The heavy winds which swept over the
city during the early morning hours lev
eled a telegraph pole at the corner of
Twenty-fourth and Bartlott streets. At
tached to the pole were a number of elec
tric light wires, which became a source
of much danger to horses and pedestrians
who were obliged to pass.
Traffic over the Southern Pacific Rail
road between this city and Ocean View
was suspended yesterday morning for
some hours, owing to the collapse of a.
wooden bridge which spans the Southern
Pacific track3 at San Jose and Vernon
avenues. The heavy deluge of rain which
occurred early yesterday morning so loos
ened the buttments of the bridge that it
suddenly collapsed.
The bridge was constructed by Herman
Joost fourteen years ago. Since the timo
o'f it3 construction the bridge has never
been strengthened to withstand the traf
fic of heavy teams and the constant
crossing to and fro of the San Francisco
and San Mateo electric cars.
A construction train with a gans of
men was sent from the depot at Fourth

HAXFORD. Jan. 27.— The rainfall for
the present storm amounts to sixty-hun
dredths of an inch. The wind is blowing
a gale to-night and the indications are
excellent for a heavy Btorm. The crop
prospects are very bright.
Miners and men who are identified with
tho big electric power plants along the
Yuba, American and other streams hope
and expect that the storm will lodge a
great blanket of snow on the mountains.
The reports of excessive rainfall at Ne
vada City and the dispatches giving ac
count of washouts In the region of Red
ding, the record of high water at Colusa,
lead to the conclusion that this January
storm will not subside until there Is a
great lodgment of snow in places where
It 'Is most needed. The counties of Trin
ity, Lassen, Shasta, Nevada, Placer, El
Dorado, Tuolumne, Calaveras, Amador
and Marlposa will surely derive great ben
efit from the precipitation of rain and
enow.' The outlook Xor a long continued
and regular water supply; within the
drainage zone of the Yuba, Feather, Bear,
American, Tuolumne, Stanislaus and Mer
ced rivers is very promising.
This year the counties : of Na pa. Marin,
Sonoma, Lake, Mendocino and Humboldt
have been favored with generous rains.

After the snow blockade during the win
ter of 1S05-96 the Southern Pacific was
equipped with rotary snowplows. These
snow-fighting machines are stationed at
Emigrant Gap, Cisco, Summit and True
kee. There is also one at Slsson ready
for service on the Oregon line. At no
time since the equipment of the line with
the big rotarles has there been an urgent
demand for their use. The present storm,
however, may lodge a sufficient quantity
ot snow to bring them into action.
The operating department of the South
ern Pacific has no reports indicative of
a heavy snowfall along the line of the
railroad in the Sierras. The agent at
Summit wired yesterday that one foot
of snow had fallen. This is light, indeed,
considering the extent of the storm and
the abundant showers of rain In the foot
hills. As the temperature falls the
volume of snow may, increase.
Professor Alexander G. McAdie of the
United States Signal Service is in wire
communication with Red Bluff, Carson,
Independence and Winnemucca. His nd
vlces Indicate that the storm is heavy
along the mountain tributaries of the
Sacramento. A further rise in the upper
river Is anticipated. Press reports and
private telegrams represent that rain is
falling in Southern California, where it is
most needed. '
The flood in the Sacramento River near
Colusa yesterday was within five inches
of the danger line. It is inferred that
a great storm is raging in the region of
country around Mount Shasta and
throughout the Siskiyou Mountains, as
telegraphic communication with the
country north of Red Bluff is interrupted.
The storm is spreading over the coun
try east of the Sierras. At Carson, Nev .
yesterday at 10 o'clock in the morning
it was raining hard and a high southwest
wind prevailed. At the 'same hour Id
"Winnemucca the wind was blowing from
the northeast. The descending moisture
was half rain and half snow. At Inde
pendence the wind came from the south
east.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 27.— One. of the
heaviest rainstorms of the season pre
vails to-night throughout Southern Cali
fornia and will result in incalculable good
to all interests. The storm began at an
early hour this morning and has contin

holding the moisture only at short 'nter
vals. Up to 5 o'clock this afternoon,
when the measurements were taken at
the "Weather Bureau, .84. of an Inch had
fallen, and .92 of an Inch for the storm.
Since that hour enough has fallen to
make more than an inch for the past
twenty-four hours. Everything indicates
a continuance of the downpour through
the night.
The present storm dispels the fears of a
dry season among the agriculturists and
restores confidence' of the entire- busi
ness world. of this section. Reports from
points in the southern part of the State
bring news of a generous downpour and
corresponding improvement in conditions.
At. Santa Barbara an Inch and a half
of rain fell during the past " twenty-tour
hours, with no Indications of a cessation
of the downpour. All points in the vicin
ity of Santa Barbara and along the coast
southward report heavy precipitation,
amounting at some places to two Inches.
The wind at Santa Barbara is blowing
strongly from the southeast, which Is re-

The rainfall to date is 8.12 inches against

There is every prospect of a continued

DOWNPOUR IK THE SOUTH.
All day long the "lids" of dignified
pedestrians were speeding in drunken
tracks through the reeking streets, while
interested spectators, who elected to stay
their arduous courses for a moment,
shouted encouragement U> the unhappy
pursuer. Now and then throughout the
day a man could be Been breaking sprint

and a landscape on his trousers. And all
the time there was no letup of

things were turning into "Adam's ale."
The superstitious trembled lest biblical
as well as profane history might repeat
itself and grew ill with alarm in calculat

But withal, McAdie, the weather
prophet, asserts that the downpour has
just commenced and that the rains will
descend and the floods come for several
days yet. Where it all comes from, not

possesses volumes of. "meteorological lore

SAN MATEO, Jan. 27.-A torrent ran
through the railway depot at Burlingame
to-day to the depth of nearly two feet
and the agent and operator were com
pelled to stand on chairs In order to
transact their business. The Burlinganie
people, imbued with the Idea that there
would be no more wet winters, dammed
an unsightly creek last summer, but
nature to-day asserted herself in the good
old way. In San 1 Mateo the rainfall for
the day was two Inches and five Inches

of the San Mateo-San Francisco electric
railroad was covered witn water at Bur

SAN JOSE. Jan. 27.— Heavy rainfall has

value to this county. Reports received
here this evening from the towns in the
foothills east of Stockton state that many
washouts and landslides have occurred.
Smaller bridges have been washed away
and travel by team is impossible. The
reports of washouts on the Sierra Rail
road are untrue, but all trains have been
stopped, three landslides having occurred.
The trouble occurred in precipitous cuts
through hills, anfi was caused by the
heavy rains saturating the ground and
causing It to give way. Large slices of
the earth caved and covered the track.
Stages were put on to run from James
town to Angels Camp to accommodate
local travel, but owing to the inconveni
ence which would result to train pas
sengers it was deemed best to stop traf

. BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 27.— About 3
o'clock this afternoon a heavy wind

fields in the western part of Kern County.
Sweeping through the midst of the der
ricks, the storm did damage to tho
amount of several thousand dollars. More
than a dozen of the tall derricks were
blown down like ninepins. A large num

In the town of McKittrlck a number of
buildings were damaged.

The rain of last night and to-day was
the hardest experienced for years, and
until 3 o'clock this afternoon there was
much water in the streets, the sewer sys

in this city, as the levees are high above

are excellent guides' to follow In matters
of diet, and a mixed diet of grain?, fruits
and meats is undoubtedly the best.
Ag compared with grains and vegeta-
bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment
in a highly concentrated form and is di-
gcktod and is assimilated more quickly
than vegetables and grains.
Ur. Julius Remmson en this subject
says: "Nervous persons, people run down
in health and of low vitality should eat
meat and plenty of it." If the digestion
i> too feeble at f.rst it may be easily cor-
leeted by the regular use of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. Two
of these excellent tablets t.iken after din-
ner will digest several thousand grains of
meat, epgs or other animal food in three
liourF, and no matter how weak the
stomach may be. no trouble will be expe-
rienced if a regular practice is made of
using Stuart'p Uyspepsia Tablets because
ihey supply the pepsin and diastase nec-
essary to perfect' digestion, and every
form of indigestion will bo cvercome by
iNeir use.
That larg-e cla?? of people who come
i:nder the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and ins.ure its
proper digestion by the daily use of a
.^aSe, harmless digestive medicine like
.Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, composed of
the natural digestive principles, pepsin,
diastase, fruit acids and salts, which
actually perform the work of digestion.
Cheap cathartic medicine?, masquerading
under the name of dyspepsia cures, are
useless for indigestion, as they have ab-
¦olatcly r.o effect upon the actual diges-
tion of food.
Dyspepsia in all Its many forms Is
simply a failure of the stomach to di-
»r<'st food and the sensible way to solve
the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to
make daily use at meai time of a prepar-
ation like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
which i? indorsed by the medical profes-
yiou and known to contain active diges-
tive principles.
