His face is aa bard and cold as ths gray tens aides of an of his own familiar reeky mountain cliffs. H has a clear, resonant voice, but when there Is trouble In ths sir It goes low and lower tn ton, until It Is hardly louder than a whisper; but that vole always reaches every man whom Ball Intends bis words to reach. General Ball first became known to fam as on of the First Volunteer Cavalry, better known aa Roosevelt's Rough Riders. He went In aa a private. His absolute f-xl bravery, his unbreak able veneration for disolplln, and the red glare that cam Into his eye when b bad caus for excitement caught the attention of his company officers, and they spoke of him to Colonel Roooevelt. His commander found in him all the qualities of the west r vhnm ha written with en thusiasts appreciation. Sell was mad , a lieutenant. When the Spanish war volunteers were mustered out at Camp Wlkoff. Colonel Roosevelt started on his campaign for the governorship of this state. It will b re membered that all through that campaign be was accompanied by a number ef the officers and men of bis regiment, wbo not only mad speeches for him but constituted themselves a guard of honor about bis pet v The most oonspiouous of . the was Bharman Bell. People who were much with Mr. Roose velt during that campaign learned to ilk Sherman Bell and to b afraid of him at the kam time. Th concentration of per sonal dignity entirely different from any thing like th big head waa so remarkable In him that It was almost fierceness. He could laugh aa quickly and as long ever a good Joke as anybody, but If he tidn't happen to see th Joke,1 or If It Im pressed him aa a reflection on himself' or "th Colonel, there waa murder In hi y Bell's story, as told at th time, was that be had gone Into th Rough Rider from Cripple Creek, where be bad beau deputy sheriff In th days when Cripple Creek was a new camp. He had given up great honor In bis own country and no little opportunity for material rich, in order to gat Into th war. He was th son of fairly well-to-do parent living In Colo rado Springs.

His clear-headedness and his determination mad friends for "him among th mlnlngmen of Colorado, and h acquired several valuable properUes and disposed of them advantageously. When Mr. Roosevelt, as candidal for th vie presidency, visited Colorado In 1800, on of th first men to great him at th stat line waa Sherman Bell, mine wnar. It will be remembered that at Victor Governor Roosevelt was mobbed by a drunken horde of former Coeur d'Alene miners after he had spoken In th Vlotor town hall. Mf. Roosevelt said then to those about him that his princi pal reason for fear In that distressing hour waa that Sherman Bell would begin (kill ing popl. Cowlnar Meb. Th mob followed tb governor to his special train. Bell, climbing aboard th rear platform of Mr. Roosevelt's car, pushed th candidate inside and turned to ward th stons throwers and th hooters. Mr. Roosevelt cam out of th door and pushed Bell aside. Meantime brickbats and decayed fruit were maklns: marks all aVar tha anil ttt Ik. car. Sherman Bell crabbed Mr. Roosevelt, and threw him back Into th oar by main tore. "I'm gains; to kill somebody la a nunut," he said with a cold, sweat smile. "LleuUnant," tha governor of New York shouted In bis sharpest military tone, "how dare you treat your superior officer this way I Go into that car and leave m alone out here." Th words caught Bell Just In tlm. H saluted gravely, said "Beg pardon, oolonelt" and went back Into th car. Th train pulled out without bloodshed. Ther waa a Journey of twenty minutes or more to Cripple Creek. It was reported that th Victor mob was going to Cripple Creek by trolley to renew Its attack. Bel organised a poas of his former Rough Rider and deputy sheriff oomrada who war on th Roosevelt train. They war aa deadly looking a crew as It waa ever th fortune of th Sun man pres ent t look upon. This Is what Bell said: "Hav you fellers got your guns onT Now don't say 'Yes,' but take 'em out and look at 'em and make sure they are loaded. CP use.) All right!

An eastern person ventured to remark that bloodshed under those orders would make a very unfavorable Impression on th republican canvass In ths east This Isn't the east, str." said Bell, softly, "and th campaign can g to hell. We are going to maintain tb laws ef the state of Colorado." Oat for Killing. Word get abroad among the Victor pil grims, wbo had actually come over to Cripple Creek tn following their program, "that Shermaa Bell waa out for a kill ing." They quietly and unoetentaUou.lv got back on their trolley oars and went back to Victor. Th moat orderly meeting ef that whole campaign, east and west, waa that In Cripple Creek that night. The audience didn't evea dare applaud until Bell got up and said: "What's th matter with you people? Don't you Ilk th colonel? Why don't you holler?"

SKETCH OF HIS METHODS AND TRAITS Wsrka Bard tow His Client, Whetfcew a Trast or 'Vaelo Basa Takes M Interest la Polities aaa la Jfot a Story Teller. When th old school playwright mad a play, or th old school novelist a novel In which a lawyer figured, he eoncelved It his duty to make hi character th law Incar nate. Th bar atuck out all over him; there waa nothing miscellaneously human about him, and you oouldn't forget and were not meant to forget for one moment that hs waa tha type. Everything that did not necessarily pertain to tha bar was carefully aqueesed out of him. Readers have wondered If any such typi cal lawyer ever existed, and remembering how little their own lawyer friends resem ble the type, have decided tn th negative. But th playwright Is vindicated. Any ons who doubts the existence of his character has only to Journey to Washington and study Philander C. Knox, attorney gen eral and senator-designate. Net that he Is the lawyer of the play and ths novel; he la a mors modern type, but he is a lawyer always. Seldom haa there hen a man so prominent In Washington who Is th subject of so little aneodot. Knox haa been there three years, and for two of Nth baa been on of th most talked about men In the country. But there are no stories about him. He la never credited with saying any witty things. He la not a story teller, though be la a fisher man. Hs haa figured In no humorous Inci dents In his Una. Bow He Paaeked a Hoaalasn. Once, at Atlantic City, aom wealthy hoodlums indulged In Indecent language in the hearing of some women who were din ing with Mr. Knox. Immediately afterward the gilded youths were on ths outside of the place, one of them nursing a black eye, the gift of Mr. Knox. This Is th only "Incident" of his career: and it took place In a business Ilk manner, with no frills. ' Even the Imagination of ths summer re sort reporters could not Invest the affair with any entertaining and romantlo details. It waa aa simple and business like an affair as the occasion when in his youth Knox dropped out of college because, when the whole class was under sentence of suspen sion If It did not apologise to the faculty, the little, round-faced. bullet-headed fighter was th only on who would not apologise. He has don remarkable and striking things, but the newspaper correspondents have had nothing Interesting to record about his way ef doing them. When Hay calls checkmate on the International board or Payne throws a postal grafter out ther are picturesque Incidents to record; but when Knox fires the first shot at a trust whose scalp hs means to have, ther Is absolutely nothing to record except that bo haa done It H la not a man that things happen ta Ton caa as easily Imagine things happening to th "Code of Civil Pro cedure." Knox has spent his life In one of the moat highly political states on the map. and he has lived tn Pittsburg, where political things are always happening. But he never took part In any cltlsen movement against th local ring.

No Plttsburger could hav Imagined him In politics, not even in politics aa a recreation. A Corporatloa Lawyer. Knox waa not a Jury lawyer: it would be Impossible to think of that dry, keen, studious brain so employed. He was a corporation lawyer. He was the counsel for the Carnegie Steel company and Its al lied concerns, which paid him a salary vari ously reported as from $50,000 to 180,000 a year. ' President McKlnley took him away from th steel people and "made him attorney general at a salary of $8,000 a year. Tb Inference was Irreeistable. No 'clearer case. It was said, of putting a trust attorney In the office of trust prosecutor had ever been made; If Knox took 18,000 to prosecute the trusts, It must be because the trusts meant him to and considered it a good Invest ment But those who reasoned In this war for- mrrt. that VnA 1a flrat nf nil a. law... Xtm-i has the lawyer's conscience as not one law yer In a thousand has. It Is the lawyer's conscience that makes the lawyer do his best for his client even If ha knows that client to be a murderer. Knox had served the trusts, bis clients, with Sr skill and efficiency that had raised him to the front rank of his profession and won for him golden rewards. When the client waa th United States government Knox-proceeded to serve It exaotly as hs had served his old client Why, aa a lawyer, he should hav given up the magnificent salary his old client paid him to. take th beggarly pay of his new one a wage that does not pay. the ex penses of bis beautiful establishment tn Washingtonis a mystery. But Knox is rich and perhaps be oounted in the glory that goes with publlo station and public achievement with the picayune, salary his new client offered, and figured that th ex hcang was fair. A Tilt with Harris a. Mr.' Knox was a big lawyer la Pitts burg for a good many years before hs accompanied Andrew Carnegie to see President Cleveland, and it ook only a short conversation, to Impress the demo oratio president and lawyer i with th splendid attainments of the young Pitts burger. He .next leaped Into the front rank of American lawyers in connection with a suit in Indianapolis, In whloh the late President Harrison waa an attorney. It waa a street railway fight In which Plttsburgers were Interested. Harrison waa inclined to Ignore the Plttsburger be cause of his apparent youth. Harrison had been a leader of the In diana bar for many years and a national figure. He felt his oats. Knox had an Idea how the case should be conduoted, and Harrison had his Idea. Of course, they were opposite. Knox believed that ha was right snd he delivered those sledge-hammer arguments which have made him so famous with such good effect that Harrison succumbed and took up the Pittsburg line of reasoning. And that line won th cass which waa worth a cool million and a half to th Pittsburg capitalists. That let th country know what Pittsburg had long before realised full well. HI Beslaessllk Methods. When President Roosevelt became head of the government and he wanted some suits brought Knox took the orders of his client It appeared that the suits were to be against trusts. Knox was perfectly satisfied. He went to work under Mr, Roosevelt's orders with the hard, direct determina tion not th enthusiasm, Kaox Is sot clSt: 9 THIS RELIABLE! STORE.

He was no more emotional about It than he had been when he was doing routine business under Mr. McKlnley's orders. When hs said, after th Northern Se curities decision, that th government was "not going to run amuck," he spoke1 for his client He would prosecute trusts Just as fast or as slowly, he said, aa his cUent desired, and what he did would be done with a splendid efficiency. Ther would be no more emotion about it than It he were suing delinquent debtors In a magistrate's court Knox's trust suits were . oondncted by subordinates, under his general direction. When he makes a big killing and the newspaper men go to him for something Interesting about It Knox tells them about these subordinates and how the work was apportioned among them. Insists that ths full measure of credit be given them, and says nothing about himself. He Is a little man, with a oherublo face and a brisk, alert manner. He bustles when be walks. vHe looks an Inquisitor In the eye and replies In a prompt, staccato manner. There Is nothing pompous or pre tentious about him; he is franknesa Itself, as candid as a lake. Hs has not th vieo of lying to newspaper men; If he does not want to give them the Information sought he tells them so with cheery directness. There Is a bright free dom about his manner In conversation that Is somewhat western. He lives in a magnificent house, sur rounded with every luxury, yet sometimes hs has been known to com to th door himself when the bell ring. Horses are his passion, even above golf; when he cam to Washington Be bought two for which he paid several thousand dollars more than th Count of Mont Oris to did for th pair with which he astonished Paris. In aU the talk about bow Knox will fig ure In the senate the extraordinary devel opment of bis law-mind haa been over looked. Ther is no telling anything about it When he leaves ths Department of Justice the work which he has been doing for his client will b cleeed. In one sensb be will be working for the same client but in another sense he will not" Perhaps hs" will consider himself perfectly free to interest himself in other matters than trusts. When Philander C Knox takes bis seat tn the senate there will be more than one reason to watoh his career with Interest An interesting political study will bs pre sented, but there will also be a very lnT terestlng psychological problem to solve, New Tork Tlmea REED SAYS KICKS WILL COME OeWBtr Assessor Not Deladeel Beeaaee Taayarers Ar Slew la Makiasj Protests.

A good many such rumors hav been circulated by cer tain parties since the present fight began, Many b as y bodies ar concerning them selves with th Idea that they will run th pollc department of Omaha and hav attempted It at times, but so far as the Beard of Fir and Pollc Commissioner Is concerned, when th matter cornea to an issue, if it does, th commission will hav a word to aay and will endeavor to attend to the functions of Its office without re ceiving dictation from outside sourcea Now, I want to add, moreover, that so far as Mr. Seavey's alleged anxiety in this direction Is concerned It Is my impression that he wants to keep entirely out of the present controversy and that reports that he Is anxious to mix up in It are entirely false and without foundation." Mr. Broatch haa bis own ideas and opln- lens of the work of the Clvio Federation, many of whose members personally he highly esteems, and some of these im pressions hs was not loth to make known, but, as he said, bs was not desirous of mixing up In the affair, and requested that he be not quoted In this connection. He did not object however, to being quoted to the extent of saying that the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners was doing the best It could to look after ths affairs of Its office snd would so continue, regard- , lees of any proffered phllanthrophy In the way of assistance. Regarding the personal friendship be tween himself and Mr. Seavey, Mr. Broatch said: "We alwaya have been strong friends and ar yet. II comas to so so vrjr tins he comes to Croatia.'
