RECEIVERS
FROM ANTHRAX
Farmer Near Dover Complete
ly Cured

What is considered the most re-
markable cure and restoration to
life and reason from the most
dreaded disease among animals,
and more so human beings-an-
thraX,-has been accomplished in
the complete recovery of Isaac
Harrington, a prominent farmer
living between Dover and Cow
gill's Corner, who many weeks ago
was stung on the neck by an in
sect of some kind, at first thought
to have been a horse fly. The re-
suit of the sting or bite, however,
became so serious that Mr.. Har-
rington for some time was almost
devoid of reason, so great was the
pain and agony and his case fire.
uuently became such that he had
to be strapped to his bed.
Three physicians were in at
tendance on Mr.. Harrington, the
case at first puzzling all of them.
One physician, however, becoming
convinced that the symptoms were
those of anthrax, began study of
the case, in reading authorities
and also writing to specialists in
Philadelphia and New York, the
result being that all authorities
consulted agreed that it was a
case of anthrax of the most ag-
rravatel form. Lingering be-
tween life and death for days
with all that medical science
could render, Mr. Harrington'e
life was lespaired of until three
weeks ago he began to show i'm
provement and has completely re,
covered.

Efficiency Of
The Signal System

One of the chief factors that
has enabled the Pennsylvania

cord for the safe transportation
of passengers is revealed in the

first six months of 1916.

Delaware Politics

a T the coming primaries on
~ August 10, for the election of
delegates to the convention which
will nominate the candidates of
the Republican party for various
offices, State and national, the vot-
ers will be confronted with only
one serious question, namely, the
selection of their candidate for
the United States Senate.
Senator du Pont, who has served
his state for many years with
honor, dignity, distinction and
ability, announced some time ago
that he would accept a renomina-
ton if rendered to him by the Re-
publicans of Delaware. There was
q general feeling of satisfaction
by the rank and file Of the party
at his decision and it was felt that
by reason of the esteem and affec-
ton in which he is held by the
people of the State he would be re-
nominated without question.
IL Vic NOlclS Cl4OSC I1lS oSlldlOI
by direct ballot he would be NOM
mated almost unanimously. But
they are required to select men
from various candidates who will
want to be delegates to the con-
vention.
By reason of a kind of political
submarine warfare against Sena-
tor du Pont the selection of dele
gates who will favor his renomin-
alton deserves the most careful
attention Of the voters of the
State. They should give their bal
lots only for such men who are
publicly and officially pledged to
the Senator, and endorsed by the
regular Republican organization.
Any other course will be fatal and
would lead to greater troubles
than the party has yet expert
enced.

What are the Troubles?

Nothing but a straightforward
statement will serve the purpose
of showing the intelligent, patri-
otto and unpurchased voters Why
there are any troubles, Where
the troubles originated, and BY
Whom and with What Motive they
are being fostered.
The simple truth is that a GER
tain gentleman has conceived the
erroneous idea that Senator du
POnt was responsible for a certain
backset he suffered at the hands
Of the directors of the du POnt
Company. And with this erron-
eOus idea as a basis, he has set
out to get revenge" on the Sena-
tor.
Knowing full we'll that he could
not succeed in open warfare, he
accomplish by secret means, plus
the liberal expenditure of money,
his first move against the Senator
and succeeded in defeating him
for delegate to the Chicago con-
vention.
1t was seemingly a victory for
this gentleman, but in reality
defeat, for he committed the mon
umental blunder of prematurely
exposing his plans. In his eager
ness to "get at the Senator" he
showed his hand-and there was
MT an ace in it.
But his greatest task now looms
up before him. How can he block
the plain intention of the Republi-
cans of Delaware and defeat the
Senator for denomination He is
fully aware of the great popular
itX Of Senator du Pont, the Grand
Old Man of Delaware and instinct
lively feels that an open and direct
attack upon him would prove a
boomrang. Even those able and
highminded citizens, Messrs. Alice
and Groves feel a delicacy to
come out openly against the Sen
ator, for they suspect that such a
move would prove a two-edged
sword that would probably cut
their way.
In this dilemma they decided to
accomplish by indirect means
what they dared not do openly.
They promptly began an attack
on the party organization, which
was held up to the public view as
a gang" or ring" or a"click, !"
as the fancy dictated. In this way
they hope to pull the wool over the
eyes of the voters, fully expecting
that they will respond to the cry
against the gang" and vote for
anti-gang" delegates, all Of
