BLOOD POISON.
Physicians Say That Is What Is the
 Matter With Mrs. Mckinley.

Washington, June S.-Mrs. McKinley's physician this morning issued the folliw- ing bulletin:
 Mrs. McKinley's illness has been a blood affection resulting from perios titi of the index finger (bone felon), which began in Los Angeles, and which was promptly treated by incision. The sub sequent condition of exhaustion was due to the same blood infection asservated with severe diarrhoea. She improved. however, and was brought home in com fort and without loss of stength.
 '"The principal cause of anxiety in her case since her arrival in Washington has been acute indesoritos Qnfiamation of the lining membrane of the heart), involving the mitral valve, the result of the same blood affection This does not appear to be progressive and there has been an im- provement in the diarrhoea and her gen. eral condition.
 Mrs McKinley's case at the present time presents a cheerful aspect"
 The statement that Mrs. McKinley's case at this time presents more hopeful aspect is the best word that has come from the sick room since the arrival of the distinguished patient in Washington. The President feels considerably encour- aged. Today was Mrs. McKinley's birth day and many beautiful flowers and gifts were left at the White House for her.

Iron builds up the red corpuscles of the blood and sustains vitality and strength.
 Women need a constant supply of blood making material or their systems break down under the constant drain. The very moment there Is lack of blood. or when the blood Is impoverished, the signal ap- pears upon the face in sallowness or pallor.

These unrivaled sites will be put on the market at moder- ate prices. And right here it may be of interest to state that the most highly as- sessed vacant residence property on the South Highlands can be bought for 90 per cent less than fashionable property in Mobile, Montgomery or Savannah Is being sold for, and from 50 to 75 per cent. less than the same class of real estate in At lanta Is quoted at It stands to reason, then, that now Is the time to buy, for Birmingham has a greater future than any other city in the South, and values here will advance rapidly from now on.
 Aside from the singular beauty of the South Highlands the air Is wonderfully sweet and pure and the summer nights are as delightful as those at any of the noun tain resorts. Birmingham Is surely bless ed in its situation.

As we have before stated Captain Lucas has obtained leases on about 1e00O acres of land in and near here. He Is much pleased as to the indications of oil being found here in paying quantities. and he says his company proposes to sink three wells here to test the field. Captain Lucas is an expert mining engineer of wide experience, and he proposes to back his judgment by expending money in this development.

The hundred foot avenue conforming to the citys scheme Is being divided as follows An espanade of thirty feet in the middle for the car line, a driveway of twenty feet on each side of the espanade, and gut tering and side walks of fifteen feet out side of the driveways on each side.

 To locker on in Venice there are many things to be corrected. Yet taken all in all there Is nothing of importance wrong and the show Is a masterpiece.

 Holidays Observed.
 It might not be amiss to note here that the people here seem to pay more atten- ton to holidays than elsewhere. On the 30th of May, the Decoration Day here, all business was suspended the entire day, and despite the rain, great crowds gath cred on the grounds. while money coild not get anything out of store. And for nearly every day of the exposition there is some gala feature that sends the peo- pie joyous to the grounds
 The people of the north are very court eous to the visitors from the south, and they are also deeply interested In the dis plays here made. The exposition is grow ing daily in completeness and crowds. and 1t is going to be a record-breaker later on unless all signs fail.

 The visitors from the south have not been coming yet. The weather has been too cold and wet. There will be a great travel here from the south later on They will long remember the trip here. The wealth of all the world of wonders has paid it's tribute here There are some things which our people will like to hear of in detail which shall be told later.

We have the right formations here for oil. and 1t is claimed that there are indications of 1t here. We are very much inclined to believe that the old soap stone hills of Perry and Chiffon County will turn out to be oil fields.
