Suicide of a Bride.
A Young Lady Shoots Herself a Fen Hours
Before Her Intended Nuptials.

49, F. s.AS4& eatsNS 80 Z
The Omaha Herald of Sunday has a long ac-
count OF the suicide, the day previous of Miss
LA L.. Huth, who was to have been married
Sunday, to Mr. Ben. Brewer. She had been
engaged to Brewer and rejected him for a
tempted suicide at the time Finally Vieth
was rejected, and Brewer became again the ac-
cepted sutton. She was very pretty and CO.
quettish, and though engaged" to Brewer,
confessed six weeks ago that she did not love
him. A friend advised her not to marry with
out love, saying Then do not marry, for you
will never be happy with husband you do not
love-" She replied; 81 am not happy; new
er expect to be; there is no enjoyment in this
world for me-" He answered You should
act wisely" She replied, Il will. !" 6
Preparations progressed for the wedding
Brewer had taken and furnished house, and
her bridal wardrobe was being prepared. The
wedding was to take place at clock Sunday
morning. At two o'clock in the afternoon
Brewer left his fdnce. All was bliss. An
hour afterward the sharp report of a PISTOL was
heard. The inmates Of the house rushing into
Miss lda's room found the bride Of death lying
stretched at full length, face downward, on the
floor. Attempting to raise her, they found her
almost motionless and speeches.. La ten min
utes she died. The fond mother was almost
distracted with grief, and lovingly clasped the
corpse Of the slain one. Messengers were
speedily dispatched for the father and brothers,
and they, soen arriving, united in the testi-
mony of most touching despair but the final
exhibition of frantic grief and desperate sor-
