MR.. MOODY's
Opinion of Guiteau.-Says That He Never
Had Anything to do With Him.

New York. July IL. A statement having
appeared in the papers that Guiteau had been
a co-worker with Moody, the evangelist, and
had lectured under the auspices of the Chi
cago Christian Association, reporter called
on Mr.. Moody in Mortified, Mass, to ascer-
tain what he knew about him. Mr.. Moody
stated that he had known Guiteau for ten
years; never had any confidence in him; ;
thought him hard man. He had more ego
tism and assurance than any man he knew.
and he thought he was not entirely sound in
his mind. At the opening of the meetings
conducted by Moody and Sankey in Chicago,
in '76, Guiteau presented himself as an usher,
having an immense red, white and blue ro-
settle on the lapel of his coat, and a baton in
his hand. As soon as Mr.. Moody saw him,
he had the baton and rosette taken from him,
and refused to permit him to act as an usher.
Two or three times he had him put out of the
inquiry room. Guiteau wrote several threat
ening letters to Moody, saying that he was a
lawyer and would prosecute everybody con-
nected with the meetings. 1t was thought by
those who came in contact with him there
that he was a little out of his mind. He fol-
lowed Moody to other places, but was never
permitted to take any part in the meetings,
or to do with him. He tried at a NUM-
Der of points to run up board bills or the
plea of being with Moody in his work. Mr..
Moody, while being annoyed, could only de-
nounce him as fraud and imposter.

1915 p. M.

DIR. J. J. Woodward, one of the four
surgeons who are in constant attendance
upon the President, upon being asked to-
night what he thought of the latter's condi-
ton, replied. "This has been on the whole
the best day the President has had since his
injury there was less disturbance during the
day in febrile rise this afternoon than in
previous afternoons, and the actual maxi
mum of temperature to-day was less than
yesterday. 1t still represents, however,
considerable afternoon fever and it would not
be safe as yet to declare the President
out of danger, but his general symptoms are
very encouraging, and with every day we
feel increased hope" Surgeon General Burns
upon being asked this evening, his opinion of
the Presidents case, replied "His maximum
temperature being less to-day than yesterday.
and his general condition much improved
He takes nourishment in constantly increas-
ing quantities, and his stomach performs its
functions we'll. He is not only better tonight
than last night. but his condition as a whole,
is better than at any time since the shooting ~
DIR. Reyburn said: 1.-THE Presidents symp-
toms last evening gave us some little unea-
siness, partly on account of the rise in the
| temperature, and partly on account of other
unfav cradle symptoms, such as restlissness
and dry hot skin. We believe, however
that these symptoms represented only temp
orary fucuation Of the fever and our judg-
ment has been confined by the result. The
Presidents pulse and temperature fell grad
| ually during the night and has been as low
to-day IS ia the three days last proceeding.
His general condition, in the meantime, has
greatly improved. He is quiet and comfor-
| table, and says himself that he feels better
ard stronger. His skin is moist He has
taken more nourishment than on any prev
ious day and his symptoms are all encour-
aging" Upon being asked whether there
! were any indications of pyaemia, Dr. Rey-
burn said. mot the slightest, pvaemia would
at o.ce make itself manifest in the color of
| the skin and in many other ways, but no sign
of it has appeared to the question: Do You
regard the danger of secondary hemorrhage
as passed." The doctor replied: "No, 1
should not be willing to say that. 1t may
occur, but regard its occurrence rs very
unlikely"
Upon being questioned with regard to the
discharge from the Presidents wound, DR..
Reyburn said: "Suppuration was progress
ing finely. The discharge tonight was
rather more copious than yesterday, but the
wound had perfectly healthy appearance"
In conclusion, DIR. Reyburn said that the
Presidents condition was in every way fav-
| orable and encouraging, all rumors TO the
contrary. Notwithstanding.
| DR.. Bliss said this evening that the Presi.
dents afternoon fever began later YESTERDAY
than on previous days, and had been chsrac-
terixed By less intensity; up to four O'Clock,
his pulse did not 90 above . hundred, and II
began to fall again nnce the date of the last
bulletin. In conclusion, DR.. Bliss said that
the Preeident's condition il in every way
satisfAcsory.

2 Y. M.

Dr. Bliss, at this hour, reports that the
Presidents condition has been steadily i'm
proving ever since this morning. The in
crease in the pulse and temperature was
only natural fiucturation of the fever, and
not indication of any unfavorable change.
The President is better in every way this
afternoon than at the corresponding hour
yesterday, and he has no symptoms which
need to cause any uneasiness. His pulse at
2 P. NJ, was only 90, and although he has
taken no anodyne since yesterday, he is now
sleeping quiet, natural sleep. The atmos-
phere of his room is still maintained by the
refrigerating apparatus in the basement, and
makes him comfortable.

A Bold Bank Robbery.

SIDNEY, July II. The Bank of Davis and
Sexton, at Riverton, was robbed of 81 900,
by two men who rode into the town on stolen
horses. While Sexton was getting the money
from the safe to change bill for them, they
leaped over the counter, placed revolver at
his head, took the money and rode deliber-
ately away, inviting the crowd to follow. A
large company went in pursuit. The robbers
were near the Missouri line, and the pros.
poets of their capture are not good
