weeks ego. He said his calling was that Of
. millwrighs.
Mr.. Mills had come to Ssdalia to Pur-
chase hogs, and in addition to the money
stolen from him, had about fifty dollars
more in checks and drafts concealed in his
drawers.
A man answering to the above descrip
ton Was seen running through the yards
towards East Sedalia. He afterwards went
into Charley Dalhuin's barber shop on
East Third street, and got a bath and
shave, and then tried to obtain something
to eat at Curran's restaurant. This was
the last seen of him.
Since the above was written Mr.. Mills
has stated that he will hold Mr.. Rose, the
proprietor of the Pacific house, responsible
for his loss.
From this and various other actions, it
would look as though the whole thing was
a put up job. The above statement of the
affair was one which Mills gave to BAzoo
reporter. In it he stated that he did not take
the whisky offered him because he did not
drink. while yesterday evening he has been
seen to imbibe pretty freely. This with a
number of inconsistencies in his story,
makes it resemble in q strong degree black
mailing.

Welded command of the army TO Lieuten-
ant General Philip H. Sheridan. The pow
ers of the latter are increased but not his
rank. The law is that the rank of general
shall lapse on the death of Sherman, and
that Of lieutenant general ON the death of

storing eventually tine old system OF hav-
ing the highest rank that of major general

from Sherman to Sheridan is an interest L.
ing historical event. Both are men of gen.
Jus. The genius of each is similar in its
intense vitality, but unlike in all other re-
spects. Sherman is great STRAIT gist as
as well as great campaigner, a scholar, a
cynic, an orator, a waltzer, a kisser, a
strong hater for short while, an egotist,

Peace makes, Bohemian Of him-but he
has an old soldiers dogmatism, testiness,
anecdOte, and as a citizen his common
sense is amazing in its amount. His are
the weaknesses which hang on the neck OF
strength. Sheridan's genius has so far been
illustrated only by handling troops in
action, by improvisins resources or devices
la great emergencies, and by his ability
to inspire confidence of spirit and
celebrity of NOV. ment smong his
men. In these regards he never had a su-
perior in the union army. He has a few
powers extraordinarily developed. Sher-
man has so many so powerfully developed
that they border on the parii' ion which
divides grand capacity from subIimated
crankism. Respecting books society and
plea sure, Sheridan is commonplace. He is
intense in battle, but not intellectual out of
it. Bur saucratic work and sheer posing
duty chafed Sherman, and will be intolers-
BILE to Sheridan; but both men have hold
on the history ard hearts OF the land that
they can do anything, within the law which
they please, except run for president or ex-
