There was another sudden change in the temperature Sunday afternoon and night. The wind blew a regular gale about ail day Sunday but the temperature reached as high as 42 above zero. About 3 o’clock it began to get cold and the mercury fell to 8 above before morning.

In 1910 we handled 16 carloads of flour, more than all the balance of the merchants in Rensselaer handled. We are not trying to boost ourselves as a better merchant or better salesman than others, but give the credit to Aristos flour that has made us more friends than anything we have ever handled. We have just unloaded our first car for 1911 and if you have never tried it, we want you to give it a trial. We will return your money if it is not the best flour made. x JOHN EGER.

SOME EXTENUATION IS CLAIMED BY TENANTS

Lewlns Claim That Misrepresentation Was Made in Renting Them the Porter Connty Farm. Thirteen head of horses and four farm wagons are still being held by Sheriff W. I. Hoover under the attachment served Wednesday morning. The Btoek is at the Norgor hitch ham. The wives of Charles and John Lewin came here Saturday and set claim to the household goods and these were released and were shipped to Kents land, being loaded last Saturday nigat. The Lewins claim that they were not leaving the state but were going to a fhrm near Kentland. They do not claim tht they were not trying to make a getaway, however, but claim that they had been deceived by the agent of the farm and had given notes far in excess of the proper renting value of the farm. They claim that it was only 3,000 bushels of corn that they shipped to Chicago and not 5,000 bushels and that the farm was no. up to the productive qualities claimed by the agent who had rented It to them. They claim that they saw it was going to be impossible to secure an adjustment of the rent proposition on a basis fair to them and they decided to take the settlement into their own hands and their departure at night was decided upon. They say that they had already paid Mrs. Hankins SSOO and that they left behind them SBOO worth of other property, including 25 tons of hay, 600 bushels of com, 40 acres of wheat in the ground and a lot of fall plowing, they also say that with the exception of one horse they left behind all the property they had purchased at Mrs. Hankins’ sale and for which they had given notes amounting to SSOO. One of the sons of one of the Lewins has put in a claim for one team of horses, one wagon and a set of harness and a schedule for the purpose of a set-off has been made by each of the other brothers, and this will probably be sufficient to offset the value of the property. The case is set for hearing at Valparaiso on next Monday, January 16th, and as there is every evidence that the claims for setz, off will be equal to the value of the property, it is quite certain that the property will be released to the defendants.

Dunlap & Parkinson are the attorneys for the Lewlns and they claim that their clients have always born 'good'reputations and that this was the first break they have ever made. They claim that the tenants felt certain that they had been handed a raw deal when they were induced to give cash rent in the sum of $2,000 on a farm that would not justify that rent and that they thought they would set tie it in a manner that appeared equitable to them. If they are able to make the schedules of set-off go through, it is probable that Mrs. Haskins will be-unat!e to recover any more from them.

Marriage Saturday Evening a Big Surprise to Their Many Friends.

At the residence of Rev. G. H. Clarke, pastor of the First Christian church, at 9 o’clock Saturday evening, occurred the marriage of Miss Dollie Elmina Schock and Herman H. Churchill. The bride and groom were accompanied to the parsonage by Miss Glenn Day, a friend of the bride,' and the ceremony was witnessed by > she and the family of the minister. The bride is well known in Rensselaer, where since she was three years of age she has resided with her grandmother, Mrs. Frances Ham, and her aunt, Miss Ida Ham. For a number of years she has been a clerk in various stores, including the Forsythe store and the Ransford store. Since Frank G. Kresler re-engaged in business she has been a clerk in his store. The groom Is the youngest son of Squire William Churchill, and was familiarly known here by the name of “Kid.” His home is now at Bethany, Mo., near which town be has a large farm. He Is a millwright by occupation and is at present engaged at that work. He arrived from Bethany last Friday and the friends of the couple were not expecting that they would be married at this time. The surprise wm therefore quite complete The bride worked at the Kresler store until almost 9 o’clock Saturday evening and went from there directly to the parsonage. The marriage was entirely agreeable to her aged grandmother, but did not take place at her home owing to the feeble condition of her grandmother’s health.

Mr. and Mrs. Churchill took the early gnornlng train Sunday tor Chicago and after a short stay there will go to Bethany, Mo. where they will probably board until spring and then take up their residence on the groom s farm. Both bride and groom are very popular in Rensselaer, the bride being recognized as one of the model young women of Rensselaer. She has been I Igroted member of the Christian church and one of the leading workers In both the church and the Sunday school. She will be greatly missed in these circles and by her many friends. Mr. Churchill Is a young man of good business qualities an 1 regarded as a straightforward and
