AND ACCEPT DEMOCRATIC AID Apportionment Promises to Develop a Fight in the|Thousands of Women Have Kidney Trouble Republican Majoritu at Sacramento. ALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 9.—Early in the ses- sion a.meeting of Assemblymen from the northern and central counties of the State was called by Assemblyman Duryea as a re- sult of the idea that something should be done to offset the combinations that were being made in the south. Noth- ing was done at the meeting beyond dis- cussing the situation, and when the con- ference adjourned it was the general im- pression that, having made their demon- stration and declared themselves, the | northern counties would be let alone. It was understood that should another meet- ing become necessary the Democrats of both houses and the Senators from the northern Gistricts would be zsked tu join. That meeting is now being discussed, and plans are being laid to have it called long enough before the taking up of the apportionment measures to have some ef- fect upon their consideration. The agita- tion has been aroused by the proposed plan to take from Sacramento one of her Assemblymen. The Sacramento delega- tion in the Assembly has not appeared actively as yet in the calls for a meetin, but it is ready to join as soon as the pro ject takes shape. Grove Johnson has as. sured one of the Assemblymen from the north that he would join heart and soul in any such movement, and it was pre- sumed at the time that he spcke for his colleagues. Should the combination be made accord- ing to present plans, the supporters of the movement claim, they will have twenty- two or twenty-five votes in the Assembly anyway, and possibly thirty. They be- lieve they can obtain the support of the | Alameda delegation, for the northern counties have been in sympathy with the efforts of Alameda to get an exira Assem- blyman. and, so far as apportionment is concerned, their interests are very much alike. The Democrats have favored such a combination, particularly those from the ies farthest north, and many of them have signified their willingness to stand in with any such scheme. In the general redistricting the only chance the Demo- crats can have is Ly some such scheme, and so their assisiance and support are looked for. There is more than the single Assem- blyman from Sacramento that is bother- ing the northern part of the State, for there is r tha: Humboldt also’ will lose a legislator.

The Grant has been engaged in searching for some evidence of the fate of the British which, after arriving off the Columbia River and taking aboard a pilot, was blown off shore and has never | since been heard of. The cutter made the entire circuit of Vancouver Island,| and during the vovage found evidence that leaves no doubt of the loss of the Andrada, a boat's signboard badly bat- tered and bearing her name having been | picked up early in the cruise at Carma- | nah. The fate of Andrada was revealed by | Indians and also by a trader at Clayoquat | Sound, who reported to Captaln Tosier | that on January 24 a big ship was sighted | a few miles shore on her beam ends, | and that seas were breaking over her. No sign of life was visible on the unfor- tunate vessel. A high surf was rolling on | the beach, which prevented the Indians | going out, but next day several canoes | | put out ‘ana after twelve hours' search | | no trace of the craft | could be found. From the description of the vessel given | by the Indians she is believed to have been the Andrada. The Grant cruised | calling | at all places where there was-a habita- tion. The entire beach was strewn with wreckage, which was demolished so that | nothing in the way of identification could | be found. On January 22 a wreckage | came ashore on Table Island, off Kyo- | quok Sound, which indicated that a vessel | carrying a general cargo had come to | grief. The wreckage consisted of canned | goods and lumber, but nothing was found | indicating the name of the vessel from which the wreckage came. The most remarkable discovery made by the Grant was a three-masted schooner, high and dry on the beaeh, three miles west of Clyoose village, on an isolated In- dian habitation. No record of the strand- ing of the vessel or the fate of the crew is known. Captain Tosier says the Indians claim for some time. A heavy surf prevented the Grant landing a boat to investigate and ascertain the name-of the craft. The Indians also told of having picke: up a ring buoy, marked_ “Ilala, Liverpool The Tiala salled frém London, on June S, for Vancouver, B. C.

SEATTLE, Feb. 9.—While attempting to cross to West Seattle, Thomas Crawford, first mate of the wheat ship Yosemite, was drowned at an early hour this morn- ing. He fell from the railroad trestie leading across the tide flets in the south- | ern part of the bay, and his body was | found this atternoon in two fec of water. | Crawford and a shipmate named Nelson | spent the early part of the evening in Seattle, and when shortly after rplrlnl?hl they started to return to their ship, which is at anchor near West Seattle, both were considerably intoxicated. They -had left | their boat tied to the piling near the rail- road trestle. While Neison went for it Crawford sat down on the trestle, and it is believed that he went to sleep. When Nelson returned with the boat he had dis- appeared. $ rawford had been sailing on deep sea wvessels, both on this and the Atlantic coast, for a number of years. Pretty Santa Cruz Wedding. SANTA CRUZ, Feb. 9.—The prettiest wedding_of the scason was solemnized to day at 1 o'clock, when Miss Edith May Weldon was married at the home of her aunt, Mrs. A. J. Hinds, to kimer Ells- worth Nichols, principal of the Lorin Grammar School. Rev. J. R. Knodell of the Congregational Church officiated. The bride was attended by her sisters. Misses Henrietta and Isabel Weldon. The ribbon bearers were Douglas and Clifton Miller. The couple stood in the bay-win- | dow of the drawing-room under hearts of daisies. The drawing-room was pink and green. The dining-room was decor- ated in the Berkeley colors. Blue and 0ld acacia, daffodils and masses of vio- ets were used, WOUNDS A HORSE IN KILLING Alameda Trustees Are Sent a Bill for Injured Animal ALAMEDA, Feb. 9.—Policeman George MacRae of the Alameda police force shot and killed Myron Brown last October, and at the same time shot and badly wounded the horse' that Brown and several com- panions were driving. It is costing the city a lot of money to defend MacRae on the mugder charge which has been made against him, and now it will have to pay 323 to the owner of the horse that MacRae so badly wounded. Other complications taln:inkely to arise before the thing is set- 2 MacRae's aim was bad the night he shot Brown for resisting him. He fired two or three shots, one accidentally striking Brown. Another hit the horse in the haunches, inflicting a serious wound. It was a valuable animal. and the owner. Thomas McKenzie of Oakland, did not care to lose it. So he hired a veterinary surgeon, who extracted the bullet and kept the horse under his care for several weeks, untll it got well, charging accord- ingly. At last night's meeting of the Board of Trustees, McKenzle's claim against the city for $23 damages for veterinary hire ,was read. but it was rejected by the unan- imous vote of the members. None of them could see exactly why the claim should be made against the city. They thought Of- ficer MacRae ought to pay it out of his own pocket. It is understood that unless the City Trustees pay the bill suit will be brought. INQUEST HELD ON HENDERSON’'S REMAINS Verdict of Coronzr’s Jury Confirms Story of Suicide Told by In- tended Victim. OAKLAND, Feb. 9.—Coroner Mehrmann held an inquest to-night over the remains of Burton K. Henderson, who committed suicide at the Ross House Thursday night after shooting Miss Fannie O'Neil. The testimony before the jury was the same as already given by parties connect- ed with the tragedy. Miss O'Nelil's tes- timony was read from her deposition, tak- n at the hospital where she is undergoing treatment for the wound inflicted by Hen- derson’s pistol. The verdict ascribes Henderson's death to a gunshot wound in the brain, inflicted by himself with suicidal intent ————————— = SIR WILFRID LAURIER WILL VISIt DAWSONW Premier of Canada Will Come to San Francisco After Going to Klondike.

URGE LOS ANGELES MEMBERS TO OPPOSE SENATE BILL NO. 351 LOS ANGELES, Feb. 9.—Strong opposi- tion is shown by the Merchants’ and Man- ufacturers’ Association and by the Board of Trade against Senate bill 31, which provides that every article manufactured in this State shall bear the imprint of the maker. Secretary Zeehandelaar of the Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Associa- tion lelegrafhcd to Sacramento to-day: “Senate bill No. 351 and iike bill in the Assembly instead of being a protection to the producis of home manufacturers is a serious blow to all industries in this State. The measure {s entirely too sweeping in its provisions, and we_ strongly protest against its passage. The export of our manufactured products would be seriously injured. Please show this to the Southern California delegation and ask them to vote against the bill.” e SR FAVORS THE PLAN TO DO AWAY WITH RIPARIAN RIGHTS CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 9.—The Assembly Commil- tee on Irrigation met to-day and passed favorably upon Melick’s coOnstitutional amendment No. 22, which does away with riparian rights and puts the water of all streams under public control. The amend- ment is as follows: The water of all streams shall forever re- main subject to public control. Beneficlal use shal! bs the basis, the measure and the limit of all rights to water. The right to water for irrigation vests in the user and becomes ap- purtenant to the land irrigated. Water for irrigation is hereby declared to be a natural ‘want. The amendment is submitted in the form of a new section, known as ‘“section 37, article 14, of the constitution of the State of California.” A similar Jaw is said to be working well in Colorado and Wyom- ing. Nutt's Senate bill 151, providing a means whereby lrrlg?lmn districty may settle with their creditors for less than 100 cents on the dollar will be recommended by | the committee for passage. Milice's bill to pro zation and disorganization of districts will be reported back without recommendation and James’ bill on the same subject, Assembly bill 113, will be recommended for withdrawal by the author. Myers' Asembly bill d Stewart’s (of San Diego) Assembly bill 359, on similar subjects, will be reported back without recommendation. INHERITANCE TX OF VANDERBILTS Amount Agreed - Upon by All Parties Is More Than $300,000. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—The heirs of Cor- | nellus Vanderbilt have been served with notices calling upon them to pay into the Siate treasury the amount of thelr in- heritance tax. The total tax on the per- sonal estate of the millionaire agreed vpon between the representatives of the State Controller, Surrogate Fitzgerald end Anderson & Anderson, attorneys for the Vanderbilts, amounts to $324,960 73. This is exclusive of the residuary es- tate, about the taxing of which a con- test is threatened. The official statement of the amount of the tax to be paid by each beneficiary shows that the Surr gate has decided in favor of the atto neys for the estate and excludes the r slauary estate from the present taxation. It this_decision is sustained Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, residuary _legatee, will be benetited by the interest for seven years on the 1 per cent tax on the resid- uary estate of $22,489,561. _————_———— ADVERTISEMENTS. | THE ROOT OF THE MATTER. He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach Trouble Down to First Principles. A man of large affairs in one of our prominent Eastern cities by too close at- | tention to business, too little exercise and too many club dinners, finally began to pay nature's tax, levied in the form of chronfc siumach trouble; the fallure of his digestion brought about a nervous ir- ritabiiity, making it impossible to appi, himself to his_daily business and finally deranging the kidneys and heart. In his own words he says: “I consulted one physician after another and each one seemed to understand my case, but all the same they each failed to bring about the return of my former digestion, appetite anA vigor. For two years I went from piliar to post, from one sanitarfum to an- o' . v, 1 gave up smoking, I quit coffee @ .} even renounced my daily glass or two ! eer, but without any marked improve- 1 ot “Friends had often advised me to try a well known proprietary medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and I had often perused the newpaper advertisements of the remedy, but never took any stock in advertised medicines nor could believe a 50-cent patent medicine would touch my case. “To make a lon; bought a couple of packages at the nea’ est drug store and took two or thi.. tablets after each meal and occasionally a tablet between meals, when I felt any feeling of nausea or discomfort. “‘1 was surprised at the end of the first week to note a marked improvement in my appetite and general health and be- fore the two packages were gone I was certain that Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets were going to cure completely and th.v did not disappoint me. I can eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and cigar and no one would suppose I had ever known the horrors of dyspepsia. ‘“‘Out of friendly curiosity I wrote to the roprietors of the remedy asking for in- ormation as to what the tablets con- talned and they replied that the principal ingredients were aseptic pepsin (Govern- ment test), malt dlastase and otHer natural digestives, w..ich digest food re- gardless of the condition of the stomach.” The root of the matter is this, the diges- tive elements contained in Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets will digest the food, give the overworked stomach a chance to re- cuperate and the nerves and whole system recelve the nourishment which can only come from food; stimulants and nerve tonics never give real strength, they give a fictitious strength, invariably followed by reaction. Every drop of biood, every nerve and tissue iS manufactured from our daily food, and if you can insure its prompt actlon and complete digestion by the regular use of so g0od and wholesome a remedy as Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. you will have no need of nerve tonics or sanitariums.

It is a boon to the weak and alling. Among the many famous cures of Swamp-Root investigated by The Call, none seem to speak higher of the wonder- | ful curative properties of this great kid- | ney remedy than the one we publish this | week for the benefit of our rpaders. Mrs. H Wheeler of 117 IKKH Rock St., Lynn, Mass., writes on Nov. 2, 1900: “'About 18 months ago I had a very severe spell of sickness. I was extremely sick dor three weeks, and when I finally was abl®to leave my bed T was left with excrutiating pains in my back. My water at times looked very like coffee. I could pass but little at a time, and then only after suffering great pain. My phy- steal condition was such that I had no strength and was all run down. The doctors said my | kidneys were not affected, and while I Did Not K~ow | Had Kidney Trouble, I somehow felt certain that my kidneys were | the cause of my trouble. My sister, Mrs. C. E. Littlefleld, of Lynn, advised me to give Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root a trial. I procured a bottle and inside of three days commenced to get relief. T followed up that bottle with another. and at the completion of this one found I was completely cured. My strength returned and to-day I am as well as ever. My business s that of canvasser, I am on my feet a great deal of the time, and have to use much enerzy in getting around. My cure is there- fore all the more remarkable, and Is exceed- ingly gratifying to me.” MRS. H. N. WHEELER. | Swamp-Root will do just as much for | any housewife whose back is too weak to perform her necessary work, who Is {How to Find Out MRS. H. N. WHEELER. It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys. but now modern sclence proves that nearly all If You Need diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. | Swamp-ROOt' The kidneys filter and purify the blood—that is their work. So when your kidneys are weak or out of order you can understand how quickly your entire body s affected, and how every organ seems to fail to do its | duty. If you are sick or “feel badly,” begin taking the famous new discovery, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all | the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. Many women suffer untold misery because the nature of their disease is not | correctly understood. They are led to believe that womb trouble or female weak- ness of some sort is responsible for the many ills that beset womankind. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheu- matism, a dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weakness or bearing down sensa- tion, profuse or scanty supply of urine, with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it night or day, with scalding or burning sensation—these are all unmistakable signs of kidney and bladder trouble. If there is any doubt in your mind as to your condition, take from your urine on rising about four ounces, piace it in a glass or bottle and let it stand twenty-four | hours. If on examination it is milky or cloudy, if there is a brick-dust settling, or { 1 sman particles float about in it, your kidneys are in need of immediate attention. Other symptoms showing that you need Swamp-Root are sleeplessness, dizzi- ness, irregular heart, breathlessness, sallow, unhealthy complexion, plenty of am- bition but no strength. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and i{s used in the leading hospitals, recom- mended by physicians in their private practice. and is taken by doctors them- | selves, because they recognize in it the greatest and most successful remedy that science has ever been able to compound. If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root {s what you need, you can pur- chase the regular fifty-cent and one-dollar bottles at the drug stores evervwhere.
