A MINISTER'S DISAPPEARANCE.
Whereabouts OF DR.. Gardner of Fresno
Unknown.

UNKNOWN
FRESNO, Nov. GA great deal Of
anxiety is felt here over the disappear
ance of DIR. 5. \. Gardner, a Unitarian
minister. He left Fresno last August and
went to San Francisco, from where he
wrote to his wife a few days after his
arrival. Since then nothing has been
heard of him, and his many friends here
are beginning to feel alarmed about him
Gardner was employed as a lecturer BY
the Unity Society Of this city, an organ
izatiOn composed Of persons holding
broad views on theological questions. He
is deep thinker and man of consider
able brllliancy, besides having the faculty
of expressing his views in an interesting
manner. He gave the society great sat
istacIion and was paid a good salary
When the time came last fall for renew
ing the contract the society was a little
slow to act and Gardner seemed some
what piqued.
lie left town on a moments notice, TAX
ing about Sl75 with him. When he wrote
TO Mrs. Gardner he sent $3.50 OF this back
to her, and he therefore had only SO for
himself. OF course his pique is not be-
heved to be the sole reason for his pro-
/ lOnged absence.
He is known to be a very eccentric
man and has absented himself for long
periods before this, but not quite so long
as is the case at present, and it is for this
reason that his friends fear harm may
have come to him.
He has written several successful
books and was continually engaged in
literary work. His wife believes he will
return soon, and is OF the opinion that he
went away to engage in some important
literary work which could not be accom-
plished here.
When Gardner came to Fresno he left
the East without telling anyone Of
his intention, and it was only some time
later, after he had accepted the position of
lecturer with the Unity Society, that he
wrote back and had her join him. His
wife is well provided for, as a balance due
for his services was paid TO her.

The opinions gathered by STAR reporters
yesterday concerning the Presidents mes
sage showed that the message was
generally regarded not only as patriotic
but as a carefully considered, able and forcible
state paper. Perhaps the only utterance in the
collection that might have been mistaken as
diseordant was that equally attributed to
Representatives Hayes and Simpson, that "the
message read like the brief of a country law
yer" This, however, TO these who have care
fully considered the matter is regarded as in
tended TO convey an expression of the highest
approval The statesman from Clinton, Iowa
and the sage Of Medicine Lodge represent rural
interests. and Mr.. Simpson especially can be
that in the agricultural districts are
found the healthy patriotism, the purity
and wisdom which are 10 save the country.
Hence the term country lawyer" could not
in their minds be associated with any idea of
dispraise. Had they said city lawyer il
might be argued that they meant to attach to
the Presidents utterances some notion of dis
ingeuuO1sness and cunning, such as all men of
bucolc life, who may perhaps at some time or
other have fallen into the hands of bunco men
or other city sharpers, are apt to attribute to
al things belonging to the city. Il is undoubt-
edly true. as these champions Of all things
rural possibly suggest, that the country law
yer has done great deal toward making this
great nation 1t requires only brief con-
sideration Of historic names to discover that
many of the Eaen to whom the republic is most
indebted were country lawyers

it is ereditable to her that she is able to find
