HEAR SERMON IN NEGLIGE.
Perspiring Men Take Off Coats a
Hint From Pastor.

Smiling though perspiring, nun
dred men at the morning service of
the Belden Avenue Baptist church
recently dotted their coats, hung them
over the pew backs, bowed their
thanks to the minister, and were ready
to~1isten to the sermon.
The congregation was declared the
most attentive in Chicago. Not a man
left until the service closed; some of
them manifested unusual generosity
when the contribution basket was
passed. and after the benediction all
of them waited to shake hands-with
warmth not entirely due to the
temperature-with the Rev. John A.
Earl and to express appreciation of
his first words to his congregation.
LAS the morning is SO warm he
said. 1--WE shall give the men the priv
ilege of removing their coats, so that
they make themselves as much at
home as possible
No one appeared shocked at the
announcement. The women smiled at
each other at the thought of relief
for masculine discomfort. over Which,
by their cool. light dresses, they had
such an advantage. One leaned to
ward her neighbor in the pew ahead.
IF John had known this, he would
have GOMEZ she whispered.
And the men smiled at everybody.
There was seconds hesitation, and
then young fellow up near the front
arose and uncovered crisp neglige
with a huge monogram on the breast
pocket. A few others were on their
feet almost as soon as he, and they
disclosed more white, but touch of
blue, and a figure in black showed
here and there.
Another pause seemed to indicate
that the other masculine members of
the congregation would prefer to wear
their coats, but portly man in a
rear pew suddenly popped UP and
flashed a pair of brilliant red sleeves.
There was a sigh of relief; women
nodded final consents to uncomfortable
husbands, and a dozen shades of pink
and green appeared in different places.
Black or tan belts had been the rule
for the lower margins of the linen dis
plays, but a gray bearded man with
Jaws set and eyes appealing to the
pulpit broke the rule. Before he sat
down a pair of brown suspenders could
he seen across his shoulders, and then
the last recruits took the floor. They
were those unwise ones who had worn
vests, and they repaired to an ante
room to remove those garments and
reappear like their fellows.
Il heard every word of that ser
mon; Mary and I actually remember
some of it, said man as he re-
placed his vest and Prince Albert at
the close of the service.
A similar announcement was made
by the Rev. Mr.. Earl at the evening
service, which to similar degree was
taken advantage of by the men pres
ent. The minister stated that he will
continue the privilege whenever a
Sunday is so hot that the men in the
pews suffer. 1t is expected that his
congregations will not diminish so
much as those of other churches dur
ing the dog days to come.--Chicago

Traction Engine
And The Rider Was Badly
Injured When Horse Fell

Bernard Baker of Buckeye City was
badly injured while riding a horse
at about six o'clock Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Baker was the owner of young
horse which was greatly afraid of an
engine and seeing traction engine,
belonging toCMr. Casper Miller, being
driven through the street, Mr.. Baker
jumped on the animals back and rode
out close to where the steam was es-
Gaping from the engine. The horse
reared for moment and then fell
dead, evidently having been frighten-
ed to death. Mr.. Baker fell and was
pinned to the ground beneath the
horse. His left ankle was broken and
dislocated when the horse fell on his
legs, and he was otherwise badly
bruised. After an examination 1t was
found that no internal injuries had
been Sustained. The fracture and
dislocation was reduced by DR.. E. l.,

The election in Knox county on
Tuesday was great victory for the
Democratic ticket
The total vote cast in the county
for the Democratic and Republican
candidates for governor was 7,419.
This was 1,2g0 short of the vote cast
for the Democratic and Republican
candidates in the county two years
ago. In 1908, however, it was a pres
idential year, and this brought out a
full vote. There was also cast this
year very large vote for the Social
ist ticket, but the exact figures will
not be available until the board Of
elections makes a canvass of the re-
turns. Comparing the Democratic
vote Of this year with that Of two
years ago, there was a shortage Of
378. The Republican vote by like
comparison shows shortage of S42.
On the county ticket the Democrats
elected all their candidates except
three and by majorities ranging
from 172 to 1,155. The Republicans
elected three candidates-those for
prosecuting attorney, treasurer and
coroner.
Tuesday night witnessed much in
tefest throughout the city and coun-
ty in the result. Returns were re-
ceived and tabulated at several places
and given out The Mt. Vernon Tel
ephone company, as usual, had a
splendid service and gathered in the
returns very promptly. Owing to the
large amount Of scratching in all OF
the precincts, it took quite long time
to make the cunt, apd at three

cincts had been heard from except
Clay township. In that township the
count had not been delayed, but no
body connected with the election in
that township took it upon himself to
telephone it to Mt. Vernon, and the re
suit was that the figures from Clay
were not obtained until about seven
