Mrs. Lincoln Adjudged Insane by
the Court.

The sad news of the insanity of the
widow OF our second Washington has
been confirmed by court of inquiry
at Chicago. Her son, Robert Lincoln,
appeared oh the stand to testify to the
fact. The Chicago Times has infor-
nation since, that Mrs. Lincoln at
tempted to commit suicide, by pois-
oning.
After being removed from the court
room, where she was adjudged insane,
she was put under the strictest watch,
ii being feared she might do injury to
herself.
She escaped from the room and hur-
ricd TO the drug store under the Pacific
hotel, aud ordered compound of
camphor and laudauum. The clerk in-
formed her IL would take ten minutes
10 make it. She TOOK carriage and
drove to two other drug stores. She
was followed by Mr.. Squires, who in
each case prevented the druggists from
giving her the compound.
Sh" finally returned TO the FIRST place
and procured mixture which she
supposed to be what she wanted, but
which was harmless. She drank this
as she left the store.
As it had no effect, she tried TO leave
her room again TO obtain larger dose,
but was prevented. She was removed
10 n private hospital at Batavia, H.,
this afternoon

Learn to Have Confidence.

Our State Agent, Bro. j. G. Otis, in
a neat little speech, delivered before
the Douglas County Central Council,
struck the key note when he said that:
Before we can attain any success in
cooperation it is absolutely necessary
for us to have confidence in each 9TH
err" We most heartily concur with
Brother Otis. Let a full and complete
confidence once be established through
out our Order all over this broad land
then will our social and financial pros
perity become at once a glorious sue
cess. Brother and Sister Patrons, can
you not, with almost prophetic eye,
see the abundant prosperity that would
seek us out, and almost force itself up
on US, if we should all SO act as to in
spire the fullest confidence? Now how
shall this be accomplished Did any
of you ever hear the following senti
ment if you did not we want you to
study it carefully. "In our dealings
