Whatever may be the final re-
suit of the campaign, it is to be
hoped the agitation in favor of free
schools will continue till it fructi-
fes into a splendid school system
for the town. There is little diff
ference in opinion upon the school
proposition among our people or
between the political parties now
in the field. The tax levied
should be sufficient to raise at
least 5000 a year, and that
amount judiciously expen ded
would start the institution in go cd
shape.

REMINlsCENcE OF LINCOLN.


How Governor Pratt Secured Hb SONS
Release From Fort Monroe.
Former Congressman Henry G.
worthington of Nevada tells the
following story of President Lin
coin:
Former Governor Thomas G.
Pratt of Maryland was the first Whig
governor ever elected by the people
of that state. During the war he
was arrested by order of Secretary
Stanton and imprisoned at Fort
Monroe.
During Pratt's confinement at
Fort Monroe Lincoln and Secretary
Seward paid a visit TO the fort on
important business one day. While
there Seward saw Pratt. They had
served in the United States senate
together. There was a feeling of
personal friendship between them,
and Seward interceded to have him
released.
Just at the close of the war
Pratt's only son was wounded and
captured and held prisoner at Fort
Monroe Pratt applied to Stanton
and Mr.. Dana, his assistant, for the
release of his son. 1t was very
promptly and without ceremony re-
fused by both.
Governor Pratt then appealed TO
me for an introduction to President
Lincoln. ! complied with the re-
quest and went with him to the
White House and introduced him to
Lincoln Lincoln grasped his hand
cordially and expressed great de-
light in meeting him, as he was the
first Wing governor elected in Mary
land. You know Lincoln was orig
inally a Whig and strong partisan
What can ] do for youi' the
president asked.
Pratt told him about the confne-
ment of his wounded son and ap-
pealed to the president for his re-
lease.
1.-The president became very re-
fective, and after a few moments of
silence and thought he asked Pratt
if he would exercise proper control
over the boy and try to effect
change in his mind and conduct
Pratt gave him every assurance,
and after another long silence the
president said:
Pratt, do you know what I was
thinking abouti'
Pratt did not
"'I was thinking how / could
comply with your request and re-
lease this boy without setting dan
gerous precedent or being detri
ment to the public service. l am
glad that it is in my power to do
you this favor, but ] shall hold you
responsible for the return of your
son when called for, you becoming
bail for his good conduct.
Upon which Mr.. Lincoln wrote
an order to the officer in command
at Fort Monroe to deliver to Gov
ernor Pratt his son, Thomas Pratt,
to be returned to the president when
called for. He handed the card TO
Governor Pratt with the remark:
Governor, teach your SON TO sin
no more.
Governor Pratt was very much
affected, and as he arose to bid the
president goodby be said:
Would to God, Mr.. President.
that the southern people might see
and know you as i have seen and
known you today
"As we left the White House tears
gushed into the eyes of Governor
Pratt. Trembling with emotion, he
grasped hold of my arm to steady
himself and keep from falling.
This was the most interesting
and affecting incident Of All my re-
1ations with the dead president.

The Daily Chieftain is authorized
to announce the name Of John Parks
as candidate for the Office of city
marshal to be voted on at the city
election April 4th.
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1899-03-23

Interest in the coming city cleo
ton now seems to center about the
Office Of city marshal. The office
being an elective one the "longest
pole will knock the persimmon."
The average citizen wants town
marshal who has the moral stand
ing to not only enforce the law
upon others but to obey it himself.
The officer who willfully and
knowingly refuses to execute the
ordinances of the town, after hav-
ing sworn to do SO, is not suitable
person for the place.

THE PROSPECT BRIGHTER.

After all the political milling
that has been going on in Vinita
for the last week, ii can now be
confidently remarked that the
town stands better chance of get
ting creditable city government
than on many other occasions
prior to the election. Two very
good tickets have been selected,
and the chances are that partisan
ism will not cut much of a figure
after all. A large number of our
most influential people have avoid
ed all party entanglements and are
now consequently free to vote and
act independently if they SO elect.
The men who have urged and Sc
cured party division have been
located and their motives uncov-
cred fully. One result of this po-
lilical agitation viii be to cement
and consolidate the interest and
common purpose of the Cherokee
citizen contingent whose personal
rights are certainly at stake.
Those who have nothing to lose
can afford to rush into Estate"
politics, and insist upon high
rolling, reckless city administra-
tion. but the people who have
seen the town grow up from a
struggling hamlet on the prairie to
a thriving bustling city, and who
have invested the earnings of
busy life time, cannot bear the ex-
pense or'go the gaits' suggested by
some Of our partisan friends. The
Indian citizen in Vinita has hereto
fore been able to cope with every
circumstance, and hold his own
against the world, the flesh and
the devil, and there is no reason
to believe that he will not contin-
ne to do so for some time to come.

SOMETHING ABOUT HERBER'
KEEL lCEY.

Herbert Kelcey has always exercised
a noteworthy reticence and modesty in
regard to his personal affairs. This is
not generally characteristic of theatri-
cal folk, which makes Mr.. Kelcey's
case all the more distinctive and
praiseworthy. Though he has passed
nearly his entire residence OF fifteen
years in this country in New York
city, comparatively few details have
been printed in regard to his personal
career. A few interesting facts have
recently leaked out and are worth not
ing. Mr.. Kelceys full name is Her
bert Lamb Kelcey, and he is kin to the
famous Charles Lamb. His father held
a commission as judge from Queen
Victoria for over forty years, and was
subsequently retired on a pension. Mr.
Kelcey was intended for the army
but the death Of his father changed his
/ plans. Mr.. Kelcey was but IS years
old at the time. He came into quite {

MILFORD WOMEN DISCUSS IT AT
A MEETING OF THE CENTURY
CLUB.
Special Correspondence Evening Journal
Milford, Feb. THE meeting Of the
New-Century Club on Monday was in
the interest Of prison reform. Mrs.
Willis, the president of the club, made
the opening address and clearly show
cd why such refrom is necessary; in
the first place, for the benefit Of the
criminal, and secondly, in the interest
of the taxpayers. To prove the latter,
portions OF Chief Justice Lore's statis-
tics were read. Addresses were then
made by Rev. Henry Bunstein, Joseph
e. Holland and Hon. J. S. Willis. The
lack of cleanliness, intercourse be-
tween the less hardened criminals
with the more desperate ones, enforced
idleness, all tend to send forth crimi-
mails worse than when they entered.
The great advantages of a state work
house we're clearly proved by the re-
suits achieved at the Elmira Reforma-
tory, and also in the reports Of the
work done in other states.
Rev. Dr. Barrett has been invited tc
return to Milford next year. His ser
mons are very fine and his invitations
to those who wish to lead a better lif,
to go forward and be quietly received
into the church after the morning ser
mon have been the means Of adding
many prominent persons to thu
church. He breaches to crowded con
gregations morning and night.
