| not such a one as would crown his fam

this early training OF SELF help that
gave the subject OF our sketch his i'm
peLuS toward his successful business
career. He received his education in
the public schools of MarengC, the Iowa
Wesleyan University at at. Pleasant,
and the State University, completing
the junior year III the latter. His imam
cial circumstances prevented the com
pletiOn OF the course which he hoped to
resume. but in 1871 he accompanied his
father to OttumWa, where, Ia 1874, he
found employment with the wholesale
hardware firm Of Geo. HaW u Co. He
filled several positions successfully,
finally graduating from the travelling
salesmen's department in 1879 to the
degree of junior partner in that firm.
What success MIR. Simmons has at
tanned has been by the hardest kind of
work. He is self made and he and his
friends have right to glory in the
manufacture. He has always been
identified with all interests of public
nature, and has been liberal in his
charities and benevolences. His Re
publicanism has always been Xxx,

He will enthuse readily over a good
Oook, good sermon, good music,a good
horse or good exhibition of the great
American game. He is, in short,a hus-
tier, shTewd, practical business man
with active brain and big heart, full
of genuine sympathy. He has lovely
home in this city and the daughter of
W. b. Bonnifeld, the veteran banker,
is its center of attraction, although that
is disputed sometimes by young scion
six months old called Kenneth Grant
Simmons. MIR. Simmons is ably quail
flied in every particular to represent
this district.

other delegate, was born and grew to
manhood in the state of Indiana. In
the fall Of 1853 he went into the army
