A CALIFORNIA SENSATION,
fpetaluma Courier. l


Unsupported thatthe sales ofthe 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 ell
under common names that it would surprise
us If told them. But we are not surprised ut
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 4 soil and climate
like ours

DEATH OF "BILL. BRIGGS.
A Sporting Man Well Known all Over
the State.

the State.
The San Francisco Chronicle of yesterday
has the following in regard to W. r. Briggs
who died at his residence in that city on
Monday night:
Bill Briggs. as he was famiIiar,y known
has for the past forty years been one of the
noted characters Of this State. He came
here from ST. Joseph, Mo, in ls49. In his
youth he had a penchart for the green
cloth that was almost an infatuation. Ar
irving here in the days of the gold fever.
when gambling was reiguing supreme, he
went beadlong into The whirl. Wherever
there was gold dust ready to be placed on

Briggs was on hand. In 1850 he was il,
San Francisco presiding over table and in
1882 was az the same business in Sacra-
mento.
He is described in those early davs as
being fine-looking fellow, little abrupt

career be visited every county in the State.
aud was as we'll known in San Diego as in
Shasta. He was Il permanent resilient OF
this city for over thirty years, in the course
OF which be ran many noted faro game.
About twenty months ago be was stricken
with paralysis of the lower limbs, and until
his death suffered much. He was confined
continually to bis bed, at times in perfect
agony, A few days ago friend called to
see him. During the visit his physician
also called, aud as his visitor left the room
the friend asked the doctor what was his
condition. The latter answered that he
was getting along well. Mr. Briggs over

iessness, for the matter of that-and to an
extent that leads US to "take the chances"
But we cannot afford to continue such
policy. Because we have SO rich her.
itage in climate, and are so peculiarly
blessed by nature that people of the
great East flee to our shores to escape
arctic winters and torrid summers, is the
very reason why we should be diligent in
observing sanitary laws in the matter of
the cleanliness of our cities and lesser ag-
gregations of population. In 1872 Boston
established a Municipal Board of Health,
with very arbitrary power to enforce sani-
tary regulations. Zymotic diseases then
caused SO per cent. of the mortality in
that city. Under the enforced cleanliness
policy that was inaugurated by that Board
this percentage fell by 1886 to Is,
and it has not since risen. This is
but single instance out of hundred
prominent ones that might be cited, of the
results of intelligent and firm enforcement
of public sanitary regulations. The ex-
pense of cleanliness in municipalities has
been greatly overestimated. Practically,
it is money-saver, and after being enforced
in any city for single season so convinces
the people of this truth that there is no
record OF community having abandoned
it. Fully three-fourths of the garbarge
that is now cast into low places, creating a
false and disease-breeding soil, can be
utilized and rendered innocuous by crema-
ton, and in several cities the product of
the process pays the entire cost CT gather
ing and cremating the daily accumulations
of filth In hot valleys like those of Cali
fornia it is the only perfectly efiectual
method of disposing of decaying vegetable
and animal matter, for heat is the chief of
deodorizing and purifying agencies. In
such city as this, or indeed in any city,
1t should be made criminal ofiense to
bury any kind of vegetable or animal re-
fuse whatever. In fact, all garbage is less
injurious to the public health if left ex-
posed to the action of the sun than if
buried to rot in and poison the soil, the
deadly exhalations of which are given off
nightly when the air becomes cooler than
the earth. OF these facts sanitary science
has made actual demonstration, the sub
ject having passed out of the realm of
theory. Yet in not single one of the
towns or cities in California is garbage dis
posed of otherwise than by deposition in
dump heaps upon the surface of the soib
burial beneath it, or by being cast into the
tidal waters. The first and second methods
ought to be abandoned forthwith-the
third is willful waste. 1t is probable, how
ever, that we will continue to adhere to
our uneconomic methods until a great
epidemic of resistless disease enforces a
lesson that reason teaches us daily. We
will continue to pollute the soil with
garbage, and by saturation with worse
filth through the cesspool agency, until it
returns to us the harvest of disease and
death for which we are undeniably sowing
seed recklessly.

RAILROAD NOTES.
Remarkable Increase in Traffic on All
the Lines

the Lines.
"If things keep on in this way" said a
depot official last night to RECORD UNION
reporter, don't see how we are going to
handle the business that comes and goes
from here. No. 1 (the overland express)
went out tonight in two sections, ana will
be in two sections again tomorrow night.
This depot isn't half large enough to ac-
commodate the traffic, which is increasing
on every line and in all directions"
Just then the Oregon express rolled into
the depot with its long string of twelve
coaches.
g See there" said the party speaking.
There are three sleepers on that train, and
every one of them crowded. Why, it beats
an ordinary overland train. An entire car
is required for the Government msils the
Express Company now occupies a whole
car by itself, and the baggage-ca car has all it
can hold. And look at that long string of
well-filled passenger coaches. If anybody
thinks there amt some railroad traffic
along these lines let him come and be con
WINGED"
At this point an order came 10 put on
two more cars, to accommodate the throng
of people that had assembled in the wait
ing-room, ready to depart for their homes
at points all along the upper Sacramento
valley. most of whom were laden with
packages and bundles containing purchases
made in this city during the day
The east-bound overland express was an
hour and half late last night in reaching
the city, owing to the ferryboat Solano not
having resumed its trips when the train
reached Port Costa
The local, or second-class, train arrived
half an hour late, although connection was
made by way of Benicia, while the Oregon
express arrived on time.
There will arrive by the overland ex-
press for the East this evening Raymond

remain over in this city until morning, in
order to cross the Sierra Nevada by day

Work is progressing on the new yard
tracks northeast of the railroad shops,

SANITATION OF CITIES AND TOWNS

With the approach Of summer the CUES
tiou of the sanitation Of cities and towns
again assumes public Importance. In this
matter We are very much like the tradi-
tional Arkansas contented man. We for
get or put aside the fear of filth diseases
when the winter is on, and when summer
warmth sends to our nos,rils the warning
OF caution we fail to do thorough work in
sanitation because it is too hot. There is
no sarcasm in the suggestion, since ii is of
official record that municipal officials of
more than one Americas city when ccnta-
gion runs riot object TO any remedial
activity, on the ground that more of i'll
than benefit results from stirring up foul
odors in the heat of summer, and such OIL
jections have generally prevailed But
we have before us in California the testi-
raony of the State Board of Health that
our towns and cities are not cleansed as
they should be, and that as a rule the
geniali;y Of our climate has affected our
people with species Of carelessness--reck-
