AERONAUT WESTON.
The Daring Aerial Gymnast Promises
something Startling.

For several Sundays past George
Weston, the aeronaut, has been max
ing ascensions at Oak Park in the
presence of thousands of people. The
feats that he performs on the trapeze
while shooting up into the sky would
be regarded as hazardous even in a
hall, with a net spread below to catch
him in case he should fall, but Weston
does these things when thousands of
feet in the air.
He will make another ascension and
parachute jump tomorrow afternoon.
and announces that he will give a
new and thrilling addition to his reg
ular daredevil performances" He
does not say what it will be, but it will
doubtless be worth seeing.

Nerves are weak, many people say,

that they are literally starving their
nerves. Weak, pale, thin blood can
not give proper sustenance = that is
why you are nervous, tired, exhausted.
The cure for this condition is to
purify, vitalize and enrich your blood.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla fairly and
faithfully, and the rich, red blood,
which it makes, will soon feed the

1t is a noticeable fact that when the

EASTERN FRUIT SHIPMENTS.
Fifteen Carloads Started Over the
Mountains Yesterday.
First Expectation Train Of the Season
Will Leave for London Next Tues
day-Heavy Pear Crop.

Fruit of all kinds continues to bring
good prices in Eastern markets, and
while shipments of apricots, cherries
peaches and plums have been light dur
ing the past week, pears are just COM
ing in from down the river districts, and
by the middle of this week practi-
'cally the crop of the State will be ready
for harvesting. 1t may here be said
that the ripening pears are of a bet
ter variety than those already shipped.
OF the fifteen cars of fruit shipped
East yesterday seven and one-fourth
plums, two apricots, one and one
fourth peaches, one-fourth cherries and
three-fo fourths mixed varieties. OF the
number Chicago gets two cars. New
York eight, Boston three, Omaha one
and other points one.
Total shipments for the season from
the State, up to and including yester-
day, were 402 cars, as against 4SS for
the same period last year, which would
go to show that, aside from the late
ness Of the spring, the supply of last
season was not SO greatly in excess of
the present, as has been stated.
The pear crop is the heaviest ever
known in the State, and the prospects
for fancy prices for well-packed lots are
good, owing to the fact that the pear
crop in the Eastern States will be
short.
That the shipments Of peaches have
brought fancy prices is as much due to
the excellent condition of the lots
when laid down, as to the fact that the
competition from Eastern and Southern
sections was light, and the prospects
for continued good prices are bright.
Reports have shown that for the past
few weeks the green fruit in New Jer-
sey orchards has been dropping badly;
and recent advices state that the heavy
windstorm which passed through that
section has blasted the hopes Of the
growers, and that the crop will be a
total failure.
There is on exhibit in the Office of
the Goodell California Fruit Line in this
city number of boxes of cherries
which have been on cold storage for
month. They are in a remarkable
state of preservation, and show that no
dampness or moisture whatever has
reached them. A box taken out four
days ago shows no sign of decay.
On Tuesday next the California
Fruit Transportation Company will
start the first expectation fruit train
of the season from this city for New
York, and it is expected the distance
will be covered in 120 hours. The train
will consist of five cars loaded with
pears and designed for the London mar
kets. Upon arriving at New York the
fruit will be loaded upon an ocean
steamer without delay, and, it is ex-
pected, will be laid down in London
twelve or thirteen days after leaving
Sacramento The company propose to
follow the first train by similar one
each week throughout the season, and
believe that handsome prices will be
realized.
There is practically no change in the
demand for dried fruits, and the can
| ming season has not yet well opened.
