In every church in town prayers

covery of President McKinley. In
the Episcopal church the following
prayer was read:
O Father of mercies and God of all com
fort, our only help in time of need; Look
down from heaven, we humbly besee:h thee,
behold, visi', and relieve thy sick servant,
the President of the United States, for
whom our prayers are desired. Look
upon him with the eyes of thy merry; com
fort him with a sense of thy goodness; pre
serve him from the temptations of the en
emy; give him patinnce vider his affliction;
and, in thy good time, restore him to health,
and enable him to lead the residue of his
life in thy fear, and to thy glory. Or else
give him grace so to take thy visitation,
that, after this painful life ended, he may
dwell with thee in life everlasting; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Rev. D. N. Kirkby preached an
appropriate sermon, at the close of
which the congregation sang "My
Country 'Tis of Thee." Special ser
vices for the occasion were conducted
in all the churches. And so all over
this great land the prayers of the
people went up to Almighty God,
beseeching him to spare the life of
the executive head of the nation.
The dastardly assault on the Presi
dent has cemented the American
people more closely together than
ever before, and the dastardly and
cowardly act has been denounced
universally as one of the greatest
outrages ever perpetrated in a civil
ized country. The villain who can
walk calmly up to another, be he
President or be he an humble citizen,
and with malice in his heart de
liberately shoot with intent to kill,
while being greeted with an out
stretched hand and a pleasant smile,
is not fit to live. It is high time
that congress shall take some action
that will drive Anarchists out of the
country, and that will adequately
punish them for offenses against
society, An assault on the Presi
dent should be made high treason
and be punishable with death, even
though the President is uninjured.
Not because his life is worth more
to him than is that of the humblest
citizen, but because he is the head
of the nation, and a blow aimed at
him with intent to kill is a blow at
the whole country. It would have
been a source of much satisfaction
to a very large majority if the as
sassin had been torn to pieces on the
spot, and while Lynch law is not to
be commended, it is regretable that
the Corporal who had the wretch by
the throat with both hands, was not
permitted to pinch just a little
longer.

"The umpire cheated us" was
Berwick!s burden of lament Satur
day evening. The team had been
beaten by the Danville "Old
Timers" in the afternoon. Lewis
and Coffman of town played, the
lortner wun jjanviile and the iatter
with Berwick. The defeat, because
of the inferiority of the Danville
team, compared with that of Ber
wick is very grievous to the upriver
fans. We have had experience with '
Danville umpires, and don't doubt
but what he was. rank, but Berwick
should have won notwithstani;tnr
t this fact.
