is open to any young American of
good moral character. Candidates
are required to pass a satisfactory

ceptionally good enc. Successful

ter service at Arundel Cove, Mary

pletion of this course are commits
stoned lieutenants in the service

lieutenant in the army and ensign
in the navy. This service as to
the benefits of retirement, ETC., is
on the same plane as the army and
navy.
Young men desiring to take this
examination should apply imme-
diately to the secretary of the
treasury, Washington, D. c., in
testimonials as to character.
Further information on the subject |

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous for
Brownsville People to Neglect,

The great danger of kidney trou-
bles is that they get a firm hold be-
fore the sufferer recognizes them.
Health is gradually undermined.
Backache, headache, nervousness,
lameness, soreness, lumbago, uri-
nary troubles, dropsy, diabetes and
Bright's disease follow in merciless
succession. Don't neglect yonr
kidneys. Cure the kidneys with the
certain and safe remedy, Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Geo. E. Waterfall, dairyman,
living in the west part of Rockport,
Tex, says: L had been annoyed
for sometime with a sharp pain in
the small of my back. 1t would
come on without the slightest
warning, and the secretions from
the kidneys were scant and accom-
panied with pain. l procured box
of Doan's Kidney Pills as l was
told that they were a valuable rem
edy for such troubles. l must say
that they did ME a lot of good,
correcting the action of the kidney
secretions and causing the pain in
my back TO disappear. l take pleas
ure in recommending them to
others suffering as did"

More Details Of Death
Of J. 5. Henderson.
A. w. Wood, c. c.
NJ. Hanson, K. R. S

A Herald man, in conversation
with Conductor Ed Burke of the
St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico
railroad, regarding the recent
death of J. S. Henderson of the
Crony at Corpus Christi, learned
that it was Mr.. Burke who jump
ed into the water and first reached
Mr.. Henderson. Mr.. Burke hap
pened to be standing or the wharf
with his wife at the tine, and Cd
seeing. that Mr.. Henderson was in
danger and apparently helpless,
Mr.. Burke jumped into the water
to save him if possible. He did
not know whether Mr.. Henderson
was dead or not, when he first
grasped the body. Some pieces of
fish net were thrown to him and
he tied it around the body and it
was pulled up on the wharf. 1t
was quite evident, Mr.. Burke said,
that death was not due to drown
ing, as efforts were made to revive
Mr.. Henderson and no water at
all was found on the lungs.

FROM yesterdays Express we
learn that Judge Jas. B. Wells re-
Gently in an interview with an Ex-
press reporter gave it as his opin-
ion that all is not yet lost for the
Democratic party in Southwest

will have walkover in this dis
trict over his opponent, DR.. Moore.
This seems passing strange.

CAPTAIN MCDONALD MIS-
REPRESENTS.

uesnA. press dispatch in the state
aSept. 80 from Mineral
49, uoses Capt. w. J..
kald of the state rangers as
Wing that the grand jury of Cam
Iron county could have found a
bill against the negro soldier out
RACERS of Brownsville if they had
wanted to find a bill" also that
the statements that he, Capt. Nc
Donald, could not be found ami
brought to Brownsville to testify
were not true as he has been So
sourning az Mineral Wells the past
two weeks. "
This is in line with the contemp-
tible part that Capt. Mcdonald has
tried TO play ever since he left
Brownsville in a huff, because the
distAct judge wisely revoked the
warrants for the arrest of the
aegro soldiers, on assurance from
Washington that they would be
held at Fort Sam Houston. While
he has died all along to discredit
the action of the district court and
officers at Brownsville, THE HER
AID has been inclined to'ignore his
rantings, but in this instance Capt.
McDonald's statement cannot be
allowed to go unchallenged. The
fact is an attachment for Capt
Mcdonald was sent to Mineral
Wells, and in reply he sent a
doctors certificate saying that he
was physically unable to come and
that it would 'jeopardize his life"
to do so. This certificate is in the
possession OF the district clerk at
Brownsville. 1t is about time now
for Mcdonald to let up on Browns
vile, as he is not covering himself
with any more glory by abusing
and misrepresenting people that
have already. borne enough.

A jim WELLS STORY.
Brownsville Nan Tells AnecdOte OF His
Happy BoyhoSd Days.

Two congenial souls were to-
gether at the Mahncke Hotel for q
little while Saturday morning
Charley Byrne, the cattleman from
McMullen County and Col. jim
Wells of Brownsville were discuss
ing the merits of their respective
sections. They were boys togethe1
down III Arkansas County and this
of course was several years ago.
Charley and l worked some and
hunted considerable when we were
striplings, said Colonel Wells to
the Express representative, and we
had a stub-tailed dog of the cur
variety that always took a delight
in robbing our hounds, as he
thought, of the credit for the work
they did. Every time they would
catch coon, skunk or rabbit, this
dog would always wait until they
had killed it good end dead, then
he would take the corpse away
from them and bring it to us and
lay it down proudly, as if to say:
The fight was something fierce,
but I won out single handed and
alone. " Mr.. Byrne said:
Yes, that was a great dog and
he was like a good many people
one can find if he gets out and
looks for them; always there at
meal time, but sits on the Tense
and grunts while the other fellow
is doing the work. While 1 am
dealing in personalities 1 might
just as we'll state that the State of
Texas owes me a debt of gratitude
for saving the life of Jim Wells
once. We were both working for
the McFaddins and Jim had a bad
horse to ride. All the boys had
left camp, but I stayed with Jim to
see that his horse did not get away
after he got off, a thing which the
best of riders would occasionally
do. He was a good rider, how
ever, and had plenty of nerve.
Our saddle blankets in those days
were square pads made out of cot
ton baggings at least the top layer
bagging. The horse offered
5Ech strenuous objection to Jim's
presence that he suddenly took a
notion to get off, but the horse in
sisted on the manner of his descent
and Jim 5 spur, which had rowel
that looked like the wheel of an
automobile, got caught in the bag
ging and he was hung head down.
The horse gave one or two lunges
still in MS tracks, seeming
ly appalled, at what had happened.
rushed up, caught the bride bit
and with stroke of the knife cut
off the corner of the pad, thus
Jim from his perilous
position. 1 don t think the Texas
have ever mentioned this
rescue of a Lone Star statesman. 1
know the State if conversant with
the facts would be duly apprecia-
tive, and turning to Colonel Wells
he asked:
Don't you think sou Colonel
Wells simply said that it was too
early to begin talking politics and
then he and Congressman John
Garner went out through the east
door of the Mahncke lobby, arm
in arm San Antonio Express.

SURVEY OF POTOMAC BASIN.
WORK coMPLETEO b
TaE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
pnfted states Takes Up the Question OF
Pollution and the Volume of
water In Tributary streams.

No drainage basin in the east is Of
greater importance or interest from
the point of view of the engineer and
the sanitarian than that OF the Poto-
mac river. and for this reason special
value Is attached TO a comprehensive
report on the physical and hydrogra.
phic features of this area, now being
prepared for publication by the United
port will be discussed the pollution by
sewage and manufacturing plants, the
quantity of water flowing in the
streams, the physical development OF
the basiu, and the forestation.
A sanitary survey has been made OF
the entrie basin, and the paper will
contain section on the pollution
caused BY tile discharge 0 fsewage or
manufacturing refuse into the streams
and its effect upon the health of COM
munities affected.
The effect of waste material from
the industrial plants III the basiu-
such as tanneries, pulp mills. wooden
mills, and distilleries -will be de-
scribed in detail. and there will be a
discussion of the epidemics of typhoid
fever that have occurred at various
points.
The report will include also all
available information regarding the
quantity of water flowing in the
stream. For some years the United
States geological survey has made
measurements of flow of most impor.
tant streams in the basin. The records
of flow will be of great value in con-
nectlon with the development of pow
er plants, as they will show in concise
form the amount OF watsr that is like.
ly to be available.
