Mr.. Alvin Cox, son of Jesse l.. Cox the
well known farmer in the upper end OF

last evening which cost him his life, and
which was MS shocking in its nature a. it
~idower lGriy-seven Years Of age, had
been at COrd1va attendn" the celebra
ton. He drove down to Port Byron on
his WAY TO his home in Zuma township
and then started to drive oyer the same
familiar road which he Travelled in the
morning, in the direction of home. The
streams were all swollen in consequence
of the rain in the middle OF the after
noon, so that when Mr.. Cox reached
BARRIERS Greek, ordinarily small stream
it was raging furiously and the current
was terrific. But Cox apparently trusted
to his horse to take him across The
horse had only gotten fairly into the
water when it lost It's footing and became
helpless in the swift dashlng current and
animal, vehicle and passenger were ear
ried down the raging stream, the buggy
capsl2ing and rolling over and over rs il
went The outfit passed over two high
fences and then caught on piece of
projecting timber, and the horse, unable
to eXtricaie itself from The harness, was
drowned while Mr. Cox disappeared cu-

hill Witnessed the catastroph7 which was
over in a moment
The body Of the unfortunate man has
not vet been recovered aud it is supposed
II was carried down the furious stream
and out into the river into which the
creek flows. 1t is strange and sad
coincidence that two Of the drowned
mans brothers, Frank and Joseph, also
met their deaths at different times and
with accidents while handling horses.

there politically speaking something had
fallen and strange ch.nge had come

than the ambitious congressman
and that settled it. So Murphy in the
hour of anguish and disappointment
sought relief in future rtvenge, and when
it began to dawn that Mr. Richardson
was II candidate for Iowa member OF
the democratic national committee, Mr.

An Illegal Appointing

this morning, by taking out his naturali-
cation papers and renouncing his sllegi>
ance to the Gar of Russia. SO that al the
time OF his appointment he was not a
legal voter of the city. On these grounds
alone, his selection was an improper one
Section 6 of article 6, of the General
Incorporation Laws for Cities and Vii
lagos, says in regard to the qualification
of officers:
NO person shall be eligible to any
city or village"

of the library board, without making any

through siege Of fire and destruction,
but rather as if it had passed through the
hands of one of artistic design and skill,
one with peculiar eye for the beautiful
in art. To begin with, the suite of
rooms con prising the studio have been
thoroughly renovated and iearranged
The reception room has been papered il
rich terra Gotta, the parlor in beautifully
blending blue and gilt showing graceful
harmony Of color, the effects being in
keeping with Mr. Rasmussens taste
Elegant new frames containing grace,
full arrangement and grouping of photo

walls. Chinese mating with large
handsome rug in the centre, covers the
parlor floor, while the reception room
floor is of natural wood ornamentally
laid.
The operating room has been enlarged
and reappointed with the addition of
many fine scenic pieces, one in particular
being back ground showing the falls of
Minnehaha, and there are other equally
pleasing effects, while others are being
designed and painted
In addition TO these improvements the
working, pointing, silvering. finishing
and dark rooms have been rearranged,

the fire, he realizes that he is now in better
condition TO suit his own convenience
