Lieutenant Carl Amelung.

1t is with profound sorrow that
am made to record the death of an
other victim to the terrible war
which devastated Europe and called
for the sacrifice of SO many of Amer
ica's bravest and best. Lieut.. Carl
Amelung, son of my esteemed friend,
O. J. Amelung, died at Clifton, Ohio,
Saturday, July 31st, aged % years.
He enlisted soon after the declars-
ton of war, was commissioned as
Lieutenant, and, transferred to
France, took part in all the great
battles. He was gassed at Chateau
Thierry, France, on July IS, 1918.
After recuperating in southernFranoe
he apparently recovered and return
ed to his Company. After the
Armistice was signed he was trans
ferred te emporsrily to Remount Depot
and assisted in making arrangements
at the camps around Paris for the
sale of the army horses and mules.
In July, 1919, be was sent home with
company Of 100 Oasuales. At the
end Of the fifteen day furlough he
reported at Camp Sherman at Chilli
cothe, Ohio, where he was examined
and was transferred in August, 1919,
to U. S. Army General Hospital 21
at Denver, Colo. He apparently i'm
proved until the 1st of this year, but
from that time he slowly declined.
His father and mother visited him in
March, and, after remaining with
him six weeks, took him home-alss
| to die.
The funeral was conducted by the
Reverend Putt of the Methodist
Church and the burial was at Cave
Hill cemetery at Louisville, KY, on
Monday, August End.
Words of compassion to the be-
reayed know are of little moment
in the hour d present poignant grief;
yet beg to offer them my coincidence
in their time of trial. May the sense
of their sacrifice to God and country
alleviate their distress, and the
memory of him who has done with
earth and its evanescent joys ant
troubles be solace to them. He ha'
fought the good fight and even II
death is victorious.

Flat River correspondence in the
Pennington News: 1.-THE Federal
and Ironton base ball teams played a
very interesting game Sunday after
noon at Columbia park. Pitcher
Stare was working in excellent form
and let the visitors down with one
| lone talley. The game was an ex-
ceedinglyclose one up to the eighth
inning when the Federal boys put
on ''Batting Rally" and the visiting
team "went up in the air." Our boys
were not long in scoring several runs
thus completing the game with a
score of 10 to in favor of/Federal.
The Federal boys are playing some
good ball this year and are being well
supported by the community"
VIVA. R. Edgar, Jr., was very much
surprised, not to say astounded, one
morning last week, on walking out
on his porch to see sitting there a
black cat-the very same black cat
that six weeks previously he had dis
patched to Pennington by automo-
bile. The kitty, evidently, bore nc
resentment and sat there, apparently
at peace with all the world and
! greatly pleased to be back home
again. Once before this same black
cat had been sent away from home
out to the Shut-In in the hope thai
she would take up rural residences

WILSON PLEASED WITH
CONVEN T|ON So FAR
Cousin of President Says He is
Interested in Treaty, Not in
Candidates.

New York, July IA special from
Washington to the World says. President
Wilson is elated with the proceedings
so far of the Democratic National Con
vention at San Francisco. Although he
has made no official statement it is possible
to say authoritatively that he is especially
pleased with the tributes paid him In the
form of the demonstration on the floor
Yesterday and in the telegram of felicIta-
ton from the delegates.
As in the proceedings at the Repub-
lcan Convention in Chicago, every move
that is made at San Francisco is almost
instantly transmitted by n special tele-
praph wire run into the White House by
one of the press associations, and rs the
bulletins are received they are sent to the
President in his study.
John A. Wilson, of Franklin, Pa,
cousin of the President, called at the
White House yesterday. "Mac was absolute
sincere when he announced that he did
not want the Democratic nomination for
President" he declared, referring to The
statement of William q. McAdoo-
'IIe told me he WAS BROKE when he
resigned as Secretary of the Treasury,
and YOU know if he had any notion OF
going after or wanting the nomination L
would know something about 1T.
"Woodrow has never mentioned a word
about can didates, and ] am sure he has
no chance. He is for the treaty Of peace,
and beyond that he has not the slightest
interest in the candidates.

In this connection significance may be
attached to this statement, made by

of the delegates to the President.
"There has not been n moment so far
