Transfer Fur Coats for Raincoats Says Weatherman.

If the weatherman has made no mistake and his forecasts have been quite accurate of late, we are about to be transferred from delightful but very cold winter to open, sloppy weather. The forecast of today is rain for tonight and Sunday. This will require a decided moderation in the temperature, which reached p degrees above zero Friday night. For a time at least heavy coats and furs can be put away and raincoats and umbrellas put to use. On top of some twelve inches of packed snow this should make a sloppy condition that none will enjoy except the dealer in overshoes. Eater—Just after the original weather forecast was received this morning the reporter had written the above article, a corrected report came, which forecasts snow or rain for the north part of Indiana. Evidently the prognosticator realized that it was a tolerabl ybig jump from 20 above zero to a rain storm and he changed his forecast. The snow began at about noon and the heavy sky has the appearance of a long continued contribution of “the beautiful.”

THREE HUNDRED AT THE CHURCH BANQUET

Msn of Church Successfully Carried Out Supper With Women and Children aa Guests.

The men of the Christian church successfully carried out a novel treat to the women and children Friday evening, when three hundred persons partook of a supper prepared under the direction of the all-male committees. The men did not do the cooking, but employed three ladies to do that, 'but they dressed chickens, peeled potatoes, made slaw, set tables, served the guests, washed and wiped dishes and with a willingness that showed real pleasure in the work performed their work with commendable grace and beamed with pleasure when the women showered them with compliments. The serving was done by fifteen young men of Mr. McLain’s class, all of them dressed in white coats.

In the absence of Rev. Titus, who is with his wife and new baby in Canada, Dr. Paul C. Cumick, of Trinity M. E. church, returned thanks before the supper was started and later spoke to the large crowd in the church auditorium, impressing all with a feeling of deepest appreciation. Reports were heard from the different departments of the church and the new members were given a cordial welcome. In all respects the affair proved a most enjoyable one.

TOOK FIVE HOURS TO DRAIN THE TANK

Rensselaer Used 100,000 Gallons of Water Between the Roars of 7 and IS Today. Rensselaer is using a lot of water. Probably there are many careless users who are responsible for great waste and consequently great expense. Superintendent Chamberlin, of the water and light plant, this Saturday morning at 7 o’clock, shut down the pumps. At that time the big 100,000 gallon tank was full to overflowing. It was drained dry in just five hours. At that time the pumps were started and from now until the time the new rizer pipe is installed the water will be secured by direct pressure. It is impossible to tell whether the supply will be adequate at all times and the economy of the public in water use is urged. Especially if a Are should occur will it be essential that the water be kept shut off. Based upon the fact that the water tank was drained by ordinary use in five hours, it would take about 500,000 gallons per day for JJensselaer. The council has taken a correct step In placing the water upon a meter basis and the meers will be installed in the spring. The minimum rate will be $6 per year, instead of $5 as at present. City Attorney Leopold has made extensive investigation and finds that in practically every city In Indiana that is the minimum rate. Careless or extravagant users will now have to pay for all the water that they use. The schedule of cost is pub lished in this issue of The Republican. It is probable that it will require about a week to install the new rizer pipe, after which time the tank will again !be pumped lull and the direct pressure cut off.
