ably saved the life of one of the sergeants of

cut back to the camp just as Company was
ready to commence its volley firing. The
commands "aim was given just as the SER
geant stepped from the woods bordering the
range and proceeded on in the rear Of the
silhouette, little dreaming Of his danger. For
ty men had their guns aimed on the spot, and
had not the commanding Office esped the SER
geant as he passed in the rear, he certainly
would have been killed.

TO BATTLE HENDERSON
Louis Boies the Favorite Candidate
of Dubuque District Democrats.

WATERLOO, IOWA.-Louis Boies, eldest
son of former Governor Boies, and who will
probably be the democratic candidate for con-
gress in the third district In opposition to
Speaker David B. Henderson. is fl years Of
age. He was born in Erie county, New York,
and came to Iowa with his parents when but
child. He is graduate of Cornell college,
at Mount Vernon, in this state, where Secre-
tary Shaw graduated. Mr. Boies graduated in
1881, and was admitted to the bar in Iowa in
1883. He has practiced law here since that
date He is recognized as the leader of the
bar in northern Iowa
Whether Mr.. Boie5 will accept the nomina-
ton not depends entirely on the action OF
the state convention at Des Moines on Sept.
8. If 1t declares for an Endorsement Of the
Kansas City platform, it can be put down for
certa inty that the democrats OF this district
will have to look for another candidate. If,
on the other hand, the state platform confines
it's utterances to the and live issues or
the tariff and the trusts, there is little doubt
that the congressional convention which IS
called for Dubuque on Sept. II will make Mr..
Boies It's unanimous nominee
Democrats who argue there is more than
good chance to defeat Henderson assert that
the figures in the last eight years are no crl-
teron to his strength for the reason that the
candidates against him could not command
either the full democratic vote or even those
who were opposed to Henderson.
Heretofore the opposition to Henderson en-
anated from Dubuque and did not have sup
port except of the party partlzans IN the ols
trict outside. The opposition this time Is
| coming from the outside and the movement
was we'll launched before it was broached IN
Dubuque Those who are fostering Boies
campaign are not asking for an old-time ma
jority in that county. They say II they can
be assured OF 1850 majority in Dubuque
with the opposition there is to Henderson II
| his own party outside, they can win. They
think that 5000 in that county would give
| them an absolute "cinch.'
There are nine counties in the third DIS
| trict Blackhawk, Buchanan, Delaware

and Wright. OF these all are republican ex
