More About the WOuld-be Grain Rob
bers Mt KinsIey,

The Kinsley Republican with commen-
dablC enterprise printed extras to keep its
patrons posted on the attempted railroad
robbery at that place. The following is an
amended account of the affair:
The west bound express train moved in
TO the depot few minutes late-at four
Il. N. The night operator and w. +. Blan-
chard, of the Eureka hotel, were prisoners
in the hands of the robbers, and were com
manded TO enter the express car. Messeu-
ger Brown had the door open preparatory
to discharging express matter. One of the
disguised knights pointing re-
volver in his face commanded him
to "give up" or he would shoot. Brown,
taking in the situation, threw his lantern
in the coal box, and seizing his revolver,
opened fire. Blanchard had thrown his
lantern away, and after being persuaded
by four or five cooked revolvers entered the
car, but Immediately made his escape at
great risk, and rushing to the Kinsley gave
the alarm, sending messenger to the sub
urbs for G, L. Hubbs; then arming him
self returned to the scene. Mr.. Hubbs
promptly arrived mounted and armed with
a trusty Creedmoor, and assisted in organ
izing party to start in pursuit. Conduc-
tor Mallory is entitled to great credit
for his GOODNESS. He heard Kinkade's
warning and acted accordingly, securing
the cars to prevent entrance. Zlegler, Of
Wichita, had "business" in Kinsley and
in business manner stepped off the train,
when he was received by two Of the rob-
bers who invited him to step back into the
car at once, z, did not stop to argue, but
obeyed. Several shots were fired into the
express car without damage. Two of the
robbers who were on the engine covering
engineer Anderson with revolvers, went to
assist their confederates, when the engineer
started the train and the robbers skedad
died for their horses.

THE EASTERN VAR.

The central committee of the Crescent
Society telegraphs from Constantinope an
appeal to all kindred societies of the Red
Cross, all benevolent institutions and all
kind hearted men of all countries. Ii says:
4 considerable number OF wounded soldiers
are locking into Constantinople from all
parts Of the country. Nearly 10000 refu-
gees, victims of the war, are flying from
the scene of military operations, deprived
OF all means of existence and almost naked.
II constitutes situation which, consider
ing the limited resources of the Red Crescent
society, might end in disaster and general
calamity; that smallpox and typhus have
commenced among the refugees, and efforts
are be ng made to send them to Asia, 1t Is
apprclendcd the increased population of
Constontinople will occasion scarcity Of
provisions unless there is some special ef-
fort from without TO replenlsh the stores.
5000 refugees arrived on the 2Sth. 1t is i'm
possible for all to find shelter. Many are
hdddlcd in open sheds knee deep in mud
and water.
GIadstone's Regrets,
Mr., Gladstone in accepting the ad-
dress from the Liberal association at OK
ford, said he considered the sending of q
feet into the Dardanelles an act OF war, and
II breach Of neutrality. Thevote of six mill
lions would be taken by Turkey as an en-
couragement to prolong the war.
Ready for Business.
1t is stated that Austria declined to
commit herself to Joint action with Eng
land, unless she was previously assured the
British ministry was safe against the as
saults Of the opposition. which might leave
Austria isolated at later stage.
Why the Delay?
A special from Constantinople said
the delay in signing the conditions of peace
is attributed to the Porte's opposition to the
temporary occupation of Constantinople.
The Cabinets All Distrusting Each Other.
A London special of the 31st to the
Chicago Tribune says: The general feeling
among the best informed public men here
is one of intense anxiety, not only for the
future Of England, but the Continent. 1t is
now acknowledged that Russia has endeav-
ored to obtain a secret understanding with
Turkey relative to the opening OF the Dar-
danelles,

y Winter has opened in earnest in the
Eastern States. Heavy ysnow-storms have
obstructed travel on the railroads, and
in some sections compelled its entire
suspension. Boston's streets are blocked
by drifts from six to ten feet high, and
the highways in parts of Maine and New
Hampshire are impasaable from the
same cause. Stock trains east from
Buffalo are not running, and railroad
business generally thence to the seaboard
suffers considerable interruption.

A somewhat extended observation.

as that first hsbles have 4 hard time.
Parents must have two or three children
before they know what q baby is-how
10 treat it, and acquire patience sufi,
cient to trest 1t properly. The poor
little fellows that have the misfortune to
come along first have 10 educate their
parents to their task, and in doing SO
they get spanked, and shaken, and
abused. Alter a man has had three or
four children, he learns that striking or
whipping a child under two years old is
harbsrism, We know one " p~aternal
head " who struck his first child when
only six weeks old-he actually believing
that the child knew better than to cry,
aud that he stopped crying at that par.
ticular time because he struck him. We
carry certain notions of children and
family government into married life, and
the first child is always the victim OF
these notions. And not alone of these,
fer the parents have not learned self con-
troll, and a baby is whipped quite as
often because the parent is impatient or
angry as because it is vicious or intracta-
