CANTON PEOPLE DOUBT IT
ARE REASONING ON WERER,S
DEATH WITHOUT KNOWING
THE FACTS
The Mysterious Suicide 1t Turns Out
Leaves u Bride of Year and n
Babe Two Months Old Residing i'm
the Buckeye State.

The people of Canton evidently have
not become acquainted with the facts
concerning the death of Tom Weber. the
man who committed suicide on East
Third street the night of March 6 and
whose identity was only discovered Mon
day. The q | b e received the following
special from Canton last night:
"Cantonians are much aroused over the
death of Tom Weber in St. Paul Thev
do not want to accept the suicide theory.
and many contend, in the absence of
positive information as to his death that
he was assaulted and robbed and died
from the injuries received The theories
on which they rest their belief are:
weber had no cause to commit suicide at
the time his body was picked I'D. Manv
canton Masons assert that the records of
thelf order are so complete that Weber's
nome could have been found in a few
hours from insignia on his person. He
was never known to be without dia-
mond ring and SaIght Templar
badge. The emblem of the Scottish Rite
degree Mason on Weber's hand, say Can
ton friends, would have put his BODY into
the hands Of st. Paul Masons at once.
and the identification could have been
soon made. If the ring and charm were
gone when Weber's body was picked ,1p.
this is considered evidence that he was
ioully oealt with. His friends intend to
investigate the matter thoroughly.
Mrs. Weber is bride of a little more
than year and the mother of a two
months old babe. She is prostrated with
grief" "i'-'
The death was not only a clear case Of
suicide in the minds of the local police
but was planned carefully in advance
Weber registered at the Merchants hotel
under an assumed name He had no lew
elry Of any kind, and what money he
had he spent. He was even without an
overcoat, and was seen without the coat
on Wabasha street half an hour or
more before he shot himself
He was found a few minutes after the
shot was heard and while still alive. The
fact that he had carefully cut the letter
out OF his collar and off his shirt shows
that he wanted to conceal his identity.
Nobody but himself had a chance to tam
per with his collar, and nobody had time
to do so.
The Knight Templar charm which ia
referred to was found in his satchel at
the Plankinton house, Milwaukee, but
Weber had not even registered there. Had
not the Satchel check with the letters P
H. been found and traced to the MilWau-
kee hotel, there might have been a uues-
ton as to what had become of his charm.
Still the police think, If he had any other
tewelry, 1t was pawned before he ever
reached st. Paul. Weber may have been
mentally weak at the time of his death
but none of the facts, the local police
say, can possibly be construed to indi-
cate that he met with foul play

Mr.. B. L. Goodkind. Of the firm Of
Mannheimer Bros, returned from the
East yesterday, where he had been for
several weeks buying goods for use in
st. Paul. When seen by a Globe rep
resentative and asked as to the conditions
OF business he said:
Il nave been going to market for twen-
ty-five years and have never seen condi-
tions look so favorable for a good spring
business and future business as well, and
there is a more favorable outlook than
has existed for years past. All the man
ufacturing plants are today taxed to their
utmost capacity for immediate delivery.
Better wages are being paid and a bet
ter class of goods Is being ordered and
goods are higher In consequence.
AS an example, when the agent of
certain house called on us early in the
season l ordered 30G pieces Of certain
line of goods. When l went East I went
to the factory to make arrangements as
to colors and kinds of weave and the
firm was doubtful of letting me have the
goods had ordered and it was only after
some correspondence with their agent
that they would let me in on the ground
moor, Tor those same goods had advanced
three and four cents yard from the time
l had ordered to the time 1 went East
l tried to get more goods of the same
kind, but they refused to take further
! orders, saying they had all the business
they cared for. Manufacturers have add
ed new machinery and yet find it impos-
sible to fill orders Goods are scarce and
wages high with a prospect of going
higher.
New York importers and manufacture
ers claim they have not taken such large
or so many orders in many years as they
have this season.
j have been buying goods for both i'm
mediate use and future delivery and have
placed larger Importation and advance
orders than ever before and have felt
fully justified in doing so. Trade with us
so far this spring has been better than
at any time since we have been in busi-
ness. Had 1t not been for the bad wealth
er and backward spring I can not even
guess at how large the volume of busi-
ness we probably would have done might
have been.
