DEATH OF JOHN F. FOX.
One Of the Victims of Tuesdays Acct
dent Dead-Body Was Paralyzed.

Washington, Iowa, Nov. B. At 1850
o'clock yesterday afternoon John F.
Fox foreman Of the force of bridge
carpenters who were in the wreck
near Laddsdale. died from the effects
of his injuries. He never regained
consciousness after the catastrophe.
The attending physicians state that
Mr.. Fox was badly paralyzed and that
the spine had evidently been seriously
affected in the accident. The circum-
stances Of this death are particularly
sad and the grief of the surviving wife
is made all the more poignant by the
knowledge that her husband had in
tended to pursue the occupation
which was in a manner responsible for
his death but sohrt time longer. He
had intended to retire from railroad
work soon and go to farm which he
owns in another part of the state, but
in this instance. as in SO many SINH
lar ones, just at the time when one Is
about to step into apparent safety the
darkest danger of all comes.
Mr. Fox was born March %. 1856 in
Lyons, and grew to manhood there.
He was married January 49, 1884 at
Lyons, to Miss Sarah Laughlin who
survives him. Mr. Fox had been en-
gagged in railroad work for about thirty
years. He came here about two years
ago as foreman of a bridge force. Mr..
and Mrs. Fox lived in Clinton for
about eighteen years, where he was in
the grocery business for some time.
They have no children. The body will
be taken to Clinton for interment
The deceased was a member of the
Catholic church.

REGISTRY LIGHT
ALL OVER IOWA SMALL NUMBER
OF NAMES APPEAR ON THE
BOOKS.

Des Moines, Nov. 3.-The republi-
can STATE central committee has re.
celved returns Of the first three days
registration in twenty-six of the forty
two cities of the state in which voters
are required to register in order to
vote at the election next Tuesday.
These twenty-six cities, which COM
prise the largest of the registration
cues, snow an aggregate registration
thus lar OF S4,950. In 1900 these same
cities cast a total of 1926 votes, or
4,276 votes in excess of the number OF
voters that have taken the pains to
register this year This indicates that
there are yet a large number of voters
who have not yet registered, and who
should not fail to do SO at the earliest
opportunity on next Saturday
The twenty-six cities from which re-
ports have been received cast 1875 per
cent of the total vote of the state at
the election in 1900. If the total reg
istration thus far in the twenty-six
cities reporting is to be taken as an
indication of the total vote which will
be polled in these cities, it shows that
the total vote of the state will be $780,
351, or falling off from the total vote
of the state in 1900 of about 10000.
Must Turn Out Voters.
The attention of the republicans in
each of these cities is called to this
fact and the necessity of systematic
effort to see that on next Saturday
every republican who has not yet reg
istered does so.
The total registration thus far re-
ported and the vote cast in 1900 is as
