curious scar on one of his fingers, which
was disiigured by crushing in cog wheel.
A critical examination of this finger by
the physician who dressed the wound
compels the doctor to say, that it is the
finger of Willis Peyton.
While this examination was being
made, the claimant said doctor. do
you remember how sick | was made by
the sight OF that finger, while you and
mother we're dressing it one day9 And
do you reeollect how | came to you one
day to know what would take the infiam-
alton out of my arm, where / was
tattooed by Jim Bayne, the sailor p"
The old doctor remembered well how
sore Willis Peyton's arm was, and the
circumstance of his fainting once from
the dressings of the sore finger. Another
evidence that the claimant is the Simon.
pure Willis Peyton is that he singles out
men who do not know him, calling them
by name and reminding them of Incl.
dents of former acquaintance that
leave no doubt in their minds as to his
identity.
And the Widow Peyton " sits in the
court room, by times looking at the
claimant of her bed and board and cry
ing as witness after witness avows his
belief that the strange man is Willis
Peyton. She has told her friends that if
he really is Peyton, he may have the
farm, stock and everything bat herself
Sometimes during passages of the trial
he implores her to look again and see if
she cannot recognize one feature and ac-
knowledge him as her husband, but she
refuses, and his earnest appealing face
becomes clouded by despair.
He says that if the suit terminates in his
favor he will only ask living off the
farm, and will never intrude upon his
wife and children unless they voluntarily
recognize him.-S, Louis Republican.

Spurgeon, writing of Prayer" says
I" Let US not employ prayer with a view
to our own work alone, for narrow-mind-
ed supplicants cannot be acceptable with
God. Some prayers remind me of the
story of the Virginia planter, who own
ed slave in partnership with one of his
neighbors, and, being pious man, was
accustomed to wind up his prayers by
saying: o Lord in thine infinite mercy
and goodness, bless my half of Pompey.'
When Wesleyans pray fer Methodism,
and Baptists for their own congregations,
and Presbyterisns for their favorite con-
fraternity, would urge them to get a
little further than Bless my half of
Pompey."

Under our constitution the governor
can do little of himself and nothing
in the way of furnishing the relief
asked for by several new counties on
the border. There is such a chance
for abuse of the means or aid to be
voted, SO many standing ready to
speculate and dead beat it, that we
had hoped that the counties which are

get along until the regular session. at
which time statistical returns and re.
ports would have shown TO n certainty
the duty of The legislature in the
premises. There Will harG!y be much
suffering before cold weather sets in
and nearly every county could have
taken care of their destitute until that
time. We hope the governors sug-
gesion that the county commissioners
prepare actual statistics of the amount
necessary TO carry the destitute over

Our State Ticket.

Again has the dominant party OF
Kansas, in convention assembled,
named the men of its choice 10 carry
out its principles and to administer
the state government by the rules OF
faith enumerated in its platform. As
10 the men who composed that con-
vention, for ability, integrity and cx,
pcricncc, they were in the highest de-
gree representatives Of the old free
dom loving party, being chosen from
the very best in the state. lntclli-
gently and honorably did they dis
charge the duties assigned them. The
rule of faith by which they expected
the party 10 be guided and upon which
their nominees are expected 10 stand
before the people will be found else
where and speaks, in no uncertain
terms. for itself Good and capable
men, most of them old and tried citi-
zens, were named for the positions of
trust and responsibility.
Thos. A. Osborn, the present en-
cumbent, in difference TO the rule
heretofore observed aud we believe in
accordance with the will of large
msjority OF the people Of our young
commonwealth. was re-nominated for
governor. AS most of the readers of
the EAGLE are aware. no doubt, we
favored his nomination as between
: the three candidates. His official rec
ord in tie past two wears is among the
fairest and is unimpeachablc. He has
done more for the settlers upon lands
in dispute between bona fidc settlers
and railroad companies, than all other
executives of this state put together.
His messages have contained more
good sound sense and have resulted in
better legislation than those Of all
other governors that have preceded
him in this state. Many arguments
might be introduced in his favor that
could not have been used for either of
the otier candidates. Prudent aud
industrious he has made no mistakes
worthy the name and he will be tri-
umphantly endorsed by the people in
November for a second term. His
nomination was encompassed only by
the most honorable and gallant strug-
gle and the disappointed and chagrin-
ned gentlemen who withdrew from
the convention did themselves no
credit by their hasty and childish ac- [
tion.

tenant Governor, is q Neosho county

Our Congressman.

The Arkansas valley is to have a
congressman. Last winter when the
writer was fighting for Southwest
ern congressional district, and, with
his senate bill was gaining consid-
Grafton only inch by inch and
vote by vote. we looked forward to
the time when the people of this valley
might have man in the national leg
islaturc to look after her varied and
important interests. The full frution
Of that hope comes quick in the nomi-
nation OF w. H. Brown. Of Hutchinson.
at Emporia. on last Friday. AS we
watched the proceedings of that body.
composed of sixty mon and witnessed
the result of their labors, there was a
feeling of satisfaction and n realization
that labor for the public does not al
ways go unrcwarded. True. if il had
been left to us to nominate. some citi-
zen of Wichita. the metropolis of the
valley. would have been named. But
the actual fact that this great valley.
whose Importance is little understood
by the balance of the state. the future
of which can hardly be guessed at bv
her own citizens. and great section
that had been entirely ignored by the
convention at Topeka in making up
the state ticket, we felt gratified in
deed. when, amid the din confusion
and hurrahs it was announced that
Judge Brown had received the rcquir-
ed number of votes to constitute him
the republican candidate for congress
from the third district.
Judge Browns qualifications, ability
and integrity were heretofore canvassed
and endorsed in these columns, two or
three months since, and before he had
become formal candidate. What we
said then we reitcrate now. lie is hon
est. he is capable, which qualities have
won for him the confidence and en-
dorsement of the people of the South
west whose delegates at Emporia stood
almost solid for his nomination.
Judge Brown. is the present Judge of
the 9th judicial district. After grad
uating he came to Lawrence where his
father now resides aud where we frs,
became acquainted with him in 1868
We believe he frs; entered the prac-
ticc of law at Emporia where he has
many warm friends. He afterwards
moved to Cottonwood Falls. and was
elected to his present position. Obey
ing the injunction Of Horace Greeley
and following the dictation Of his own
sound judgement he kept going west
until he reached Hutchinson, his pre-
sent home from which he will be sent
back east to our country's capital by
ten or twelve thousand majority.
