cRuEL. nEsHRTlON.

Last Thursday little past noon
Charley Johnson, n boy who was
herdins cows in the southeast part
of town, was attracted by the cries
of an infant and upon investigation
discovered "A baby girl, only few
hours old, under the hedge across
the road from the residence of John
Long. 1t was lying on the ground
without rag or stitch of clothing
to shield it from the elements lin
precisely the condition in which il
came into the world.
The little waif was wrapped up in
a blanket and brought to the city,
where DIR. Baxter. with the assist
ance of kind and sympathetic
friends, soon had the little one
washed and dressed. 1t was then
turned over to Mrs. Shackle, some
infant food procured, of which the
little lady partook ravenously, and
soon thereafter was sleeping sound
Is. The next day the baby was
turned over to Mrs. Medsker, and at
las accounts was doing nicely. II
is healthy and strong and will
weigh eight or nine pounds.
The condition of the baby when
found was simply horrible in the
extreme. Dirt, leaves and sticks
had dried to it's skin, while the sun
had blistered il. In addition to this
it's neck was almost encircled with
a necklace of fly-blows as thick al
most as the index finger, while it's
left nostril was sealed up as tight
as wax with the same lare9.
Mayor Wiswell and Marshal Aitch-
ison went to work and soon had ev-
idence that pointed Enthusiastically
to the location of the mother of the
infant and on Saturday afternoon
these two gentlemen in company
with DIR. Huffman, county physi-
clan, and L. N. Dillman, drove out
to John Long to interview woman
who was staying there named Mary
Padgett. When confronted by her
accusers, she acknowledged her
guilt, but said no one about the
place knew anything of 1t and she
alone was responsible. She said
she had given birth to the childout
in the grove, which was easily veri'
fed. and had then carried II down
and placed II under the hedge. This
occurred about 10 o'clock Wednes-
day night and the baby lay there
until afternoon on Thursday, ne
above indicated.
A warrant was sworn out and the
Padpett woman arrested and placed
in jail where she now awaits her
preliminary examination which will
occur In a few days. We have been
unable 10 learn anything about the
woman except that she came here
from Green county. Missouri on
the sth of September. She claims
that her husband, who is in the In

than there was at Camp Logan dur
ing the entire week. Does this sol
der" really know what gambling isr
Cane throwing, wheels of fortune,
side shows, knife racks and such
things as are permitted by the asso-
citation is not gambling, but poker
and craps and similar games, which
are never tolerated at Camp Logan,
but are INDUCED in at Baxter every
day is gambling. Why does this
correspondent point his guns at the
reunion-past and gone, when there
is so much game near at hand! This
wear il cost the association more
than two thousand dollars to enter
tain the soldiers and their friends
and to conduct one of the grandest
reunions ever held on earth. This
writcr-we know not and care not
who he Essays a sufficient amount
of money could be raised without
selling any privileges to meet this
enormous expense. He does not
say how. He may have some better
plan to suggest and If so we have
no doubt the directors would be
pleased to hear il. But is II not
good sense to believe that a system
which has brought these reunions
from nothing to the largest held
anywhere-a system which has
brought an increase in ate adance,
interest and good feeling every
year. is "a good one: And now in
conclusion, we want to say to "A
Soldier" the editor of the Republi-
can and to the citizens of Baxter
Springs: If this reunion is such a
hideous monster, and is working
such dire disaster to Baxter, and Is
40 seriously wrecking her morals,
say so, and we can find a hundred
towns in Kansas that will gladly
take the horrible thing off of your
hands. Galena, for instance, a
model of morality, willtake chances
on the demon. But If the sentiment
expressed by "A Soldier" and en-
dorsed by the Baxter Republican,
not that of the citizens of Baxter,
then say so by sitting down on
such blinded cranks in Language
that the outside world may under
stand. Let them know that while
may be in good taste for those who
come to Baxter TO attend these reun'
ions 70 complain, 1t comes with
mighty poor grace from Baxterites
who are benefited more than all
others by these gatherings. Hun
dreds like ourself took their fami'
lies there and remained i'll camp
during the week. We found no'ii-
ing TO injure our wives and chill
dren so long Gs we remained in
the camp, which was satisfactorily
managed by the officers of the AS
ISOLATION. We were fully satisfied
with it's conduct, but if our pres.
ence and that of the officers and
stockholders of the association has
tendency to corrupt the morals OF
Baxter, we feel assured that we can
find a place to meet where the citi
zens are less susceptible to such
awful influences and where colleges
are builded on "a foundation that
can withstand even an old soldiers
reunion.-Galena Republican.

Out of the Way For Him.

St. Louis Globe Democrat.
"There was formerly a very de-
Vout minister of the Methodist
church in Nebraska of the name
of Leonard" said G. l.. Oglesby, of
Omaha, at the Lindell. 1.-THE good
man had one defect-he was very
Observation-Disclosures this failing
placed him in some very absurd
positions. The regular chaplain
was absent at a banquet of the
Grand Army Of the Republic at
one time, and Rev. Leonard was
requested to open the banquet by
the saying Of grace, a custom that
prevailed with that post. The
minister had never Officiated
in such a capacity, and was
a little at a loss to deter
mine upon the proper way to con-
duct the part assigned him. This
brought on fit of absent-minded-
ness, and instead Of the usual
blessing he launched into a long
and fervent prayer, arising from
his seat and entreating the forgiv-
ness of the Lord for the dying sim
ners. When he had finished he
said, "The stewards will take up
the regular collection while the
congregation sings the old ia
miliar hymn, "Nearer, My God,
toThee." Then he realized where
he was, and sat down greatly en-
barrassed. The joke was appreciat-
ed and two men passed their hats
down the line, realizing a very
neat sum, which was given to the
minister"

THE MAN IN THE CASE
Must Not Pernre Himself to Save
the Woman.

the Woman.
From the New York Sun.
Judge McAdam, Of the superior
court, gave his views on the duty
of correspondents, yesterday, in
granting an absolute divorce to
Charles INLAND, a painter. Uhl.
and's mother-In-law and brother.
in-law testified against his wife
and in opposition to the ,co-respon'
dent, George Freeman, who denied
intimacy with her. Judge Nc
Adam said he presumed that Free
man, although guilty, thought he
was performing necessary duty
in testifying.
"a prevalent notion has gone
aboard that a man ineuipated with
a woman has her honor in his
keeping, and is bound to defend
it, even to the extent Of perjury.
No such rule has ever found its
way into morals of law, and such
pretext will not be tolerated for a
moment as a defense to perjury.
People who hold to such senti-
ment are sadly in need of reforma-
ton. Chivalry and perjury are not
convertible terms.
at is far better that this be dis
timely understood that men may
be deferred from liasons, rather
than have them believe that such
things are safe, and they may by
perjury crush truth or hide guilt.
When such matters get into the
courts the public may depend upon
it that the evidence will be sifted
by experienced hands and the
truth reached, however difficult the
ordeal may de.
"If a correspondent declines to
answer he may perhaps be regard
ed by some as cowardly or unjust.
If he answers straight out he may
be charged with appearing proud
of his shame. But these are risks
which libertines must be expected
to brave. They owe their origin to
the original sin, which is the thing
to be avoided. Keep away from it..
"The position of the guilty when
exposed under the crucial test Of
judicial examination is, indeed, an
unhappy one. The penalty is
heavy. The law has not endeavor-
ed to make it pleasant, for it never
encourages wrong-doing, and has
refrained from providing anything
that makes it safe. Indeed, it is
difficult to suggest any honorable
way out of dishonorable diem
ma after you are in. With this
admOnitiOn, which ought not to be
without it's lesson, the court must
award the plaintiff the relief to
which the law entities him."

An innovation as regards sleeves
is to loop the large puff in butterfly
fashion in the center, pulling it
very close and small so as to show
the rounded portion of the arm yet
leave the sleeve wide and broad on
either side. Fancy pins and brooch
es are used to loop the short sleeves
up in butterfly fashion, although
the looping has to be done with
thread before the brooch is fastened
on.

CHINESE BANDITS
Make a Daring Attack Upon the
EmperoE's Escort.

Shanghai Letter in n Y. Herald.
Brigandage prevails in China to
a greater extent than any country
in the world, and js by no means
confined to the mare sparsely pop
ulated regions, but is practiced in
the vicinity of the largest cities.
Travelling in the naighborhOOd of
Pekin itself has in late years grown
quite dangerous from this cause
that is, for natives, for curiously
enough the armed gangs of bandits
whom | have myself met in the
wilds of Mongolia, near the Amoor,
without suffering any Baolestation,
seldom attack the European way
farer.
The daring of these pigtailed
knights Of the road, even at this
late date, would put their con-
freres Of Aibina or Sicily to blush,
and no exploit of any European
bandit can hope to vie with the fol-
lowing audaciOus coup, by gang
of desperadOes who have long in
tested the low range of hill lying to
the west of Pekin.
Recently the Emperor and his
court, attended by retinue num-
bering many thousands of men
and women, cOurtiers and soldiers.
were returning from the palace by
the large lake in the park of Yuen
Ming Yuen, distant only eight
miles from the walls of the
capital, to the winter palace inside
the "Forbidden City," when in the
night the tail end OF this vast i'm
perial procession was suddenly cut
off by we'll organized gang of
bandits.
The main part Of the procession
passed on in blissful ignorance Of
the exciting episodes behind.
Little or no resistance was made,
the eunuchs and ordinary attend
ants being either too terrified by
the blOodthirsty appearance of the
brigands, or, what is quite as like
ly, were too good friends with
them to fight, and a number Of
carts and filters containing the
paraphernalia of the court, furs,
vessels, ornaments, embroideries,
etc, as we'll as over 4,00G ounces of
silver in specie were carried of by
the robbers, who also captured
several eunuChs, one or two of
whom are said to be favorites of
the Emperor. Booty and prisoners
were safely conveyed to the retreats
of the daring marauders in the
neighbOring hills.
1t was only next morning that
the news Of this outrage reached
the city, when Immediately great
preparations for capturing the bri.
gands were set on foot, 1900 soldiers
being dispatched to hunt them
down. Great efforts were made to
keep the affair from the ears of the
Emperor, as we'll as from the for
eign residents of Picking, and it is
very unlikely that the former will
ever hear of it. The robbers, how
ever, are likely to be shown that
they have gone too far this time,
and they are certain to be exter-
minated, so great is the commotion
their extraordinarily daring exploit
has caused.
