CHICAGO, Dec. "a telegram from
Whitewater yesterday said that Miss Annie
Koran of that place died suddenly under
circumstances indicating that she had
been poisoned; that about three years be-
fore, her father, mother and sister, within
q short time Of each other, died under
similar circumstances; that though ii had
created considerable talk at the time moth.
ing was done. This was revived by
Armies death, and, to settle the question
definitely, her stomach was sent TO a
chemist for analysis. The death of all
was surrounded by a complete mystery,
no one being suspected. The Inler-0cean
has 9 dispatch from Fort Atkinson where
the family formerly lived and we're much
respected. The dispatch says that 6
report was received at that place from
Whitewater that the third sister, Miss Net
tie, died there to-day Of poison, making
the fifth member Of the family; that in this
case, it was q suicide, and that before her
death Nettie confessed to having murdered
her parents and sisters. 1t is also
asserted that she confessed to poisoning
another person, though this is doubted.
No cause Is assigned for her own death.
Il was brought about by her fear Of ex-
posure of her sisters stomachs. Nettie
was q school teacher, and has TWO sisters,
still living at Fort Atkinson.
LATER-A Journals special from White
water, Wisconsin, denies the story that
Nettie Koran. before dying, confessed TO
having poisoned her father, mother and
two sisters. 1t is denied that she died
from dementis by excessive grief over the
death OF the other members of her family.

and size OF the type are specified and gen.
eral provisions made that all ballots must
