REV. GODDARD
At ROCHESTER
OH SHORT TINE
Found That an Operation
Is Not Necessary at the
Present Time.

The following from the Algona,
Iowa, papers tell of the illness of a
former pastor of the Baraboo Congre-
gational church and are self explana-
tory. His many Baraboo friends hope
for his ultimate and permanent recov-
cry. The article. are as follows:
Rev. Louis A. Goddard has been at
Rochester, Minnesota, for several days
consulting specialists regarding his
condition. Few people knew that he
was ailing but he has been more or less
indisposed for several months and I'M
der physicians care Last week he
grew worse and upon the advice of the
local physician, accompanied by DR..
Kenefik, he went to Rochester. Mon
day morning he was given an examina-
ton and was under an anesthetic for
two hours. Another examination was
to have been given yesterday morning
and Mrs. Goddard expected to hear the
report during the day. DR.. Braash, a
specialist connected with the Mayo
Brothers hospital, has charge of his
case. This is not considered necessarily
dangerous unless it becomes necessary
to operate upon the kidneys which is
taken as very serious operation.
Much interest is shown by Algona peo-
pie and all hope that Rev. Goddard will
soon recover his health completely.
Mrs. Goddard received phone mes
sage that Rev. Goddard would be home
today and the doctors do not recon-
mend an operation.
Another Account.
Friends of Rev. L. A. Goddard were
very much surprised and alarmed last
week when it was learned that he had
gone to Rochester with DR.. Kenetick
for an examination at the Mayo Bros.
hospital, with the possibility that he
would be'the subject of a dangerous
operation It appears that he rhas not
been we'll for some time, but that his
condition was serious was not under
stood until a few days ago. He sent
word yesterday that the doctors had
decided not to operate, at least.at pres
ent, and that he would be homej this
morning. Rev. Goddard and his Sfamily
have gained a very wide circle of
friends during their short residence
here, and all Algona people hope that
the popular minister may soon regain
his usual good health.
