 died suddenly at the home of her par ents in North Banks district, Wednes- day, May 8, after several months of suffering caused by general wasting away.

Wednesday, before noon, she was seized with a sinking spell and died without regain ing consciousness. Miss Steib was popular among her acquaintances and schoolmateS, as well as favorite in her family. She was intensely ambi- tious and even when suffering from ex- hauStion and great pain, worked at whatever'her hands found to do, in spite of the entreaties of loving friends, SolicitouS for her physical comfort, who urged her to maintain absolute quiet and rest.
