for a county Office here by few votes.
Later he was arrested for resisting an
officer and taken from the train. He
has paid for his fun.
Much liquor was ailoat and the
scenes at the depot when the special

fierce. There were a number of fights
on the platform aud only good luck
prevented many of the party from
spending the night In the Fairmont

A PRAYER for At-one-me

o blessed Father, we thank aad praise
thee for all the mercies thou hast poured to-
day on US and on all men, and the love that
has averted 80 much evil from us all. For
give US, for thy dear Son Jesus Christ's sake
for all the evil We have done or the good we
have omitted to do. Keep us this night
from all " orks OF darkness, and whether we
wake or sleep let our thoughts and deeds be
In accordance with thy holy will. Pre-
serve US from all dangers and terrors of the
night; from restless watching and sorrowful
thoughts; from unnecessary or fretful cares
and imaginary fears; from sickness and
from violent or painful death. Let Us wake
tomorrow renewed In strength and Cheerful,
spirits; may we arise with holy thoughts and
forth to live to thine honor, to the services
our fellowmen and the comfort and Joy o.
tu: own households. Amen.
