Laban Stephens, the condemned MUIR
derer, is closely confined in 5xs cell in
our county jail, and is kept under strict
surveillance. Deputy Chas. Jones asked
him the other day if he did not want a
spiritual adviser. Stephens replied that
he did not, and couldn't see what good a
preacher could do in his case anyhow.
He said he might want one furthur along.
He is extremely low in spirit and does
not talk Wacerly Republican.
So it would seem that at last the iron
entered the soul of poor Stephens, and he
is putting aside the air of insolent brava-
do which he displayed while in Jail here.
His talk about preacher reminds US of
his remark to Bill Jones, after the latter
had been on the witness stand in Steph-
ems trial here. BillEwas praying after be
ing returned to Jail, when Stephens sug-
gested that. he could not be too much in
prayer, after swearing lie in Court
If any poor fellow ever needed preach
er, it is Stephens, but we agree with him
that it might not do much good in his
case. We believe that when Stephens
comes little further into the shadow OF
the gallows, he will reveal the fact that
John Gullet-the man who brought the
ak into Gil. Lackey's house-was not en-
.tirely unacquainted with what was going
on, on that dreadful night.

stores that advertise in the Standard were
crowded with customers, and foremost
among them was the grocery and provis-
ion store of d. D. DUNCAN. All hands
were kept busy, and large bills must have
been sold. Some persons complain of hard
times but the amount of groceries and
provisions sold at Dungan's indicates
that people will have something, and that
of the best quality, to eat, let the times
be good oor otherwise. And it pays to
get these articles, which all must have
where you can get the best, and at the
usual prices.

THE BEATTY ORGAN AND PIANO co.
A wonderful Business Reiuvonatod
and Established.

From Frank Lese's Illustrated Newspaper.
The namo OF Daniel Il. Beatty, OF Washing.
ton, New Jersey, is tolerably we'll known to
the majority Of the people Of the United States
in connection with the manufacture and sale
OF musical Instruments. BY liberal and wide
spread advertising, and by dealing direct with
the purchaser, he built up most extensive
business in organs and pianos. II was his
ambition TO erect and own the largest organ
factory In the world, and he succeeded in so
doing. But the hindrances and losses Incl
dent TO disastrous fire In 1881, and tho want
OF adequate capital, combined with lack OF
ment IN his AFFAIRS. Although he made and
sold over seventeen thousand (17000) organs
last year, his embarrassments, which dated
their origin years before, became so serious
that he finally sold his business to n corpora
tion composed OF his creditors II is undor-
stood that this company, with ample capital,
has undertaken to make good, as lar as possi-
BILE, all the obligations OF Mr.. Beatty, giving
preference TO the purchasers OF organs and
TO whom It is shipping daily their instru.
ments. The company IL undor the presidency
OF Mr.. l. W. England, OF New York, his man.
nger being Mr.. W. p. Hadwen; and the gentle-
men composing the directors and stockholders
nre among the best known and most responst-
bio business men In tho country. All now
orders, we are assured, are filled on receipt
with Instruments OF the boat quality; while
arrearages are being manufactured aud
week. on such n basis, supplying o superior
article at n moderate price, free OF agents.
commissions, the new concern ought 10 achieve
q great success.
The Evening critic., 1884-08-25

THE Capital, of this city, which arrogates
to itself, as far as its little self can arr0gate
anything, claim to decency and select re-
spoctability, started out yesterday in
leading editorial crtlcising one Of our most
respected citizens in a coarse, brutal man
ner, the TRADE being only excelled in false
hood by the dull style in which it was
written.
The gentleman who has incurred the dis.
pleasure of the Capital is Mr.. A. NJ. Clapp.
As people nowadays care little about news
aper abuse, it is scarcely worth whilo to
notice it or comment upon ii, but When
such Il man as Mr.. Clapp, man whose
" vbolc lfo has been devoted to tho welfare
of his fellow men; whose career has bsel
characterized by the noblest and most
Christian efforts; whose heart is as tender
aud kindly as that OF perfect won IN, aud
whose record, personally and publicly, is
without even so much az a suspicion Of dis
color is subjected To coarse abuse, iJ Is
about time to demand halt.
People do not live by the consout Of
Others, but exist on their own merit and
A. NJ. Clapp will be honored, respected aud
rovered when these yelping ours of pros.
ttuled press are gone and forgotten, or, If
remembered, only called into recollection tn
be dtspised.
