At the age of 50, with 25 years of active practice, I am a careful observer and cautious in endors- :ntr 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. mts the liver in the very best possible condition. It cures rhen nothing else will. It is 100 times better than luinine. It has received the unqua'ified endorsement of the ■ery best men in this country. The fame of Johnson’s Tonic and the widespread popu arity it enjoyed, led miserable and unscrupulous knaves in juiiness to imitate as closely as they dared the name and ippearance of this wonderful medicine, Counterfeiters of money are more honorable than those rho would jeopardize the lives of people for gain. If you iave fever, use nothing else but Johnson’s Chill and Fever Ionic. If you are well, keep well by using Johnson's Chill nd Fever Tonic.

Ohicaoo, May 6.—Jamieson & Co., 169 LaSallo street, one of the largest Stock brokerage linns iu the west, have suspended. They were unable to meet their obligations on the New York stock exchange. Mr. Jamieson declares hie belief that his firm could pay its creditors in full. Customers of the firm are said to have been short on the x*ew York 8took Exobange, but were unable to produce sufficient margins to cover the 1 advance of stocks Thlsthrsw the the details of thU policy operating heads of the concerns of tho United States Steel corporation have been in conference in New York. Undoubtedly the plau will revert with greatest bene fit to tho Pittsburg district ns tho most favored place iu the United States Steel corporation's Hold.” The above is the statement of Joslina Rhodes of Pittsburg, retired as chair man of the board of directors of the National Steel Tnbo company, now n toastituent of tho United Stntes Steel corporation, <n reply to an inquiry as to whether the uew Morgau combine had adopted its policy. The adoption of this policy of central izing operations by the United States Steel corporation will mean to the Pitts burg district, if carried into effect with out delay, the bringing here within a year of about 60,000 mill men from plants of the company that will be abandoned. Massing of mnch more of the operations of the company in Pitts burg will not only add to the number of mill men employed hero, bat tho plants from whloh the most Important eup- ilies of raw material are drawn iu this jistrict will also take on more msu.

The Amorican Bridge company has bad plans for new $1,000,000 plant to bo erected in tho Pittsburg district. The American Bridge company has its plants scattered through tho enst at poiuts whero they are at disadvantage to operate, nud some aro considered for abandonment. The recent announcement that tho American Sheet Steel company had given np its plan to operate tho new and costly plant at Chester, W. Vn., was a reflection of the new policy of the new Morgan comnany. Tho equipment of this plant will bo taken to Vandergrift, where the most modern plant of tlio company, that of the Apollo Iron and Steel company, ia operated Since tho sheet company formed it has abandoned a number of its plants of lesser importance, and nearly all of the apparatus of these wa9 sent to Vendor- grift. Other plants of the company, located at Cambridge, East Liverpool, Coshocton, Dresden, Niles, Cauton, Ca nal, Dover and Piqoo, O., and Carnegie and Ridgepark, Pa., are among those bo- ing considered to be centered in a large plant at Van lergrlft.
