GRAND CHIEF ORGANIZER.
That Is What Fred Emory Bean Aspires
To Be.
Especial to the Press.1

AUGUSTA, February 24.-Don Powers
came all the way from Houlton, E. C.
SWEET and Bion Wilson travelled up from
Portland, and Kimball Eastman repre-
sented Westbrook at the meeting of the
Democratic braves he re tonight. OF
course the legislative contingent was
well represented. The first thing on the
programme was an interchange of con-
gratulations on the great things they ex-
poet to do at the next state election, and
the gentlemen said they were confident
that the right kind of organization
might make Maine Democratic. Fred
Emory Bean, it is understood. is likely
to be the man to fill the office of grand
chief organizer. After enjoying these
cosy visions, matters before the legisla-
ture were discussed, including the drug
gists' bill, redistricting bill, and bill for
appointment of police commissions.
Editor Drisko of the Machias Union,
favored the druggist bill, and Represen-
tative Cahill told how he would amend
it. Other measures had no friends and
will be made objects of attack in the
legislature.

JOHN w. MAckEY SHOT
BY Hran Whom Stock Speculation Has
Made Insane.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 24.-John
W. Maekey, the famous capitalist, was
shot midway between the shoulder
blades this afternoon in the paved court
back of the Lick house, by William G..
Rippi. AS Mackey turned to face his as
sailant, the latter shot himself through
the breast. Mackey says he never saw
the man before, and knew no cause for
the act.
The shooting was done with an old
fashioned bulldog pistol. The bullet
has been extracted from Mackey's back
and the doctors expect his speedy re-
covery. RipDi is dying at the city hospital.
He is believed to be insane on the sub.
ject of stocks. Everybody who knew
him considered him harmless. About 8
o'clock this morning he left his room
and went down town. He returned an
hour later very despondent. The neigh
| bors say as he passed down the street he
was tearing at his handkerchief with his
| teeth and appeared very much worke
up over something. He remained in his
room about two hours and then went off
down town.
Rippi was born in Cincinnati and left
wife and family there. At one time he
was worth over 100000 and made about
$50, 900 on Comstock. He came to San
Francisco and opened grocery and that
venture failed About four years ago
he was running bar and dining room on
a steamer At one time he lived in Den
yer and owned quite lot of property,
It also went into stock speculations,
Latterly the old man has been almost
without means and very Respondent
When taken to the hospital he was con-
scious, but could not larticulate. Exam
ination revealed that the bullet had en-
tered his left breast and passed through
his trunk, coming out just below the left
shoulder blade. The bullet was found
just under the skin. The patient is appa-
rently about 70 years of age. in his
pocket was found a letter addressed to
Examiner Reading: 'sFood for reflection.
Paid $150,000 dollars for sapphire to
place ON the jaded person of his wife. A
sufficient amount to have saved 500 of his
paupers from suicidal grave. Just
think of it. Inscribe OIL his tomb''
Not since the shooting of Judge Terry
at ,Lathrop by u. S. Deputy Marshal
Nagle, four years ago, has there been
such intense excitement in San Fran
cisco.

fix and limit the compensation OF collec-
tors and surveyors of customs.
Changes in the House of Representatives.
Speaker Crisp has in his private drawer
in the rules committee room number
of plans outlining suggested changes IN
he hall of the House of Re preventative
These plans are due to the necessity for
providing some means for the accommo-
dation of % additional members of the
House who, under the apportionment act
of the last Congress, are entitled to seats
in the SD Congress. Ex-Speaker Reed
and Bourke Cochran of New York are
fathers of the most radical of the plans.
They believe in the system of seating
members on benches, as in the English
Parliament, and removing the desks now
in the House of Representatives.
Under their plan the house would
be not more than half it's present
size. The space thus left would be pro-
yided with reception rooms, Committee
rooms and writing rooms, where mem
bers could retire and attend to CORES
pondence.

Gold Exports Diminish.
Advices received at the treasury show
the export of gold at New YORK tomor-
row will reach only $500,000. This, with
the fact that the government has in
creased its gold holding by $143, 900, leads
to the belief among treasury officials
that the tide has changed.
Hostile to the Treaty.
A very strong feeling of hostil ity to
the Hawaiian treaty is entertained by
some of the leading members of the
House of Representatives.

GENTLEMEN:
Our daughter, twelve years old,
has ALWAYS been sick ffom weakness
of the stomach and limbs; pain
across her back, and general de-
bility have kept her from school.
We could not get help for her from
the several doctors whom we tried.
The countless medicines we bought
gave her no benefit. Her appetite
never was good; all she ste was
few mouthfuls of graham bread af
a meal. Last summer we LOST al
hope, for we were afraid of her
diving of consumption. Six weeks
ago she could not walk two hun
dred yards without getting very
tired. Now she can walk to the
city, two miles, and back, without
the least weariness; her appetite IS
such, she relishes anything hearty
man would wish to eat. For the
first time In her life she knows
what health is.
The mother says, For twenty-five
years I have had severe sick mead
aches. Nothing ever eascd them
until I used
Croder's Syrup,
which has wrought a permanent
cure. No less than sig phyaicians,
and medicines without number, have
failed to help me.
The father speaksi I have had
dyspepsia almost ever since ! can
remember. Of course ! was better
sometimes than others, but I have
always suffered with vomiting, dis
tress in the stomach and bowels,
dizziness, and habitusl constipation
until used Groder's Syrup, which
has cleared my head, given me o
good appetite, and my food does
not distress me. Our statements are
all true, and I am ready to answer
questions concerning them.
