A portly personification of Uncle Sam is what might best describe the personal appearance of Hon. J. D. Yeomans of Sioux City, Senator from Woodbury county. He is a Democrat and was elected Senator in 1891, so this session he is a holdover. He was born in New York in 1845, came to Iowa in 1887, settling at Sioux City and taking up farming as a regular occupation, but more as a pastime than anything else as he is pretty well fixed so far as worldly goods are concern. He is a married man. Not much of a speaker on the floor, he is a man of great energy and loses no time in pushing his measures forward and securing their passage. He served as chairman of railway committee two years ago and was a member of the special World's Fair committee.
