Jessie Handbook was there. She
had failed, although it was four year,
later, to secure the rich husband. She
had not altered, but looked as fresh
and beautiful as ever as she stood
under the full light o. chandelier
clad sIngularly enough, in white Sill
garlanded with tube roses just as she
was when he had fallen so madly in
love.
A blush dyed her cheeks as she 90

Il will win him yet, she said, under
her breath. For the man whom all
the world acknowledged seemed very
different TO her from the poor, un-
known artist she had scorned.
MISS Hardbrook2 What a pleasure
She felt her hand grasped cordial.
and thought she noted look of tine
old interest in the speakers's brown
eyes.
He remained by her side the mos;
of the evening, making himself wo,
derfully agreeable by descriptions ct
his travels, and when he placed her
in a carriage, whispered softly:
May come tomorrow
After that their old intimacy seem
ed revived. The gossips began to
dream of grand wedding, and all
the girls envied Jessie her good
fortune.
She was very happy, too; for the
first time she knew what 1t was to
love, yes she loved Ralph Ashton
from her very soul, and felt sure he
loved her in return. Only one thing
troubled her; he did not speak.
He is waiting to be sure of me,
she would say to herself. He will not
risk another refusal. And she becam e
doubly gracious.
One afternoon he remarked care
lessly as he sat by her side.-

La Grippe

If you have had the Grippe,
you know its aches and pains,
the fever, the chil1s, the cough,
the depression-you know
them all. The Grippe exhausts
the nervous system quickly,
lowers the vitality. Two
things should be done at once:
the body must be strength
ened, and force raust be given
to the nervous system. Cod
liver Oil will Go the first; Hy-
pophosphites the second. These
are permanently and pleasantly
combined in Seotps Emulsion.
1t lifts the dsspondency and
heals the inflaaacd membranes
Of the throat and lGngs.
But you need not have LA
GRIPPE.
You can put your system IN
a condition unfavorable to 1t.
You can have rich, red blood;
resistive strength steady brain
and nerves. Scott's Efnu1sion
prevents as well as cares.
And whether you send or 60
for SCOTS Emulsion, be sure
you get the genuine.

Northern Towns Are Relieved From Danger
Inundatlon
STOCKTON, Feb. 6.-The danger of
the water getting beyond control in
this vicinity seems to have passed. The
water expected from the foothills failed
to appear In the volume expected. There
was a slow rise until about daybreak
this morning, but little water got out of
the natural channels. The swollen
condition of the streams gave rise to
apprehension, and for awhile 1t looked
like reptition of the scenes of four
years ago. But the water is now steadily
falling and has been since daybreak.
In the lower portions of the city some
water gathered, but sa far as known no
damage was done. At the highest
water gathered, but as far as known no
in 1893. In the up country there has
been some damage to crops, but gen.
orally the farmers consider that they
have got off lightly. The reclaimed is
lands below the city have also escaped,
and the vast crops which were threat
ened are now safe.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 6.-The river is
now at a standstill, being little over
% feet high, and no danger is appre-
hended from it, as it is not high for
this time of year. The American river
was high yesterday, but is falling, ami

THE STATE LEGISLATURE
Finds q Saturday Quorum Present In
Both Houses
Coyote ScaIps VIII Probably
Bo Paid For

Special to The Herald.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 6.-For the first
time since the opening, both houses Of
the legislature transacted business on
Saturday, there being quorum present
today in each branch, though many
members had gone home to remain till
Monday. There was another charac-
teristic discussion in the assembly over
the Duckworth scandal. without which
the large crowd of visitors would have
failed to get their moneys worth" The
amount of good that will accrue to the
people at large from the flow of impas-
stoned oratory Is not easily estimated.
1t is probable that both houses will
begin night sessions next Monday or
Tuesday. An assemblyman who has
much to do on committees that are at
work in the Duckworth attache COM
plioation declares tonight that the as
sembly Is liable to spend half of next
week on that interesting case of mall
feasance. Hence the necessity of night
sessions soon.
A scandal involving an open charge Of
bribery against the coroner has ap-
peared in the board Of supervisors, which
may prove a rival attraction to the
Duckworth farce.

Little More Legislation VIII Be Accomplished
Before Adjournment
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-The Repub-
lican steering committee met today, but
did not change the order of business
heretofore agreed upon. This means
that the bankruptcy bill will be taken up
as soon as possible after the Nicaraguan
canal bill is dropped. as it will be on
Monday, and that If its consideration
should be concluded in time, it would
be succeeded by the Hawaiian bill, and
that in turn by the Pacific railroad COM
mission bill. None Of these measures
however, will be allowed to antagonize
the appropriation bills The committee
also decided against making any oppo-
siton to the motion of which Senator
Sherman has given notice, that on Mon
day he will call up the arbitration treaty
in executive session. 1t was definitely
stated in the committed that the Mica
ragua canal bill would be abandoned for
the present session on Monday but 1t
was not considered probable that the
bankruptcy bill could be gotten up on
that day on account of others which will
press for consideration. Members Of
the steering committee cypress an opin-
ion that very little legislation will lie
accomplished before final adjournment

to such conferences seldom were en-
powered to commit their governments
to any action. In the past the United
States had consulted only England,
France and Germany, whose terms were
to maintain the gold standard, whereas
the debtor nations, Russia, Austria, Bra
zil, Chile and others were interested In
bimetallism, although they have been
drawn to the gold standard under the
influence of the creditor nations. Three
creditor nations had a monopoly Of gold
and no interest in equalizing the price of
silver and gold. The committee came to
no conclusion. Several members Of the
committee on banking interested in the
matter, gave notice that they wanted to
speak at the next meeting.
POSTAL REFORM.
The senate committee on postoff1ces
and postroads failed today to conclude
the consideration of the Loud bill in re-
gard to second-class mail matter, as 1t
hoped to do. The postponement was due
to the fact that some senators, not me M
bers of the committee, expressed de-
sire to be heard on the bill before 1t Is
reported Senator Stewart was given
an opportunity today to further express
his objections to the measure. He said
that II 1t should be reported to the senate
he would talk two days against it rather
than allow 1t to pass.

WHO WAS DROWNED?
A Riderless Horse Swims Ashore From Santa
Rosa Laguna

Rosa Laguna
SANTA ROSA, Feb. 6.-Who was
drowned in the Laguna Santa Rosa to-
day is the question citizens of Sebasto-
pol and vicinity are asking themselves
tonight. That somebody was drowned
is certain, for a riderless horse strug-
gled from a deep hole near Ellingsworth
bridge. The horse had fine saddle and
bride on. 1t Is a bright bay animal,
and was nearly exhausted whenit swan
out of deep hole. Water had been flow
ing over the road just beyond the bridge
since the heavy rains set in. 1t is thought
the rider attempted to ford the laguna
at that point and fell off or was thrown
off by the horse, in struggling to- get to
land. UP to this time nobody has been
reported missing and nobody has claimed
ownership of the horse.
