A Sad Calamity.

On Saturday afternoon of last week Mr..
Walter II. Henderson. son of Judge and
Mrs James B. Henderson, of this town,
was instantly killed. with thirteen other
men. by an explosion of gas in Bottom
Creek coal mine. at Vivian, West Virginia.
He had been an engineer of the company
operating the mine since he graduated
from the Lehigh University. Pennsylvania,
about seven years ago. and was recently
promoted to chief of the corps of engineers.
He was 20 years of age and the youngest
son of Judge Henderson.
His remains arrived here on Monday and
were inferred in the Rockville Cemetery

were held at the home of his parents, con-
Quoted by Rev. Louis W. Watson. of the
Presbyterian Church, and hymn, entitled
Jesus Lover of My Soul" was sung by
Miss Wellman. of West Virginia. an init
mate friend Of the deceased, in sweet,
musical voice. The floral offerings were
beautiful and prcfuse, covering the casket
and lying banked against the walls of the
room in which rested the corpse.
He is survived by his parents and three
sisters and three brothers. And the men,
bers Of the family have the unfeigned
sympathy of this entire community in

Rev. T. d. Richards Eulogy
Or The LATE JOHN H. GAssAwAY, DELIVERED
AT THE LATE HOME Or The DECEASED

AS pastor | never euloeize the dead.
Those who deserve it don't need it those
who need it don't deserve it. A mans
life speaks Of him more eloquently, forcibly
and truthfully, as rule. than his funeral
orator can. A minister cannot add to nor
subtract from a mans virtues by means of
a post mOrtem discourse neither can he
cover up nor spirit away a single vice by
similar method.
But | am not here this morning as the
pastor of the deceased. | am here as his
friend-as a friend who is deeply panied
at the parting A more faithful friend
and true have never had neither do
expect to have better yea, | might add
neither do desire better. What he was
to me. he was to a multitude of others, to
a greater or less degree.
His sterling qualities as Christian gen.
1eman were ever manifest to all in every
phase of his long, active life Those quail
ties distinguished him most among those
who knew him best; or, among those who
were capable of appreciating the nobest
traits of human kind
Had the time, would gladly attempt
an analysis of his character for examina-
ton by his friends gathered here this
morning not for his praise. but for your
profit.
| would that more men left like legacy
of good example to the world, especially
to the generation Immediately succeeding
them. can well say to each one of this
company go thou and do likewise" |
can say this with more than common
assurance of giving wise counsel.
His life should help each and all of us
To be courteous and kind to associates
smile as we pass along the way of life.
To be upright in business to be one that
can be trusted even in the dark
To be diligent in some honorable calling
and make life success.
To be pure and temperate in personal
habits both in private and in public life.
To be faithful and true to both God and
man in every obligation of life.
With these qualities of life and heart,
we can face without fear the last enemy
we shall meet-death. as did he in the
last conversation had with him.
If one life can help us all in these
virtues, may each of us. in turn, bless
those who are following us so closely upon
The stage of earthly action.

viii Reclaim 1900 Acres.

Plans for the retaining Of 1900 acres
of swamp land in Montgomery county have
been drawn up by the drainage division Of
the Department of Agriculture. and Mr.
John r. Haswell. resident drainage engi-
neer for the State, has taken up headquar-
tiers at Easton to study local conditions,
with the view Of working out the plans at
the earliest possible date.
The area TO be reclaimed lies between
Seneca and Edwards Ferry. on the north
bank of the Potomac. Through the pro-
posed system Of bitches. the storm water
from the hills south of Poolesville can be
taken off, and backwater from the POto-
mac will be prevented. The cost Of the
work is estimated at 100000. the expense
having been increased by the need for
several sluices under the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal.
Advocates Of the proposed reclamation
project declare that by expanding on an
average SIS an acre on land now assessed
AT So, the value Of the land will be raised
to 500 an acre, or a net profit of $4,000
for the 1900 acres involved,

Health officer Mannar, of Montgomery

Health Officer Mannar, of Montgomery
county, said that the county in showing its
sewerage on Washington was guilty of an
"unneighborly act"
In outlining his plan for securing bond
issue, Attorney Whyte said that he would
favor the bonds being issued for thirty
years, and commission of three members
being appointed to determine what pro-
portion of the interest and sinking fund
should be paid by the various communi-
ties affected by the improvement This
payment should be reapportioned every
five years until the bonds have been re-
deemed, he said.
Following Mr.. Whyte's speech half
hours general discussion of the subject
took place.
There is nothing else to do but carry
out this plan in the way it has been pre-
sented tonight" declared DR.. o. M. Linthi-
cum, of Rockville,
DR.. William l.. Lewis. of Kensineton,
said: The present plan, it seems to me. is
the one we ought to take hold of at once"
William Tyler Page served notice on
the meeting that Bethesda district had
given its promise to the county commits
sioners that it will endeavor to secure an
appropriation from the legislature at the
coming session to provide a sewerage out
let into the Potomac from that district,
and that this district cannot wait until
1914 to take part in the general plan.
Our word is given. said Mr.. Page. I'VE
can't wait until 1914, but will ask the leg
islature for an appropriation at its next
session"
1t was on the motion of Dr. Ryan Deve-
reux that the meeting voted to have a
committee appointed to work with the
State Board of Health in bringing to the
attention of the legislature in January the
need of an immediate survey for the pro-
posed sewerage system. DIR. Morgan, it is
expected, will appoint the committee within
few days.

wounded by his cousin, Joseph Prather,

was taken to the Casualty Hospital, in
washington, early Sunday morning and
died there Monday morning. JOS Prather
was arrested Sunday morning by Deputy

lowed an effort of Joseph Prather to act as

his cousin and another man the

cursed him and struck at him with his fist,
which provoked the use of the revolver.
Only one shot was fired, the bullet enter

First Mortgage Bonds Are Taking
The Place OF The Old First
Mortgage

Mr. Editor "A mortgage is usually given
to secure notes the notes calling for in
terest semi annually, and when the first
is due, il is necessary to give receipt
and indorse the payment on the back OF
the note. II you wish to sell your mort
gage and notes. you have to have the title
re-examined, which takes from three to
four weeks time, and large fee must be
paid for having this done. There is no
way you can divide your mortgage If you
wish 10 sell part Of il. or wish TO realize
part of your money. With the new plan
the first mortgage bond does away with this
inconvenience. This method has been in
practice by large corporations for years.
but has recently been taken advantage OF
by the individual, who can make the same
use Of il as the corporation by making the
mortgage to a trust company or bank, and
having the trust company or bank issue
him bonds, with interest coupons attached
the trust company or bank certifying as 10
the number of bonds and amount Of the
MORTGAGE When the owner Of the bond
wishes his interest, all that Is necessary is
TO detach a coupon from the bond and de-
post il in the bank.
The bond is negotiable II the owner Of
the bond needs money at any time, he can
90 TO the bank or individual and get II
within few hours time. as the certificate
Of the trust company or bank is on the
bond, certifying that the bond Is secured
by first mortgage, also giving the name OF
the party owing the mortgage and the
location Of the property covered by the
mortgage.

what's the Reason?
Many Rockville People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.


There are scores of people who drag out
miserable existence without realizing the
cause of the suffering, Day after day they
are racked with backache and headache
suffer from nervousness, dizziness, weak
ness, langour and depression. Likely the
kidneys have fallen behind in their work
of filtering the blood and that is the root
of the trouble. Look to your kidneys, as
sist them in their work-give them the
help they need. You can use no better
remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Below is grateful testimony from suf-
ferer in this locality
William H. Rabbit, Derwood, Md, says
Il cannot say too much in praise of Doan's
Kidney Pills. After suffering for five years
from kidney complaint that resisted all the
remedies | tried. ! heard about Doan's
Kidney Pills and procured a box. My
trouble began with sharp pains across my
back, soon followed by retention of the

came serious. Doan's Kidney Pills effected
