His wife tad been complaining for some time, but yesterday afternoon she was no worse than during the past week. The children were playing as usual. About 3 o’clock he returned and found the front door locked. This seemed strange to him, but concluding that his wife had gone out on a visit he went around the house, intend ing to enter by the back door. This, too, was locked, aud he wos compelled to force a window sash in order to gain an entrance. As be climbed through the window a strange feeling of impending evil came over him. a horrible sight. Not, however, until he had gone into the living room did the full meaning of the sealed doors and window's burst upon him. There upon a pallet, nicely arranged, lay his three darlings dead, and across the room, with her feet turned to theirs, was his wife. A double-barreled breech-load ing shotgun lay between them.

Then she placed them side by side on the pallet which she had made for the purpose and had arranged their dress neatly about them. Standing at their feet, and probably gazing down upon them, the distracted mother put. the muzzle of the gun at her own heart. After the first two were killed she must have reloaded the gun, and that she did it shows that she was partially calm. Haw she pulled the trigger when the gun wag against her own body is a mystery, unless she did It with a stick held in her hand or with her foot It is thought that toe woman poisoned and chloroformed both herself and ohildren be fore she used the gun.
