THE JUDICIAL SCANDAL.
Judge Psy.on psple. the R9mor of tn

Judge PeytOn Denies the Rumor Of the
Sale of the Judgeship.
We waited upon Judge E. B. Peyton
at his office to-day, with view to ascer-
tanning what he had to say regarding
the truth or falsity of the rumors which
have been current during the past two
weeks in relation to the alleged sale of
the Republican candidacy for the judge
ship in the Fifth district The Judge
SAID he had heard the reports and that
his fist impulse was to reply to them
by way of public denial of them over
his own signature. through the newspa-
pers. Upon reflection, however, he ad-
ded that as falsehoOds and roorbacks
were rife in all political campaigns, he
concluded 10 follow the course he had
always adopted in cases of this kind,
and not dignity these attacks upon his
honor by going into print with con-
tradiction of what he pronounces base
SANDER and an unmitigated falsehood.
He authorizes The NEWS to state that
he and Mr. Graves never had any under
standing by which he, Peyton, was to
derive any pecuniary profit by the nomi-
nation of Graves, whom he pronounces.
SO far as his knowledge extends, entirely
innocent of any participation in such a
contract. Judge Peyton brands az false
the report that he sold out his chances,
and withdrew upon the terms set forth
in the rumors which are icing used
by the opposition to the prejudice of
Graves.
We are glad to see Judge Peyton put
himself so squarely on record in this
matter, and shall await, in common
with ali true Republicans, the equally
emphatic denial of Mr.. Graves, who is
expected in our city tomorrow.
The NEWS is animated IN this matter
by an earnest desire to get at the facts in
the case. It has believed from the frs,
that the gentlemen against whom these
charges were preferred were incapable
of such a fragrant violation of honor a.
the confirmation of the rumor would
fasten upon them, and nothing will af
ford as more genuine satisfaction thar
TO see the most sweeping refutation O
what we earnestly trust may prove
throughout, groundiess Islander.

In Trouble.

1t rs with extreme regret that we note
the arrest of Johnnie Taylor, one of the
New York lads brought to Emporia by
Mr.. Brace, for stealing pocket-book
containg $50 in gold from his benefac.
tor, Mr.. Mapes, of Coal creek. After the
boy took the money he went to Flor.
ence, where he spent portion OF it
and at the time of his apprehension
by Constable johnson had still 500 in
his possession, and revolver which Inc
had purchased. Johnnie was first taken
by Mr.. G. w. Frederick, of this city
and after leaving him lived with several
farmers in Lyon county. He is bright
likely looking lad, and it is matter
which cannot be sufficiently deplored
that at his early age he should have
yielded TO a sin the consequences o
which will be likely TO color all his flu
ture life. We trust that in view of hi.
tender years and his friendIess condi
ton all possible clemency will be exer
cised toward him, to the end that he may
not become, at the very Threshold o
life, a confirmed criminal.

This city, once the rival of Emporia,

situated on the hills east of Badger

The site Is now marked by few cellars
and one or two dilapidated concrete
houses. Two of the old houses have
been kept in repair and are occupied.
The old settlers, with one or two excep-
tions, have died or moved away. The

no forest left. The bottoms along Badg.

Maine.

The election in Maine is closer than was
at first supposed. Paisted, the Democratic
and Greenback candidate for Governor, will
have plurality of from one to two hundred
votes, when the official returns are declared.
Besides these about 900 votes were thrown
out on account of irregularities in the print
ing of Plaisted's name. Under the former
laws of the State it required majority over
all the other candidates to elect. This is no
longer the case. At the recent election an
amendment to the Constitution was adopted
by which the candidate having the highest
number of votes is declared elected. The
question was raised as to whether the amend
ment affected the election at which it was
voted on, or the next election Afterwards
The present Governor holds over until next
January, and in the meantime must declare
the result the election just held 1t is not
probable that the Republicans will resist the
will of the people, declared in their vote for
Plaisted but if this should be done the matter
will be a question for the decision of the SUI
preme Court.
At any rate the election is a crushing de.
feat to the Republicans in one of their strong
holds. II shows that the people of the coun-
try desire to return to constitutional methods
of government, and it is the beginning of the
end of the rule of force and fraud.

THE WHEAT CROP.

THE WHEAT CROP.
The Deer Creek Farmers Club met last Satlr-
day, at the residence of Mr.. John Moores, Big
Woods. The customary inspection of the prem
ises was made by q committee, consisting of
.Messrs Archer, Rogers and II. A. Hays. They re-
ported through Mr.. Archer, saying that they con-
sdered Mr.. Moores one of the most practical far
mcrs In the whole country, since no had made
farming success within his own resources, His
property showed wonderful Improvement since it
came into his possession thirteen years ago. They
had noticed field of % acres, from which IL to
tons of hay had been cut, and Mr. Moores cattle
show that IL Is good pasture now. A field of corn
belonging to Mr.. Moores came In for great deal
of praise. The chairman of tho committee said 1t
was the best he had ever seen. Many of the stalks
wore ID feet tall, with two ears to q stalk While
standing 1t was like an impenetrable forest, the
blades touching across the rows. The corn was
drilled In rows feet apart, and IL was thinned
regularly, one stalk to every foot. The land had
beer manfred two years ahead. and was in corn
last year also. 1t was estimated that the yield on
greater portion of the field would be 20 barrels
to the acre. Mr.. Moores has nice lot of Essex
pigs, and some fine hogs one year old. Mr.
MOores Barbarian colt was also admired by the
club The committee found everything in order
and everything in place, and things were seen as
they are every day.
The question for discussion was: variety and
quantity Of wheat sown per acre time of sowing,
fertilizers used and results of last years CROP"
Mr.. Moores had plowed oat and wheat stubble
the latter part of July and narrowed occasionally.
A few days before sowing he put on drag. On the
18th Of September he commenced drilling In Lam
