MRS. THEODORE KEIPER ABOUT TO DIE.

Dr. Robinson of Chicago, operated on Mrs. Theodore Keiper, south of town, Wednesday evening, assisted by Drs. English and Washburn, of Rensselaer, for strangulated hernia. The operation showed no less than seven perforations of the intestine and gangrene had already set in, rendering*the case a hopeless one. Mrs. Keiper is about 53 years of age, a large, healthy looking woman, weighing over two hundred pounds. She had been troubled for several months but the difficulty yielded temporarily to local treatment, and an operation was put off. The doctors think that an operation last week would probably have saved her life . She was still living yesterday morning but there is absolutely no hope whatever for her and she may be dead before The Democrat reaches its readers. i to | off on shoes and oxfords at Rowles & Parker’s clearance sale.
