She seemed to have been stricken al

nature of her sisters fate.
Mrs. Weber has been separated from
her husband about a year They lived
unbapphy during the latter part OF
their married life, and while Mr..
Weber was in office, his wife began
proceedings for a divorce. Mr.. Weber
fCrestalled the action for the time be-
ing by promising to contribute a we ky
sum for his Wife's support, but later
when he failed TO keep the agreement,
the suit was instituted. 1t was con-
tested, but after a trial which attract
ed much interest, owing to the promi-
hence of the couple, Mrs. Weber OBJ
tanned decree of separation. There
are five children, the eldest tWeuty-One
years of age and the youngest eight
years old. The two youngest Ciris were
taken by Mrs. Weber. while the others
at their own option. went to live with
their father. Ever since the separation
Mrs. Weber worried constantly, it Is
said, and at times found it difficult to
support herself ard children. She went
to live with her sister in the house on
Twelfth street, which was left to the
two daughters by their mother. Last
spring Mrs. Weber's health failed so
rapidly that an attack of nervous pros
tratfon necessitated her removal to the
city hospital. She remained under
treatment at the institution for three
months, during which time the two
children in her care, were placed in the
Protestant Orphan asylum, where they
have since remained In June, Mrs.
Weber left the hospital somewhat i'm

Mrs Sophie Weber, the divorced wife
of ex-Register of Deeds Henry Weber
ended her life yesterday afternoon by
hanging herself with q clothes line to
the baluster at the home of her sister,
Miss Emma Hoeffner, with whom she
lived at 5S East Twelfth street. The
cause Of the suicide is said to have
been mental troubles induced by do
nestle infelicity. For some months
Mrs. Weber suffered from nervous
prostration, and friends say that her
rash act was, beyond a doubt, that of
a deranged mind.
The suicide was not discovered until
shortly after o'clock last evening,
though it is thought that Mrs. Weber
hung herself as early as o'clock in the
afternoon. She and her sister lived by
themselves. Miss HOeffner is employed
at Schuneman & Evans, and while in
her place Of business Mrs. Weber re-
manned at home alone. Mrs. Weber
had never threatened her life, and the
shock of finding her sisters body sus-
pended from the baluster completely
Frustrated Miss Hoeffner who made the
awful discovery. She had gone home
from the store with only the thought

simply placed her neck in the loop
formed by the double strands without
tying any kind of a knot and kicked
the chair from under her. Death was
due to strangulation. The body hung
only about four inches from the floor,
and from the peculiar nature Of the
loop about the suicides neck it Is won
dcred how she managed to keep 1t from
slipping off and letting her body drop
to the floor. This, however, is probably
explained by the fact that the body

DECISION FOR THE BANK.
West Side Institution Wins From
Methodist Church.

Judge Otis filed decision yesterday grant
ing judgment in favor of Charles F. Staples,
as assignee of the West Side bank. and
against the Methodist Episcopal church, of
West st. Paul, and others, and directing
the foreclosure OF a mortgage for $1,000 given
as security for a note to that amount exc
cuted by the trustees Of the church. In a
memorandum accompanying the decision
Judge Otis says:
Il think the evidence clearly shows that
the giving by the church of its note to the
by the defendant, Rice, of the note and
mortgage described in the complaint were
part and parcel of the same transaction. The
fact that the note and mortgage were to run
six months shows something moe W In end
ed than that they should evidence the alleged
lost note and mortgage. One purpose was ad-
mfttedIy to satisfy the bank and prevent its
pressing fer immediate payment and this
could be done only by an extension. This be-
ing So there was sufficient consideration,
and it does not matter that the defendant,
Rice, had been released by prior extensions
made without his consent, nor in fact
whether there was a consideration for the first
note he gave"
