Dan Burns, "the Man From Mexico,
Is Now a Sore-Head.
Sax Francisco, Feb. 3. The Exam
iner this morning prints a statement
over the signature of D. M. Burns, in
which he formally withdraws bis name
from consideration as a candidate for the
office of the United States senator. This

cuses held yesterday, stating that the

which harmonized on Bard, virtually
controlled the action of the full caucus,
and abridged the right of individual
members to vote as thev pleased. He
states that a hearing was refused a com
mittee of his supporters, but. without
comment states that he Is a loyal Re
publican, and submits the matter to the
party for consideration.

The claim of other cougli medicines to
be as good as Chamberlain's are effectu
ally set at rest in the following testi
monial of Mr. C. D. Glass, an employe
of Bartlett & Dennis Co., Gardiner, Me.
He Bays: "I hud kept adding to a cold
and cough in tho winter of 1S97, trying
every cougli medicine I heard of without
permanent help, until one day I was in
the drug store of Mr. Houlehan and he
advised me to try Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and offered to pay back my
money if I was not cured. My lungs and
bronchial tubes were very sore at this
time, but I was completely cured by
this remedy, and have since always
turned to it when 1 got a cold, and soon
find relief. I also recommend it to my
friends and am glad to say it is the best
of all cough medicines." For sale by

IS DEAD
Assassin's BtUlet Ended His Life at

SCENES IN
DEATH CHAMBER
A Brother and Sister Were Present
Another Brother Arrived a Few
Minutes Too Late.
Fka.vkfokt, Ky., Feb. 3. The bullet
fired by an unknown assassin laBt Tues
day morning ended the life of William
Goebel at 0:45 this evening. The only
persons present at the deathbed were
Mr. Goebel's sister, Mrs. Brawnecker,
and bis brother,. Arthur Goebel, of
Cincinnati, who have been in constant
attendance at Mr. Goebel's bedside, and
Dr. McCormack. JuBtus Goebel. a
brother, who has been hurrying from
Arizona as fast as steam would carry in
a vain hope of reaching his dying brother
in time for some token of recognition,
arrived forty minutes too late.
Oxygen was frequently administered
to the dying man during the afternoon
in an effort to keep him alive until his
brother's arrival, but in vain, for by the
cruel irony of fate, the train on which
Justus Goebel was traveling to Frankfort
was delayed several hours from various
causes, and when Mr. Goebel finally
reached here it a onlv to learn that his
brother was dead.
Among bitter partisans of both parties
deep grief is manifested, and already a
movement has been Btarted to erect a
fining monument for Mr
memory on the spot in the
Goebel's
etatehouse
grounds where he was shoe.
No arrangements have ns yet been
made for the' funeral. Plunged in grief
and locked in the death chamber of
their brother, Arthur and Justu3 Goebel
and Mrs. Brawnecker have given no in
timation of their ishes, and no arrange
ments will be made until tomorrow. It
is understood that a request will be made
on behalf of the citizens of Frankfort
that Mr. Goobel's last resting place be
In the cemetery here, where lie burled
Daniel Boone and Vice-President
Johnson.
