Unlike many women who commit suicide, ‘Mrs. Stiebeling’s life was always a pleasant one, except that her mind was when she was a child. A PEAK OF INSANITY. Several times during her life she had felt that her mind would become a total wreck, and if there was one thing above another that she feared it was that she would eventually have to would be an everlasting disgrace to hez family. To avoid such an ending she concluded to take her own life, but it was not until her mind was in such condition us to render her irresponsible for her acte. , Not more than ten days ago she spoke to Dr. 8.8. Bond, her family physician, about her was mude known. being sent to the asylum she said she was often afraid of herself, and ‘at times,” she said, “I feel like I want ‘to kill somebody.” Still ‘she did not want to take any medicine, but the doctor persnaded her to take something if she wanted to get well. He wrote a prescription, which her husband had filled, and for two or three days she took her doses regularly. The medicine made her feel so much better that she concluded that she was well and then stopped using it. TOOK ROUGH ON RATS. She again felt badand the same feelings no doubt returned, and yesterday she put an end to her sufferings by taking a dose of “rough on rata.” Mrs. Stiebeling, while undoubtedly of un- sound mind, remembered that her young chil- dren were in the house and had to be eared for and she did not take the fatal dose until zbout 3 o'clock in the afternocn, when she knew that her husband would be home in about an hour's time to care for the children in event of her death before he arrived. ‘The dose she took was a heaping teaspoonful. Her husband returned home about the ustal time—a few minutes after 4 o’elock—aud found his wife feeling bad. ‘The poison had then no doubt taken effect, but there were no signe of death, nor did she even tell him what she had done. Her condition was not xo bad that the attendance of a physician was thought neces- sary, and the affectionate husband nursed her as best he could until about 9 o'clock, when #he told what she had done. MEDICAL AWD OF NO AVATL. The husband could scarcely realize the truth of the wife's confession, but the family physi- cian was at once sent for. He was not at home and Dr. Merriam was called in to do what he could for the woman. An hour later Dr. Bond was at her bedside, but the pationt was almost at death's door. Her hands and feet were cold d death was sure to foliow in a few hours at the most.
