up by the discovery of her body in a
shallow grave in an Oakland moor and the
arrest to-day Of Gustav Arkell, charged
with the murder of the woman. After a
fruitless search Of nearly three months the

from Mrs Donohues wardrobe and a
dirt covered spade underneath a factory

the grave in the vicinity Of which hum

The Republican Ticket.
Milford Chronicle.

Milford Chronicle
The Republican party of Delaware
has framed a ticket and presented IL
to the voters for their support, and
their work stands as the will of a
united party Simeon Pennewill is a
young man. and a man clean i'm all his
records. No one can point TO a single
blot on his record as a man or a gem
tleman. He goes before the people
untrammelled with pledges to any
man, or set of men, and we believe
that when eelcted. as he surely will
be next November, he will give to Della
ware an administration second 60 none.
He represents the people nearer than
any man who has been nominated for
years and there Is no occasion for dis
satisfaction. We may always expect
some personal animosities, but even
they will melt away under calm con-
sideratlon OF conditions and the nec-
essities of our state. Was there ever
a ticket named of which all approved? q?
Our form Of government calls for a
rule by the majority, and the people
at the primaries emphatically pro-
claimed their choice. and the Con-
vention Of last Tuesday ratified that
choice. Let the slogan of all Repub-
licans now be--for Pennewill and the
whole ticket-and in November we shall
see the Republicans of Delaware trium-
phant for another four years Of honest
State government, for better laws and
equal taxation.

RAILROAD RULES
FOR CONSUMPTIVES
tuberculosis Travellers Must
Carry Their Own Drink
ing Cups

Consumptives win no longer be al
lowed to ride upon the trains of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad unless they are
provided with sputum cups and pri-
vate drinking cups, according to an
announcement recently sent out from
the Offices of the company to conduc-
tors and trainmen. This precaution is
taken to safeguard travellers against
danger from the germs Of tuberculosis
IL is believed that this is the first
time that railroad company has sent
its active cooperation to the crusade
that is now being waged all over the
civilized world to prevent the spread
Of the Great White Plague" The ac-
ton of the Lehigh Valley Company,
whose trains are used by many con-
sumptives on their way to or from
the various sanatoriums clustered
around White Haven in Luzerne coun-
ty, Pa. was taken at the request of
the Pennsylvania Society for the Pre-
vention Of tuberculosis.
Response to Appeal.
At a recent meeting Of the society a
special committee prepared a circular
letter to be mailed to the management
of every railroad in this section, re-
questing their cooperation in the work
Of stamping out tuberculosis by insur-
ing travellers in general from any dam
ger caused by the carelessness of known
sufferers. The result of this appeal
was the following notice Of instructions
which was handed to everyone in the
passenger service:
"To afford protection TO our patrons
and to the travelling public, it win be
necessary for you to see that in cases
where the condition of the patients is
known or apparent they must not be
permitted to board our trains. unless
they have the proper Utensils-sputum
cups and private drinking cups
TN addition, in the case Of very III
patients, they must be accompanied
by suitable help TO take care Of them
while travelling. An effort also should
be made, whenever possible to do so
both for the comfort Of the patients
and the other tpassengers. to place
consumptives in a portion Of the cai
where they will be as nearly alone and
undlsturbed as the conditions viii per
nit"

.HuHvv PEOPLE.

BRENNAN (Texas) Banner.
There are a great many huffy people
in the world. You meet them almost
everywhere. You can scarcely crook
your finger without giving them Of

out for sights or insults. and can take
them when they are neither intended
nor given. Huffy people are not pleas
ant companions. You never know
when a spell will take them. or how
long II will last. You are always pay
ing them homage aud doing them rev.
erence. or they win think they are not
appreciated. such persons need a lit
tie humanity so that they may not
think of themselves more highly than
they ought to think, and little of the
grace of God in their hearts to sweeten
their temper and cure them OF their

this convention will go down in Della
wares political history as the most repre-

It was only when the delegates sat in

wisher for the success of Wilmington would
gaze along the edge Of the Delaware Immediately

ergy were in some manner insted into our peo-
pie this land could be reclaimed, docks built,
manufacturing sites offered TO all sorts of large
employers because of the splendid shipping IA

are far overshadowed by what Wilmington might

THEIR AIM NOT COOP.

= n N UNUSUAL shower of bricks has been
4 hurled at the Republican ticket by
friends of the candidates who were not named.
ii would have been so delightful to have had the
party run by outsiders. There were so many
states, such good advice handed about that it is
really pity that aNthis advice was not taken.
The old ticket should have been named and men
who didn't get on the ticket should have been
there, they say. Then again the whole ticket is
lambasted and the State chairman comes in for
torrent OF invectve that will roll off his back as
muddy water does from the back of duck
The rum influence" appears in an exalted po-
siton that must surprise even this influence it
self. On might suppose that the party which
gave this State local option had become rum
dumb or that all were soldiers of General
Booze. And yet it is we'll known that this ques-
ton was fought its merits with leading Re-
publicans active on the committees 1t is far
away cry, this mixing of drinks, and if anyone
becomes politically dizzy before it is over, it will
be some of those who at present dry.
Even Mr. Theodore f. Clark who was one of
the seven who stood out against the election of
Mr.. Addicks, and who has certainly had record
as a clean, an upright and honorable man, is not
by name but by implication condemned.
We have no doubt that these tactics and the
hysterical utterances will fail in their efforts The
various critics should be fair. The excess Of their
wrath will certainly react against them.
