WERNER BROS BARGAINS.
Finest of Goods Selling at Pho
nomenally Low Prices.

Crowds Of bargain hunters were thronging
Werner Bros big haberdashery, at Sew
enth and Olive streets, yesterday. All lines
OF goods were going at phenOmenally low
prices, and even the closest OF buyers were
more than pleased that the wonderful win
dow displays had led them into the store.
Every person who entered made a purchase
and went away delighted that his necessity
had been procured for SO small an expen-
diture OF money
Werner Bros. do not believe in carrying
goods in stock from one season to another:
Consequently the present sale, which will
continue throughout the week. was inaugu-
rated. Everything was marked down from
30 TO so per cent. No difference was made
between fancy and plain patterns. All alike
were put down TO startlingly low prices. so
low, indeed, that II seems impossible TO sell
with profit at such a rate. But these things
were not considered. The fan and winter
stock had to be cleared out to make way
for spring importations, n such steps
were taken as to make IL a surety that II
will be cleared out.
As is well known, Werner Bros. handle
none but the very latest IN fashionable ap-
parel. Also their stock ever includes every
article of a mans dress. At present a person
can ut himself out there from head to foot
with lastly made clothing. Ties, collars.
socks, shirts, underwear, umbrellas. hats
and ready-made suits Of the best quality
may be procured at one-half the expendi-
ture which the same articles would have
cost a week ago

SUDDEN DEATH TO
Be INVESTIGATED,
Robert Sheldon, Who Expired in 9
Shoe Factory, Was Shot
Several Weeks Ago.

Coroner Funkhouser and the police are
investigating the death OF Robert Sheldon.
an employe Of the Home Shoe Company,
who dropped dead suddenly yesterday. about
noon. in the factory at No. 1874 North Thir-
tenth street.
A shooting a month and a half ago. # IS
thought. may have rad something to do
with his death.
Sheldon, who was Is years old, lived with
his mother and sister at No. 1896 Division
street. When he left home yesterday morn
ing to go to work he apparently was well
and strong. Shortly before noon yesterday.
while he was at work on the second floor,
he suddenly fell to the floor unconscious.
Companions stretched him out full length
on the floor and summoned an ambulance
from the City Dispensary. Sheldon was
hurried to the City Hospital. but when he
reached there Doctor Nietert. the Super
intendent, pronounced life extinct The body
was then taken to the morgue.
Two hours after Its arrival mother and
sister called to view it. There was a pa.
thetic scene. The mother grew SO violent
she had to be restrained. Doctor Nietert
thought hat death probably was due TO
heart failure. A post-niortsm examination
will be held to-day TO decide positively.
More than a month ago Sheldon was shot
In the forehead by Dan Me1ley, a saloon
keeper, at No. 1925 Cass avenue Sheldon
was passing the place and heard shooting.
He rushed in to see What was up. lIealey
was shooting at a man rauled Weatherby.
one of the bullets struck Sheldon in the
forehead. in1ic-ing what vas thought at
the time 20 lie a serious injury. While
he was in bed the police procured a war

sary proclamation The Judges therefore
gave instructions accordingly in the cases

pany. IN action for damages for alleged
personal injuries. tried In Judge Fishers
court a verdict was rendered by nine of the

Judge Shepard Barclay. who defended the
case, objected to the giving of the instruc-
ton and to the verdict, n asked that he
be allowed to embody his objections In a

A young man, who has not been identl-
fed. committed suicide at $50 o'clock yes
terday morning by leaping into the river

Twice " rose 20 the surface of the water
and struggled as If he had changed his res
olution to die. but before assistance could

There is little clew to the suicides iden-
tity. He was rather handsome. wore neat
hitting clothing OF fashionable cut. He was
about q years old. five feet six or seven
inches tall. smooth shaver, and wore a
dark suit and derby hat
At $50 o'clock yesterday morning he
boarded an eastbound bridge car in charge
OF Conductor William Compton at Third
street and Washington avenue. Five min
utes afterwards Compton passed through
the car to collect the fares. The young
man. who sat in a rear seat. haDded the
conductor a nickel. but Compton told the
young fellow that the fare was 10 cents.
Il beg your pardon" replied the pas
senger. as he produced a dime 81 thought
the fare was only ) cents"
In the middle of the bridge the young man
aligffted from the car, ran TO the south
side of the bridge and, climbing over the

Directors KOber and Davis Sue to
Gust Directors Hill and
Forshaw.
DECLARE ELECTION ILLEGAL.
Petition Charges That General
Billy Ryder Was Retained at
the Time to Pack the
Meeting.

Suit was fled In the Circuit Court yester-
day afternoon by Attorney John I. Nc
Dermott on behalf OF Louis Kober and L.
H. Davis. to declare the election Of Doctor
W. Z. Hill and Joseph Forshaw to the
Board OF Directors of the How fund Illegal.
and to have the Offices declared vacant.
kober Is the representative Of the Cen
trial Trades and Labor Union. The legal
proceeding is the direct outcome OF the last
wrangle in Reform Hall Monday night.
At the meeting Of the board Monday cv-
ening the two factions led by Hill and
Kober broke even. Kober scored first In
the passage of a resolution directing the
payment OF s25 annually TO the Colored Or
phnns' Home. a measure which had Teen
voted down at a former meeting by the
Hill element. In support of his motion
Kober said that ne did not care whether
he sat next a white man or a black man
or a yellow man II he had a comfortable
chair.
Hill succeeded In passing a resolution
limiting the franchise to members OF the
association who paid one-twentieth the
price of a glass OF beer each day into the
treasury. This would amount to about
one dollar annually. Kober said the price
OF beer had nothing TO do with a mans
voting capacity.
Then arose a question OF the associations
financial status. Mr.. How confirmed the
report that he had withdrawn the support
of the association. He said that he did
not do It. the people ordered II. No one
present was able 20 answer HIS query,
who are the peopieT'
President Forshaw had q card up his
sleeve in the form of a proxy from Director
Henry Priesmayer. kober said such cards
were barred. Forshaw Produced the stat
utes OF Missouri in two volumes. Kober
replied that moral law and the law OF the
Trades and Labor Union. OF which he is
delegate. were above the statutes OF Mis-
souri,.
The meeting adjourned amid applause
and objections from the gallery. Reform
