Charles City. Sept. 14.-B. F. Wright,
known as the father of prohibition in
Iowa, and the central figure in many
political contests. is dead at the home
of his daughter here. He passed away
Sunday morning at 1:4o o'clock.
IA year or so ago Mr.. Wright and
his family became convinced that he
must give up active business in Iowa
and remove to California. He was aIlx-
ious to live few years longer in
peace amid the much loved members
Of his family, and in January he made
the journey. He became very sick
after his arrival there and was for
weeks at the verge of death in the
home OF his daughter, Mrs. II. w.
Sharman. In May, however, he had
recovered onsiderably-enough as he
made himself believe to attempt q
journey back to Iowa to close out his
newspaper business. He made the
Journey, occupying bed in a sleeper
all the way. He disposed of his bust
ness as promptly as he could, but then
1t became apparent that he might never
realize his hope OF returning to Cal
ifornia and there prolong his days. He
soon became seriously sick and was
forced to his bed from which he did
not rise again except for very brief
vic NJ.
ton at last yielded to the attacks Of
disease and only, his stubborn spirit
held out to the end. The cause of his
death was Inflammation of the blad-
der and enlargement of the prostate
gland.
Fifty Ono Years in State.
For fifty-one years Mr.. Wright was
resident of Iowa, all of that time in
Charles City. When he first came
from Ohio in 1857 as young mar Of
20 to seek his fortune in the new
west, he engaged in the mercan-
tile business as an employe of the
pioneer house of Ferguson & Co,
which was soon succeeded by the firm
of Wright & McNabb, the latter now
located in San Diego. Cal. But the
peaceful pursuits of merchandising
were not fitted to the turbulent dis
position Of Mr.. Wright; he loved to
mix it" too much with men in poll
tics and elsewhere to stay in a busi-
ness that required constant self-re-
preston. So in 1872 he engaged Fin
and in that field he soon
made < nself a reputation that went
far and wide over Iowa reputation
for pronounced convictions and Wig
orous way of asserting them. In his
years Of newspapering he was for
twenty-five years editor and publisher
Of the Floyd County Advocate and for
eleven years of the Charles City Daily
Press. He did not lay down his pen
until he had to, and even when he was
sick in bed, barely able to move, he
continued his work by debating his
editorial and other matter to his
younger associate, Robert II. Nicol.

Suicide. Body Found in Bushes

Des Moines, Sept 14.-Secreted in
clump of bushes the badly decom-
posed body of Carl Hansen, until re-
Gently porter at the Harris Emery
company's store, was found sssaa lone
ly spot in the woods opposite Grand
View park yesterday afternoon.
AT his side were found an empty
whiskey bottle and loaded gun. The
revolver contained five cartridges and

CLEO MOORE STILL ALIVE.
II Cerebral Artery Heals, Mason City
Boy MAY Recover.

Boy May Recover.
Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Sept. 4.-Cleo Moore,
whose skull was fractured when struck
by a street car last Tuesday night, is
still alive and doing as we'll as the sur
geon could hope His condition is still
very critical. The fact that the cere-
bral artery was severed when the skull
was fractured makes the case more
dangerous. The skull was trepanned
in two places, but the severed artery
could not be reached by the surgeons
Cor the purpose of uniting the severed
ends. Consequently the end nearest
the heart was closed with packing. II
the artery heals he may recover. He
has never yet totally regained con-
seriousness.
