"O'ER YOUNG TO MARRY YET"
Hettie Stewart Preferred Death by
strychBine 10 q Disappointed Life.

HARTFORD CITY, IND, January 27.-The
young lady. Miss Nettie Stewart, who took
the strychnine Wednesday afternoon, died
from the effects OF il at $50 o'clock the same
evening. Miss Stewart was young lady Of
bright appearance, but naturally quiet and
reserved in her ways; respected by all who
knew her. 1t is said she prepared herself
for the act BY changing her dress through
out, putting on her best clothing, then went
out to the drug store of 7. Kusbe & Co. and
called for the poison, but Mr.. Kuabe would
not sell it to her. She went 10 the drug
store Of A. NJ. Mix and bought five grains Of
strychnine, and then went home, sat down
coolly and eating it as though it were
sugar. Her mother, coming into the
room, discovered what she was doing and
gave the alarm. Drs. s. Drayer and C. r.
Mason were called and did all in their power,
but too late, as the poison bad passed through
her system. Her father, Clark Stewart, a
stock dealer, was on his way to Cincinnati
with stock, but was recalled by telegram.
The rumor as to the cause is that she was
not allowed to keep company with a Mr..
Knight, young man of good habits and OF
good family. Nothing can be said against
him. The objection was on account OF her
age, she being not quite seventeen years old
Mr.. knight was with her, at her request, up

went 10 Boston and then to Washington,
and for two years drove a car there, remain

manage his affairs better without hir. He
never intended 10 return, but was seen by
chance, arrested as lunatic, and given his
choice 10 be confined in an asylum or 10 do
his duty SIS q man. He came back, and,
after two happy years at home, died in his
wife's arms. In another case that / remem-
Der, gentleman was supposed to have COM
mitted suicide by jumping from a steam
boat. His wife made no fuss, but
kept the matter quiet, because she alone
never gave up the idea that his suicide was
sham, and for three years she hunted him
down, and finally restored him to his home
and business. A third case of which had
personal knowledge was that of 4 dry goods
