DISTINQUISHED IOWAN DEAD On last Saturday night the sorry sad shocking news of the death of Hon. Johnathan Prentis Dolliver, Senior United States Senator from Iowa, died at his beautiful home in Ft. Dodge at 7:30, was flashed over the United States, and a nation paused and wept at the loss of so great and valuable a statism to the American Nation. He was truly the most eloquent speaker and ready debtor that America has yet produced. Coming from the common stock of Old Virginia; he like Lincoln, Garfield and Blaine, surmounted the obstacles of early life and triumph in the h art of his countrymen as a friend of the common people. He twice refused the Vice-Presidency of the United States, and just now he was rising in the zenith of his usefulness to be considered the logical candidate for the common people for the presidency in 1912. For thirty years his eloquent voice rang out in the American congress against the injustice done the colored race by the South. He met them in the clash of debate and was victorious; they feared him more than a ny one when they dare attempt to assail the equal rights of our race. He was a splendid christian gentleman; stood high in the councils of the Methodist Episcopal church. This nation has lost her greatest statesman; the common people her greatest benefactor; Iowa her true aid heloved son; and the world a truly great man. In this our most solemn hour of sorrow, we can say as the Apostle once said: "He has finished his course; He has fought a good fight; He has kept the faith." Discrimination Rebuked. It was indeed a good thing to our great State University that the foot ball team was defeated last Saturday by the Missouri State University, at Columbia, Missouri, because the Missouri team would not allow Iowa to play one of her best men, who was on the regular team, simply because he was a colored man. It was good that those in authority at the Iowa athletics at Iowa City know that if Archie Alexander had been in the game, the result would have been different. A great University of education must be broad and liberal. Iowa ought to have stood out upon her true manhood and told those color prejudiced Missourians that Alexander was a regular member member of our team and we will not have him ruled out just because he is colored. He is a man, a student, a citizen, and a gentleman of our state. Below we publish a clipping from Iowa City admitting that the game was lossed because Mr. Alexander was "side tracked." Iowa City. Oct. 17—(Special.)—Coach Hawley began work today, with the biggest job of the year ahead of him—getting ready to meet Purdue, on October"22, at Iowa City. The Iowa's came out of the Missouri game in fair shape, although the tremendous heat of the southern city prostrated a half dozen of them, and Quarterback Curry was hurt, and carried unconscious from the field. The defeat of Iowa did not surprise the local followers of the game, and that closeness of the score was gratifying here. The team was weakened by the removal of Alexander, the colored tackle, whom the Missourians refused to admit to the gridiron. Alexander will be in the Purdue game, and will add strength to the line, which needed him badly in the game with the Tigers. It is believed the eleven will be in excellent form to meet the Indians eleven. Coach Hawley said today: "My eleven played good ball against Missouri, but they were outplayed at that but they were not disgraced, as at Northwestern, and I look for better things hence forth."

STATE AND NATION MOURNS LOSS IN MIDST OF A MOST ACTIVE POLITICAL LIFE IOWA STATSEMAN ANSWERS CALL OF GRIM sion of congress, he had been slightly ill, but it was not regarded as especially serious. Last spring he had trouble with his eye, and submitted to an operation. A few weeks later word was received in Fort Dodge that he was confined to his bed on account of illness, the exact nature of which was not made known. It was given out by his intimate friends that he was threatened with a general physical collapse. At the close of congress, Senator Dolliver announced that he would go to New Mexico to recuperate his health. He spent a few weeks in that state and returned to Iowa, declaring that Iowa climate was good enough for him and that he would remain in this state until congress convened again. Senator Dolliver believed be'ore the republican state convention in Iowa that he was in the best of health, and that his rest had restored his normal health. He was chosen permanent chairman of the convention. His Campaign Work. At the beginning of Senator La Follette's campaign in Wisconsin, Senator Dolliver announced his intention of entering that state to assist his candidacy. In the meantime, however, he had gone into Ohio and Indiana to investigate some records relative to the international rubber trust. He worked hard gathering his data, and this added work seemed to again affect his health. Senator Dolliver made several speeches in Wisconsin in the interest of Senator La Follette's candidacy, At Milwaukee he was taken ill and returned to his home at Fort Dodge. His illness was not regarded as serious, however. About two weeks ago he went to Jewell Junction, Ia., on business, and while there he contracted a heavy cold. It was feared for a time that he had contracted pneumonia. He was unable to shake off his illness and a week ago he took to his bed. Physicians diagnosed his case as stomach trouble, which interfered with his heart action. Brief Review of His Career. Brief Review of His Career. Senator Dolliver was born near Kingwood, Preston county, Virginia (now West Virginia), Feb. 6, 1858. He graduated from the West Virginia university and at twenty was admitted to the bar. The two brothers, Robert H. and Jonathan P., were graduated from the University of West Virginia in the same class in 1875. That summer J. P. Dolliver went to Sandwich, Ill., where he taught school the following winter in a country school, known as Victor Center. The next spring he returned to his home in West Virginia and spent a year in the study of law in the office of his uncle, John J. Brown, of Morgantown, returning the next fall to Sandwich, Ill., where he was principal of the high school. In the spring of 1878 the Dolliver boys invested all their money in law books and went to Fort Dodge, where they opened a law office. They were not denied that valuable schooling which comes from the struggle of vigorous youth to gain a professional footing with but small financial backing. They had the usual struggles, such as other young men under similar circumstances have had, but it was not long until the people of Fort Dodge "Senator Dolliver's death is a very great misfortune to the country, especially at this time. He was one of the public men whose character, ability and loyalty to the interest of the people I especially admired." Theodore Roosevelt. "In Mr. Dolliver, the senate has lost one of its ablest, most faithful statesmen, and the country a faithful public servant." Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver died at his residence at Fort Dodge at 7:30 o'clock Saturday evening, while one of his attending physicians was examining the distinguished statesman's heart with a stethoscope. His death followed an acute attack of stomach trouble which affected his heart. His physicians announced that his death was directly due to dilation of the heart. Senator Dolliver had so far recovered his strength as to be able to walk about his lawn. He had been up all day, and Saturday night entered his sitting room for the daily consultation with his physician. The senator was sitting in a large Morris chair when the physician began the examination of his patient's heart. The Suddenness of Death. While making the examination the physician kept up a conversation with Senator Dolliver and asked him how he was feeling. "I am really feeling better than at any time since my recent sickness," he said. "But I suppose the wolves will be set howling about my successor," and the senator laughed. He had frequently expressed in a humorous manner, his opinion of having the people pick his successor while he was yet alive. The physician continued his work with the stethoscope, counting the beats of the senator's heart out loud. He was frequently interrupted by Senator Dolliver with the declaration that he was unable to hear his own heart. When the physician had counted fourteen beats he informed the senator. "That's good," replied Mr. Dolliver, "the most I have been able to count was seven." The physician continued the examination, and suddenly noticed that the heart beats had ceased. He shook his stethoscope, believing that it was defective in some way. Again applying his instrument, he discovered that the heart had ceased beating entirely. Upon looking into the senator's face, he discovered that death had undertaken him. He died without a struggle and without pain. No one, with the exception of the physician, was in the room at the time of his death, Mrs. Dollliver having stepped out before the physician began his examination. Mrs. Dollliver was outside the door and was on the point of entering the room when death overtook her husband. The physician informed her simply that the senator had passed away during the examination. Ill for Over a Year. Senator Dollliver's illness dates back over a year and a half ago.
