Merchant Kills Himself.

New York, December S.-After
having failed twice to take his life,
George w. Sulker, a Brooklyn pro-
vision merchant, was successful last
night, shooting himself through the
heart. His thirteen-year-old daugh-
ter, Irene, was sitting near him when
he fired the shot.
Sulker was to have been arraigned
in court to-day on charge of fe-
lonious assault on Mrs. Mary J. Sam
pie, of Brooklyn, who was found
bound and gagged in her home in
September last, terribly burned with
acid which had been poured on her
bare flesh.
Mrs. Sample said that she had been
blackmailed. Her story resulted IN
the arrest of Sulker, who admitted
that he had borrowed money from
the woman but denied being impli-
Gated in the attack.
Since his release on bail Sulker
had been despondent. He tried to end
his life by gas asphyxiation on Satur-
day and on Sunday repeated the at
tempt with a carving knife. His wife
restrained him on both occasions.

REMBERT SUES FOR CHILDREN,
Habeas Corpus Proceedings in State
Supreme Court.

Columbia, December S.-An inter-
esting habeas corpus case was ar
gued. in the supreme court to-day on
behalf of E. E. Rembert, a prominent
and wealthy planter of Sumter coun-
ty, to secure three children from his
wife, from whom he has been sepa-
rated for three years, and who has
been living part of the time in Char
lesion with relatives and the other
part in Atlanta.
When Mr. Rembert separated from
his wife he wrote her letter, so it is
stated and said that she and the chill
dren might consider him dead so far
as they were concerned and that he
would give them 500 a month for
support. This stipend he was after
wards forced to keep up by a decree
issued by Judge Watts.
Mrs. Rembert is strikingly pretty
woman and was an interested specta-
tor at the trial to-day. They have
been married for nineteen years and
have a daughter, who is at present a
student in St. Mary's College in Ra-
leigh, and also a son who is attend
ing the Virginia Military Institute.
Evidence was introduced to show
that the separation was due to cruel
ty and dissipation on the part of Mr..
Rembert, while her character was at
tackled by other evidence.
It is said that the case was insti-
tuted by Mrs. Rembert by attorneys
to secure possession of tract Of land
in Sumter county originally given to
Mrs. Rembert but recently decided by
Mr.. Rembert to the children in trust,
the trustee being Prof. A. G. Rembert
of the chair of Greek, of Wofford col
lege.

Dispensary System Stands.

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 7.-Oklaho-
mas liquor dispensary system is still
law although the people repudiated it
on November 3 by a decisive major
ity. In the district court here to-day
Judge A. H. Hutson held that the
form of ballot presented to the voters
was such as to convey no intelligent
idea of what was to be voted on and
therefore, the only part of the propo-
sition defeated at the polls was the
provision making the dispensary law
part of the constitution.

SMALL FARMS

COMING OF INTERURBAN
TO SPEED DEVELOPMENT.
Walla WalIa Real Estate Dealer De-
clare That Wild Horse Creek Bot
tom Will BE Strewn With Small
Farms From Pendleton TO Athena
Points TO Walla Walla-MiltOn
line as an Example of What Has
Happened.

when the Pendleton-Walla Walla
interurban line is built Wild Horse
creek from here to Athena will be-
come strewn with small farms and
the land will become more than
doubled in value"
This declaration was made here
this morning by Charles W. Myers,
formerly in the newspaper business
here. but who is now a Walla Walla
real estate man.
In connection with his business Mr..
Myers has had occasion to observe
closely the effects of the electrical
line between Milton and Walla
Walla.
The building of that line has caus-
ed the land along the line to advance
from $500 per acre to prices as high
as 500 and $500 per acre. When
the interurban line is built to this
city the land between here and Athe-
ne is sure to undergo a similar ad-
vance in value, though the increase
In price may not be as great.
"Pendleton people have no cause
to fear because they will be connect
ed with Walla Walla. The line be-
tween Walla Walla and Milton has

NEW PLANS FOR
DISTRICT FAIR
TALK OF PERMANENT.
BUILDINGS NEXT YEAR
Problem of Transportation Alone Re-
mains to BE Solved-COming of In
terurban Hoped fOr-Race Track
Also in List of Permanent Improve
ments i'm Contemplation.

Permanent buildings will house the
Umatilla- Morrow district fair next
year if the present management Is
continued in charge of the big show
which it has made so successful.
Although the management as yet
has made no plans for future fairs,
as it has not yet completed the clos
ing up Of this years exposition, it is
understood that the men who at pres
ent control the destinies of the asso-
citation favor permanent buildings
and that if the problems of transport
management the fair next year will
not only be better in the character OF
its displays, but in the housing of the
displays.
Judge Fitz Gerald has not yet COM
pleted paying all the bills incurred by
the last fair, although but few remain.
The amounts of these bills will corres-
pond almost exactly with the amount
of cash now on hand in the treas
ury.
AS soon as the affairs Of the asso-
citation for this year are closed up the
fair management will issue report
of receipts and expenditures which
will also embrace several recommen-
dations as to the future policy Just
what these recommendations will
consist in the directors do not at pres
ent care to discuss.
Intcrurban May Solve Problem.
In case of acquiring permanent
buildings the association will face the
problem Of transportation. 1t has
been suggested that If the interurban
road comes through by next year and
location can be secured within a
reasonable distance Of town where
buildings for the exhibits can be erect
ed and track, preferably mile
track, can be built that a stock COM
pany be organized and undertake the
work. Another plan Is to secure
simply a location for buildings and
maintain the same pleasant social ar
rangements that have made the fair
a success under present conditions. In
case this scheme is adopted it has
been recommended that the lots be-
longing to the city near the water
station be secured for the
purpose.

PRESERVING BABY'S VOICE.
Enterprising Talking Machine Pro-
mOteTs Do Big Business.

mOteFS DO Big business.
a gramophone and phonograph
dealer in New York has opened out
a new branch of the business which
promises to become very lucrative.
Procuring a daily list of the births
publicly announced, he sends out a
circular TO the parents, offering to
take, for a small fee, a clear and dis
tinct record of the 'prattle" Of the
dear baby.
The manager of a well known
gramophone company recently said it
was possible to obtain good records
Of baby's voice on the phonograph.
1T could not be done on the gramo-
phone" he said, "but by placing the
wax cylinder of a phonograph close
to the baby's mouth, or by taking the
baby close to the cylinder, the record
could be obtained In the case OF
very young infant, however, there
would be likely to be more noise than
pTattle.
"There are possibilities in this line
of the business. The first cries and
speeches of embryo presidential can
dldates could be preserved to be
brought up against them in after life,
or handed over to an admiring ma
tlon. IT would be possible to retain
the first sounds Issuing from the lips
of all our future celebrities If the
practice became general.
"Men who are compelled to be part
ed from their families for any length
of time could also be fitted up with
a phonograph and carry about with
them the sounds of their offsprlng's
voices.
Fresh records could be sent on to
them from time to time from home,
so that fond fathers could in this way
follow from notes the growth and de-
velopment of their children"
