Three years ago he was comparatively
unknown outside Of his native State.
Now he is figure OF national prominence,
and the fact that he has shown himself
able to carry one OF the great strongholds
OF republicanism has drawn the attention
OF tho national democratic party toward
him as a possible presidential candidate.
And still but little is yet known by the
people concerning Governor Boies. The
fact that he is lawyer and farmer, and
that he was elected as an anti-prohibition
candidate. have been published again and
again, but Governor Boies, the man, Is
hardly know to Iowa, much less to the
United States, and his private life has
been TO a large extent a secluded one.
IL was to Waterloo that Governor Boies
moved from New York nearly twenty-five
years ago. His father gave him a fairly
good education, and though he did not
graduate at college he spent some years
In the academies OF New York and then
went to Buffalo and studied law. He was
a hard student and he was admitted to
the Bar In 1852, at which time he was
twenty-five years old. At this time he
was elected to the New York Legislature.
He served one term, and was then gerry
wandered out OF reelection, and about
ten years later, when he was just forty
years old, he moved to Iowa and settled
at Waterloo.
He bought some land near the town and
opened law Office in the city. He soon
took place at the head OF the bar OF his
county and became one OF the leading
lawyers OF his state. He made money at
the law, knew how to charge good fees
and get them, and he invested his surplus
in Iowa farms. He has now thousands OF
acres OF land in Iowa. and be is one OF the
largest practical farmers OF the country.
He made his farms bring him In an in.

Iowa. about thirty miles from where he
lives, which contains 2640 acres, and every
acre OF 1t is in high state OF cultivation.

GOV. BoIEs' HOME AT WATERLOO.

GOV. BO1ES HOME AT WATERLOO.
Gov. Boies is very conservative and
cautious man. He never risks anything
when he has what he considers a sure
thing, and during the last campaign he
stuck religiously to prohibition as the is
sue he was fighting, and as an opponent
OF Ii and as friend OF the farmers he was
elected. During the campaign his enc
mics tried to defeat him by denouncing
Him as an unjust landlord. They pub
lished pictures of the dwellings In which
his tenants lived on his farms and fac
simile OF the leases which he required
them to take out. The whole. however,
only showed that Boies did his business
on business principles, and the pictures OF
the houses represented very fair tenant
cottages.
Governor Boies' residence is modest In
the extreme for man OF his wealth and
position. II is large one story cottage
on West Seventh street. The cottage
has beautiful grounds about 1t. and there
Is great porch In front OF il. On the
roof there is a sort OF an observatory,
where one can sit and look over the sur
rounding country. The house is we'll
furnished. Fine pictures hang upon the
walls, and the library is good one. You
note from the magazines on the table that
Governor Boies keeps himself up with the
times on literature and politics, and you
find him a cultured man and an agreeable
talker. He is a man of a very oven tenn
perament.
Sixty-four years OF age aud OF medium
height, he is to-day in his physical prime.
His we'll made frame is strong and mus
cular. and his step is elastic. The only
signs OF ago about him appear in his hair,
fa faI ell In IA f,ll lar -
which stand like crows feet at the corners
Of his expressive gray eyes. and in the
lines OF strong resolution which you note
about his mouth.
He is a fine looking man. His forehead
Is high and Indicative OF intellectual
strength. His nose is large and straight.
He Is good conversationalist. and has
much quiet humor about him. He is hard
ly n story teller, nor can he be said to be
what is called Jolly good fellow" His
tastes are rather domestic than social.
and he has spent nearly every Sunday
since his first election at his homein Wa
terioo, Iowa.
Governor Boles has been twice married
and he Is now a widover for the second
time. His frat wife was the daughter OF
DIR. Barber, OF Erie county, N. Y, and Mr..
Boies married her before he left for the
West. A few years after her marriage
her health began to fail, and IL was this
that caused Governor Boies TO move TO
Iowa, where DIR. Barber had moved some
time before. 10 try the effect OF change

governor had one daughter by this wife,
Mrs. j. W. Carson, who Is now widowed

who has family OF fve daughters. Gov
ernor Boles second wife died eome years
ago, and IL is Miss Jessica Boles. his
daughter by his second wife, who now

DEs MONIES, Jan. 13-Gov. Boies was
born near Buffalo, N. Y. His father
had been soldier OF the War OF 1912, and
at It's close had settled In little place
and devoted himself to farming. He
brought the boy up on the farm and made
him work In the summer and sent him to
school In the winter. He implanted In
him love for the soil. and though the boy
became well educated and a noted lawyer
he never severed his connection with
agricultural pursuits and he Is to-day one
OF the largest land owners In his State
and one OF the best farmers In Iowa.

Mems Association Last Night.

Andrew Healy, about 10 years Of age,
was arrested last night by Officer Dyer.
on warrant issued by Charles Thurber,
OF the Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Children, for truancy. Both his
parents have been dead for some time,
and he has been wandering about with no
particular place for a home, obstinately
refusing to 20 to school, continually on
the streets, hence his arrest. When the
officer was taking him, about twenty of
the little incorrigible's friends, all about
his own age, gathered around him with
plying and pleading expression on their
faces. They piled the patrolman with
questions as to what he was going TO do
with him. He replied that he was
going to provide a home for Andy"
as they called him, where he. could
be properly cared for. Two or three of
them pressed up to Andy and slipped
something into his hand, and on being
asked what they were giving him said
that they had handed him a cent. They
all formed doleful looking procession, as
they followed sadly after their friend and
at the station gave him parting hand
shake.
