A VERY SAD AFFAIR.
Tho community was greatly shocked
a few days ago by tho report that
Stephen Coopor was insane. Stevo had
been very sick with malarial fever for
several weeks, but was getting better
and the fever had loft him when It was
noticed that his mind was affected.
He imagined that ho had bought sever
al hundred acres of land iu Nemaha
und ABpinwall preuiuotB and was runi
ning a big dairy farm. Ho also imag
ined that he had bought several thou
sand sheep (forty thousand at one
time), and worried continually because
he could not get out and look attor his
business, lie had a number of other
schemes tnat ho talked of. These de
lusions were first noticed about two
weeks ago. Ho could not be induced
to take any medicine, and insisted that
he waB being starved to death. Then
ho began to threaten the family, and
the doctors advised that ho bo sent to
the asylum, where ho could have
proper treatment. He was taken to
Auburn Tuesday, and the insanity ex
amining board, consisting f Dr. C F.
Stewart, District Clerk A. D. Gilmore
and A. J. Burnham, pronounced him
insane. There has been a little delay
in taking him to the asylum on account
of a mistake iu papers, but he will ho
taken to Lincoln in a day or two. Ho
is being cared for at Auburn.
Tho case is a very pitiful ono. Steve
is only 31, very energetic and ambis
t oun Ills wife and baby and his
parents and ulsters have the sympathy
of every one in their terrible afllictlon.
It is hoped a short time under the skill
ful treatment of tho physicians at tho
asylum will soon restore him to his
right mind, although the fact that it ia
to some degree hereditary, ho having
three uncles who have been insane,
makes the eate moro doubtful than it
would otherwise be. It is certainly
hoped that ho will soon fully recover,
Ho is perfectly rational on most ques
tions. After ho trund out that ho was
to be sent to the asylum lie expressed a
willingness to go, Ills wife is staying
with him until he goes to Lincoln, and
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. N Cooper,
went out to Auburn Thursday evening
to bo with him.
THIS IS NO JOKE.
Kind friends and patrons: This is
the close of 1807, and I have carried
you for a year. In order to meet my
bills I must have what is duo me.
Truly yours,
M. II . Taylor.
HUNTERS, TAKE WARNING,
and stay off my farm (the Wray Taylor
beud) and save trouble. J.W.Weiiber.
John C. Clark had a stroke of paralw
ysls Thursday and is lying in a critical
condition at bis farm, two miles north
west of Nemaha. Tho children havo
all been sent for. It is hopod ho will
rally and live many years yet. Mr.

age in the city of Auburn, Thursday
eveniug, December 2, 187, Mr. Ford

Win. Anderson was in town with
some of his brooms Thursday, which
he disposed of in short order. It may
not be known generally that Mr. An
dersou has quite a complete broom fac
tory at his farm, but such is a fact.
He puts in about all his time in tho
manufacture of brooms, and so far has
had no trouble in selling all he can
make. He guarantees every broom ho
putt out, and we can testify to their
excellent quality, as wo have been us
ing them for some time. Mr. Ander
son had two and one-half acres In broom
corn, and next year expects to put out
live acres. He will put up a large
building next year, employ a man, and
go Into the manufacture on a moro ex
tonsivo scale. He sells his brooms at
20 conts each or three for fifty cents.
