While his death had been anticipated for a few days by his immediate family and a few friends, the fact thnt he waa critically ill was not known generally and the news of his death came as a great shock to the community at large. Mr. Wright had for several years been a sufferer from a complication of kidney troubles, but It was not until the latter part of November that his condition be came alarming. At that time he suffered a severe attack and was confined to his bed. Two days ago hla condition became critical, and Wednesday morning he sank nto seml-consclousness and It waa evi dent that the end waa not far q(T. Mr. Wright was 73 years of age on De cember S.

All the members of the fam ily were at the beside when the end came. Funeral services will be held 8unday aft ernoon at 3 o'clock at the family resi dence, 130 South Sixth street, conducted by Rev. Marcus McClure, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and burial will be In Walnut Hill cemetery. Sketch of His Career. George Franklin Wright was born In Warren, Washington county, Vermont, on December 6, 1833, and was a son of the late Franklin Asher Wright, whp died In. this city on October 5, 1878. Both of his parents were of English-Scotch ancestry. He spent his boyhood on a farm. At the age of 17 he began his academic education at West Randolph. Vt under the tutorage of the late Hon. Austin Adams of Dubuque, who waa twice chief justleu of the state. In' the spring of 1855, following Ills majority, he came to Iowa and settled In Keosauqua, Van Buren county,1 where he commenced the study of law with the firm of Wright, Knapp & Caldwell, composed of ex-United States Senator George C. Wright of Des Moines, the late-' lion. Joseph C. Knapp of Keosauqua, wl)o was his uncle, and ex Judge Henry C. paldwell. He was ad mitted to the Van Buren county bar In 1867. The same year he was admitted to partnership with his uncle, Judge Knapp, and Judge Caldwell, under the firm name of Knapp, Caldwell St Wright, and so con tinued until Judge Caldwell was called to the United States bench at Little Rock, Ark. Early In 1861 Mr. Wright, In response to President Lincoln's call for volunteers, en listed, and In conjunction with Captain J. M. Tuttle, afterward general, raised a company of volunteers Mn. Van Buren county, pf which he was elected first lieu tenant, receiving his commission from the hands of Governor Kirkwood, known as Iowa's "war governor." The company be came a part of the Second regiment of Iowa volunteers. Immediately before this. Judge Caldwell having enlisted, the business of the firm demanded Mr. Wright's return to Keosau qua. He Immediately raised a company of militia, was elected captain, and ten dered the' services of the company to Gov ernor Kirkwood for the protection of the Iowa border In Van Buren county. The offer was accepted, and the organization was kept intact, being frequently called to the border and Into the state of Missouri, until tha rebels were driven out of that state, when moat of the company enlisted In and became a part of tha Fifteenth regi ment of Iowa volunteers. On October 28, 1S63. he was married In tha city ot Chicago to Ellen E. Brooks of Northfield. Vt., daughter of the late Joslah Prentice Brooks. In the spring of 1868 Mr. Wright moved with his family to Council Bluffs and formed a law partnership with the late Judge Caleb Baldwin, and the Arm at once became one of the leading law Arms of the state. This law connection continued up to the time when Judge Baldwin was ap pointed by President Grant as one of the Judges of the court of commissioners of Alabama claims, requiring his residence In Washington, when the firm waa dis solved. Start of Present Firm. Mr. Wright then associated himself with Hon. Amos J. Rising and John N. Baldwin. After several years Judge Rising retired from the firm and removed to. Colorado and the firm became and has since remained Wright & Baldwin. While always a staunch republican and for many years a recognized leader In tho party In Iowa, Mr. Wright never sought cilice, although he served as state senator from this district lu the sixteenth, seven teenth, eighteenth and nineteenth general assemblies. For a number of years up to his death Mr. Wright held the position of United States commissioner. Soon after taking up his residence In Council Bluffs he. began to engage In actle business affairs outside of his pro fession, and in 1670 and immediately fol lowing he, v'th his associates, organised companies and constructed and put In suc cessful operation plans fur the manufacture and supply of coul illuminating gaa In the cities of Council Bluffs, Ottumwa, Mount Pleasant, Cedar Rapids and Sioux City, in Iowa, and lu the cities ot Elgin and Evans ton, In IUluola, He was elected president ot the Council Bluffs company, which posi tion he held for over twenty years. In lSdi he. with Judge Baldwin and associ ates, constructed and operated tha Council Bluff street railway hue, tb first street railway In Council Bluffs, and was prvsi dtmt of the company until it passed into the control of the Union Pacific. . Jn lte, In connection wlin his associates, hi organized the Omaha at Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge company, procured from congress a franchise for a combined railway and wagon bridge across the Mis souri rlvef between Council Bluff and Omaha, anil during the next two years the Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge company erected tha present rail way bridge connecting the two cities and constructed and put In succesful operation the first eleclrlo railway line In the states of loaa and Nebraska.

COIKCILMES TO DISCI SS LIGHT People Maklnst Snmerons Complaints Oter Conditions. , Mayor Macrae yesterday Issued a call for a special meeting of the city council for Friday night to discuss the "lighting situation and ascertain If possible to whom blame should b attached for the poor service recently. While It Is generally understood that the lack of efectrlc lighting at night Is due to the fact that the com pany In Omaha has met with several acci dents to Its machinery and la suffering from a scarcity of fuel, the councilman, nevertheless, think It best to talk the mat ter over, as so many complaints are reg istered every day about the lack of street lighting. The truth of the matter 1 Mayor Mac rae' life ha been made a burden to him the last few day by complaints from In dignant taxpayers, who want to know what, they are paying taxes for, If they cannot get street lights. For some time past every evening between 6:30 and 6 o'clock the electric lights all over town go out and remain out for a short time, and then again.

(From a Staff Correspondent ) DES MOINES, Dec. IS. 8peclal.)-Chem-Ical analyses made by the Iowa Agricul tural college at Ames and exhibited today at th rooms of the department of agricul ture disclose the fact that stock foods sold In Iowa are adulterated wholesale and that condlmental stock foods advertised as hav ing valuable medtc'.nnl qualities are prac- Ically worthless. The matter Is to be taken up by the directors of the depart ment of agriculture, now In session here, and It Is understood that sensational dis closures as to the methods practiced" In adulterating stock foods will be made at the meeting tomorrow. A bill has been drawn and the legislature 'will be asked to enact It into law providing for an inspec tion of theae foods by state authority. Oat husks, corn cob chaff, corn hull and tree bark are the Ingredients most com monly used to adulterate the foods. , A gnok of bran Is on exhibit at the rooms of the department today which was pur chased by the Agricultural college. The sack to about three-fourths of Its depth Is filled with bran and the remainder of the sack I filled with (weepings from the floor of the mill and Is mostly corn cob chaff and oats chaff. The top Is filled with the worthies material for the reason that the farmer Is expected to dump It Into his bin and the bran would then be on top. Many feed mills, ISO tn number, were visited by Prof. Michael of the chemical department of the college to ascertain the real .condi tions. In many he found the mills In the process of mixing corn cob chaff and oats chaff and oat hueks with the bran and other feed. Ths greatest frauds practiced, however, are practiced with the condl mental stock foods, or condition powders, according to the state college. These foods are many of them worthless In the esti mate of the chemist. Pine bark, oats husks, corn hulls, corn cob ground fine and such things, with a few drugs to mako the stuff smell. Is what the bulk of the foods are made of. Farmers Leave Today. The meetings of the various farmer o ciettes closed today with the last meeting of ths State Horticultural society.
