Not A Menace, The Courts Say.
COMMITTEE

The courts of Massachusetts, North Caro-
lima and Virginia have decided that a
tuberculosis sanatorium is not menace to
the health of a community, and that il
does not decrease the value Of land In its
immediate nei9hbOrhOod
The presence Of tuberculosis sanato-
rum has been a benefit also to the farmers
in its vicinity from the fact that ii affords
market for their produce. and gives more
work to the unemployed. The merchants
too have testified that the sanatOrium is a
stimulant and help to trade.
The tuberculosis sanatorium has been Of
value to the community in the raising Of
health standards. In almost every city or
town where such an institution has been
opened public splitting has decreased. more
windows have been opened and greater
cleanliness in life has resulted.
For these reasons the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention Of Tu-
berculosis declares that instead of being a
menace tuberculosis sanatOrium may be
regarded as a benefit to any community
in which it is located. whether city or
country.

Death OF Simon Nichols.

81 Nichols, the shortstop and captain of
the Baltimore Eastern League base ball
team, died at the Union Protestant Infirm-
airy. Baltimore about las O'Clock last Sun
day afternoon.
Nichols had been i'll for a week or more
at his home, in Baltimore. with typhoid
fever. Friday morning it was found that
an operation would be necessary, and the
physicians waited favorable opportunity.
The disease with which the ball player
was suffering had developed pelvic peri
tonitis, and there was some doubt as to
whether his precarious condition would
permit an operation.
Last Saturday morning he was in fair
condition, and the attending physicians
decided that as last resort he should be
hurried to the hospital and an attempt
made to save his life through surgical
means.
After bidding good-by to his wife and
some of his friends, including Manager
Jack" Dunn, who had been faithful at
tendant at his bedside, Nichols was taken
in an ambulance to the hospital early
Saturday afternoon. A few hours later
DR.. J. M. Finney performed the operation,
being assisted by Drs. Omar Pancoast and
and VIM. J. Pillsbury, the latter Nichols
family physician.
Nichols was widely known in Maryland
and Washington There was probably no
young man in base ball that had held the
love and esteem of the people as Nichols
had. His playing was clean. and by these
actions alone gained many friends.
Simon Burdette Nichols was born near
Germantown, this county. nearly 80 years
ago. He began playing ball when a youth,
and from the first attracted attention. He
played with many amateur teams, includ-
ing Jacksonville. Rockville. Norris Peters
and other teams of Washington. He also
captained the Maryland Aggies. He went
to the Southern League. and thence TO the
Philadelphia Athletics. which team he
played on three years. until he broke his
ankle He was sold by Mack to Cleveland,
to which team he refused to 60. and after
ward was traded to Kansas City, and re-
fusine again to 60 West was sold to Balti-
more.
His father. George T. Nichols, brother
Roger. of this county. survive. besides his
wife, daughter and one son. the little
son being born ten days ago in Baltimore

Revision OF The Premium List.

The directors Of the Agricultural Society
met here laSt Wednesday and devoted
considerable time to a revision Of the pre-
MUM list. cutting out a number of the
premiums heretofore offered and thereby
effecting a considerable saving in that
way. Instead of separate premiums being
offered for colts and FLIES Of the same age
in the various classes. there will be in the
future single premium offered for the
sexes combined. The race purses were also
reduced from those Of the past,
Mr.. Clarence Moore offered his reslsna-
ton as director, assigning as his reason a
trip to Europe, The secretary was ordered
to write to Mr., Moore asking him to recon-
slider his purpose.
Plans were adopted looking to the giving
Of a horse show on large scale during the
exhibition.
All of the directors were present except
Messrs Bradley and Moore.

A Shocking Tragedy.

Tuesday evening between and o'clock
Richard W. Allnutt was brought here by
Sheriff Welt from his home at Jacksonville.
this county, charged with assaulting and
brutally beating his mother, Mrs. Nathan
W. Allnutt. and his sister. Mrs Valeria
Veirs, widow of the late Samuel }. Veirs,
with a piece of a pitchfork handle. and
lodged in Jail to await trial in court. The
assault occurred at Jacksonville about 8
O'Clock on the morning of Tuesday at the
old homestead of Mrs. Allnutt and Mrs.
Veirs died from her wounds about 8 O'Clock
the following evening.
The assault grew out Of a family rupture
over the settlement of the estate Of the
late Nathan W. Allnutt, the husband and
father of the parties concerned.
The family connection of these parties
is one Of the largest and most highly re-
spected in this county. The entire family
in its distress over the present shocking
tragedy has the sympathy Of all the citi-
zens throughout the county.
The public is inclined to the opinion that
the assault originated in the temporarily
unbalanced mind Of Richard Allnutt. His
life previous to the family quarrel had
been that Of a good citizen. He is now
about 45 years Of age and only a few
months ago married He is farmer and
followed his occupation with success
Miss Jane Rawlings remains in criti-
cal condition and Mrs. Allnutt, the latest
reports state, is improving. Miss Rawlings
made her home in the family of Mrs. All
mutt and received her wounds in an at
tempt to assist Mrs. Allnutt and her
daughter when the assault was made
uDon them.

School Teachers In Meeting.

The mid-winter meeting of the Associa-
ton of Montgomery County Public School
Teachers at the Court House, last Saturday
was pronounced to be one of the most
successful gatherings of the kind which
has been held in this county.
The only circumstance to mar the occa-
sion was the fact that many of the High
School teachers were absent. in attendance
upon the State High School Teachers AS
ISOLATION, which met in Baltimore on the
same day. This fact, however, enabled
one to realize that the multiplication OF
High Schools in this county has not served
to detract from the personnel of the teach
ing force in the graded and district schools.
Indeed it would be hard to find more
wide-awake, intelligent and refined gath
ering of ladies and gentlemen than graced
the courtroom on that occasion.
Superintendent Earle B. Wood presided.
The invocation was given by Rev. B. W.
Waters, native of this county and re-
turned missionary from Japan.
1t was announced that Mr.. B. H. Warner
would give prizes this year to the boys for
oratory, and also that he wonld give SINH
lar prizes for competitive essays by the
girls. Mr.. Warner was present and made
very striking and humorous speech. say
ing that he was down and out" politically,
but that his interest in the public schools
and the development of the children of the
county was none the less earnest and
abiding.
The county health officer, Dr. c. II. Man.
mar. read very carefully prepared paper
on health and hygiene, to which the audi
ence listened with great interest. He ex-
planned the nature and manner of con-
tracing certain contagious diseases, in
Guiding tuberculosis, in a way to elicit the
aid of the teachers in checking their spread
The president of the county school board
Mr. George H. Lamar, was called on and
made an impromptu speech, in which he
congratulated the teachers upon the way
in which they were discharging their duties
He emphasized the Importance of the sug-
gestions made by DR.. Mannar, rehearsed
the precautions now required to prevent
the spread of diseases. and urged the
teachers to give their personal attention to
sanitation and ventilation in their schools.
He called attention to the fact that
Johns Hopkins University would supply a
summer course for teachers, beginning this
summer, and urged as many as possible to
attend
In expressing appreciation for the labOrs
of the older teachers, reference was made
to the presence of Miss Lucy Garrett, who,
at her own request was retired about
year ago. Her popularity among the teach
ers was shown by storm of applause with
which the words of commentator for her
were received.
The round table on school MANAGEMENT
was conducted by Prof. R. w. Stout prin-
cipal of the Poolesville Grammar School, and
a number of the teachers creditably par
ticipated in the discussion which followed
Mr. Stouts excellent address.

Confederate Shaft At Rockville.

The plan to erect memorial shaft to
the Confederate Veterans of Montgomery
county had its origin two years ago, when
the Ridgely Brown Camp learned that the
body of Colonel Ridgey Brown rested in
an obscure spot on farm now owned by
negroes. His family would not consent ia
a removal Of his remains. and since the
graves of other soldiers from this county
are widely scattered, Robert Carter for in
stance. being buried in Ohio, Walter Gibson
Peter in Tennessee and others where they
fell in battle or died in prisons or hospitals,
the appropriate marking of each individual
grave is impossible Therefore il was
deemed fitting to erect at the county seat
a memorial which should bear the name
of every man from Montgomery county
who wore the gray.
1t is the purpose of the camp to raise
$4,000, for it is felt that no less than that
sum will be required for such a memorial
as will be worthy of the men and the cause
ii is intended to commemorate.
The committee in charge of the project,
whose meeting in Rockville last Tuesday
has been noted in the county papers, feels
much encouraged by the subscriptions re-
ported by the ladies attending their meet
ing. They take this opportunity of thanking
those who have so literally responded in
cash to our cause. Any others who have
not been reached by those authorized to
solicit subscriptions and who wish to aid
the undertaking. will please correspond
with our secretary, Miss F. May Sellman,
Comus. Maryland.
We will also greatly appreciate any ser
vice rendered by the press.
Respectfully.

Experiments in clearing land. digging
bitches, subs0iling and making tree holes
by the use of dynamite instead of by the
usual processes were conducted at the
Maryland Experiment Station. College Park,
Tuesday, and for several hours the sur
rounding country was filled with echoes
from the blasts.
The digging Of a ditch 80 feet long, 4
feet deep and feet wide proved an in
teresting spectacle. This exhibition took
place in the field west of the college The
ditch was opened by intermittent expl0-
sions of dynamite. the sticks being placed
in the ground several feet apart.
The dynamite for subsoiling was placed
three feet in the ground and the earth
was disintegrated for about 9 feet on all
sides without disturbing the surface Of the
ground. This subsoiling means that the
ground is practically plowed three feet I'M
