, Checotah, l. T.
W. L. Eagleton, grand worthy
patron, Pawnee, o. T.

2Sth of next March, and any
tenant or tenants of the purchaser
would Immediately become the
rightful owner of the place by vir-
tue of the purchase coupled with
his intention to take such lands in
good faith for allotments. If,
however, the original holder of
such excess fails to dispose of such
surplus of lands by March rs, 1899,
he shall forfeit such excess in ques-
ton, and is also liable to a fine
not less than 500, and each day
on which such offense is commit
ted or continues to exist shall be
deemed a separate otfense.
II a non-citizen is farming In
dian lands which are not claimed
for allotment or for the purposes
of allotment, then the rents on
such unclaimed lands must be paid
into the United States treasury
through this agency to the credit
of the tribe owing the land; but
any citizen of the nation wishing
to do so may, at the end OF the
crop year, settle on such unclaim-
ed lands for the purpose of allot-
ment in good faith, and thereafter
rent such lands and receive the
rents thereon.
Holders OF land in excess of the
amount which he and his family
are entitled to as allotments are
allowed TO collect the rents on
such excess for the present year,
| and the tenant is forbidden to pay
rent on such excess to any indivi-
dsal for his own use or for the use
of any one else, but must yay it
into the U. S. treasury through
this agency; and any violation OF
this provision by either the land
lord or tenant will subject them
to the penalties above mentioned.
What have written is my con-
struction of certain clauses OF the
Curtis bill, and l submit them to
be used as you sac proper.
There are crudities in the Cur
tis bill might say apparent con-
tradictions-and it will no doubt
require rulings by the interior
department and decisions of the
courts to reconcile such contradic-
tions and to explain crudities; and,
while the Curtis bill is, in some
points, provisional Gf the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw agreement is
rstifed), still you need not "read
between the lines" to discover
that allotment has come and come
to stay; and, with its entrance,
monopoly and its cohorts have
been remanded to the rear. 1t
will fire a parting shots, create
some friction and confusion, but
it will and must go.
l will say in addition that ii
might be best for renters in pay
ing rents to landlords to take a
