Mr. Chester O. Case to-day received a dispatch from his son, W. D. Cass, from Kewanee, Ill, stating that he was better and would be able to start for home this week.

• Illness: OSWEGO MORNING POST, FRIDAY, 22 Dec 1882, Oswego Town, Oswego, New York. Will D. Case

Mr. William D. Case, one of Oswego's promising young men, who was taken suddenly sick in Illinois a few days ago, is expected home this morning. He went from here to assume the duties of private secretary to Mr. Morton, the democratic candidate for governor of Nebraska, during the campaign. The performance of the duties of secretary to Mr. Morton in the most exciting political contest ever known in Nebraska, was indeed an arduous task. Both candidates discussed the question at issue from the same stage and before the same audiences in every city in the state. Mr. Case traveled with them and reported in short-hand the speeches of both candidates for publication. This was a task that few could perform as well, and none better than Mr. Case.

Soon after the close of the political contest in Nebraska, Mr. Case entered the employ of a large manufacturing company at Kewanee, Ill., as private secretary and corresponding clerk to the president and manager of the company. Here, by reason of his business tact, he was rapidly winning his way upward when his health began to fail, and he has been obliged to desist from his labors and return to Oswego for rest and recuperation.

Mr. Case is the son of our esteemed townsman, Mr. C. O. Case, Esq., and is 22 years old Hosts of friends both in Oswego and in the west unite the hope that he may be speedily restored to health, that he may renew the exercise of his talents and win that success in life which such young men as he never fail to achieve in whatever pursuit they may be pleased to enter.

Justice C. O. Case yesterday received a telegram from his son, William D. Case, who is at Omaha, Neb., stating that he was very weak and had no one to take care of him. Mrs. C. O. Case left for Omaha on the evening train last night. It will be remembered that Mr. Case first went to Omaha where he was employed as a stenographer, thence to Georgia and back to Omaha. He has a host of friends in this city who will be pained to hear of his serious illness.
