of the legal firm of Wright & Baldwin
and one of the pioneer members of the
bar of southwestern Iowa, died at an early
hour yesterday morning at his home on
South Sixth Btreet, opposite Hay llss park,
after sn Illness of about two weeks. 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. He Is survived by his wife, two
sons Franklin P. Wright and George 8.
Wright the latter being a member of the
legal firm of Wright & Baldwin, and two
daughters Ellsa Caroline Wright, who
lives at home, and Mrs. William Bonson
of Dubuque. 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

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

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. It Is said, that
half Of the city lights are not burning
at night as they should be. "What's the
trouble?" 1 what the councllmen will try
to ascertain Friday evening.

(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. The
board of directors of the Department of
Agriculture will be In session tomorrow,
closing with the perfecting of the arrange
ments of the state fair. The horticulturists
elected W. A.' Burnap of Clear Lake, presi
dent to succeed himself; Wesley Greene
of Davenport, secretary; W. M. Bom
berger of Harlan, vice president, and Elmer
M. Reeves of Waverly, treasurer. At the
meeting of the board ot director of tho
Department, of Agriculture today Secretary
Simpson was re-elected and Treasurer G.
D. Ellyson waa re-elected.
At the meeting of the horticulturists to
day It was decided that the red cedar
tree which the farmer of northwest Iowa
planted as windbreaks to their orchards
were responsible for the rust that destroy
the orchards. It waa dccbled to start ex
tensive Investigation to I determine the
best fruits and producta that could be cul
tivated In the various part of the state,
dividing the state Into districts for' that
purpose and in each district give atten
tion to the fruits that could be grown
best on the west, east, north and south
