Vetted Mug. 26th, J8S9.
At the age ol 50, with 25 Years of active practice,
I am a careful observer and cautious in endors
ing proprietary medicines, but I can conscientious
ly endorse your Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic
as one of the best combination remedies for Chill
and Fever I have ever used. It corrects the vitiated
secretions of the liver, relieves costiyeness, and pro
motes the absorption and assimilation of food, thus
fulfilling all the indications claimed for it.
Yours- truly,
T. P. EDWARDS, M. D.
Other uhinffs.
Other things cure Fever besides J-ihcsoti’s Chill and
ever Tonic Knt nothing else makes the same character
cure that Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic makes. It
aves the eyes bright, the skin clear, the appetite good. It
uts the liver in the very best pos-ible condition. It cures
hen nothing else wil'. It i-s 100 times better than
uinine. It has received the unqualified endorsement of the
ry best men in this country.
The fame of Johnson’s Tonic and ihe widespread popu-
ritv it enjoyed, led miserable and unscrupulous knaves in
ufiness to imitate as closely as they dared the name and
jpearance of this wonderful medicine.
Counterfeiters of money are more honorable than those
ho would jeopardize the lives of people for gain. If you
iT e fever, use nothing else but Johnson’s Chill and Fever
onic. If you are well, keep well by using Johnson's Chill
d Fever Tonic. •

75 negroes left here today for

the past 12 months several hundred ne

On account of the emigration of largo

Commercial Reciprocity, a tireat
Transcontinental Railroad Project
and Int.rnatlonal Arbitration Are
Among Bubjeots to B. Considered.
Washington, April 24. The com
mission recent!/ appointed by the pres
ident to represent this country at the
congress of American repnblies to bo
held at the City of Mexico His said will
meet in’Washington soon for organisa
tion. It Is expected that a chairman
will be chosen, and there is some talk
that this honor may go to ex-Senator
Davis of West Virginia. There are a
number of applications for the position
of seoretary, bat the choice of this offi
cial will be deferred until the organiza
tion is well along. The instructions to
the American delegates will be given
them early iu the autumn.
Iu tne meantime they will do mnch
preliminary work in the way of sub
dividing the subjects likely to come be.
fore the congress. One brauclt relatos
to commercial affairs. Although there
has not been much practical advance in
bringing about commercial reciprocity
between this country and the southern
republics, there appears to bo a strong
impression on tbe part of some of tho
delegates that tbe coming congress will
pnve tho way to a better understanding
on this subject.
Tbe international railway project is
also under this head, and as Mr. Davis
was a momber of tha committeo wbiob
projected tbe line linking North, Cen
tral and Sooth America, there is a pros
pect that this plan will be revived and
given a tangible aspect.
International Arbitration.
A sab-committee of tbe American
delegates probably will be formed to
oonsider the principal snbjeots which
may come before tbe congress, the most
important being that of international
arbitration for the republics of tbe west
ern hemisphere. Iu Washington tbe
idea seems to.be accepted' that some
‘ in of establishing a permanent court
arbitration will be adopted, and this
view meets approval with some of the
Amerioan delegates as well as the lead
ing officials of the administration. This
action, however, involves some delicate
considerations iu connection with pend
ing controversies between some of tho
South American repnblies.
Owing to tho number cf Spanish dele
gates to the congress, tho proceedings
will bo in Spanish with u roprint in
English.

President Is Anticipated.
Richmond, April 24.—The coming of

event in tbe railroad world in Virginia.
Mr. Barr is one of tbo foremost rail
road men in tho country, aud the Sea

Back Water.
Cincinnati, April 34.—The climax in
the flood was reached here today, as has
been predioted by the weather bureau.
The river rose more slowly during the
night than had been predioted. The
rate averaged only an inch per hour all
night, but a stage of 611 feet was reached
before 6 o'clock this morning. This la
6 feet above the danger line for business
sections and 11 feet above the line whero
the water enters the tenement houses'
known as “Samage Row” and “Rat

is surrounded by back water ou tbe east
and west, as along the sonth side, bnt it
19 estimated now that the stage of 68
feet will not bo reached here and that
the highest point will como today and
relief will soon follow.
Tbe conditions on the Kentaeky side
have not changed, and 110 damage there,
as woll as ou tbis side, is anticipated,
except iu the suspension of work at
some mills aud fnctoriea Of oonrse,
tbe relief that is in sight here dears
everything for tbe 480 miles np to Pitts-
bnrg, and tbe river men say that the
lower Ohio valley will uot suffer so
much, ns the tributaries below here are
not as high os those in tbo npper valley.
Weather Bureau Predictions.
At noon the river had tonelied 68 feet,
bnt the weather bnroan still stood by its
previous predictions, and gave one the
following:
“The Ohio is falling at and below
Parkersburg. Between Point Pleasant
and Parkersburg It is stationary. At
Portsmonth it snontd come to a stand
today. At Cincinnati it will continue
rising at the rate of une-tentb of a foot
or less per hoar today and will reach
about 67.8 feet by 8 o'clock tonight It
should come to a stand here daring
Thnrsday, bnt from the morning re
ports it is feared that it will now exceed
the forecast limit of 68 feet by less than
a foot. Tbe weather qutlook it favora
ble ami tbe river situation in the npper
Ohio is encouraging.”

feet at tho upper caual gauge, and tbo
local weather bureau forecaster believes

basinets bouses at the foot of Fourth,
Fifth, Sixth and Seventh atreeta and is
several feet deep in many collars. Goods
stored there were removed several days
ago aud the only losses suffered by the

bureau, tbe river banks were oleared of
everything movable aud no owners of
property stored there temporarily were
caught napping, as in past floods.
