 Mrs. Leonard T. Lull committed sui eide last Thursday She lived with her
 husband in the old hotel building, and has } for years been out of health, causing at
 times great mental depression. Yet the final act was evidently one of sudden lm-
 pulse. Her husband was at work in the hay field, and she was alone with girl !, who was aiding in the housework Mrs. T. had gone to her room to lie down, and the girl had once or twice gone to her for instructions about her work. Going to the door for such purpose finally she found 1t fastened. She went outside snd found the windows closed, also fastened and closely curtained. She called for help, ,and
 two neighbors came and forced the win dow, and found Mrs. T. dead. She had
 tied towel to the bedstead, and by throw , ing her weight on the loop had strangled l herself. Deceased was forty one years of age, and leaves no children. She had be- fore manifested disposition toward self
 destruction, hence the girls alarm at find 7 ing the door fastened. An uncle of Mrs. T. committed suicide many years ago, and another uncle made nearly successful at-
 tempt in the same direction, both because } of impaired health, and also under circum- stances that indicated sudden impulse
 or loss of self control.
