VIM. Hartwick, who lives near St. Ansgar,
Iowa, lost his youngest child on Sunday after
noon, Aug. 24th. The parents were out in tho
field. The little fellow was playing in front of
the house, and an older brother was inside.
The Enterprise says: "a man came by and the
dogs ran out at him; he drew a revolver and
shot at them, and, in all probability, the bullet
intended for the dog finished life's journey
for the little boy who was sitting on the door
step. The Oldest boy came out of the house
and seeing his little brother lying there ron to
the field and told his parents. The boys des-
criptiOn of the man who did the shooting is
too meagre to accurately tell who it was, or
to even trace him out, but that he deserves
punishment none will deny"
In return, however, we would ask the
TRANSCRIPT man if Page should be the nOmi-
| nee of the Republican judicial convention
Or if that convention should coalesce with the
''non-partisans'' in the nomination of H. r.
Wells democrat, will the TRANSCRIPT sup
port him? We want you on record now. Don't
evade.-FTeebO1n County Standard.
Dear Williams, we can not tell a lie; and we
do not wish to evade, as did you. No matter
| how badly we should feel to be obliged to
oppose our old friend S. Page, still to do SO,
! first, last and all the time, is a high public
duty which we are called upon to perform.
Page could not receive our support as the
candidate of the Republicans or of any other
party on earth. Had Mr.. H. r. Wells been
! the non-partisan nominee, endorsed by the
Republicans, we could have supported him
very cheerfullv. The fact that he is a Demo-
crat has nothing to do with the case. He is a
man of brains, fine legal ability, and would
have adorned the judicial Office. Is it not
about time you were answering our question?
! The lazy, whisky-soaked loafer and his
boon companion and friend, the lond.mouthed
demagogue, are still holding meetings and
passing resolutions. The honest sober and
industrious workingman can find plenty of
| work, and he is at work, making comfOrta-
drunken agitator and the loud-mouthed dem
agogue have never been able to do. The day
is fast approaching when those two sores
upon the public polite, the lazy, rum-soakcd
loafer and the Ioud-mouthed demagogue, will
be spurned by all hsnest men, and that time
cannot come any too soon. There is more
credit due, and more honor belongs to the
viding his wife and children with shoes and
stockings, and clothes and food. and making
his little homs no matter tie how humble it may

enthusiast, the miserable, contemplate. para
