On Dec. 20. 1850, Mr., Stanton. then AZ years
OF age. was appointed Attorney General OF the
United States. IN to that time. with the ex-
ccption OF one years service in early life as q
county Prosecuting Attorney and Of three
years service as a State Supreme Court re-
porter. he had never held Office. or desired to
hold any. 1t is certain that his appointment was
not a political one. He had rendered no po-
litical services emitting him to recognition at
the hands OF President Buchanan or Of the
Democratic party. 1t is impossible to imagine
that he desired the post, for it was an invita-
ton to leave a lucrative practice and share

nnce OF expression" Mr.. Harding goes on TO
say that atanton's manner OF preparing his
arguments which were to be presented
to the Supreme Court was to ar
range his matter In advance. and then to
formulate his sentences and correct them
mentally. without using any notes or reducing
anything to writing, so that his great speeches
were practically precomposed and committedto
memory. although he never wrote out a single
sentence OF them. His utterance thus had all
the vigor OF an extemporaneous production.
and. at the same time. possessed the accuracy
and completeness Of a written speech.
In the latter part OF 1856 Mr.. stanton removed
to Washington. where he was presently en-
ployed by the Government as special counsel
In California land cases. The discharge OF his
duty compelled him to 20 to San Francisco.
and his experience In California led him to
frame two bills. ultimately adopted by Con-
gress. one Of which provided for the oompul-

longing to the archives. and the other for the

IS IT A SHERIFF
Unlikely Story That Comes From

A dispatch from Chihuahua says:
"Sheriff Joseph Reed, Of Wichita,
Kas., and +. W. Petty, a Kansas bank
er, reached Chihuahua at midnight
Thursday for the purpose of taking
Grant &, Gillett back to the United
States. Gillett sent for the American
consul as soon as he learned that the
sheriff intended taking him into Gus.
tody. A consultation was held and
from all that could be learned Gillett
cannot be taken back against his will.
ID. H. Arnold, of Kansas City,
reached chihuahua last night and
after consultation with Gillett be-
hind closed doors departed for the
City Of Mexico, where it is supposed
he went to confer with President Diaz
to endeavor to effect the surrender Of
the fugitive.
Charley Hunt returned from Kan
sas City Thursday night and stated
soon after his arrival that satisfac-
tory arrangements had been made
with Gillett's creditors and that the
fugitive would return to the States by
February IT,
The chances are that Reed is not a
sheriff but merely Grants brothel-in-
law Of that name living near Wood
bine. A meeting of creditors has
been talked OF at Kansas City today.
1t is doubtful II it had any basis or
will be held.

Wyoming Stucco Speculation Was a
Gigantic Failure,

1t will be remembered that two
years ago j. W. Breidenthal, G. b.
Hoffman and others organized stuc-
co company to operate in Wyoming.
1t promised a fortune and directors
used to come to Enterprise in special
cars to hold meetings and talk about
dividends. Will Reese, of Salina, tells
Wichita paper that the venture lost
the spectators over 100000. Mr..
Reese has been interested in the stuc-
co business for the past ten years and
has sunk fortune at it.. The first
stucco mills in Kansas were started
en- land belonging to himself and
father in Saline county. Since then
they have been in the business in diff
ferent parts Of this State and in Texas
and Wyoming.

ABILENE, Jan. 24.-The many
friends and relatives of M. H. Bert
wish to express their opinion Of the
gratuitous injury done them by the
Chronicle last evening in publishing
venomous attacks on Mr.. Bert's char
acter without foundation. The ''ru-
NOR" was simply unsupported gossip
and paper which would give it pub
licity sinks to a filthy level. Not a
word Of fact concerning it has ever
come here. Mr.. Bert has been living
a clean life and now that he has dis.
appeared without his friends knowing
the reason it is contemplate and base
for paper to publish attacks on him
simply to stir up trouble, and to make
life harder for his heart.broken wife
and daughters. II all that is charged
against him were true it could not be
lower than to abuse a man when.he is
down and cause unnecessary grief to
afflicted ones. 1t has been the
Chronicles mission under its present
management to cause as many tears
and as much heart.ache as possible,
to blacken character and ruin homes.
1t seems to be determined to main
tain its record and cause as much sor.
row for Mr.. Berts family and friends
as perverted imagination can devise.
