A Terrible Tragedy.

A dispatch dated Stockton, Cal,
Nov IL, says:
0. A. Ross, q preacher living near
Lockford, early this morning shot and
killed his wife, his eight-year-old son
and himself. He was Methodist
preacher several years, but lately has
been Congregationalist, travelling
about selling books. He had not
lived happily with his wife, and they
separated some time ago. She sup
ported herself and boy by teaching
school near Lockford, and made her
home at the residence OF Frank Fos-
ter.
For some time past Ross has been
driving to the schoolhouse and taking
his wife home at the close OF school
hours. He did this yesterday, and re-
NAMED with her all night. He arose
at 5 o'clock this morning and shot
her through the temple with pistol
while she was asleep, killing her in
stantly. The report awakened the
little boy, who slept in an adjoining
room. He rushed into his parents
room and his father shot him twice,
once in the cheek and once in the
temple causing instant death. Before
Fosters family could reach the room
Ross shot himself in the head and
soon died. The real cause OF the trag.
edy is not known. An inquest will be
held this afternoon.

SAD SITUATIONS.

Tho Last Lessons ar . Loving Mother'S
Lfe-PreparinE for Insanity. E
remember being taken by my
mother when was child to see a
poor woman who was dying Of q cancer.
The disease was eating its way to
vital part and her doctor had given
her month as her utmost limit OF
life. She was preparing for her end
In a way that seemed practical and
prosaic enough, but that struck me as
pathetic in it's self-forgetfulnesa She
was sitting up in bed, with basket
beside her, finishing up the family
mending. showing her eldest daughter
ON whose thirteen-year-old shoulders
the burden Of household care was
soon to fall-how TO fell down seams
In the little brothers. knee patches
and how to darn the heel Of fathers
sock, so that he would never feel the
difference. She had impressed upon
the girl how to make her fathers
favorite potato poue, how to manage
her young sister when she got into tho
sulks, what to do for her father when
he had his periodical fit Of cramps
and every thing else she could think
Of that would insure comfort in tho
humble home she was leaving. She
had all the work planned which she
would do during the short span Of life
that was given to her. Her burial
clothes were folded away in q drawer
with sweet basil leaves among them.
was reminded Of the incident by
reading in a paper recently Of a man
In Milwaukee who is preparing for
something that IL even more terrible
than death--insanity. He will be yio-
lenNy insane in few weeks, and he
knows It. Some time ago HIS skull
was fractured; a gristle Is fast forming
about the cracked edges. which will
surely press upon the brain and make
him a maniac. He talks calmly and
nationally Of his approaching fate, and
spends every moment Of his brief term
Of sanity In making provision for his
family when he shall no longer be
able to care for them, It lisa situation
