SENATOR DOLLIVER CLAIMED BY DEATH

lowa Solon Dies Suddenly al Fort Dodge Home. The cause of the death of United States Senator Dolliver, who died at Dodge City, la., was dilatation of the heart, due directly to an attack of acute indigestion. It had been believed that he had almost entirely recovered from the attack of indigestion from which he had been suffering for a week, but his exertions in the political campaign had weakened his vitality. The progressive Republican leader had been .sitting up all day and made a trip down town from his residence. He told several men whom he met that he had recovered froi t the indisposition which followed flis recent trip J through Wisconsin on a speechmaking' tour for Senator LaFolleGe. While working over the senator the' physician. Dr. E M , Van Patton, used an instrument to listen to the heart action. He had ■ counted four:een regular Etrckes and informed his patient. ( “That is good,” sa.'d Mr. Dolliver, "The most I have been able to get is seven.” Two mere strong heartbeats were recorded aftd then two faint ones Then the physician heard nothing. He i thought for an instant that his sfetl.osccpe tyas faulty; He glanced up and / discovered the patient was dead. It was learned that a consultation of physicians was held a week ago. The decision then was- that the senator might prolong his life bj relinquishing his work, but that he never again would speak in the senate or thrill an audience from the public platform. Mrs. Dolliver said the senator, while in Washington last winter, studied the tariff schedules constantly, far into the night, taking little time to eat and then going back to work immediately Such work told on nis physician powers undermining his naturedly rugged constitution. Death cut short Mr. Dolliver’s plans to help Senator Beveridge in the Indiana campaign and to aid Senator Clapp in Minnesota. At the state convention he declared he would enter every one of the ninety-nine counties in lowa, whether invited or not., to speak in support of the state ticket. He met Col. Roosevelt at Omaha on the latter’s recent western trip and accompanied the former president to Sioux City. From there he returned to Fort Dodge Margaret Gay Dolliver, dean of women at’ Moring.-dde college, Sioux City, a'sister, and the Rev. R. H. Dolliver, of Redfield. S D., a brother, have oecn notified.

After careful preparations ’he life • boat was lowered and launched- While ' the launching was under way. however the brisk wind caused the equilibrator to sway violently and to strike Operator Jack Irwin and Louis Loud, • one of the assistant engineers, as they were lowering themselves. They j were not seriously injured. Upon being free of the weight of the erew. the airship immediately shot ■ skyward as the life boat was taking J the water. The sea that was running at the time was moderate and the aeronauts had very little trouble in reaching the Trent and boarding that i steamship. * A 7:30 o’clock a. m., . three hours after the steamship had I sighted the America and within a few : minutes of 71% hours from the time the airship had left the Atlantic City beach. Wellman and his companions and life beat were hauled aboard the Trent. The balloon, now a speck in the sky, was left to the winds to founder in the Atlantic. None of the aeronauts was found to have suffered from his adventure. When the America was abandoned she still had gas enough aboard to keep her afloat at leas l twenty hours longer. The crew was glad to get 1 aboard the Trent, nevertheless, as they had begun to fear that theV would • not reach home again. Navigator. Simons of the America took several photographs of the airship from the deck of the Trent before the airship disappeared.
