A CALIFORNIA SENSATION.
[Petaluma Courier.l


It reported that the sales of the "California
Remedy" Joys Vegetable sarsaparilla, have
grown within few months till they are now
really sensational. The way the fame of this
production has spread is simply marvellous.
Six months ago it was unknown. To-day it
is all over the country. 1t is authoritatively
stated that they have been actually giving it
away in San Francisco to people afflicted with
dyspepsia, sick headaches, indigestion and
liver troubles, not to be paid for unless it
cured. Such practical tests are so startlingly
convincing as to be almost sensational. 1t is
stated that two of the active principles of the
new remedy belong to the vegetable kingdom
of California and are so well known to us all
under common names that it would surprise
US if told them. But we are not surprised at
anything Californian, and this recent discov-
cry of the new medicinal virtues of its vegeta-
bic kingdom is but another instance of the
astonishing possibilities of soil and climate
like ours

POLICE COURT.
Ex-officer Green Pleads Guilty and Sem
tence Postponed.

EN-Omcer Green Pleads Guilty and Sem
tence Postponed.
In the Police Court yesterday morning
William McCants was fined S. for disturb
ing the peace.
When the case of ex-policeman George
Green, charged with battery, was called, his
attorney, E. G. Hart waived the reading of
the complaint, pleaded guilty and asked
that sentence be postponed until Tuesday
next. Mr.. Hart stated as his reasons for
asking the postponement that his eli
ent was another illustration of the adage
that misfortunes never come singly. He
had been dismissed from the police force a
few days ago and had just received tele-
gram announcing the death of his father,
and was not in that frame of mind that
would enable him to stand up under a
judgment of the Court. He believed there
were some extenuating circumstances in
his case before the Board of Police Com
missioners.
City Attorney Church said he had no OBJ
lection to the postponement, and Judge
Buckley, in granting the motion, remarked
that he thought it very proper one under
the circumstances. The defendant was in
Court, and apparently deeply moved by
the receipt of the news of his father death

Clunia onera House

The Scott Mills Ponstelle Company came
without any flourish of trumpets Nobody
knew anything about it here, and very
little information concerning it could be
gained. 1t presented last night "Chip O.
the Old Block" TO good house-the storm
considered. The audience departed entirely
satisfied. The play is a light musical
comedy with the very faintest suggestion
of plot but still plot, which seven
tenths of the musical comedy productions
have not. The play is the slightest of
frames to inclose some capital character
actors and singers. Scott and Mills are
both good light comedians, original and
vivacious and made friends of the audience
at once. Miss Bonstelle is handsome,
graceful and engaging soubrette, singing
well, dancing better, a good mimic and
possessed of strong dramatic talent that
promises great deal for her. Though she
is so unfortunate in head-gear as to make
up IN appearance as woman twice her
age, she is but girl of seventeen, and as
such is an exceedingly clever and promis-
ing comedy actress of strong personal
magnetism. The quintet of the company
is an excellent one and was encored
last evening over and over again.
Helen Norton is capable in a rather thank
less part. Barney Reynolds is an excellent
character actor, versatile and full of quaint
humer. The heavy man of the company
is weak, and Miss LAPEL his support,
makes no favorable impression as to her
capacity. But these are minor characters
and cut a small figure IN the evenings en-
tertainment. The performance is clean,
sparkling, novel, full of merriment, song
and dance ana witty repartee, and is ninety
per cent. better than anything in the farce
r-o hoH for
time, except Daniels " Little Puck" and
which still was Objectionable in matters
this company and piece avoids. A second
performance this evening

Orapre Growing in Placer County


An enormous cluster of beautiful large
oranges has been received at this office
from ]. w. Smyth, of Horseshoe Bar, on
the American river, six miles south of
Newcastle and about the same distance east
of Loomis. Mr.. Smyth says: ''The tree
upon which they grew is twenty-seven
years old and a Seeding. 1t has been bear
ing fifteen years, affording large crop
every year. There are about 5000 oranges
on the tree at this time. l believe the tree
is one of the Oldest, if not the oldest orange
tree in Placer county. You can see that
orange-growing in Northern California is
no longer in any sense an experiment, but
an honest and fully demonstrated practi-
cal fact. l have several large Seeding from
this older tree, which are now twelve wears
old, and are now bearing full as we'll in
proportion to age and size of trees as the
one have described"
