First Methodist church.
Everybody in Fort Dodge is in
mourning today for the loss Of the
towns most noted citizen. The sud-
denness Of the senator's death caused
a shock, from which the people have
not yet recovered. A. little more than
an hour before death came. Senator
Dolliver chatted cheerfully with
Mayor 8. ]. Bennett, life long friend.
Only an hour before his death Mr.. Dol
liver spoke hopefully of his recovery
to District Judge R. M. Wright who
called to ask after the senator's
health.
During the afternoon, Senator Dolli-
verstook aswAlk In his garden which
had been one Of his pleasures. ne
seemed normal in appearance and
talked to several callers in the shade
OF aslArge tree where he had rehearsed
many Of the speeches that had made
him famous as an orator. To those
who called, the senator talked pleas
antly. and optimistically. He repeated
ly expressed the belief that he would
soon be completely recovered. He
even spoke incidentally of some plans
for the future.
Hundreds of kilograms of sympathy
poured in on Mrs. Dolliver from all
parts Of the country. Nearly every
member of both houses of congress
sent condolences. Messages also came
from most of the governors and from
the president, cabinet officers and
other public men.
