Rensselaer Lads Lost Game to Fort Wayne.

The Rensselaer team fell down at the first step toward winning the state high school championship at Purdue Friday. Fort Wayne had a walkaway after the first inning, and piled up the score 12 to 3. Rensselaer made a strong start and it looked as though they might be winners, but that was a halluclna-' tion and it didn’t last long. Moore showed up strong and fanned two men 4n the first inning, but after that the team went to pieces and Fort Wayne scored steadily and had twelve runs to Rensselaers none up to the ninth inning. Rensselaer rallied and made three runs in the last half of the ninth," which lessened the sting of defeat. Buck Robinson' was the first Rensselaer maa up to bat and he slammed the ball a terrific wallop that almost took the cover off, and circled the bases for a homer, while everybody shoudted “It’s a hit, it’s a hit.” This spectacular play didn’t count as Buck cut all the bases but home, and the “umps” called him out. jThe lads were not greatly disappointed by the outcome as they had no hopes of winning the pennant. This is -the first year that the high school has supported a base ball team and yesterday’s game was the second this season. l r The state championship will he played off this afternoon and hangs between the M. T. H. S.« Huntington. Ft. Wayne, and South Bend clubs.

Medford Account of Wedding Of Former Rensselaer Girl.

Medford (Oregon) Sun. The marriage of Miss Star Marshall daughter of Mr. and’ Mrs. G. E. Marshall, to Donaid E. Colvig,- son of Judge Wm. Colvig, was solemnized at, the residence of the bride’B parents on South Oakdale avenue, May Bth, at sunset V Just as the last rays of the, setting sun streamed across their path, the bridal procession entered the room led by two small ribbon bearers in white suits, Jack Marshall and Windsor Gale. Following them came little Rowen Gale bearing the ring, and Miss Hope Marshall, the only attendant of the bride. These were dressed in white lingerie dresses, over- yellow slips. After these came the bride. She was dressed in white hand embroideried liberty satin, veiling in silk marquisette and wearing orange blossoms. She carried a boquet of lillies of the valley. f The procession was met by the groom and Rev. Mr. Boyle of the Christian churck under an immense floral arch of vines and white lilacs, and here in an enclosure of blossoms was pronounced the beautiful and impressive ceremony that united the young pair for life. Prof. Talliender played Lohengrin’s wedding march at the entrance of the bridal party and several beautiful selections afterwards.

B. Wilson Smith, Oldest School Teacher, Here Today.

B. Wilson Smith, who came here in 1849 at the solicitation of Rev. Samuel Campbell and taught school, revisited Rensselaer today. Mr. Smith will doubtless be remembered by many of our older residents. He has visited Rensselaer at infrequent intervals since be taught school here 63 years ago. He is now 82 years of age and bears his years lightly. His recollection is vivid about the early history of White, Jasper, Warren, Fountain and Tippecanoe counties and he is sure he has the distinction of being the oldest living teacher in any of the five counties named. When he taught 'school hero the court bouse was a frame building on the lot where Dr. Loy’s office now is. Rev. Samuel Campbell and Dr. Mora occupied a double bouse where the county jail jow stands. It was many years before a railroad passed through Rensselaer and Mr. Smith came to Rensselaer on Toot from Seafleld, White county. In later years he was elected to the chair of Latin and Greek in Valparaiso College and still later was the president of that great institution of learning. Mrs. Cordelia Williams and Mrs. Almira Stockton, daughters of John Makeever, graduated from the school at Valparaiso during the time Mr. Smith was associated with the college. He called upon them today. He is one of the state board of accountants and has been employed most of the time checking up the accounts of township trustees. He is still a competent clerical'officer and accountant, notwithstanding his advanced years. His visit here was not an official one but he was looking after private business.

Farmer Rensselaer Shoemaker Still Settling Up. The talk that Simon Leopold gave A J. Maisonneuve at Kankakee some time ago seems to have awakened his conscience. He paid br. Hemphill recently, and Friday Conrad Kellner who had loaned ••him $25, received a check for that amount, together with a letter. He claims that he had no intention of swindling enraelaer people, but his manner of leaving would give that claim little credence. Methodist Chuck.
