Yesterday Wheeling and vicinity was
in the tropical zone. The mercury went
to 1913 at noon by Schnepf's thermeme-
ter. Other instrumenI scored higher
or lower, as the case might be. At the
Bridgeport toll house los was recorded
and there is a tale-cum grano sails
from Martins Ferry that one instru-
ment over there scored 100. Wheeling
is glad to waive the point, and we only
remark that it was slightly warm over
here. Even the green cloth was de-
serted by the tigers" flies buzzed
drowsily and those people VINO had IL
braries read about arctic expeditions
and the old citizens recalled how deep
the snow was in 1856 and 1884. One
gentleman of veracity remarked that he
had known the river to freeze lip seven
times in one winter, another recalled
eighteen-inch ic on Wheeling creek and
a third told story. over glass OF
soda water, that his respected grand
father, long since deceased, had once
in mid-lake over night. These remi-
niscences had tendency to distract the
mind from a too frequent contempla-
ton of the slender tube of mercury and
to turn thought from the feryent
heat. But still those who are lovers of
Kipling could not refrain from recall
ing his story Of the guard post at the
main gate of Fort Armarus, when 'the
dust devils danced on the glacis out
side" and the accidental discovery Of
several bottles of pop hidden in niche
in the wall possibly prevented a sui
eide.
The day opened charmingly, with
o'clock temperature OF So, and pro-
crossed until, at II o'clock, 1919 was
set down on the record. Then the Their
mometer set out to see what 1t could
really do, and noon showed 103. 1t
didn't get back to 100 until p. m, and
at 10 p. m. it was 80 and at midnight
81. 1t was a charming day-for sala-
manders, but not for humanity. Bust
ness was sadly interfered with, most
people being content to do nothing and
let it go at that as there had been sad
shortage of sleep for several nights.
Those upon the streets during the af-
ternoon hours, and they were few,
showed decided disposition to hug the
slender lines of shade along the walls
OF buildings, while those indoors
sought any reasonable excuse to seek
a window or drop into chair in the
vicinity of an electric fan.
The record for hours was as follows:

with high crown. In the sides are two
holes. which serve the double purpose
of allowing the ears to extend through
and the free ventilation of the bonnet.
1t is held upon the animals head by a
strap passing under tine neck.
During the past few days several
horses attired in these hats have APP
peared upon the streets of this city, and
have attracted much attention. The
drivers say that they have a great eff
feet upon the horses. but the results
are mudh greater if sponge filled with
small ice is placed in the crown.

The ordinance renewing and extend

Good Record.

Ell Reno, Ok, July 27.-Fully 175,OOo
strangers have been cared for by Ell
Reno in hospitable manner. There
were brief periods when the water
supply was limited, and nights when
it was difficult for everybody to find
comfortable beds, but the town has
made record not eXcelled by any
other town in the United States. The
merchants and keepers of the restau-
rants and hotels were satisfied to
charge everyday prices, and extor-
ton was the rare exception. There
has not been a killing in the town
limits. Several persons were shot,
but none dangerously injured. Women
passed freely through the streets
without molestation, every man APP
parently making himself a committee
of one to see that they were pro-
tected.
When the booths closed here last
night at six o'clock the total registra-
ton for both districts had reached
167,OO6. The registration at Ell Reno
yesterday was 1850. making a total
of 136,315. Yesterdays registration
at Lawton was 512, making total
for that place of 3O,691. This was
the last day of registration and all
who came were able to register.

ONE-TENTH TO CHURCH.
Delegates to Baptist Young Peoples Com
vention Favor This Method Of Giving
Against Cards and Dancing.

Chicago, July 27.-"The manner in
which money is raised for our
churches is often a disgrace and an
abomination," said Rev. w. D. Nowlin,
of Lexington, KY, in addressing a
meeting of the Baptist Young Peo-
pies union. 1t was accepted as the
sense of the conference that every
church member ought to give one
tenth of his income to the church, no
matter what it amounted to. Rev.
F. F. Jordan, of Grand Island, Neb.,
declared dancing, card playing and the
theater was wholly out of the ques-
ton. ''In some of our young peoples
societies." said Rev. Mr.. Jordan, "the
desire for amusement comes danger
ously near supplanting the desire for
higher spiritual life. Our amuse-
ment tends to lead young people to
forget the high calling which is open
to them"
Officers were elected as follows:
President, John H. Chapman, Chicago;
treasurer, H. C. Clossold, Chicago; re-
cording secretary, H. w. Reed, Toron-
to, Can.
