The cheerful news comes from
Washington that our honored and be-
loved President is improving daily,
and is now considered practically. out
Of danger. What great burden this
blessed news will lift from the minds
of the people. Everybody breathes
easier, and the look of anxiety and
sorrow which has for nearly three
weeks been depicted on every face is
rapidly changing into smiles and good
cheer. AS each day passes the people
feel more confident that their beloved
chief magistrate will be spared to
them, and the nation will 60 on in its
happy and prosperous condition. Let
the whole world rejoice and be exceed
ing glad. The day of National
Thanksgiving cannot be far away.

some idea of the Presidents condition
up to last night:

lutely nothing new. l can tell you

"None. We are giving him stronger
food than heretofore. He relishes it
and is gratified when we give it to
him. Except the administering Of
stronger food there IS not the least
change in the treatment"
Said DIR. Reyburn "In addition to
what he ate for breakfast this morning
the President has taken some sweet
bread and q little beefsteak. There
may be little fever to night. The
wound is dressed twice day and the
discharge from it continues healthy.

matter from it passes of"
Doctor, when are you going to an
nounce officially that the President is
out of dangerP" was asked DR.. Bliss.
There are unforeseen accidents which
may occur, and there is no reason for
deceiving the public. That is why we
will not say he is out of danger en-
tirely. He is booming right along,
but that is no reason why we should
proclaim he is totally recovered from
danger, but he is pretty safe man.
Said DIR. Barnes, in answer to a
similar question: "The public should
be given only the facts. There is no
reason except the possibility of acci-
dents why it should not be said the
President is out of danger.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-Maior
Crump, stewart of the mansion, and
one of the night attendants upon the
Pretident, says: "If the President con-
tinues as we'll during this week as he
has been during the past few days he
will, in my opinion, be able to sit up
and eat his meals by next Sunday.
Major Swain, who is almost constantly
with the President, said this afternoon
that he was progressing finely. To re-
ply to question about Mrs. Garfield's
health, Major Swain said: "Oh, Mrs.
Garfield is getting along nicely. She
spends most of her time at her hus-
bands bedside"
