A LOCAL MURDER
AND SUICIDE.
VIII RemlCk Kills His Wife and Then
Himself.
TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER Scene.


and killed his wife and himself.
at the home of Mrs. Reimck, on
Park avenue. They had been
separated since some time last
winter, and Mrs. Remick had
filed suit for divorce. They had
haC some trouble before. and at
one time this last spring Mr..
Remick kidnapped one of the
children, a boy about ten years
old, and took him to Kansas City.
Mrs. Remick followed them and
recovered possession of the child,
and returned here, where she has
been living with her three child
rem, a girl of IS, boy of 10 and
a girl of Z years OF age.
Mrs. Remick and her children
had been living in the property
belonging to the Baptist church.
and was we'll spoken of by her
neighbors.
Since the separation of the fam
lily Mr.. Remick has travelled over
the country a great deal, making
his headquarters in Kansas City,
where he has a married siser liv.
ing. He had recently located at
Kinsley, Kansas, and is said to
have bought restaurant. He
came to this city Thursday morn
ibg on the train from the west.
and spent practically all the after
noon in the Office of his attorney
preparing a coss bill to his wife's
petition for divorce. This was
completed and filed with the clerk
of court just before six O'Clock
Thursday evening. He had at.
tended to several other little mat
tiers of business around town, and
had said that he intended to take
the evening train back to Kinsley.
1t is said that Remick had at
various times threatened to kill
his wife, and she being afraid of
him, had one of the hack drivers
to keep her posted as to his CON-
ings and goings to and from this
city. Cal Keenan,, a bus driver
for Mike Daley, had gone to
Mrs. Remick's home that evening
to tell her that her husband VAS in
town. and was standing on the
porch talking to her when Remick
came to the house. Keenan, says
that Remick had the gun in his
right hand as he stepped upon the
porch, and that he. Keenan,, grab
bed his right wrist. Then Remick
shifted the revolver into his left
hand and began firing. When
Mrs. Remick saw what was CON-
ing she started into the house and
fell about half way across the
room, with three bullets in her
body. One struck her in the head,
another in the throat and the third
one in the breast. Remick then
turned the revolver and fred one
shot into his brain dying almost
instantly.
The three children we're all in
the room where both their par.
ents we're killed, and as soon as
possible after the neighbors had
realized what had happened, they
we're taken across the street to
the residence of Mrs. Chas
Pressl, where they were given all
the care and attention that good
people can give to those in dis
tress. The older daughter was in
a very historical condition, and
needed considerable attention.
Mr.. Remick was one of the old
settlers in this part of the..country
coming here at an early day but
not staying here all the time
since. He had lived in Wichita,
Hutchinson. and several places in
Colorado, Wyoming and Montana
returning to this city with his

has received a letter from Superin
tendent Sullivan relative to the i'm
provement of the depot facilities at
that place He promises at an early
date to provide separate waiting

a letter to the railroad officials by
Mayor Murphy and other Italy citi-

The citizens of Italy are to be con-

life miserable for the mapagfmept

THE SOCTH'S REMARKABLE
EARNING CAPACITY.

The Chattanooga Tradesman does
not seek TO detract from the refer
ences made by other papers to the
South's great strides in manufactur-
seeing that these are. in a sense,
overshadowing the basic wealth Of
a truly wonderful section that jour
nal refers To the real foundation of
the South's wealth and progress:
"The South was formerly an agGcul
tural and commercial section. and
from these sources acquired great
wealth with a high degree OF civil
cation in consequence. so that II
would be "A very grave mistake If
she did not still place these in their
proper shpere of usefulness and
value in all estimates that might be
made of the resources of the South.
Ii has become a rule to measure
values by the earning power of the
investments on which they are based,
and considered by this standard, the
farm property of the South is the
most valuable of all its assets. adds
the Tradesman.
According TO the census OF 1900,
there We're 355,79l,559 acres in
farms in the Southern States. of
which there were only 121,S31.797
acres improved. or "a per cent of the
whole The value of the entire acre
age improved and unimproved, in
Guiding buildings and all improve
ments, was placed at S3,05S, 1873, %,
and yet the fraction OF the whole that
was improved produced last year
s. 500 900 600, which showed an
1 earning capacity of nearly 80 per
cent on the total acreage, including
/ the 60 per cent that was idle or un-
/ improved This is the dearest dem
/ onStration that can be given of the
value OF investments in Southern
farm property. Even with all chat
has been or that can be said regard
ing farm labor in the South, no other
portion of this continent can show
such earning capacity from its farm
. lands. II is further remarked that
these lands only carry an average
Z valuation on both improved and un-
improved OF about $3.50 an acre
instances can be given where indus
triouS tenants have cleared enough
on one years crop TO make a sub
stantial payment on farm OF their
own. and pay for that farm outright
on the proceeds OF the second years
labor. But by adding the value oi
farming implements and live Stoct

The United States consul at Vic
soria, B. c., reports a scheme Of profit
sharing, conducted by the British
company operating the street railways
and lighting plants in that section,
which is working veil. After paying
per cent on the stock the balance
of net earnings is divided into three
parts, two Of which go to the stock
holders and one to employees of more
than a year in equal amounts to each
"a track greaser receiving as much
as goes to the general manager Of the
company in London. In 1903, the first
year of trial, sum equaling $25 per
employe was divided; the next year
$35, and for this year the division,
which has just been made, amounts
to $40.
