We sold 14 of these

this season would like
you to ask any of the
14 what they think
of it, and we feel sure
you will have more
praise from these 14
users than it would

8'eaF 'RD, July 21—William B. Allen, a
yuui g farmer of Northwest Fork hundred
came to blet f ird on Saturday night, July,
18, and disappeared as mysteriously as if
the ground had opened up and awallowed
him. After vainly searching for hie son
since tiiat time, and now firmly convinc
ed that his boy has met with foul play,
Minos E. Allen of Northwest Fork yester
day communicated the facta in the case
to Magistrate Stengle and requested the
assistance of the slate authorities in the
searclt he is making. Tiie magistrate at
once took the matter up with Deputy
Attorney General Frank M. Jones of
Georgetown, who, it is stated, has given
assurance of all the assistance possible
either in locating the missing man or de
termining beyond a doubt whether or
not be is dead.
The yout g man was last seen alive in
Seafoid at an early hour Sunday morning
shotty before the arrixal of the train
going north, leaving here at about 1.30 p -
Since tiiat time ins father lias beard
nothing from him, but in tbe search lie
has been conducting he has made dis
coveries which cause him to believe, an
-a- s, tiiat bis sou lias been murdered.
Young Allen, whose erlietment in tbe
United States armv expired last fall, has
been making bis home with his father,
Minos E Allen, since that time. Being
of a rather industrious nature and not
caring to remain at home in idleness, he
secured a small farm near Bridgeville the
first of tlm year and so well lias he work
ed that at the present time there is not a
more productive piece of land in the
neighborhood. His father states tiiat
there is no reason that he can think of
why iiis son should leave, especially as
lie lias a large acreage in canlelonpes a 1 -
moet ready for shipping, and tiiat it is
hardly likely that lie would leave at this
time w ithout securing some one to look
after tiis crops.
FIGHT IN DEMOCRATIC RANKS
Saulsbury People Make the Charge
That Kenny is Interfering
Judging from recent developments
within the ranks of the Democratic party,
the fight between the Saulsbury and Ken
ney factions in the coming campaign is
going to be for blood.
There have been reports for some time
that the Kenney faction would attempt
to blood any move to send Willard Sanls
bury to the United States Senate in case
the Democrats should get oontrol of the
next Legislature, and now it is claimed
by Saulebory Democrats that former
Senator Kenney is taking a baud in the
gubernatorial fight.
According to the story which is arom
ing the ire of some of the Democrats,
Mr. Kenney recently seut a letter to a
friend of Senator Thomas M. M Monaghan
of Wilmington, who is a candidate for
gubernatorial honors, saving that in
view of the fact tiiat Kent county bad
some men eeeking the honor, be would
not be able to take suy active part in the
contest so far as any of the New Castle
county candidates are concerned.
Despite this letter, however, some of
the friends of Senator Monaghan have
beard that the former United States Sena
tor sent a letter to General Theodore
Armetn ng, another gubernatorial can
didate, pledging bim bis support.
Tliis information liaseome of the 1 >cal
Democrats agitated, and friends of Mr.
^aolsbury^ay that iu the fight which
must necessarily follow the Kenney fac
tion is going to be routed. It is undei
stood ttiat sume of tl e Democrats of this
country are aaverse to prec'pitatii g a
fight in a year when Democratic chances
for victory seem good to them, but others
contend that the fight must be fought to a
finish and they are anxious to see it dece
ive. Some of the Saulsbury Democrats
say they are nut uncertain as to the out
come, and that the strength of Mr. Sault
bnry is u-w such that his followers will
route the Kenney faction without much
trouble.
At a meeting of the Referendum
League of Delaware it was unanimously
decided to send a letter to candidates on
all tickets iu this state asking tkem if
they favor progressive measures.

A WONDERFUL WAR HISTORY
The Transcript wishes to call the at
tention of all its readers to the work "The
Civil War Through The Camera", which
is issued weekly in the daily Every Even
ing and now being sold for iO cents a
number, eacli of the 16 number contain
ing 34 pages with pictures of battles, sold
iers and officere, military equipments,
camps, foits, and war sceneB of every de
scription, even of battles actualy being
fought when the picture was taken, all
with tiie stories and accounts well told and
explained in print Irom the pen of Prc
feeeor Elson.
These photographs are the work of a
man named Brady who at great risk to
liis own lffe and at a cost of many thous
ands of dollars fol'owed the armies during
the whole war and took bis remarkable
aeries of views on the spot, after amid tiie
smoke and rear of battle, and in danger
of being himself struck by some of the
flying missiles. This gives to bis pictures
a life like character and graphic interest
they could not otherwise possess.
Once while Brady was takings battle
picture, the Confederate officer mistaking
tiie glistening of the sun on his camera
for a piece of artillery, opened fire on the
big clumsy affair, but luckily without
^'putting it out or action
These wonderful pictures cost Mr.
Brady a big fortune, over $50,060.00, and
bankrupted him. A number of years
after the war, tiie plates iu some manner
were loet and have only rec ntly been
discovered and given to ibe public.
Every scholar iu the public schools of
Delaware, should owu this splendid woik
which is being published for the benefit
of the public, for it leaches the history of
the great Civil War iu a vivid, striking
way tiiat educates through the pictures
as well as through the descriptive printed
matter.
The print is large and the paper very
heavy and velvet finished, tiie finest kind
used only for works of art. The frontis
piece of eacli number is a copy in colors
of some fire battle picture by Borne well
known artist, making altogether a hand
some, valual le and exceedingly interest
ing little book of 34 pages—all firlOcente
and the Every Evemng for a week at the
usual price of six cents.
The Transcbipt has read the beauti
fully illustrated numbers of this rare and
valuable work and knows from its own
examination that it does possess a high
value as a history, both for young and
old, because it teaches chiefly through
that latest and best of modern ways of
teaching—by object lessons—by pictures.
Thr Tran-cript knows it is doing its
readers a real service by urging them to
get the work for themselves and tiieir
children.
