PRESIDENT MKINLEY

The attempted assassination OF
President Mckinley at Buffalo last
Friday carried sorrow andconsterna-
ton to every true American heart in
the land. and shows that even in the
midst of his most loving and loyal
people the life of our Chief Ruler is in
danger. 1t was not the act OF an
American. but that of a foreign An
archist, "a murderous organization
already too numerous in this cOun-
try. 1t was blow, not at the Presi-
dent as an individual, but at the ma
ton and American institutions. The
deed was a great shock to the civ
ilized world, and especially so to this
country.
Mr.. Mckinley is held in the highest
esteem as citizen and Christian ruler,
and prayers are hourly ascending for
his speedy recovery ana iull restOra-
ton to the exalted position he holds
and has so greatly hOnored.
The people OF Fredericksburg are
especially attached TO the President,
as ne has visited the town and has
ever since manifested a deep interest
in the place andpeople, and they have
evidenced this attachment by the
sympathetic resolutions passed by
the Council and telegraphed to Mrs.
Mckinley on the evening of the occur
renee, which no doubt were the first
passed by any organization in the
country.
Our earnest prayer is that the Lord
will give skill and direction TO the
physicians that he may be speedily
restored TO health
