Batavia (Illinois) Herald 12 Oct. 1893

Headline: Illinois Incidents
Louis Raabe, a well known school teacher of Quincy, was adjudged insane. His friends attribute his insanity to the World’s Fair. He went to the Fair and since then has talked of nothing else. He brought back a sachel full of souvenirs and insists upon showing them to everybody. His mania is the building of World’s Fair palaces.
