As there are 144 bottles in & gross the total for asingleSan Francisco firm, 88 you see, was about 45,000 bottles. We are no longer surprised at the growth of the demand for Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and the sales which will doubtless be made this year would be simply phenomenal for any other medicine. My experience has been that noamount of ad- vertising could produce such a result unless the remedy really has all the virtues claimed year. The demand for it is constantall the | Samuel Waller. They are cl year round, and the sale of Hood’s is annually on the increase. This month I have purchased double the usual large quantity which I get from the wholesaler, and I expect that the call for it will keep getting greater. So far asl have observed, it gives entire satisfaction to everybody. Although it is used by so many people, I have never yet heard a word spoken against it or a doubt expressed of 1ts efficacy. ‘When I am asked by customers for an opinion headed young men of ability, and their words have weight. To give an idea of their business capacity it may be remarked that the large drugstore which they conduct was an unprofitable ven- ture until they took hold of it.

They have not yet given the information to the quarter mile track, now being laid off in the north part of the town.

SAN JOSE, CAr., April 6.—The racing board of the gue of American Wheel- men met here to-night at the clubrooms of the Garden City Cyclers, and appointed a few of the official referees of the varlous meets for this year. Al Cole was chosen referee for all meets to be held in 8an Jose, and Walter Sheldon of the Bay City Wheelmen for all meets to be held in San Francisco and Oakland and vicinity. A referee will soon be chosen for Sacramento. It was decided to inaugurate a series of | Pacific Coast championships, and an en- deavor will be made to secure the half-mile championship race for San Jose on July 4.

Jantes G. Steele Says Hood's Sarsaparilia Is Far in the Lead There. James G. Steele gave an interesting state- ment concerning Hood's Sarsaparilla. Mr. Amazingly Large Sales lndicate lts Steele, who is of the firm of James G. Steele & Wonderful Merit. Co., the Palace Hotel druggists, has been in pbusiness in this city over forty-two years. There is probably only one other druggistin San Francisco who has as long a career here as his.

To supply the wants of Europeans and other foreign visitors, he has familiarized himself with the methods of preseription and compounding in vogue in Frdnce, Germany, Spain and all other coun- tries, and he keeps a stock of the local remedies and other preparations to which tourists from abroad may be accustomed.

In fact, he is credited with having announced that he had a “‘dead mortal cinch” on the assistant adjutant-generalship. This was overheard by James Ward, also a Fresnoan, who has been taken by the Governor into the secret service. Mr. Ward is a friend of Major W. D.

BUREAU OF HIGHWAYS. Governor Budd Appoints the Three Mem- bers of the Commission. SACRAMENTO, Car., April 6.—In ac- cordance with the act passed by the la: Legislature establishing a bureaun of high- ways, Governor Budd to-d. appointed Joseph Lee Maude of Riverside County, R. C. Irvine of Sacramento County and Marsden Manson of San Francisco to act | on such burean for the next two years. These gentlemen, whose office will be in | the State Capital building, will expert the | whole road question throughout the State, advise the different counties, search out all uneconomical methods existing and disseminate information on economical road construction. In connection with the Governor and the State Prison Directors this bureau is 1o establish a rock-crushing plantat one or both of the State prisons as soon as satis- factory rat@s of transportation can be agreed upon and when 50,000 cubic yards of road material have been subscribed for, the Boards of City Truestees and Su- pervisors of Sacramento city and county have already agreed to take 45,000 cubic yards, and no difficulty will be experienced in placing the remainder of the requisite amount. Mr. Maude, who will probably act as head of the bureau, was formally surveyor of San Begnardino and is a grad- uate of the military engineer depart- and also of the Washington University of 8t. Louis, is the anthor of the bill under which the bureau was called into existence and is an ardent advocate of good roads for California. R. C. Irvine was formerly Assessor of Sacramento County. He is a thorough | agriculturist, and a pioneer agitator of the Sacramento Humane Society he called together the tirst good-road convention ever held on the Pacific Slope, and raised the amount of money needed to defray its expences. Marsden Manson has been prominently identified for years with some of the larg- est engineering problems of the State, such as irrigation and drainage. He also held the position of civil engineer for the State Harbor Commission, the Sewer Commis- sion and the Board of Public Works. The bureau will organize next Tuesday and immediately proceed to their work. DIES ON A STOCKION BOAT. Apoplexy Kills a Steersman While He Is at the Wheel. STOCKTON, Cavn, April 6.—As the steamer Captain Weber was at the head reach on her trip from San Francisco to Stockton at 2 o’clock this morning, Albert Hansen, the wheelman of the boat, dropped dead. Besides him there were in the pilot-house Captain Potvin and Pilot Cun- ningham. Hansen seemed in his usual health and was the cause of his death. Hansen was 26 years old and a native of Gutenburg, Sweden. He- was engaged to be married to an Oakland young lady in ubout six weeks. He has relatives living in Oakland. Attempt at Assassination. STOCKTON, Car., April 6.—G. Tewess, an errati¢ young fellow, made an attempt to kill James A. Kelly, a prominent real estate agent, at 10:45 o’clock this morning. He entered Kelly’s office and fired a shot SACRAMENTO, Oawn, April 6.—The most absorbing matter of interest to the local Democracy at the present time in this city is the third judgeship. Hon. H. M. La Rue headed a delegation of the re- organized party to-day and received an audience with the Governor in the interest of D. E. Alexander for that position,” but his Excellency refused to state who would receive the appointment. Joseph Hughes will probably receiv e the appointment, although the friends of W. H. Devlin are by no means disheartened and lay claims to having the inside track. Grove L. Johnson while disclaiming all knowledge on the subject, says that Mapor Steinman of Sacramento will succeed in electing his candidate. On the other hand Hughes’ friends are extremely confident of his ultimate success. In the meantime the resultis awaited | with great anxiety by all parties concerned. CHASE OF SL.\I'I;(.'T; ON WHEELS. Officers in Yolo County Following Alleged Clews to Train-Robber Brady. SACRAMENTO, Car., April 6. — Sheriff Griffen of Yolo County received informa- tion yesterday which led him to believe that the murderer of Sheriff Bogard, who is supposed to be secreted in the vicinity of Sacramento, would attempt to make his escape on the train that leaves this city at 2:30 o’clock P. M. He immediately notified Railroad De- tective Al Gibson of this city, who joined him at Davisville, and on the arrival of the train at that place they made a thor- ough search. They failed to find the sus- pect, however. While in Davisville they were informed by two prospectors that a man answering the description of Sheniff Bogard’s mur- derer had been seen by them on the road between Madison and Winters in Yolo County. He was going north against the heavy wind and was evidently greatly fatigned. The officials of the surrounding country were immediately notified, and have gone in pursuit.

Every housewife gives her dwelling an annual cleaning, and if she lets the duty go unfulfilled beyond a certain month she does not feel contented. What the employment of brooms, dusters, carpet-beaters and all the rest of the paraphernalia is to the house the use of Hood’s Sarsaparilla is to the ‘body. If 2 residence of brick or wood deserves such attention each year certainly the structure in which the mind lives is worthy of similar care. The mind, like the housekeeper who inhabits the dwelling, has a sense of discontent if the cleaning be not done. Spring is the time set by nature for this renovation. That the process of purification is best ac- complished by Hood's SBarsaparilla nobody who lives in this city can doubt after reading what the prominent druggists quoted in this con- nection say. Wherever these gentlemen are known thelr utterances will have influence. They are leaders in the drug business, and their judgment in relation to Hood’s Sarsa- parilla is based on facts and figures. Each of their statements is not simply the expression of one man, butitis the consensus of the views of thousands. The demand for this pleasant and effective medicine has, they say, been wonderfully great. The public has become satisfied that Hood’s is the only blood purify- ing preparation, and the sale of it has been continually on the increase. The observations of these business men are better than loads of testimonials of the old-fashioned kind. REMARKABLE SALES. Mack & Co., Wholesale Druggists, Praise Hood's Sarsaparill. The name of Mack & Co. is known far beyond the confines of California. This firm is engaged in the wholesale drug business, and it has a reputation along the coast from the Canadian line to the Mexican border for its ability, en- terprise and square dealing. During the fif- teen years of its existence it has built up a great trade, which is rapidly extending. Com- mendation of Hood’s Sarsaparilla by men of this character is noteworthy. Their esteem of that remedy is most high. " The firm is composed of A. Mack and L. Guggenhime. They have been together since | the house was started. Both are comparatively | young yet, and are now among the foremost wholesale merchants in this part of the country. The firm began business at 11 Front street. It now occupies all of the large build- ing there, and also the edjoining one at 9 | Front street. | Mr. Mack happened to be disengaged for a | few minutes when the reporter visited the store, and with him a chat was had. He readily gave the views of the firm about Hood’s | Sarsapatilla. “The remarkable sale of Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the best proof to my mind of the intrinsic merit of the preparation,” said Mr. Mack., informed by the wholesale dealers that my orders have been very large in comparison with those of other drugstores. I have sold Hood’s Sarsaparilla ever since it first came out. 1 soon found that Hood’s was & very meritori- ous preparation, and instead of being over- shadowed by any other remedy its fame has so spread that it is now in greater request than any other medicine, “I have from time to time opened bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla,” continued Mr. Steele, “gnd, as I have made all sorts of pharma- ceutical preparations, I could judge by exam- ining its properties whether it was com- pounded according to the statements made on the labels and in its circulars and advertise- ments. I satisfied myself that it was. It is composed entirely of vegetable remedies. The Sarsaparilla is not unpleasant to take; it leaves no disagreeable after taste in the mouth, and it does not unduly disturb the stomach or di- gestive system. I consider it a fine alterative and corrective of abnormal symptoms in either sex and in old or young. We sell much more of this excellent preparation than we do of any other of the so-called sarsaparillas, tonics, alteratives or compounds.” Mr. Steele is fitted to pass judgment on me dicinal preparations. His studies and investi- gations have been deep and thorough. In 1874 and 1875 he was official chemical analyst of thig city and county, and he won encomi- ums for the completeness and reliability of his work. The sounduess of his official re- ports was made manifest in an important court trial at that time.

He Has Found That Hood's Sarsaparilla Is Considered the Best. 8. A. McDonnell’s pharmacy, at 110 Grant avenue, between Geary and Post streets, is one of the handsomest in the entire city. Mr. McDonnell is among the oldest druggists in San Franeisco, he having been in the business here since 1861. His character may be judged by the fact that he was employed by one hounse for seventeen consecutive years, and he could have continued holding his high-salaried position during the remainder of his life if he had not concluded to branch out for himself. His store is fitted up in the most modern style, is complete in every respect, and the business which was begun there in 1887 has grown rapidly. “While T manufacture many preparations myself,” said Mr. McDonnell, “I buy large quantities of proprietary medicines, and I have no difficulty in selling all of my stock of Hood’s Sarsaparilla very quickly. Conse- quently my orders for it are numerous every PALACE HOTEL DRUGGIST JAMES G. STEELE. DRUGGIST S. A. MCDONNELL. amount sold is the best indication of its value. If it were not very good, indeed, the sale of it would not keep on getting larger and larger. The constant and increasing demand is a sure manifestation that Hood's Sarsaparilla has benefited all who have used it. “Now, let me tell you a little trade secret. | Myseli and other druggists make nothing on Hood's Sarsaparilla at present, on account of trade conditions which the druggists here have brought about themselves. As thereis no profit in it for me, there is no inducement for me to handle it, but I cannot avoid doing 80, for people come in and ask for Hood’s, and it is business policy for me to give them what they want. They will not take any other, they want only "Hood’s, and if I have not got it they will go elsewhere. I might try to sell some other preparation on which I would make a profit, but the customer would not feel satisfied.” These remarks not only show the solid repu- taticn of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, but give a sug- gestion of the keen business sense of Mr. Mc- At the Midwinter Exposition Waller Brothe ers had the proud distinction of carrying off three gold medals for their own productions. They are the official druggists for thirty-five societies, among them being organizations of the Foresters of America, the Ancient Order of United Workmen, the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith, the Red Men and other equally prominent bodies. Their standing has always been high. The brothers are graduates of the College of Pharmacy of the University of Cali- fornia, are competent analysts and assayists, and when they agree with the public as to the virtnes of a remedy even confirmed skeptics may well admit the werth of the medicine. “Thefact is that some physicians prescribe Hood’s Sarsaparilla in the formulas which they have sent to our drugstore,” said S8amuel Waller. “Itisthe household regulator of the poor man, but it is used notalone by people | of moderate means.

Donnell. Heis determined to please his cus- tomers. That is one reason of his suscess. THE BEST OF ALL. What the Prominent Firm ‘of Waller Bros. Says of Hood's. “0f all the sarsaparillas, Hood’s is by far the best, judging by the sales,” satd Samuel Waller of the well-known firm of Waller Bros., drug- glsts, at the southwest corner of Geary street and Grant avenue. “It is a preparation for which there has been & wondernl demand. If it were not of the highest merit it could not have maintained its prestige for years asit has done. The call for it at our store has been steadily increasing. Itisa poor day for busi- ness when we do not hand over at least two dozen bottles to customers. It is the great spring medicine, you know, and we expect to sell a great deal of it this season.” The firm is composed of Julian L. Waller and Ii there is any panacea for diseases I really believe it is Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It cures more ailments than any preparation I know of, sim- ply by purifying the blood and toning up the system. Though it is used by more people in spring than at other times of the year, gener- ally speaking, there is a large demand for it here even during the winter months on ac- count of its tonic properties. Many young ladies who go to entertainments night after night and thus weary themselves, find, as they have told me, that Hood's Sarsaparilla keeps heir system in order and acts in a gentle way which restores their energy. Before they be- gan using it they were troubled with ennui, and all that has vanished. Its blood-cleansing qualities are too familiar to be mentioned by me. Itisthe best selling article of any kind that we have in the store, and we keep all the preparations. There is nothing that druggists sell which we don’t have, and so you can see that this comparison concerning Hood’s Sarsa- parilla means a good deal.”
