A SAD END.--We publish the death of Geo.
w. Standish this week Seven or eight years
ago he came TO this town and opened what
was known as Standishs Restaurant, one of
the finest of the kind In the country, and
which he conducted with marked success until
he allowed the evil he dispensed to others to
become calamity to himself. 1n the days
Of his prosperity he manifested most kindly.
benevolent nature, and was always ready to
promote any scheme Of enterprise or charity
that met with public favor. But habit brought
him to poverty. While In his most depressed
condition, two or three years ago, either from
resentment or remorse, ne broke of all COM
munication with his relatives, living In Taun-
ton, Mass, and although he rallied sufficient
ly to conduct business In small way In ''sa-
loom at Clayton, he never, 50 far as is known
made any reply to the earnest inquiries of
those relative. For more than year the
letters from home came to him through the
Times Office, and were delivered In person, to
him, but he laid them aside with the remark
that "they are down ON me for beipg In the
rum business" !" and perhaps consigned them
to the stove. Finally, ON Saturday last, his
habits having used up bis vital forces, he died
victim of his own vcndings. --Smy rssa Times

Bold Robbery

oOio teopoery y esterday morning On

with boxes and goods misplaced, drawer, ONT

! between 5000 and $4,000. The store had -
closed on Monday, owing to the deafb of NT-

room was examined as usual, and al nro-

swing ape-like from story to story and not be

scarcely be reached by man from the base Of

It is gratifying to learn that
Painesville, Jefferson, ,Ashtabula and
other towns in that section are or
ganizing in behalf OF the destitute
people of Nebraska. They have
heard the story of want and suffer
ing, and without waiting to be speci
ally solicited, have set about ma
king a systematic, united effort.
This is all very well so far as it goes,
and does credit to the people of the
towns named. But there are other
places, Oberlin, Fremont, Norwalk,
Akron Canton, Warren, Youngstown,
and still others which we need not
name, which have q duty to perform
in this matter. They have all not
only money, but clothing, shoes and
other necessities of life which would
be of infinite value to the suffering
people Of the destitute district
Leader.
We called attention to this matter
in our last, and would again urge
upon our citizens the performance
of duty called for on behalf Of suf-
fering humanity. On the outside
Of this paper will be found q state
ment in regard to the destitution pre-
vsiling, which all should read. La
dies, come ont to the rescue, in a
good cause, and work but half as dill
ligently as in the past crusade, and
you will have the satisfaction of
meeting a tangible reward for your

The reelection of Mr. Charles
Foster as Representative in Congress
from the Sandusky district in Ohio
is an indication of the growing ten
deney among Republicans to repu-
diate their self-constituted leaders
who are involved in the innumera-
bic corrnptions which have signali-
zed the Grant Administration. Mr..
Foster is Republican, but an hon
est one, and it was mainly through
his independence and determination
that the Sanborn contract iniquity
was so thoroughly exposed in Con-
gress. and a check put upon the
swindle by which small but select
Ring expected tn clear several mil
lions of dollars. 1t was Mr.. Foster,
too, who in the proceedings relating
to that case, although new and un-
experienced member, refused 10 be
bullied by Ben Butler, but on the
contrary made that overbearing
member ofthe House so exceedingly
uncomfortable by the pungency of
his remarks that the hero of Fort
Fisher WAS glad to get out of the
controversy in most demoralized
condition. The consequence of his
manly course is that his constituents
have chosen him to represent them
in the Forty-fourth Congress is an
unusually heated canvass, when q
