temple and fired. Heney fell over on
the desk, the blood streaming from his
wound. Haas was Immediately seized
by bystanders.
When he was arrested, Haas said
he shot Heney because he had ruined
him. He is married man and has
four children. In statement made
to Police Captain Duke, he said:
'Heney denounced me in public,
which ruined my life and branded
me as an ex-convict 1t was an out
rage. l am the wronged man. do
not care what becomes of me now. l
have sacrificed myself not for my own
honor. but for those who are situated
like myself. BY God, would not
have brought my four children into
the world to bear such brand If l
had known that the fact that l was
an ex-convict would become known.
Heney ruined me. That is why l shot
him."
When Heney fell to tho floor, shot
through the temple. there was an i'm
mediate rush for the assassin who
was quickly subdued. DR.. H. A. Nnck
happened to be in the building at the
time, and rushed to Heneys assist
ance. After hurried examination of
the wound DR.. Finck said that Heney
could not live. Heney was still con-
scious. Although two body guards
who have been constantly employed
to protect Heney were within six feet
of him. Haas pulled his revolver and
fired the shot before anyone in the
court room realized what was being
done.
An Associated Press reporter was
standing within foot of Heney when
the shot was fired and helped catch
him as he fell.
Haas, in the second Ruef trial, had
been passed as juryman when one
day in court Heney dramatically pro-
duced photograph of him taken at
San Quentin penitentiary taken in
convicts garb and cropped head and
with his number across his breast.
Haas collapsed in court, admitting he
had been convict and was immedi-
ately discharged from the jury. Haas
stated after the shooting:
"Heney exposed my record in court
and ruined my business. l am even
with him now and l do not care what
happens to me-"
The news of the shooting spread
rapidly and an immense crowd gath
cred around the hall. A large force
of police headed by Chief Biggy sur
rounded the building in which court
was held and kept the crowd back. A
number of arrests were made by the
police who took into custody men who
were suspected of being there for the
purpose of creating trouble.

Getting Better
PRosPERITY's PROGRESS
More Men and More Plants in Opera
ton Daily


New York Nov. 14.-Factories in
this city are beginning to hum under
the burden Of increased orders. In
qulry among manufacturers on the
west side from Fourteenth street
down to Bleecher street yesterday
made. it clear that practically all lines
of industries were feeling the impetus
of awakening commerce.
Big factories, like that Of the Am
erican Can company, reported increas-
ing business. They are going ahead
on the expectation that still more
business will come in.
Several factories that had not suf-
fered to any extent in the last year
pointed out that in the last three or
four weeks their business had grown.
Many more men have been employed
within the last two weeks, and manu-
facturers said they expected to hire
still more in the coming winter.
An official of the American Can
company said: "Our business is al
most normal now. In the last three
or four weeks there has been grad
ual improvement and we expect to
do still more business. We have put
more men to work in practically all
our forty factories, and as the gen.
eral line business, or orders from
various small manufacturers, come
in we will hire more men.
Our orders have not increased In
number. The individual orders sim
ply have been larger, showing that
our customers are doing a heavier
business"
The Western Electrical company
which employs in normal time 10000
men In its large factories here and in
Chicago, reported increasing business.
Business Normal.
That concern has recently received
orders from the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany. the Pittsburg Plate Glass COM
pany, the United States steel corpor-
alton and ether concerns. 1t has
under negotiation several other large
orders. Gerard Swope, general sales
man Of the company, said: Industrial
plants throughout the country are
getting gradually ready to do an in
creased business. They have been in
stalling new machinery.
Many of those orders have come to
US. Telephone companies also have
given large orders. a.
Eve had several orders CONTINGENT
on the election. Most of our big work
has been transferred to our Chicago
plants but we have employed more
men here. and, judging from condi-
tions, We shall be forced to put still
more men on. The confidence inspir-
ed by Taft's election is felt in every
line and has helped u.s."
Piano Trade Good.
Frank L. Wing of Wing & Co., pi-
ano makers, said: "In the last few
weeks we have observed growth of
confidence and increased business. So
confident are we of the development
of the country that we are running
our factory to capacity.
1--WE intend to branch out in the
future and do more advertising, be-
cause from the inquiries we recently
have received we know that people
are ready to spend more money"
The Union Drawn Steel company,
with mills In Beaver Falls, Pa, has
been doing q gradually better busi-
ness since the beginning Of the year
through Its eastern branch here.

company said: Our business In Oc-

Kidney Complaints.

Kidney diseases are generally found
In persons whose blood is impover-
tshed or impure, and whose nerves
have not sufficient power or force to
make the kidneys perform their prop
er functions.
The duty OF the kidneys is to filter
the blood, and when this fluid is filed
with uric acid and malarial poisons
they become oyerburdened with ex-
ira work. When the nerves are not
strong, they fail to supply the power
to do this work; then the kidneys be-
come clogged and disease sets in.
Kidney complaints usually commence
with cold chills, especially in the back
and loins, followed with fever and
pain. The pain extends to the blad-
der, loins and thighs. The urine be-
comes highly colored or extremely
light. 1t sometimes looks red or
blood-lIke, with a brick dust sedi-
ment after standing; or it may be
etringy or milky and filed with aIbu-
men, the most vital element of the
body.
When these conditions are allowed
TO continue they result in one or
more Of b q following conditions:
Lewiston evening teller., 1908-02-07

Backache, Weak Back, Rheumatism,
Diabetes, Bright's Disease, Gravel,
G tout, Irritation of the bladder,
Scalding Urine, Swelling OF the Ank-
les, Dropsy, or some other form Of
Kidney or Urinary Trouble.
DeBell's Kidney Pills have direct
and specific action in all forms OF
Kidney, Bladder and Urinary trouble
and it is the only remedy which gives
the kidneys strength to cast off all
poisonous matter from the blood,
thus stopping the cause of diseases
OF this nature.
Try DeBell's Kidney Pills. We
claim they are par excellence-the
most thorough, rapid and effective
treatment ever prepared for the cure
of kidney trouble and we say it be-
cause of the results obtained by their
use. They speak for themselves; all
we ask is to give them n chance to
cure you, the one who suffers.
Rid yourself once and forever, by a
treatment that you know will cure
you and come again into your own
good cheer. contentment,
energy, ambition, hope, new life and
perfect energy.
