4 WORKING AT THE FILES. The Senatorial Horizon Still i Under a Cloud. New Wide Tire Bill—Respecting Car Fenders- Road Laws Reported—Files Full and Work Plenty. Even the most radical supporters of the several aspirants for Senatorial honors could read nothing between the lines drawn at yesterday's joint ses sion. Two formal ballots were taken while the members chatted and the ladles present smiled, and so apparent was the general belief that nothing would "happen," that had a member, by a slip of the tongue named any other than the candidate he was in a habit of voting for, there might have been several spasms on the floor before he had time to rectify his vote. As a rule, members are saying but little about tbe Senatorial situation, and while some of them are no doubt "sawing wood," the great majority are resting or taking care of little bills on which their hearts and hopes of fur ther political preferment are set. A change in the vote as it has stood Since the first ballot may occur to-day, but judging from the general aspect, 'the probabilities are that it will not. Most of the members profess to be lieve that a break will come "one of these days," but they do not say which one, and a few shake their heads, and Jn the expressive lingo of the Spanish- American, say: "Quien sabe." WTDE> TIRE TROUBLE. The representatives from the mount tain districts have manifested much concern over the wide tire law passed by the Legislature of 1897, and early in the session a bill was introduced demanding its repeal. The contention of the mountain members was to the ■effect that on steep grades and short turns wide tires could not be used, and that the teamster who was luckless enough to attempt a wide tire load on a mountain road would wind up at the bottom of the gulch the first time he tried to make a down-grade turn with set brakes. An amendment was agreed to fixing the wide tire deniarkation at the 1,000-foot altitude mark, but a few pertinent questions about what the teamster would do when he reached the division line upset the agreement. It Is understood that Senator Laird, author of the original repeal bill, will to-day offer a substitute, which will meet the approval of both the mount aineers and the residents of the valleys. LIBRARY REMAINS INTACT. The Senate has unceremoniously knocked out of the State Library bill the provision directing the Trustees to formulate a plan by which the books on its shelves might be put in circula tion. The argument that to make it a circulating library would destroy its efficiency as a library of reference pre vailed among the Senators, only a few of those residing in the southern part ©f the State clamoring to have the priceless volumes put in circulation. When the amendment striking out the circulating clause was adopted, Simpson of Pasadena changed his vote from no to aye, and gave notice that lie would yesterday move to reconsider 4he vote by which the amendment was jadopted. But when yesterday came Simpson had had time to reflect. He "had probably discovered that a motion to reconsider would do more than show <the weakness of the "circulating" fol lowing, so he desisted. He allowed the <notice to hang fire all day, but just be lore adjournment he rose in his place and withdrew his notice to reconsider the vote by which the amendment was adopted. And so it ended. AMONG THE FILES. Both houses labored among the files yesterday, with only an occasional skirmish to break the monotony. The <lay was rounded out with committee Reports, and with the introduction and •reference of new bills. All In all, it When death comes to the door of a strong, rugged, healthy constitution he finds I la* closed. He is always P| el 11| * ~ sneaking ULIiMhS J.« around ioot *»itljSß jt *" or °P cn - | I WfL /T i*i j ings through ~ ~tli' vut? ! which he can ° * * J -j«> jjS&~~U invade ■ happy homes and le.ivc /•/Slfet them forlorn and *fly\ I B desolate.

When jaffiwi II a man's vigor and jjBJ\ W, energy begin to weaken and be- come uncertain, then the door to his vitalitygrows shaky and there is an opening for the grim vi?itor to enter. It is commonly said that people die of this or that particular disease. The truth is they die of constitutional weakness. If more people realized this they would understand why the great "Golden Medi cal Discovery invented by Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo, N. V., cures so many -cases of lingering coughs, throat, bronchial, and kindred affections of the air passages. It gives thorough abundant constitutional vitality. It gives the digestive and blood making organs, where consumption usually begins, power to do their work completely so that no poisonous dreg 9 can get into the circulation to fasten on the lungs and vital tissues. "I have been troubled with bronchitis for several years," writes Mrs. Orlin O'Hara, of Fergus Falls, Minn. (Box 114). '"In the first place I had sore throat; doctored with different doctors nnd took various medicines, but got no lasting relief. We made up our minds to try the medicine advertised as Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery. After I had taken one bottle we thought we could see a little change. We aent and got another bottle of the ' Golden Medi cal Discoveey' and also one of ' Favorite Pre scription.' I took them alternately, and in a few days I began to see that I was better for certain. I took eight bottles of' Golden Medical Discovery' and two of 'Favorite Prescription.' and, really, I have not felt as well in years. I sleep better than I have in twenty years." Dr. Pierces Common Sense Medical Ad viser, a 1000 page illustrated book, will be aent free by tke World's Dispensary Medi cal Association for at one-cent stamps, to pay the cost of mailing only, or a more sub stantial cloth-bound volume for 31 stamps. I was a working day—one of the few of the session. THE ASSEMBLY DIGS. If to-day should bring anything sen sational into the doings of the lower House it will be more than yesterday did. A number of bills were introduced, others read a second time and a reason ably good batch were passed, hut among them all there were none which gave rise to anything like a debate, save, perhaps, the horseshoers' bill, provid ing for a Board of Examiners who shall give certificates of skill and making other provisions to raise the trade tow ard the dignity of a profession with a reasonable hope of a chair of horse shoeing in the State University in the far future. The bill, on final passage, was lost, but Cobb of San Francisco, the author, was undaunted and gave notice of motion to reconsider to-day. ROADS AND HIGHWAYS. A good number of bills were reported back, favorably and otherwise from this committee. Johnson's bill to provide for the classification of roads was ad versely reported. In consequence of this, should the Assembly follow the lead of the committee, much of the good effect of the committee substitute for Johnson's bill, providing for the expenditure of highway taxes in dis tracts, would be lost —so claims Melick, Chairman .of the committee. The com mittee's measure provides that the Board of Supervisors must annually ejet apart from the property road tax collected from all sources fifty per cent, to be set aside as a fund for permanent roads; thirty-five per cent, of the re mainder of said road tax may be set aside for general county road purposes, from which so set apart they may di rect such amounts to be paid as may be found necessary for general county road purposes in which the inhabitants of all the districts within the county are more or less interested, or to as sist weak and impoverished districts in keeping their roads in repair. The fifty per cent, set aside for per manent roads in each county would, the committee agreed, build some 200 miles of permanent road in the State each year. But if the classification bill be defeated, it is claimed that there will be no general plan and, the counties acting separately, will not be likely to build along the main veins of travel nor with a view to great State high ways. BEFORE THE JUDICIARY. The members of the Judiciary Com mittee were nearly all present last night and had several delegations be fore them. G. W. Arper, President of the Mer chants' Exchange of Oakland and Wil bur Walker, Secretary of the same or ganization, appeared in the interest of Kelley's A. B. 244, providing for the garnishment of the salaries of public officials for debt. The gentlemen were emphatic and vigorous in their sup port of the proposition. Judge Dibble believed it was against public policy and would interfere with the public service. He stated that no such law existed in any State so far as he knew and that when it was be fore the Assembly Judge Waymire had investigated it carefully and decided that it was not a proper measure to enact. RAISIN GROWERS HERE. Chynoweth's A. B. 200, to prevent monopolies in commodities or articles of common use and prohibit restraints of trade and commerce had brought some Fresno men up to oppose its pro visions. Their first spokesman was N. Theodore Kearney, President of the Raisin Growers' Association of Fresno, who explained at length the methods of the association and told how the raisin industry had languished before the growers formed themselves Into an organized body. He believed the bill would break up their association if it became a law and throw the business back where it was at the mercy of commission men. Mr. Hotchkiss, Manager of the Wine makers* Association, spoke on behalf of that body, and explained the meth ods and the value of organization in their business. Assemblyman Fairweather, a practi cal raisin grower of Fresno County, gave a plain, common-sense talk from the depths of his experience, and H. Weir,stock, President of the California Fruit Growers* Association, spoke in sympathy with the others. Members of the committee asked many questions, all of which were frankly and intelligently answered by the gentlemen. FOR THE SANTA FE. A. P. McGinnis, Claims Agent for the Santa Fe Railroad, was present in the interest of J. M. Miller's A. B. 440, au thorizing the granting by county and city authorities to railroad corporations of franchises for the construction of wharves and piers for terminal pur poses, when found necessary, without offering them for sale. Mr. McGinnis' explanation of the bill was very brief and In the nature of a conversation rather than a speech. STANFORD EXEMPTION. George E. Carothers appeared con cerning the Constitutional amendment asked for by. Stanford University. Since President Jordan spoke to the commit tee further aomierence had satisfied the. TELE BBOQBP-TJJTIOy,, SACBAMENTO; FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 3, 1899. friends of the University that the amendment could not be divided, as proposed by the coir mittee. The in tention had been to embody the correc tions to the foundation Act In a bill, leaving the Constitutional amendment to cover onjy the) exemption from taxa tion. But Mr. Carothers stated that It had been found that both matters must be incorporated in the Constitution. SELECTION OF JURORS. Belshaw's bill placing the selection of trial jurors with Superior Judges in stead of with Boards of Supervisors had been already reported adversely to the Assembly by the Judiciary Commit tee, but a small delegation of Sacra memtans appeared last evening with a further appeal In behalf of the bill. Elwood Bruner spoke first. He claimed the purpose of the bill was a reform in the jury system. He alluded to the scandals which had occurred all over the State in connection with juries, and declared that Superior Judges, who understand the qualifica tions necessary to a good juror, and who, holding office six years and often longer, become familiar with all the proper jurors in the county, were the fitting ones to make the choice. Johnson asked Bruner if the scan dals'" were general. Bruner answered yes. Then Johnson called his attention to the fact, which Bruner confessed was new to him, that in San Francisco the jurors, both grand and trial, are selected by the Judges, and that scan dals are not unknown, in connection with San Francisco juries. Mr. Weinstock, as a layman, advo cated the bill, and believed it a step in the right direction, although he would not claim that it would be a perfect system. The bill will probably have to take its chances in the Assembly without fur ther action by the committee. The committee decided to report ad versely on the so-called "debtor" bills. IN SENATE. Upper House Wrestles With the Second Reading File. In ,the Senate yesterday morning Cutter offered a resolution instructing the Controller to draw his warrant for the sum of $433.50 to pay porters, clerks, etc., for services performed, prior to the election of attaches under the recently passed attache bill.

B. 72, by Braunhart, to promote the safety of employes and passengers upon street railways by compelling equipment of cars and dummies with fenders and brakes, and to prescribe penalties, was read the third time. Shortridge moved that the enacting clause be stricken out. Cutter seconded the motion, and said there was no need for the passage of such a law, and if there were, the bill in question was so clumsily drawn and so uncertain in its wording as to be Inoperative did it become a law. Shortridge spoke to the motion, hold ing that Boards of Supervisors already had power to adopt fenders for cars if they deemed that course necessary. Morehouse favored the motion to strike out, contending that there was no logical reason why such an Act should be spread upon the statutes. Braunhart protested against the mo tion, claiming that the lives of the men, women and children which were in daily danger of being crushed out by fenderless cars, were paramount to the Interests of any corporation. He said that while the bill might be of minor Importance, the action on it would show whether or not the Senate, was owned by the corporations of the State. Smith protested against the unusual method of killing the bill by striking out its enacting clause. He said that in all his experience he had seen such an action taken but once. He demand ed that the bill be fairly met, and if deefated at all, that it be defeated on its final passage. President Pro Tern. Flint being ap pealed to, stated that during the six years he had acted as President Pro Tern, of the Senate the method of kill ing bills by striking out their enacting clause had been tabooed. In a parlia mentary rule such a motion was in or der, but as a matter of courtesy, it was not. Thereupon Shortridge withdrew his motion to strike out. Braunhart offered an amendment striking out the word "electric" and making the bill apply to all kinds of streets cars, horse, electric, steam or. otherwise. Adopted. BUI ordered printed.

B. 46, by Morehouse, to provide for the appointment of five Comimission ers, to be known as Supreme Court Commissioners, to appoint a Secretary for such commission, and to appropriate 867,000 for the same. Amended and or dered printed. S. J. R. 7, by Flint, relating to false branding of food products, was adopted by a unanimous vote. The text of the resolution follows: Whereas, It has become known to the people in the State of California that many of their staple articles of pro duction that commend themselves to the consumers of the world by reason of their purity and quality, markets for which have only been obtained by the expenditure of much time and energy, are being counterfeited by unscrupulous persons in many parts of the Union by the substitution for the pure California product of certain mixtures or articles 1 not the product of California, and label ing the packages containing them as bag a pure product of California; and, W T hereas, The. subject of false brand ing and labeling of articles of food and beverages is recognized by producers and consumers throughout the civil ized world as being of vital importance to cc mmerce and the health of the peo ple, being especially so to the producers of California, who by reason of their large annual output seek foreign mar kets for their surplus products, and who find that the good name and repu tation of their goods are seriously in jured in the markets of the world, and the trade therein restrained by reason of such false branding and labeling; and, Whereas, This condition is fully met by the provisions of a bill entitled "A bill for preventing the adulteration, misbranding and imitation of foods, beverages, candies, drugs and condi ments in the several States, the Dis trict of Columbia and the Territories, and for regulating interstate traffic therein, and for other purposes," intro duced in the National House of Repre sentatives by Hon Marriott Brosius, and in the Senate by Hon. Charles J. Faulkner, and indorsed, by the National Pure Food Congress, which makes such false branding and labeling a misde meanor, Section 5 of which provides that, the term "misbranded" as used therein "shall include all drugs or ar ticles of food, or articles which enter into the composition of foods or condi ments, the package or label of which shall bear any statement purporting to name any ingredients or substances as not being 1 contained in such article. Which statement shall be false in any particular, or any, condiment or food product which is falsely branded as to the State or Territory in which it is manufactured or produced"; therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and Assembly jointly, That we hereby instruct our Senators, and request our Represent atives, in Congress from this State to urge by all possible means the passage of the Faulkner and Brosius bills by Congress at an early date; and be It further Resolved, That the Secretary of State is hereby instructed to forward certi fied copies of the foregoing resolutions to the Senators and Representatives from this State in the Fifty-fifth and Fifty-sixth Congresses. S. B. 5, by Braunhart, to amend an Act to establish a tax on collateral in heritances, bequests and devises, to provide for Its collection, and to direct the disposition of its proceeds. Com mittee amendments adopted, and or dered to printer. MEDICAL. ATTENDANCE. S. B. 214, by Hoey, to compel em ployers to furnish medical and surgical attendance to employes Injured during working hours' in mills, factories, ship yards, foundries and other places where machinery is used, was read. Morehouse offered an amendment providing that such medical or surgical attendance shall be provided only when such injury was not due to the care lessness or negligence of the party in jured, or to the carelessness of a fellow employe. Bulla offered art amendment to the amendment, striking out that portion referring to carelessness or negligence of fellow employes. Braunhart opposed both amendments, holding that their adoption would ren der the bill useless. He contended that, under the amendment as offered by Morehouse, the person obeying- orders given by a foreman might be Injured, and because the foreman had bean neg ligent would be allowed no medical or surgical attendance, even though he f bad lost a leg. Morehouse explained that the statutes explicitly provide that a foreman is not a fellow employe with those working under him. Bulla's amendment was adopted by a vote of 17 to 13. Morehouse's amendment, as amended, was adopted, and the bill was ordered printed. Shortridge moved that S. B. 177, by Braunhart, relating to the form of Are insurance policies, and making them uniform, be denied a second reading, and spoke to his motion, claiming that there was no necessity for such legisla tion. Bulla and Gillette favored Short ridge's motion, as did Simpson. Braunhart opposed the motion, and it was lost. Thereupon the bill was read and or dered on file for third reading. S. B. 1(5, by Cutter, to amend Sections 3 to 9, inclusive, of an Act to provide for the protection of lands from over flow, other than lands recognized as swamp lands, etc., was read and or dered to a third reading. Then, on motion of Morehouse, Hoey's bill, 214, which an hour before had been amended and ordered to engross ment, was recalled and placed on the file, Morehouse intimated that he In tended to move a reconsideration of the vote whereby his amendment was adopted, but the matter was dropped without further action. COMMITTEE REPORTS. Cutter, for the Committee on Roads and Highways, handed in the follow ing report: S. B's 160, by Cutter, to (Continued on Seventh Page.) Nervous Jyspepsia To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know What Appetite and Good Digestion Mean. MAKE A TEST OF STUART'S DYS PEPSIA TABLETS. No trouble Is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think their nerves are to blame, and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicines. The real seat of the mischief is lost .sight of. The stomach is the organ to be looked after. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach veafcness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every organ.
