Indigestion

1 itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feehled, is the parent OF innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, OF Brockway
Centre, Mich
Liver complaint and indigestion
made my life a burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds OF food distressed Inc. and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that / took seemed to do
any permanent good until l commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rllla | could see an Improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken. my strength i'm

FRUIT SALES.
4 Prediction That California Will Soon
MO1OpOlize The Eastern Markets.

New YORK, July 24-Edward l. Good
sell, in an interview to-day, confirmed all
that has been said concerning the field for
California fruits this season. He deals in
fruit largely and is in a position to speak
with authority. He says all fruit crops in
Delaware, New Jersey and New York are
practically ruined. What promised to be a
fine crop of Bartlett pears in this State has
been destroyed. The prices for California
fruit in this market are higher than for
fruit grown near by, because the quality is
superior and better graded and packed. lie
says it is not an eXaggeration to say that
few years hence California will entirely
supply this market with fruit. Illus trative
of the readiness of the market, he said that
he sold four carloads of California fruit at
auction this morning within fOrty-fve
minutes. lie predicts $500 carloads of
California fruit will be sold in this market
this season. At his auction sale to-day the
following prices were realized: Gros
prunes, 81 40; Washington plums, SIS 80;
Columbia plums, s. - to So so; German
prunes, SO Is; P. D. plums, So 10 to So 80;
Early Crawford peaches, So 10 to 81 0j;

New YORK, July 24.-The Worlds Fair
Committee concluded its work this after
noon and left for Washington, In an in
terview Commissioner Mckenzie said the
committee had been profoundly impressed
with the views of General Goshorn
and Governor Mccormack, the latter
gentleman having been Director of
the American exhibit in Paris in 1878.
Commissioner Mckenzie said The committee
was particular to get his views upon the
best policy looking toward concentration
of power for the best management of the
undertaking. Although no conclusion has
been reached yet. it is very probable that a
DiTectOr-General will be appointed TO have
the entire control in all matters, the matter
being subject, however, to confirmation by
the Executive Committee. One difficulty
that might arise would be friction with
the Local Committee, hut the National
Committee proposed 10 retain power enough
to make the fair national one. General
Goshorn and Governor Mccormick are to
formulate their views in writing. The re-
port of this committee will be presented to

New Montgomery, Saturday afternoon, died
at S:15 o'clock last evening in the Lick
House from injuries sustained in the acct
dent. He was surrounded by his father,
mother, sisters, brothers, his wife and three
small children at the hour OF death and left
the world with eloquent words of farewell
upon his lips. He was conscious to the last.
The Coroner was notified of his death
and at late hour last night arrangements
were made to have the remains taken to an
undertaker's establishment for embalming
and thence to Fresno for burial.
4. j. Griffths was popular among his
associates at the bar, prominent politicians
of the State and those people who knew
him in social intercourse, and the report of
his untimely death was heard with many
expressions OF sorrow on all sides. Here in
San Francisco lie was widely known and
respected. He was born in January, 1S49,
In North Carolina. and while mere boy
started out for himself, graduating from
Emory and Henry College, Virginia, in
1874, mainly by his own individual efforts.
From the beginning almost he learned to
rely on himself, and when he had reached
mans estate was self made, and able to
take his part with the most prominent of
his fellows. He took the Robinson prize
for eXcelency in Oratory when graduating,
and in later years his ability was recognized
throughout the State as man of literature
and an orator.
After coming to California he accepted
the chair of natural science in the Pacific

his five years connection with the college

law, and in the autumn of 1879 obtained
license in Fresno County to practice at the
bar. Since then he lived and practice1 law
at Fresno, and during the real estate ex-
element of 1888 engaged extensively in
real estate transactions.
In politics he was a Democrat, and an

worked earnestly and faithfully. He was
a delegate from Fresno to the coming

sented his county in the Assembly, and
with honor to himself. lie placed in nomi-

1880, and Justice Jackson Temple for As
sistant Justice of the Supreme Court.
He leaves widow and three children,
the youngest of whom is but 81 years of
age. His parents and brothers and sisters
also survive him. The brothers are very
determined on holding the street railroad
company responsible Tor his death. They
claim that there can be no doubt of the
company's culpabllity,
