If there is any doubt about making

petizing food that has ever come to
my knowledge.

The result in my case was simply
astonishing. 1 had no desire what
ever for sweet pistrys, meats, or in
anything else; and my brain was as

The peculiar advantage of Grape

before Mrs. Mckinney was fully
aware OF his presence. Making sure
he had killed her, the old man went
upstairs. carefully loaded the rifle
again, took a position so he would
fall upon the bed, placed the muzzle
Of the weapon over the region of the
stoma n and in some way discharged
the rifle. He then fell over back
wards upon the bed in the position
in which he was found next morning
The cottage where this awful trag-
edy occurred was examined by the
Jury and found to be well kept and
neatly aud comfortably furnished.
Apparently the couple had been hap
py together in the past. 1t was
thought probable that the disappear
ance of the note. together with the
failing condition of the old mans
mind. led him to plan the terrible
deed.

Old Man Was Despondent.

Evidence of witt esses went to show
that Mr.. Mckinney had been very de-
spondent for some time past and had
made an attempt some time ago to
end his life by taking a large dose of
aconite. Recently he had been more
|downhearted than usual aud had
spoken to friends about being tired
II life. Last Monday he told several
persons of troubles he had had with
his wife over property matters. They
had owned farm in Dakota and she
aad persuaded him to deed it to her
She then sold it, and, in accordance
with her agreement with him, gave
him her note for 500 He told friends
Monday that this note had disap-
oeared and that he thought his wife
1ad destroyed it. Tnose who knew
him best would not have been sur
prised to learn of his taking his own
life, but never thought for n moment
hat he would murder his wife. He
.as 76 years of age and, with his
vie, had resided in the town for the
asst 20 years. coming from Psnnsyl-
Yania. His trade was that of black
ninth and he conducted a shop up to
Ibout year ago. He was also sort
of veterinary surgeon. He was well
thought of, but looked upon as being
rather odd. His wife, aged 40, was
considered as a hard woman to get
along with.

Tragedy.

Murder and suicide was the ver-
dict of the coroner's Jury in the Nc
Kinney tragedy at Princeton. Iowa
chronicled in last evenings ARGUS
Four or five witnesses were examined
and postmortems conducted upon the
remains to a sufficient extent to prove
the nature of the injuries. Mrs. Nc
Kinney, it was found, had been shot
just above the stomach. The course
of the bullet had been slightly down
ward. 1t was evident she had been
shot from a distance of about ~ feet.
Mr.. Mckinney was discovered to have
been shot also. and his wound was in
almost the same place as that re-
ceived by his wife. Apparently he
had stood with his back to the bed
and holding the muzzls of the rifle to
his stomach had fired. falling back on
she bed in the position in which he
vas found. Powder burns showed
she close proximity of the weapon.
An examination of the rifle developed
