Own Your Home .

Editor REGISTER: There are some
good renters and some not so good.
Every man should try to own his own
home. Renters who take good care of
the landlords property have no en-
couragement to plant trees and beau
tify the homes of others. And If the
owners of the farms plant trees and
shrubs and vines and small fruits it
hardly pays as these things require
constant care, and it does not profit
the renter much if he is to move of in
a year or two. If a man is moving
about yearly he can have but little
love of home or country and his bet
ter nature is growing poorer as the
years go by, and so many fall into
the slipshod class.
Then what about the wife and chill
dren? They cannot grow up with a
love of home aud community. Such
as move about can not have love
of the beautiful in their lives, and soon
join the discontented class. And what
about the neglect of neighborhood
/ pride, loss of interest in school and
church Like the ancient circuit rid
er's daughter when asked about her
childhood home, she replied, ~ never
had any, home, " well where were you
brought up ? son, around Boston,
| Cape Cod, Nantucket and all along the
shore So Il good many today might
say, we never had any home. Children
brought up in this way can hardly
compete in life with those who have
enjoyed good and beautiful homes.
Isnot the poets saying true and
ought not everybody to have the same
feelings; "How dear to my heart are
the scenes of my childhood, When.
fond recollection presents them to view,
The orchard, the vineyard, the deep
tangled wildwood, And every loved
spot that my infancy knew" Every
young man and woman ought to seek
| by every honest endeavor to get
home some spot of ground they can
call their own. A good many who
rent land had much better buy some
piece OF land, a 40 or 80 acres .even il
they can pay but a few dollars on it
at the first, then there is a constant
incentive for man to do his best. The
wife and children have much more
also to live for, than II they were just
renters.
1t makes a great difference with
many as soon as they enter the pro-
prietor class. Then by honest and
faithful industry any man can so i'm
prove his home as that it is all the
while increasing in value. Every tree
and vine and shrub adds to the enjoy
ment of home and in odd hours many
useful and ornamental touches can be
put on the place that II renter will not
do, thus home attachments are formed
and the desire for the better in school
and church grows till the whole man
is elevated. But some one says,
"Don't go in debt" Well, in general
it is best to keep out of debt, but there
are some advantages even to the debt
or. He learns to be saving and care
full and by ownership of the land can
soon make it yield twice hs much per
acre. Then child raised to labor
and save makes a much better man or
woman than one raised either in idle
ness or on rented farms where there is
little done one half the year but to
eat up what is raised the other half

Prince Tuan has left Peking and join
ed General Sung in his position, twenty
miles to the northward, the Dowager
Empress having issued an imperative
command for the reoccupation of Tien-
tsin and Taku. This step shows de-

Regardless of Age.

The kidneys are responsible for more
sickness, suffering, and deaths than any
other organs of the body.
A majority Of the ills affecting people
to day is traceable TO kidney trouble. 1t
prevades all classes of society, in all eli
mates, regardless of age, sex or condi-
ton
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
unmistakable, such as rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, sleeplessness, pain or dull ache in
the back, a desire to urinate often day or
night, profuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick dust deposit in ur-
inc are signs of clogged kidneys, causing
poisoned and germ-filled blood. Some
times the heart acts badly, and tube
casts wasting of the kidneys are found
in the urine, which if neglected will re.
suit in Bright's Disease, the most dan
gerous form of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence of
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Roct. 1t has Il
world d-wide reputation for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
No one need be long without it as it is
so easy to get at any drug store at fifty
cents or one dollar. You can have a
sample bottle of this wonderful discOv-
cry, Swamp-Root. and a book telling all
about it, both sent to you absolutely free

MISS CHAMBERS CHARGES REfUTED.
She Criticized Hospital Affairs Az

Shc Critic1Zed HOSpitui AHhirs Al
ter Two Days Spent in Manila.
Washington, Aug. S-Miss Margaret
Astor Chanler, of New York, has for
warded from Manila to the secretary
of war severe criticism of the army's
medical system in the Philippines, al
leging that there is lack of surgeons,
lack of nurses, lack of medical sup
plies, including such articles as sheets,
and asking that she be allowed 500
sheets for emergency distribution. A
copy of Miss ,Chanler's criticism has
been forwerdN to Mrs. Cowles, the
sister of Governor Roosevelt, and to
several officials and individuals OF
prominence. Secretary Root referred
Miss Chanler's letter to Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg, who has been making
a thorough INJURY into the various
points raised. He yesterday submitted
to Mr.. Root what is regarded as COM
plete refutation of the arraignment OF
the medical service in general and OF
the specific points of arraignment
made by Miss Chanler.
The correspondence has not been
given out, but it is understood to be
of a rather spirited character. From
the standpoint of the medical officials
here, Miss Chanler's criticism loses
much of it's force from the fact that
it was written only two days after she
arrived at Manila. The records OF
the war department have been brought
forward to show that many Of Miss
Chanler's specific charges lack ground.

ATTORNEY GARMAN ACCUSED.
Denies Charges of Attempting to
Bribe WiIkesbnrre Councilman,

Bribe n WiIkesbnrre Councilman,
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. S.-The iH-
vestigation Of the bribery charges in
city council were continued yesterday.
Councilman Santee, who swore on
Monday that he had been offered a
bribe by George J. Llewellyn. was call
ed for cross examination. When ques-
toned as to why he waited seven
months before he informed councils
that enc Of it's members had been
bribed or an attempt made to do so, he
said he was reluctant to inform on his
friend Llewellyn, and he knew it would
be hard to prove charge.
Councilman THOMAS Wheatley, who
was instrumental in bringing about
the investigation, testified that he met
Attorney John NJ. Garman in an eat
ing house in this city a little over a
month ago, and that they started to
discuss municipal affairs, including
the efforts of a new electric railway
company from Scranton to gain ad-
mission in Wilkesbarre. Witness knew
that Mr.. Garman was attorney for the
company. Mr. Garman asked the
councilman what he would take for his
vote Mr. Wheatley wanted to know
what he was willing TO pay. and the
attorney said $500. Witness said the
other side were paying $500. Mr.. Gar
man then said that in case the Scran-
ton franchise was secured Wheatley's
vote might be worth $1,000. This end
ed the conversation, and the witness
said nothing to any one until he ex-
posed the matter in council.
Mr.. Garman swore hat he never Of
fered Wheatley cent of money that
he was not authorized to offer it and
that the company he represented did
not have money to spend in that way.
Another witness corroborated Mr..
GarRIan's testimony to more OF less

Merchant and His Wife.
Philadelphia, Aug 6.-Robert w.
Sinclair, aged 81 years, fruit commits
sion merchant in this city, and his
wife, Annie E., aged 80 years, were
both found dead Saturday night with
bullet hole in each Of their heads in
the garden in front of their summer
home at Green Tree station, on the
Pennsylvania railroad, near this city.
Whether 1t was a case Of mutual sui
eide or murder and suicide will prob
ably never be known. The couple had
frequently quarreled, and some time
ago separated. Last week the wife re-
turned to her husbands house. Sin
clair and his wife each carried pis-
tol, for what reason no one could ever
find out. Saturday night as the hus-
band reached home and was entering
the gate neighbors heard him ex-
claim Don't shoot" and a few seconds
later two shots In quick succession
were heard Several of the neighbors
rushed into the garden and in the
darkness found Mrs. Sinclair lying
dead. Close by her head was her hus-
bands revolver, The husband was
lying AcW ACCl o"oy, ohu uAcu IA "a
few minutes without regaining con-
sciousness. The wife's pistol, small
weapon, was found about three feet
from his body. There are three theo-
ries as to how the tragedy occurred,
One, that they agreed on mutual sui
eide; second, that both fired at the
other as If in duel, and, third, that
the wife killed the husband with her
pistol, threw it near his body, and
then took her own life with his re-
volver The police are inclined to be-
