AFTER AN ENABLING ACT.
Supervisors Want Authority to Rebuild
the Old City Hall.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 12.-Joseph King, Su-
pervisor of the First Ward, and E. L.
Wagner, Supervisor of the Twelfth Ward,
arrived on the late train from San Fran
cisco. Their object in coming here is to
secure legislative action on a couple of
propositions about the legality of which
they are doubtful without an enabling act.
The propositions are to have the Legis-
lature authorize the Board of Supervisors
to levy tax or provide funds for the re-
moval of the old City Hall and the erec-
tion of new municipal structure on its
site to cost $500, 900, and to erect County
Hospital at a cost of $150 900 on the Aims
house tract. Senator Biggy will be asked
to introduce the bill in the upper house,
and Assemblyman Powers will probably
present it in the other chamber.
s a4'Thereis some doubt as to the powers of
the Supervisors to act in this matter with
out legislative authorization, said Super
visor King, "and we wish to be on the safe
side. The old City Hall is a disgrace and
a menace to life and health. 1t is pro-
posed to erect building which will suffice
for the needs of the city, where the police
courts may meet and where quite an
amount of necessary municipal business
may be transacted l believe that the Su-
pervisors might possibly do this without
legislative action, but there is doubt on
the part of the attorneys, and so we want
to take all the necessary steps to make our
position and actions perfectly legal.
II believe that every member of the San
Francisco delegation will favor the BILL
The country members should not oppose
the BILL as the funds will be raised en-
tirely in San Francisco for purely munich
pal purposes and will be no tax on the
State. 1t is generally favored in San Fran
cisco. All we ask is an enabling act, which
will allow us to proceed
The bills will be presented in the Legis-
lature tomorrow.

OF INTEREST TO San FRANCISCO.
Two Important Bills Will Be Presented
to the Assembly To-Day.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 12.-Two measures of
more than ordinary interest to San Fran
cisco are to be introduced tomorrow.
Dinkelspiel of the Thirty ninth will pre-
sent constitutional amendment providing
that "The Supreme Court shall give its
opinion upon important questions upon
solemn occasions when required by the
Governor, Senate or Assembly, and all
such opinions shall be published in con-
nection with the reported decisions of said
court" This, he thinks, will tend to SIM
plify much of the work of the Legislature.
Boothby of the Forty-third District has
bill to amend the act forbidding prize
fights by specifying that it does not include
six-round contests with gloves weighing
five ounces or over when there are waits of
minute between each three-minute round.
He explains that he does not want to re-
vive brutal prize-fghts, but that the con-
tests he has named will encourage boxing
without doing harm.

DROWNED In THE CREEK.
A Mother and Child Perish in the
Flood.
Farmer Wyman Cooke Has a Narrow
Escape While Trying to Ford
Russian River.

BRENTWOOD, Feb. 12.-This afternoon J.
Jacobson, with his wife and child, in cart
tried to ford Marsh Creek, near Stone
House. On account of the rains the creek
was very high and the water was running
swift. The horse got over his depth and
the current overturned the cart throwing
the occupants into the water. Mr. Jacob
son succeeded in getting ashore, but his
wife and babe were swept away and
drowned. A searching party left here, but
at last reports the bodies had not been re-
covered.
CLovERDALE, Feb. 12.-Wyman Cooke,
manager of Captain Floyd's ranch in Lake
County, after attending citrus fair in this
place, started to return home to-day. The
recent rains carried away the approach to
the county bridge, and he attempted to
ford the Russian River. In the middle of
the stream his horse became unmanage-
able and got away, leaving Cooke to his
own efforts. He succeeded in reaching an
island, where for five hours he was ex
posed to hard beating rain. William Orr
volunteered to take rope across the rapid
stream. The current was too strong and
the horse and rider were helpless, and they
became separated.
Orr was carried down the stream half
mile, where he was rescued by means of
rope. All efforts to get rope to Cooke
we're of no avail. Information that there
was boat at Preston called forth volun-
teers, and C. E. Humbert speedily hitched
four horses to wagon and made the trip,
a distance of eight miles, secured the boat
and saved Cookies life. The river is rising
and in but few hours more the island
would have been covered with water.
SALINAS, Feb. 12.-The heavy rain pre-
vented the continuation of the field trials
to-day. 1t was clear this afternoon and
promises fair for tomorrow. The ford
here has been abandoned. The ali-age
stake will probably be started on Thursday.
Sportsmen are thoroughly enjoying them
selves about town.
CAYucos, Feb. i2.-This section is having
another soaking after three weeks of fine
weather. There has been an ideal season
here so far, neither severe winds nor frosts,
but perfect growing weather.

BILLS In THE SENATE.
Seymour Wants the Laws to Regulate
Charges for illumination.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 12.-In the Senate this
morning the Assembly constitutional
amendment to exempt mortgages from
taxation was taken up and adopted.
Senator Seymour of Los Angeles pro-
poses to regulate the price of gas and cleo
tricity, and incidentally the cost of
to-day requiring boards of supervisors,
common councils, trustees, or other gov
erning bodies of counties, cities and towns,
to fix the price of electricity and gas used
for Illuminating purposes on basis of al
lowing per cent income to the companies
on the capital invested, exclusive of the
real estate and personal property. The
bill adds the same provisions to telephone
companies.
a constitutional amendment offered by
Senator Hart goes even further. 1t pro-
vides that within ninety days after the
adoption of the amendment, which de-
cares gas and electricity for Illuminating
purposes public use, every munich
pal corporation in the State must bring
suit to determine the value of the gas or
electric plant, and that the charges for
electric or gas service must then be fixed
by the municipality so that the income
derived from the corporations will not ex-
ceed per cent on valuation thus deter
mined.
Senator Seymour introduced two other
bills. One is the insanity bill which M. NJ.
Foote is urging. 1t provides that all per-
sons charged with insanity must have a
jury trial, and that no imbecile shall be
admitted or maintained in any State asy-
lum for the insane,
Another bill directs the Secretary of
State to fix up quarters in the Capitol
building for the Bank Commissioners and
for the Insurance Commissioners.
Senator Gleaves introduced a bill for the
lease of seawall water lots to 16 for term
of twenty-five years.
Previous to adjournment Senator With
ington introduced a bill appropriating

w. Vincent, whose 60 years or SO seemed to have

'Long in the fifties around Marysville, an old
Mexican had beautiful daughter whom he seemed
to take great deal of pride n and was always
watching her. Well, sir, want you to know that
ten years before Sunshine and Gold were hand
maidens of prosperity to the sunset Country
Well, while 1 was knocking around Marysville,

whole cabin on fire. The hair stood up on my head,
and was transixed for moment. The next in

"Whilst l was knocking around the vicinity OF
Marysville, took the chills, and when recovered
from the chills was weak, dlsplrlted, and was
not at all myself by any manner OF means. We
had to frregularly and would bloat after each
meal. Then the old Mexican did me good turn,
for one day asked him if he didn't know of some
thing I could take. He told me that he would boil
up some of the herbs around and let me pack a
couple of bottles, and he believed that after took
