 "The war of the rebellion, in which I was at the front from 61 to 65, left me with impaired health and a broken down nervous system. l tried doctors medi- cines and change of scene and climate, but all to no purpose. Hearing what your Paw-Paw did for others, I thought I would try 1t, and did so, also using your Paw-Paw pills, and l tell you the results are marvellous when you consider that l am 7S years old. I have taken three bottles of the Paw-Paw and one of the pills and I almost feel that I have found the fountain of perpetual youth. l therefore urge every old soldier or other person who has stomach or nerve trouble to get Paw Paw, as l know 1t will benefit them immensely 1432 S. 18th street, Philadelphia.

Pearson. Ga, March 29.-Walter Me- Neal was shot and killed this morning near here by Henry Cook, his father-in- law. The killing was the finale of quar- rel that had been nursed by the two men for some time. Cook met McNeal and ordered him out of his buggy.
 McNeal compiled, whereupon Cook drew his revolver and fired three times, all of the shots taking effect. Cook then spurned McNeal's body. Cook left the scene, going in the direction of Douglass, presumably to surrender to the authori- ties,

FIVE MEN SAVED
 FROM THE GALLONS
REVERSAL OF A CHILD'S TEsTI- MoNY IN A CHICAGO TRIAL CAUSES PRISONERS TO BE TURNED LOOSE BY COURT.

Chicago, March 29.-A child's testimony reversed, saved five men today from the gallows. The result was a striking paral- Tel to the case in which a fortnight ago millianaire Peter Van Vlissingen practi- cally demonstrated that under police pres sure boy named Wiltrax had given false testimony leading to the conviction of the boys father to murder. Today the youth ful unreliability under oath was in the case of William Mccarthy and four Polish young men on trial for murder, the wit ness being little girl. Apollonia Starosta, who first gave direct, straightforward, eyewitness testimony, apparently estab- fishing beyond question the guilt of the men and then repudiated her own svi- dence.
 The explanation of the remarkable change of front, the child declared that she had been instructed how to testify by the widow of the murdered man. Charges against the prisoners were withdrawn or the spot by the states attorney and the five men walked out of the dock free, by order of the court.

SENATE TALKS OF
 MORE BUILDINGS Bill Up for Executive Depart
 ment Quarters COMPLETION OF CAPITOL Senator spooner Contends That the Accommodation Furnished for
 Senators Are a Disgrace
 to the Country.

Washington, March 29.-The bill au-
 thorizing the erection of an additional
 executive department building in Wash
 ington today was the subject of spirited
 debate in the senate, and after several
 hours debate it remained unacted up
 on. Senators divided largely on the oues-
 ton of location, but there was also talk
 as to the necessity of better office accom-
 modations for the senate and the supreme court.
 When the senate convened, Mir Hoar | asked and obtained leave for the senate committee on judiciary to sit during ses- sions of the senate for the consideration | of business before 1t. Mir. Fulton called
 up a bill prohibiting interstate and in- ternational commerce in misbranded salmon.
 MT. Teller criticised the bill, saying it
 showed a tendency to interfere with com merce between the states in a harmful way MT Fulton said most varieties of Salmon were labelled in the name of the 1 Columbia river and Puget Sound varie- | ties. This he said was fraud. | At the expiration of quite a lengthy de- bate the bill went back to the calendar The bill authorizing the erection of a | new building for the use of the state de- pertinent, the department of justice and | the department of commerce and labor was again taken up, and Mr. Fairbanks explained the needs of each of these de-
 partments for more room.
 Accommodation for Senators. | MT. Spooner contended that attention 1 first should be given to providing proper accommodations for senator's The sen-
 ate annex, which Is occupied by senators as an office building, he termed a dis grace Ito the country" He advocated the completion of the capitol according to the original plans and the erection of a building for the supreme court, whose members he said are paying for office quarters out of their own purses. MT. Gallinger opposed the bill on the ] ground that it is not wise to put more than one executive department il one l edifce
 buildings about the White House "If
 the plan of grouping proposed should be | carried out" he said, i've will have the | capital city arranged in two groups with
 long, poor section between. I fear" he
 added, that if the tendency is fostered,
 we shall be tipped up by the White House | end"
 No fear of that" responded Mir. Fair
 banks. promptly, "so long as the senator
 from Vermont is In the capitol" | After further debate the senate rejected
 the amendment of MT. Gallinger. fixing
 the fees of architects at 21a per cent, and
 at 5;30 D. m adjourned.
