No examination of the wound ' will bo mndo except morning nnc evening and nothing but the pulse of the patient will bo taken between those hours WILD JtUMOTM. \VASHINOTON , D. 0. , August 4. The fnct that the president's physi cians considered his progress towarc convalescence so well established ns to discontinue the issuance of the noon bulletins seems to have furnished n pretext for wild rumors abroad. There won little of the kind here but telegrams - grams were continually received during - ing the day by private parties and others in New York to thu effect that private information from the 'White House wont to show that thu presi dent wasx worse' again. Those- who have boon spending most of the time at the .White House know at once that there was no truth in these re ports. The physicians were exceed ingly vexed. They hastened to disa busc the public of the idea that there could bo no official donml of the false rumors. , The fact is the president has bo'cn doing fully ns well to-day as any day sinca the , shooting. There has not been the slightest unfavorable synip torn , and hohas been slowly and stead ily gaining. There has been some com s\ mcnt by outside surgeons on the fa& that the president's' pulse nnd tem perature nnvo not been reduced to a normal condition. The attending phy sicians say thu maintenance of those symptoms above normal is naturally to be expected. They nro kept up they sny , by the circulation to which the president is naturally subjected. His improvement since Monday has been marked and satisfactory , nnd the symptoms this morning wcro very good. Ho is now taking moro thai the usual amount of nourishment , in eluding steaks , milk toast saturated with beef juice , potatoes and a little coffee. His strength is increasing daily , and ho is now nblo to di moro in the way of turning himsol : and helping others to raise his body thun the surgeons think it prudent to allow. Ho remained in a raised posi tion nine hours to-day. Ho is reap ing great benefit from his change , particularly as the heart has a frooi action. THURSDAY'S BULLETINS. KXECCTIVB MANSILN , August 4 8:30 : a. m. The president continues to improve. Ho slept well during the night , and'this morning looks , and ex presses himself cheerfully.

Bliss authorizes the statement that the president wa bettor at 2 p. in , to-day in every respect than nt the same liour on any day since the phootiug.

Ho is getting along about aa fast as ho was yesterday nnd is bettor. " DR. UAMIliON CONFIDENT. The plain language of Dr. Haiuil ton to-day has had n remarkable roas BUring effect , Vfhon. risked how the patient was , ho replied : "Oh , ho is doing verr nicely , and ho will recover. " "Docs ho , loolc any bettor than when yon last saw him ? " "Yes , ha looka hotter , but there has boon no particular change in hia con dition. His faco.will hardly regain n natural appearance until ho gets out of doors. "When will that bo ? " "That is a matter of . .conjecture as yet , but it will not be" ft Ibng time be fore he will bo nble to boar removal. " "Then you think.hc will get well ? " continued the inquirer. "I hove no doubt of it.1 Dr. Hamilton said there was no truth in the story that the president was nfiectcd by .malaria. He was asked if the stories as to to the.ro be ing so much malarial .sickness in the house wore true. Ho said in a posi tive manner that there was no mala ria in the president's symptoms. When asked about the wound , Dr. Hamilton said : " "It is in a very good condition and looks very well. " "Is it healing in jcmote portions ? " "That I can't'say. NVo don't know that it is healing these without abettor knowlcdgeiof a'dcopor portion of the wound than wo now have. Wo can't say that it is'healinR ' there. " "Aro there any signs that the ball is incisting or not ? ' ' " , ! can't say as to thai. We donH know" whether it is or not. " _ DU. 1UYBUR.V. "Dc. Ilaybum * ' stn&d-4 ono of .Ihd reasons for dispensing uith the noot : bulletin was because they could no ! find a now expression. He had noth ing to say but that ho was slowly im proving. Ho said the wound was dis charging healthy pus freely and gran ulating rapidly. The probabilities are that the ball is becoming oncist- od. Anyhow they had 110 apprehen sions of any immediate trouble on that score. MISCELLANEOUS. TO UK PLACED ON TUB KKTIRKD LIST. WAhiriNOTON August 4. Rear Ad miral Donald McN.

[ Albany Times , nl-alD MR. DREXEL'S VIEWS. What Ho Hoa to Say About the Now Court Houso. In conversation yesterday morning County Commisiionor Drexel told a reporter that the old plan for the pro posed county court house if carried out , could not cost les * than $200OCO nt the present rate of labor and price of materials. It would take some time yet , ho said , for the architect to so modify his plans as to meet the requirements of the cheaper building nnd of course until tliesoero received no moro bid * could bo advertised for. When the ) ! ansero made originally it had been calculated by the architect that the building could bo erected uncording o thorn at n cost of 8150,000. Mnny icople , thu commissioner said , had ookcn to him nbout the matter nt thu imotho bonds were being voted. They aid they were in favor of voting the xiiuln provided they would cover all ox- > ensos attached to putting up the > uilding , but they wcro nfraid they wouhl not. "I pledged my honor to > thorn , " said Mr. Drexel , "that the cost would not exceed that amount. few the chances are that it will , be cause of the increased coat of labor nd material , nr d I want to hoar what .ho people have to sny about it before mnko up my mind definitely.

A chilling picture of desolation and misery was witnessed at the court , louse yesterday. A young and iretty girl , scarcely out of her teens , dressed with an unusual display of taste , walked into the county clork'a oflico nnd inquired for ono of the commissioners. She mot Mr. Drexel to whom she gave the merest outline of n story of trusting confidence nnd guilessncsi on her part and base deception on the part of % malu scoundrel. Shu told her pitiful story with much hesitation nnd every evidence of , how keenly aho felt hoc- position and concluded by asking fop nn order adiuiVting her to the county poor house. The commUuioner on- dcnvored with Ml tlio tnot , at MS.c.om.r nioid tv , diHcov r , UjQ hhind of the man but aho refused to ' indicnto it in the remotest way * She claimed that her parents were < Uwl nnd that she originally came hero from lown , but it could bo seen that her only ondoayor wns to shield her relatives from whatever- sliamu attached to her offense. The ommissionor made out the order nnd the poor girl started on her journey , ono of the saddest pictures of uncom plaining misery soon there for many n. day. Should Bo Stopped. The city marshal nnd chief engineer will hereafter strictly enforce the ordi nance ngninst parties burning piles of paper in tin streets. Should n high wind spring up when such blazes nro in progress great damage might result ; to property. Every night there nra two or throe such bonfires in progress in different portions of thu city , and complaints have been made in regard , to them. They nro by no means an evidence that Omaha has reached tha metropolitan level. SILVER WEDDING. Celebrated By Mr. and Mrs. Ohristensen Last Night , The congregation of the Danish.
