MORE RAIN FELL YESTERDAY.
NEARLY FIVE AND A QUARTER
INCHES THUS FAR.
In Some Localities the Fall Was
Heavier-Much Snow in the
Mountains.

There was another generous down.
pour of rain yesterday morning, last
ing for several hours, with snow fall
ing in the mountains and well down
the foothill slopes. Snow fell as low as
Placerville.
Up on the Oregon railroad the SNOW
| fall on Sunday and Sunday night was
very heavy and the railroad company
was forced to call it's snoWplowS into
service north of Redding.
| At DunSmuir the snowfall has been
the heaviest in six years, amounting to
upward of three feet This means lots
of water for the Sacramento River, for
the miners and others.
| Down the valley from Red Bluff
southwark the rainfall was good, the
! figures for the season at most points
being in excess Of those of last season.
| There was three feet of snow yester-
| day at Cisco, tapering off to five inches
at Colfax- At Cascade four feet is re-
ported.
At Superintendent Wright's Office it
was learned last evening that showery
weather prevailed all day in the foot
hills and up to Colfax, a considerable
amount of rain falling. There was a
furry of snow at Auburn, and a light
fall at ColfaX, and snow fell from that
point to the Summit, where there is
now six feet, all practically from the
present storm. On the other side of
the Summit the snow fall decreased,
there being only two feet at Truckee.
On the Oregon division the rain was
quite heavy. At Red Bluff the total
fall for the storm is 3 inches. 1t was
clear at Dunsmuir last night, showing
that the storm was broken.
AS result of the storm the rivers
will rise materially and the electric
power and light companies will have
plenty of water for months to come,
while it is reasonable to expect several
storms during this month with a pos
sibility of the snowfall being up to the
average for the season.
The Weather Bureau reports show
the highest and lowest temperatures
yesterday to have been so and AZ de-
grees, with brisk to high southerly
winds and cloudy weather prevailing,
with a maximum wind velocity of 30
miles per hour.
The barometrical readings at a. m.
and 3 p. m yesterday We're 29.12 and
1882 inches, respectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were "a and SO
degrees, and one year ago to-day SO
and 81 degrees.
The average temperature was 46 and
the normal 45, showing yesterday to
have been ! degree warmer than usual
for the I'd day Of January.
River, s feet inches and rising.
The rainfall for the storm was 1.3O
inches, making for this season 5.21
inches, as against 4.3S inches to an
equal date last year.
The present storm has already given
much more rain for January than fell
during the entire month last year. Then
there was but O9S of an inch, as
against 1.3O inches for this storm up
TO p. m. yesterday.
About noon yesterday, while the sun
was shining and not drop of rain fall
ing down town, the heaviest shower of
the storm passed over the city east of
Tenth street, the rain coming down al
most in sheet for several minutes.

He REFUSES TO SURRENDER.
SUPERVISOR DREMAN SPRINGS
A SURPRISE.
Says That Dugald ellis Has Not
Given the Required Legal
Official Bond.

John brennan, who has represented
the First District in the Board of Su-
pervisors during the last term, con-
tends that his successor, Dugald ellis.
though elected, has not legally quail
fed for the place, and that he Ore
mani will hold on to the seat until
ellis can show what he claims to be
a clear title to the office.
The board convened yesterday for the
purpose of complying with the law
but had previously decided not to
transact any business until to-day
Mr.. ellis was there to take his seat,
but brennan declined to surrender it,
for the reason stated.
1t seems that this year most of the
county officers filed their bonds with
the Fidelity and Deposit Company as
surety, and this, brennan holds, is not
Gin the case of Gfllis) in conformity
with the provisions of the County Gov
eminent Act. He filed a statement
yesterday with the board announcing
his determination not to surrender his
office until his successor shall have
properly qualified.
He also filed legal opinion by J..
Charles Jones, his attorney, in which
the latter advises him to such action.
as follows:
John F. brennan, Supervisor of Sac
ramento County-Dear Sir: 1 re-
specially submit the following views
concerning your status as Supervisor
of Sacramento County for the First
District. / find that the only bond
which has been filed by D. ellis, who
| claims to be your successor, has been
executed by the Fidelity and Deposit
| Company, corporation, as sole sure
| Supervisor of county should comply
with section 66 Of the Act commonly
| called the County Government Act of
1897, and that Section 1856 C. c. P. IS
not to be considered as modifying the
County Government Act. 1t does not
appear that Mr. ellis has filed or re-
corded a bond in conformity with Sec
ton &C of the County Government a ct
or with law, and therefore he has failed
to qualify within the time required by
law, and it seems to be your right and
| duty under the law to continue to hold
the office of Supervisor of Sacramento
County for the First District until your
successor is elected and has properly
qualified"
The board took a recess till this
| morning, when it is expected Mr.. Gill
lis will make another demand for the
seat, and it remains to be seen whether
or not brennan will recede from the po-
sition he had taken.

War between Spain and France.

A Paris correspondent has set the ru-
NOR ailoat that war is possible between
spain and France. Such an outcome is
hard to believe, because the two countries
nave been for years on unusually init
mate terms. You cannot tell what will
happen between nations, but you can tell
what will happen when a dyspeptic takes
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. His health
VIII improve. His appetite will come
back. His mouth will not taste badly In
the morning. He will not be subject to
dizzy spells and his head will be clear
his disposition will be more agreeable
and his bilious look will disappear. His
blood will be purified and his kidneys
stimulated to perform their work proper
~. All these things are accomplished by
the Bitters.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF fig.

THE EXCEL ENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI

cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
