The matter was discussed gener
ally by those present and among
those participating were Messrs.
Williams, Mayor Murphy, Snow,
johnson, 0ilkey, Sayer and others.
There seemed to be a general and
unanimous sentiment that if the
road desired TO come to here Chick
asha was ready and willing to ex.
tend them every aid and induce
ment possible, though the water
works question was a separate prop
Osition altogether At last i was
moved and seconded and carried
that the regular standing railroad
committee of the Commercial club
appointed some time ago to take
care of this very matter, be instruct
ed to communicate with the off,
cjals of the railroad, secure prop
osition from them, and report back
TO the club fer final action.
The meeting then adjourned
with the understanding that as
soon as there was anything to re.
port on, or any definite PROPOSE
ton made, the call of the president
would bring them together.

Hilton in THE AMERICAN of Marci,
IL of communication from its former
assistant editor, Nr. Titus.
This communication, it may be re-
nembered, told of doing some business
with Donald SWEET, foreman of the
New York Press composing room. In
the course of business it came ont
that Mr. Swett was descendant OF
the Lords, OF Ellsworth. and that fact
was the real occasion for writing the
letter
The result Is this: James Lord, one
OF EiIsgorth's old sea captains, had
an only sister, who, in her younger
Gays, sailed to California with her bus
band and infant SON. A few months
sitter their arrival the mother died,
and from that day to the publication
of Mr.. Titus article nothing had ever
been heard of the boy, although Mr.
Lord tried every way to find bim.
Donald SWEET turns out to be the long
lost boy.
