TO-DAY'S TELEGRApHIC NEWS
Mrs. McKinley's Condition Improved

Mrs. McKinley's Condition Improved.
San Francisco May IS.-The life OF
Mrs. William Mckinley still hangs by
q thread and while she made remark.
able rally yesterday afternoon and
seemed to gain trihe during the early
hours OF the night, none OF the physic-
ians attending her believe she can re-
cover. At 2 q. "a. there was no ma
terial change, Ia the patients condi.
ton. The President Ia disposed to
blame himself for bringing Mrs. Nc.
Kinley on this long journey. The
cabinet members and other friends,
however, think that she was better the
first four days Of the trip than she had
been for months, and that the Presi.
dent has no reason to blame himself,
At 7 a. m. word came from the Scott
residence that Mrs. Mckinley had
passed comfortable night. She was
sleeping healthily then and her pulse
was stronRer than at any time during
the past two days.
The President arose at 6 o'clock THU
morning and went at once to his wife''
room. The report concerning Mrs
Mckinley is simply THE: "She Is nc
better". People here are commenting
on the action OF the Ohio delegation.
All day yesterday parties, including
members Of the Governors staff and
congressman rode around town In
tally-hos, footing horns. Critics think
they might have left out the footing,
out of respect to Mrs. McKinley's con-
dition.
San Francisco, May II, S:45 a. No.
Mrs. Mckinley has passed good night
and her condition is 80 much improved
that her physicians will not have
another consultation until 8 o'clock
this evening. II Mrs. Mckinley con.
tinues to improve it Is quite probable
now that the President will attend the
launching.

Several mem. bers cited paralell cases and said there was enough of them to almost bank. rupt the state if all of them were given relief. MT. Toney hoped this bill would pass. This was a just claim and should be paid. Whenever the state sold man a home and then allowed some corporation to gobble it up it was nothing but robbery, and he would not be a party to it. The bill failed to pass. The question of a To- cation for Insane Asylum No 2 was taken up. Messers. Holland and Neal advocated the claims of the border city" and Messrs.

 If all the tired women and all the nervous women, and all the women that needed tonic would read and heed the words of these three fair la- dies who have spoken right to the point, how many invalids would be prevented and how many wretcheG lives be made happy.
 Peruna restores health in a normal way.
 Peruna puts right all the mucous membranes of the body, and in this way restores the functions of every organ.
 If it is the stomach that is out of or- der, and the digestion impaired, Pe- runa quickly makes things right by re- storing the mucous membrane of the stomach.
 If the nerves jingle, if the brain is tired, if the strength is Tagging and the circulation of blood weakened by flabby mucous membranes of the di- gestive organs, Peruna reaches the spot at once by giving to these mem branes the vitality and activity which belongs to them.
 The pelvic organs are also lined with mucous membrane which in the female sex is especially liable to derange- ments. Peruna is an absolute specific in these cases. The women everywhere are praising it. No other remedy has ever received such unqualified praise from such multitude of women.
 If you do not derive prompt and sat- isfactory results from the use of Pe- runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your ease and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
