PROMOTED AGAIN Rev. E. A. Allen Resigns Pastorate at Harvard, 111., to Accept Another AT LA JUNTA, COLO. Former Decatur Pastor Called to Western City— Popular at Harvard. Rev. E. A. Allen, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of this city for almost six years, has tendered his resignation to become pastor of the First Presbyterian church at La Junta. Colo. Rev. Allen will occupy the pulpit of the church here for two Sundays, more and will thereafter leave so as to assume his pastoral work at La Junta on August 1. The First Presbyterian church in the Colorado city of which he will become pastor is among the substantial and growing oru?s of La Junta, which has a population of 7,000. La Junta being an important railway center and in the center of a wealthy agricultural section of the Centennial state Naturally a oall to the pastorate of a growing church in such a city carries with a salary adequate with its re sponsibilities and Rev. Mr. Allen is surely to be congratulated on so no ticeable a promotion as that which comes to him at this time. The period of Mr. Allen’s pastorate of the Harvard church has been at tended by pronounced success both in its growth and in the substantial improvements made. When he came to Harvard six years ago this fall he found the congregation worshiping in a frame edifice that was inadequate and he was the chief instrument in erystalizing a sentiment that culminated in the building and equipping of a modern church building at a cost of $22,000. At the outset of his 'pastorate here the membership of the church was but 130. whereas now it has on its roll a total membership of 250. Such a record in the brief span of less than six years speaks well for the work and energy of Rev. Allen, who has not only been a tireless worker in his profession, but who has likewise given liberally of his means to- ! ward the erection of the new church [ and in support of all the auxiliaries of the church and its work of reformation and uplifting. When it became known a short time ago that there was a likelihood of Rev. Allen leaving the local church. I a petition was circulated among the members asking that he remain and it was generally signed, so that his going is actuated because of a desire on his part to identify himself with a larger church in a larger city, coupled ] with a feeling that his work in Harvard has been pretty well accomplished because the lyuilding of a new church is surely a task attended by many burdens and responsibilities. Rev. Mr. Allen has entertained the ambition to retire from the ministry at the close of the present year, when he could do so and receive a service pension of SSOO per year during the balance of his life by reason of having attained the age at which clergymen of his denomination may retire if they so elect, but now that the Colorado opportunity comes lie is likely to remain a few years longer in active ministerial work. Had his former ; plans materialized, he would doubtless have become a permanent citizen of Harvard and remained here the remaining years of his life.—Harvard (Ill.) Herald.

MELCHi BABE HURT Harald, aged tweniyqwo months. son of Marshal Mclchi was cut about the head this afternoon at 2 o'clock when a jar on a shelf in the coal house fell on his head, while he was sitting on a bench in the shed, where he had been playing with other children. A gash was cut above one eye and his nose was also cut. The wound bled very profusely and gave rise to the first belief that he had been injured more severely than he had. A physician soon had the little one resting well and it was not necessary to take any stitches to close the wound.
