bering 5000 people assisted in making
the Earlville Carnival held last Thurs

he'd on the beautiful and spacious
school campus and the program, was
carried out as advertised. Good mus

full flights during the day, the aviator
adding few thrills such as looping
the loop, etc. Several Of our towns
men also enjoyed the novelty Of TAX
ing ride in the air at SIS per ride.
The PalarO Brothers, comic acrobats,
gave good vaudeville performance,
which pleased the crowd. Hon. Nate
Kendall, of Abba, speaker of the day,
made one Of the best speeches ever
heard in this place. Mr.. Kendall held
the closest attention of the vast
crowd and his remarks called for the
repeated applause. He is a candidate
for nomination OF governor on the
Republican ticket at the 1920 prim-
aries and made many friends while
here. A fast game of base ball be-
tive IN Worthington and Monticello
resulted in a victory for the former
by score Of to 2. There was all
kinds Of concessions on the grounds
and the refreshment booths did a
rushing business. A good ball in the
opera house for which Carpenters
orchestra furnished music and was
participated in by ITO couple, closed
the days festivities. The crowd was
an orderly one and a great many OF
the old time residents journeyed back
to the old home town to spend the

The large attendance at the funeral

e. Wendt, eldest son Of the late Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Wendt, was born in
Mecklenburg, Germany, October LIST,

came with his parents to the United
States and the family settled in Chi
cago. After short residence in that
city they moved to Dubuque where
they lived few years and later came
to Delaware County, settling on q
farm north Of Earlvflle. Mr.. Wendt
assisted his parents in operating the
farm and in 1896 he was united In
marriage to Miss Anna Cornish Of
England and one daughter was born
to the union. Mrs. Wendt passed
away in May, 1897. On the soth Of

ried to Miss Bertha Gienapp Of Earl
willie and to- this union three daugh-
tiers were born. OF late years the

walton Of his farm in highly sue
cessful manner. He was kind and
indulgent husband and father and
his death has cast q gloom which can
never be dispelled over very happy
home. The family is deeply sympa-
