Special Clean-Up Sale of Drapery and Upholstery Fabrics FIFTH AND BODY TO BE EXHUMED COROXEIt TO BE CERTAIN OF CAUSE OP SUDDEN DEATH. Morphine Tablet Now "figure In Case at St- Johns Sc'hnltz' Blood Black, Says Rudolph Moser. The bory of Ernest Ferdinand Schultz. who died June 2$ at the home of Rudolph Moser, 909 Portland boule vard. St. Johns, Is to be exhumed. by order of Coroner Xorden who wishes to satisfy himself aa to whether death was due to poison. A. H. Blackburn, the St. Johns undertaker who Interred the remains. Is said to have declared that the blood was poisoned. Rudolph Moser. who credits this statement to the undertaker, declares that the blood was as black as Ink. Investigation made by County De tective Maher yesterday tends to ex onerate Mr. Moser, who. Rev. C. Biechler and members of his congre gation Insinuated, knew something; more of the reasons for the sudden death of Schultx than had been made public. Mr. Moser declares that Schultx died within a ahort time of taking tablets, which he exhibits and which appear to be morphine tablets said to have .been given him by Jjr. a. w Vincent. "I hate to give you these but If It eta very bad take one." Mr. Moser aid the physician aald to Schultz. Mr. Moser also declares that the proprie tress of the Chicago lodging house told him the day Schultz left that es tablishment to take up his residence at tha Moser home, three days"before his death, that Schultz could live only a few days. She -Is said to have quoted Dr. Vincent as authority for this state ment. "Mr. Buechler Is mistaken when he says that I toid him Schultz had $300 when he died." Mr. Moser said yester day. "If my father said anything about I&00. as they say he did. he probably meant that Schultz had said something about sending that amount to relatives in Russia about four or five months ago. My father does not speak good English and it is likely that they did not understand what he meant We found $104.50 In a purse under Schultz's pillow after ,be died." Mr. Moser pleads Ignorance of the laws as n excuse for his failure to notify tbe authorities of the death of Schultz and of the property he had left. He declared that he used all Schultz' money and $23.75 of his own In paying for the burial of Schultz and Incidental expense. - The death certificate signed by Dr. A. W. Vincent gives valvular heart dis ease as the causo of death and men tions asthma as a contributory cause. County Detective Maher has obtained what was left of the powders, pills and rapaules prescribed for Schultz by Dr. Vincent and will have them analyzed. Everything Indicates, however, that Schultz waa In poor physical condition and fas nearlng death. Mr. MoCer says that Schultz suffered great agony a( nights. He also says that Under taker Blackburn aald, when preparing the body of Schultz for buria1. that there was a large clot of blood over the heart.

Bad Complexion Cosmetics can never really help a poor complexion; often they are posi tively harmful. The sensible, rational way is to actua)ly remove the. thin veil of stifling, half-dead scarf ekln from the face and give the fresh, vig orous and beautiful young akin un dermeath a chance to show Itself and to breathe. This Is best done In a very simple way. by merely applying mercollzed wax at night, like cold cream, and washing It off In the morning. Good mercollzed wax can be obtained from any well stocked druggist. It absorbs the disfiguring cuticle gradually and harmlessly, leaving a brilliant natural complexion.

VANCOUVER. Wash., July 15. (Spe cial.) Having1 a belief that a suicide would be forgiven for hi crime quicker than a murderer, and that the penalty would be less, and declaring himself unable to keep himself from commit ting" one or the other deeds, Jen P. M. Soeby, a Spanish-American War vet eran and flshermanT chose the lesser evil, and killed himself yesterday, by shooting himself In the head with a shotgun, on his famous floating farm near Fellda. The floating farm was built on three large rafts and scows. On each one he built a house, a lodging-house for transient fishermen, his own, home, a warehouse for storing nets and fishing paraphernalia, a chicken house with yard for them to run In; a large gar den In which he raised; all manner of truck vegetables and fruits. In one house he gave music lessons, being an unusually good violinist, and his wife sewed. Soeby, a noted character, gained much notoriety last November, when it required a steamboat and a dozen men to eject him. and move his houseboat and farm from the land of C. E.

FIFTH in Buchmler's Slough. De Long had' a judgment for about $15 against Soeby, and as Soeby refused to pay. the Su perior Court ordered him to be forcibly ejected. Recently, It seems, mlschieyious per, sons have been pulling up Soeby's an chors, and permitting his farm to float to shore, and if he did not watch close ly, he would be left high and dry on the bank with all of his worldly pos sessions, farm and all, and he would have been a trespasser. Yesterday he found he was on the bank apd worked far into the night, with the assistance of W. F. Simpson, a neighbor, in a vain effort to get the farm back to its moor ings in the river. Worry is believed to have been the cause of death. The funeral will be- held Sunday afternoon under the auspices of tue Spanish-American War veterans. Soeby was 51 years old, and was a member of the Fourteenth Infantry, which saw much service In the Philippines. Re turning from the service in 1904. Soeby went to Portland and later to the Wil lamette Valley, and then to Clark County. Besides his wife, he Is sur vived by two brothers In South Dakota.
