A BROOK VETERAN.
The Demon SteeIhead of the Lagu-
nitas Has Been Caught at
Last.

In a deep, dark pool of the Lagunitas
not quarter of mile from the bridge at
Tocaloma turks big steelhead, one of the
most aggravating and uncertain of fish.
He was discovered by Ed Bosqui, who took
a cast for him, hooked and lost him. This
tale of the fish Mr.. Bosqui told to John
Cadman, himself an angler of skill and
pertinacity. Mr.. Cadman tried for the fish,
and with the usual result.
The cunning hermit of the pool staid
Just long enough with Mr.. Cadman to
break his tackle. He informed other ang-
lers of the incident, and since the opening
of the season it has been the regular thing
for fishermen to give the steelhead a rally,
hook and loose him. A singular trait in
the character of this fish was that he never
refused call. No matter who appeared on
the bank the veriest tyro with pole of
willow or an expert with an expensive
bamboo, the complacent steelhead came to
the surface and took hold, apparently en-
joying a short run with the hook in his
gills. and smashing things generally when
he thought the fun had gone far enough.
1t was Mr.. Ireland's good fortune to
catch this fish. Not for keeps, however,
for the big fellow is back again in his old
hole. He was scratching himself in a
rapid when Mr.. Ireland nabbed him-not
with hook and line, but by putting his
hands quickly under him, and casting him
ashore. The fish was. SCARED from head
TO tail, and had leaders tangled in him,
and hooks enough In all parts of his body
to start small tackle-shop.
He was the ugliest, meanest looking var

Quite ANOTHER THING.
Wherein a Common Cold Is Worse
Than the Contagious We Dread.

Wherein a Common Cold Is Worse
Than the ntagions We Dread.
A man once over typhoid or scarlet fever has
the consolation OF knowing that the chances
are against recurrence of the attack. It's
different with the common nuisance we call
catching cold: one fit of coughing, smiling and
sneezing is no guarantee against another.
One may have indefinite colds unless he takes
proper precautions, and each attack leaves him
little weaker than he was before.
What, then, is the safeguard against cold at
this tickle and treacherous time of year? Sci
ence and common-sense reply: Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey. Why? Because it warns and
strengthens. 1t retards the decay of tissue, in
creases the power to assimilate food and over
come WEAKNESS of the nerves. 1t stirs the
energies of the body, SO that cold can no more
get hold than horse with dull shoes can
get firm footing on ice.
No matter what the almanac says about
spring. 1t is the season OF colds because few
sunlit hours tempt even prudent people to be
reckless about their health. Keep the counsel
just given in your memory, and keep bottle
of Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey on the shelf
where you can get it when a little shiver or g
tickling cough warns you that colds are Turk.

RIGHTS ON ELK RIVER.
The Supreme Court Gives Them It's
Close Consid Grafton.

The Supreme Court Gives Them It's
Close Consideration.
The Supreme Court yesterday handed
down an exhaustive opinion on the rights
OF riparian owners on the Elk River. The
opinion, or rather two opinions, affirmed
the ruling of the lower court.
The case was entitled, "The People by
relation of the Kicks Water Company VS..
the Elk River Mill and Lumber Company"
1t was an action to restrain the defendant
from polluting the waters of Elk River,
from which the Kicks Water Company OBJ
tains water to sell to the inhabitants of
Eureka.
The complaint charged the defendant
with polluting the river in five ways, viz,
~ by maintaining its barns, slaughter
house, corral and stables too near the
stream; (2) by maintaining offices so that
their drainage flows into the stream (3)
by allowing sawdust to find its way into
the stream; a. by discharging refuse from
its kitchens and 60 by impounding logs
which exude coloring matter etc.
Upon the two last grounds the lower
court refused an Injunction and new trial,
from which decision the plaintiff appealed.
The lower court did enjoin the defendants
on the other three points, and they took
an appeal from that decision.
The Supreme Court infinitely considers
every point urged, and finally agrees that
the lower court was justified in its view.
At the same time Justice Temple, who
wrote the decision, expresses much jealous
regard over the rights of the lower riparian
owners, who, he says, are apparently
satisfied with existing conditions. He be
Iieves the point of the damage done by
impounding the logs to be very close
question, although not sufficiently so tc
justify him in disturbing the decree.

afternoon yesterday and discussed their
future plans.
Just when the big mass-meeting is to be
held IN this City has not yet been decided.
1t may be necessary to wait until Senator
Stewart can come here, which will not be
before ten days at least.
Mr.. Sibley is a ready talker, and he
proved himself ever equal to meet and
conquer with eloquent humor his oppo-
nents in the National House. His charac-
teristic attacks upon President Cleveland
and Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle at
once singled him out for the admiration of
the friends of the white metal, and it is
now thought among the bimetallists that,
If neither the Republican nor the Demo
cratic parties nominate an out and out
free-coinage man for President next year,
the bimetallists will plunge into the great
battle of the metals with Mr.. Sibley as
their standard-bearer.
Mr.. Sibley is both manufacturer and
farmer. 1t is of the Prospect Hill stock
farm, owned by Miller 81 Sibley and
known as the "Palo Alto of the East" that
Charles Marvin, Senator Stanford's old
trainer, is superintendent
Speaking OF the growth of the bimetallic
sentiment yesterday afternoon Mr.. Sibley
said: ''In the East and North our acces-
isions are mostly from the ranks of the
Republicans, and in the South we draw
heavily from the Democrats. The senti-
ment IN Michigan is as strongly BIZ
metallic as in Colorado or any other silver
producing State.
I'VE are asking people not to be less Re
publican or less Democratic, but more
patriotic. We don't want either a strad-
die platform or a straddle candidate in
1896. If the Republicans will nominate a
man like Don Cameron they can elect him.
1 Go not think, under the two-tbirds rule,
that Mr.. Cleveland can get enough sup
port in the Democratic convention for a
fourth nomination. He cannot count
upon any more than the city of New York
and the New England States. The
farmers and merchants of the country dis
tricts of the State Of New York are not for
q him. because they feel their farms and
business slipping from under them, owing
to the financial policy OF the administra-
ton.
:. ''Now, we don't want the next campaign
to be fought out on the tariff. The people
are satisfied that it is not the tariff which
is responsible for the condition of business.
Under the Clay tariff we had the panic of
1897; under the Walker tariff of % per cent
that of 1857, under the Morrell tariff of 48
that of 1878, and under the Mckinley tariff
of 50 per cent the panic of 1893-two low and
two high tariffs-and panic with one the
same as the other. What we went, then,
is that the people shall have a chance to
express themselves one way or another in
1896 on the question of money, and l am
American enough to think that we can
shape our National policy, financially, COM
mercially and industrially without con-
sulting any other Government"

pany of St. Patrick's parish, Captain
Edward P. Fitzgerald commanding, and
Company G of St. Bridget's parish, Cap
tain James r. Kentzel commanding. This
contest will probably be one of the most
exciting and interesting that has ever oc-
Cured in San Francisco. The companies
are evenly matched, the rivalry is intense
among them and parish lines and other
considerations will tend to make the drill
worth witnessing.
The judges selected to decide the contest
are: Major Charles Jansen, First Infantry
Regiment, n. G. c.; Captain Thomas Cum
ningham, Second Artillery Regiment, n.
G. c.. and Captain Frank W. Warren of
the Third Infantry Regiment, N. G. G. A
grand dress parade and review, to be re-
ceived by Colonel William G. Mahoney
of the J.. G. c., will follow the drill, after
which will come an individual competitive
drill, open to all members of the regiment,
for handsome gold medal. The award
ing of both trophies will probably be made
by Archbishop Riordan at the close of the
exercises.
Besides the staff of the First Regiment
the field and staff of the Third Regi-
ment will be present in full uniform.
Archbishop Riordan, Father Prendergast,
V. G., Rev. P G.. Yorke, DID,, Chancellor
of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, and
many others of the clergy of San Francisco
will attend.
A pleasing feature will be the presence in
full uniform of the entire field, staff and
line officers of the Boys Brigade of San
Francisco, who will act as escort to their
State commander, DR.. Ledyard of San
Jose.
The Fife and Drum Corps of the First
Infantry have volunteered their services
and will be present in full uniform. Be-
sides very many of the fraternal, social and
military organizations of this city have
signifed their intention of attending, so

QUEER STORY OF A WIFE,
Leaves Home Before the Ex-
peCted Birth of a
Child.
THE HUSBAND IN GRAVE DOUBT.
He Has Buried One Infant and Now
Has Another Offered
Him.

One of the most remarkable stories that
has ever come to light in San Francisco is
partially revealed in the application for
divorce brought by Mrs. Laura Cunning
ham against her husband, A. c. Cum
ningham. The complaint recites that the
husband is guilty of all sorts of grievous
errors, such as non-support, infidelity and
cruelty. There is nothing at all unusual
in this kind of an averment, for nearly
every divorce suit alleges one and some
times all of these shortcomings.
The story, however, lies not in the COM
monplace everyday divorce proceedings.
