An attack o( Fever at
this time of year, with
Quinine as the treat
ment, means a week or
ten days lost from Busi
ness.
It means ten days of
unhappiness for you and
ten days of hard work
and anxiety for those'
who love you.
This is putting it in its
very happiest aspect. It
might mean your death,
and it often means a
breakdown in general
health from which some
recuperate very slowly.
If you are a rich man
your time is worth much
to your estate. If you

lire a jioor man. your time Is worth much more to your family.- The rich
man might lietter alford to suffer a loss of *100.00 a day, as a result from en
forced absence from business than the poor man cat, lose the value of his labor.
Bot h itien rich or jioor-are stupld to lose 10 days when 44 to 48 hours is
the limit of lime required to put them in good condition by Johnson's Chill and
f ever-Tonic.
I always feel sorry for the family that is wedded to the plan of subjecting
I l.eiuselves to the Quinine treatment.
The process is slow. The result uncertain. The treatment disappointing.
Johnson s Tonic has two cardinal points that should iuimediatelv commend
it to every thinking man in this country.
First of all, it is harmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmless under all cir*
i u instances. ,
Second, it is quick; it acts at once. In 1)0 minutes after its administration,
it enters the blood and begins to undo the mischief caused by Malaria.
It lias a wonderful record of 17 years of success. 91)9 cases out of every
1000 are promptly cured, and the 1000th case can be easily cured by doubling
the dose and taking it a little oftener.
Johnson's Tonic is a wonderful medicine. It is not mere merchandise. It
is superb. No remedy in the whole domain of Materia Medica is more positive
in its action and unfailing in its results.
It will cure. It will cure every time. It will cure every case of Fever. It
will cure any type of fever.
It is the one great medicine that seldom disappoints.
Don’t trifle with Fever. If allowed to run, it is like a house allowed to
burn—it will consume you. Use Johnson's Tonic. Use nothing else.
Now, take your choice. Lie in bed for days, or maybe weeks, and poison
your digestion with Quinine, and arise finally with all the life and Tim taken
out of you, or use Johnson's Tonic and be restored at once to perfect health.
No Ices of vital force. No loss of flesh. No waste of precious tima Take your
choice

Cairo, III.,' April 21.—Although no
complete lint of either the victims -or
of the survivor* is yet obtainable, 'in
vestigation today indicates that iihncKt
one-half of the 150 people on the City
of Pittsburg were lost when then ill
fated steamer was burned yeste edny at
Ogden's Landing, between this city
and Padurah. Many of those who
were tirought to' this city are suffering
from injuries, exposure and fright. The
number aboard was about eepinlly di
vlded between passengers and crew
the latter suffering the greater loss In
casualties.
The names of many of the "roust
abouts" were not known, and the nuro
ber drowned or burned la not likely to
ever be ascertained. The tire started
In the lower part ot the steamer, in the
freight material or possibly In the en
gine room, and shut off the means of
escape there while passengers jiimped-
overboard from the upper decks.
Penned In by Flames.
Within ten minutes of the dlscov
ery of fire at 4 a. m. survivors say
the upper decks were swept by flames
and passengers were penned In on all
sides, even the life preservers being cut
oil by the flames. The panic 1 which fol
lowed caused a greater lots of life than
would have ensued If the olllcers could
have controlled the terror stricken
people.' Some rushed through the
flames and perished; others fainted
and sank, down to be cremated.- Many
In their night robes, some of them
afire, jumped overboard and were
drowned. Those that got Into the boats
saw others drowning as tbelr over
crowded crafts pulled to shore. The
barely clad survivors on the shore not
only witnessed horrifying scenes
around the charred hull, but also suf.
ferecl from early' rtiorhing till relief
came in the afternoon.
The captain says there were 65 pas
sengers, not including a dozen babies.
There were as many women as men
In the cabin and the Indications are
that the greater percentage of lossps
was among the Women and children,
Register and Recorde Burned.
As the register, with alj other rec :
orda, was burned and the survivors
scattered in every direction, there is
great difficulty In getting a Mat of sur
vivors. If Is conceded that many
bodies will never be recovered, so that
there' will never be a complete list Qt
the vlctlma. It is thought that many
charred bodies will be found In the
hull of tlie burned steamer when the
mass of embers ceases burning so that
the search for the remains can be
made.

bounteous plenty of their breakfast
with the starvation they were often
called upon to endure during tbe war,
wete'ln high good humor. The build

Texas Reunion association. From pil

tains. Electric lights In profusion
gave n perfect light and added mate
rially to the ornamentation of the In
terior; - The crowds were composed
not aldne of veterans, but of tfielr
sons and wives and daughters. Maids'
of honor and siionsora, some, notkbly
those from Louisiana, in brasa but
tons and confedr^tc gray, but the ma
jority In cool wb-.c, lent an air of or
namentation to the scene. No applause
was more enthusiastic than theirs and
no sympathy more apparent, aa tj^y

Governor Sayers Welcomes Visitors.
Following the opening of tbe meet
ing by General Vanzandt the Rev. J.
William Jones, chaplain general, de
livered a touching Invocation. Govefn-
or Joseph D. Sayres, on beliair of the
;state of Texas, then welcomed the via
Itors to tbe state. Governor Sayres
said, in part;
_ ' "V ^ this mighty gather! ,g after
so ill... years, from every part of tbe
aouiliicnd, utteats with convincing cm.
phasle the enduring affection for them
among the living.' or oar drad It may
in all truth be said:
•How sleep the brave who sink to real,
By all their country's -wishes blest!
When spring, with dewy-flngcr* cold,
Returns to deck.their hallowed mould,
She there shall dreaa a sweeter sod
Than fancy's feet have ever trod.
"‘By fairy hands their knell la rung,
E.v forma unseen their dirge Is sung;
There honor comes a pilgrim gray
To bless the turf that wraps theii
clay;
And freedom shall awhile repair
To dwell a weeping hermit there.’
“But magnificent beyond all descrip
tion. aa was the exhibition of Ameri
can genius, courage and steadfastness
to duty. In this great conflict of arms,
the reconciliation that has taken place
between tlie states that had warred so
fiercely and so long will give to history
a themo With which to adorn its bright
est arid fairest pages. To its accom
plishment tt is gratlfytn gto recall tbe
ex-president of the Confederacy con
tributed In no small degree. In one of
his latest public utterances to the peo
ple of the south he said:
” ’Men in whose bands tbe destiny of
oor southland lies, (Or love of ber 1
break my silence and speak now a
few words ot respectful admonition.
The past la dead. Let It bury Its dead
with Its hopes and aspirations. Let
me beseech you to lay aside all rancor,
all bitter sectional feeling and take
your place in the rank of those who
will bring a consummation devoutly to
be wished—a reunited people.’"

When General John B. Gordon, com-
mander-in-chlef of tbe United Confed
erate Veterans, rose to respond to the
address of welcome cheering was loud
anil prolonged.
Interspersing the speeches the songs
of the southland were mingled with
those of the whole nation. They wero
tuug in this order:
"America." "Bonnie. Blue Flag,"
"Dixie." "Slar Spangled Banner,” “The-
Girl I Left Behind ’Me,” and again the
undying'-Dixie.”
,, The oration of the day was delivered'
by Hon. John Allen '(“Private” John
Allen)., of Mississippi. ' . .
The feature of the afternoon will
be the turning of the keys of the city
