Ten Dollars a Week for Eight
It does not seem possible that the

America, says it can be done. She

her case in The Ladies' Home Journal
for October. She gives twenty-one
menus covering a week's meals, and
gives full, practical directions by
which any woman can make as at
tractive meals as Mrs. Rorer explains,
for this small sum of ten dollars.

Sheriff Martin and His Deputies
Answer at Court.
Must
The preliminary hearing in the case
of the Commonwealth vs. Sheriff
Martin srnd his deputies, for the shoot
ing of the strikers at Ilazleton two
weeks ago was held at Wilkes-Barre
yesterday.
After all the most important testi
mony had been taken, the judges held
a conference, and Judge Lynch asked
District Attorney Fell, what he wished
done. Mr. Fell said : "Under the
evidence I think these deputies should
be held for Court.
The Judge then, asked why all the
deputies were not arrested and Sena
tor Kline said some of them went
away after the shooting and have not
been peen or heard vt since.
All the names of the deputies were
called and seventy three answered
and twelve did not. The seventy-
three stepped before the Judge to
give bail on the charge of murder.
Joseph A. Sinn, representing a
trust company of Philadelphia, be
came surety in the sum of $5,000
bail for each of the deputies for their
appearance at the next term of crim
inal court. Each of the defendants,
through their bondsman, Mr. Sinn,
also gave $1,000 bail on an additional
charge of felonious wounding. The
men then repaired to court room No.
2, where they signed their names to
the bail pieces and the preliminary
hearing came to an end.
The amount of bail for the seventy-
three deputies at $5,000 for murder
and $1,000 for felonious wounding
amounts to $438,000. If the other
twelve deputies come in and give
similar bail the total would reach over
half a million dollars.

ONE OP TWO WAYS.
The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one ot
two ways. The first way is from im
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. It is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex
traordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample

Ringtown, Pa., Sept. 20, 1897.
To-day we laid in his last resting
place Father Lorenz Singlcy, the
oldest inhabitant of this section or
country. Father Singlcy, a son of
Jacob Singley and his wife Mary
Catharine, nee Klotz, was born Au
gust 6, 1800 in Penn township Nor
thampton County and came with his
parents in 1802, at the age of two
years into what is now Beaver Town
ship, Columbia County, and settled
about three miles East of St. Peter's
Union Church (Lutheran and Re
formed) commonly called Harrier's
Church. He was the eighth of a
family of fifteen children and the last
survivor but one of this large family.
ITow, that Father Singley is gone, the
only survivor is the youngest of the
fifteen children, Daniel Singley of
Beaver Township, Columbia County,
who, though in hi3 eighty-fourth year
is still so vigorous physically and
mentally as to bid fair to attain his
departed brother's advanced age.
In 1S24 Lorenz Singley was mar
ried to Miss Catharine Gearhcart. In
happy wedlock they lived together 49
years until the date of her death,
May 21, 1873. He survived his wife
upwards ot 24 years.
This marriage was blessed with 13
children, 9 rons and 4 daughters. All
except one daughter suivive and were
present at the funeral. 1 he deceased
daughter, Mrs. Joshua Rnmbel. died
Sept. 2T, 1887 as the v result of an
accident.
The direct descendants number
219, viz. 13 children, 42 grand chil
dren, 131 great grand children, and 3
great great grand children. By mar
riage this large relationship is swelled
to a still much larger number. Five
t;eneritions were present at the funer
al, the first being represented by the
only brother, and the fifth by two
great-great-grand children, babes in
arm.
In 1842, hence 55 years ago,
Lorenz Singley settled with his family
in what is now North Union Town
ship, Schuylkill County, n the wilder
ness, and hewed out a home for him
self and his family Here he lived
the remainder of his life and here he
died.
Father Singley was an excellent
man, a loyal citizen, a consistent
christian, a faithful member and
steady supporter of the church of his
fathers, the Evangelical Lutheran
Church.
Old age was his only disease. Until
a few months ago he could still walk
out about his home and attend to
some lighter work. He still attended
church within the last year. He re
ceived the Communion privately, from
the hands of his pastor, when he could
not do so with the congregation.
A month or two ago he commenc
ed to fail more rapidly. But he was
able to be up until Monday Sept 13.
On Thursday, Sept. 16, at 3:30
o'clock P. M., he fell asleep in Jesus
as gently and peacefully as a little
child falls asleep in its mother's arms.
To-day we laid his mortal remains in
the beautiful God's acre of the Mount
Zion Evangelical Lutheran, there to
await the resurrection of the just.
Father Singley's age is 97 years, 1
month and 10 days. A large con
course of people attested their regard
for the departed and his tamily by
their presence at the funeral.
What wondrous changes have taken
place on everyside and everyway in
the long lifetime of Father Singley ?
Our country by means of the Lou
isiana Purchase, Spanish Cession and
Mexican Acquisition has enlarged her
area more than fourtold, i. e. from
about 840,000 square miles to about
3,510,000 square miles. This does
not include Alaska. Her population
increased from 5.305,000 to about
70,000,000. The Steamboat, the
Rail Road, the Telegtaph, the Tele-
phone have taken their place and how
strange it would seem to do without
them ? The scythe has given place
to the mower, the sickle to the binder,
the flail, to the separator. And these
are but illustrations. Literally hun
dreds of inventions to underrate man's
condition have been made.
A few months before Mr. Singley's
birth only 25 of the 66 counties now
constituting Pennsylvania were organ
ized i 10 were organized during the
year of his birth, and 31 since.
Neither Columbia nor Schuylkill
County were organized. Beaver
Township then belonged to Nor
thumberland County, Union Town
ship either to Berks or Northampton
Co., most likely to the latter. Schuyl
kill County was organized in 1 8 1 1 and
Columbia in 18 it. Northampton,
Mr. Singley's native county, gave of
its territory and form Monroe and
Carbon and Lehigh and Pike and
Wayne as well as a part of Schuylkill.
The first slice was cut off a few years
befors Mr. Singley's biuh. The town
ship of his birth, Penn, was divided
into East Penn and West Penn, the
latter tailing to Schuylk.ll County.
Would we see this section of country
as Mr. Sfngley fust saw it we could
not realize where we are. Verily
Father Singley lived through years of
progress and development.
