1 L
duced TO again make the race for county
Judge, which ONCE he has so ably and sat.
isfactorily filled for the last -four years,
could he not be prevailed upon to become
candidate for the lower house of the H.
lmois general assembly, from this county?
TuR BULLETIN hopes that sufficient
pressure may be brought to bear upon the
Judge 10 induce him to come out. He is a
learned, an honorable gentleman, who en-
Joys the esteem of all the good people of
this senatorial district who know
him, and who would reflect much
credit upon himself and his
constituents THE BULLETIN makes this
suggestion entirely upon its own response
blity, without having consulted thejudges
feelings in the matter, but it has reason to
believe that the majority of the voters of
the district, irrespective Of party, would be

| the race
The Evening Gazette, Of Sterling, Iii
under date Of June Both, gives the follow
ing account Of the drowning of son If
Mr.. Hoofstitler, the noted temperance
orator This afternoon about o'clock
dozen boys, ranging in age from ten to
thirteen years, were in swimming at what
is known as Rice's Point, when tragical
accident happened, 1t seems that all the
boys but one, John Ii. Hoolsttler, could
SWIM and they rowed few rods into the
stream in skiH. The boys say they pro
tested strongly against his jumping from the
boat, but after the rest had all dived from
il, he said he could swim ashore, and
plunged IN. He soon began to sink. One
of the boys SAID he went to him and offered
assistance, but he did not accept it. He
soon sank from sight. The boys gave the
alarm and crowd speedily gathered The
river has been dragged and hooks have
been used ever since in search of his body,
but up to this hour A 40 p. m, the search
has been unavaiing. John was bright,
intelligent lad, who will be remembered by
Sterling people as one who took part in
the different public exercises of the Second
ward school. He was about twelve years
of age and the oldest son of his parents,
whose grief at the untimely death of their
boy is without comfort. Every effort has
been used by Mr.. Hooistitler to find the
body. Last night cannon was fired at
regular intervals. At this hour, 5 p. m,
June 80, all efforts have proved unvailing,'
In note to Rev. George, dated July Cd,
Mr., Hoofstiter says that no tidings of the
boy had then been received.
The brewers Of Iowa who have worked
for years IN building up their business, and
have done much to promote the growth of
the states material Interests, now find their
business prospects ruined and their property
deprecated in value by the adoption Of
the new liquor law. These men are good
and thrifty citizens; the law, when they
went into the business of brewing, virtually
said TO them that their interests should be
protected, and that they should have the
same rights as other citizens. Now, after
they have toiled for years and have put all
their money and all their energy in one
field Of enterprise, they find the law sud
denly turn upon them and betray them,
and their property despolled about as ef
fccullly as if confiscated in some bar.
barous country where the only law il the
law Of force. Any effort, dictated by rea
son, right and charity, TO redeem the fallen
in any vice, has and deserves the hearty
support Of all good people, but reckless
war upon any class Of citizens and wanton
coniiscation of the results Of many years Of
labor, by a majority (which chooses to try
some Mathematical experiment, is nothing
short Of barbarian. There arc in Iowa
many thousands Of people who choose 10
| drink beer and they have been buying it Of
the brewers for years, when all at once,
class OF people quite outside either the
| brewers or their customers say to them,
I'VE are stronger than you; we propose to
dictate to you what you shall drink and
what you shall sell. 1t il true you do not
compel US to either buy beer or drink beer,
but We propose TO dictate to you, because
we are strong enough to do it," And 50 a
vote is taken and the tyranny is exercised.
