HE HADSWORN TO SECRECY
She Believed Death Near--Her Story
Given While Ill After Collapse at
Trial--victim Was a
Stranger.

York, Pa, Jan. l5.--Harry Keener, a
York county farmer, yesterday con
fessed that the story told by girl Of
thGs city that he had killed a man on
his farm last July is true.
The identity OF the victim is still .
mystery, but the police hope to clear
up missing points during the day.
The girl accused Keener while she
was lying on what was believed to be
her deathbed, but the young farmer
maintained his innocence until yesterday
morning, when mentally tortured by the
prolonged sweating process, he broke
down and told thep olice that he had
killed man, and described what he had
done with the body.
The girl Is Miss Lorenza Tawser, aged
is years. Last summer she was EN-.
ployed on Keener's farm near this city.
Last week she attended the murder trial
in this city Of negro, at which she
was taken sick while listening to the
testimony. After being taken home she
was seized with spasms, and, fearing she
would die, gave detailed account Of
the crime 10 her mother Her reason
for not telling Of the killing sooner, she
said, was that she had been sworn to
secrecy by Keener and was afraid to
divulge II.
The local authorities were notified
and Keener was taken into custody last
Sunday
The girl said that Keener had buried
the body in the orchard OF the farm, and
that he had painted the places where
blood had spilled. For three days rs
men under the direction OF the district
attorney searched the farm and corrob-
orRted all the girls statements except
the burial OF the body. The entire or
chard had been plougred up two or three
feet deep. While this was going on

THE CAUSE or COLDS
Good Advice Regarding the Prevention
Of Coughs and Colds.

II people would only properly foriify

per cent. OF coughs, colds and pneumonia
might be avoided. These troubles are
simply the result Of weakness, which
produces q catarrhal condition Of the
mucous membrane, which is as an inter
nal skin Of the body. When this skin
is weakened, it becomes infected with
germs which are carried through the sys-
tenn by the blood. These parasites at
tack and break these delicate tissues
and set up a soreness which produce
what is in reality an external scrofula.
The only thing that will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia is a
medication which is absorbed and carried
by the blood so that the diseased mem,
brane is disinfected, cleaned, soothed and
healed.
We have remedy which We honestly
believe infallible and indispensable for
the prevention and cure Of coughs, colds
and all catarrhal conditions. 1t is the
prescription Of famous physician, who
has an enviable reputation Of 30 years
Of cures gained through the use Of this
medicine. We promise to either effect
a cure in every case or make no charge
for the medicine. We urge everybody
in Barre who has need OF such medicine
TO try Rexall Mucu-T Tone.
IL stands to reason that we could not

Committee Praises the Work

Washington, Jan. 15.--It was learned
yesterday upon reliable authority that
the department of justice has turned
ever TO United States District Attorney
Stimson of the Southern District OF
New York all the papers connected with
the Panama Canal purchase, that has
been the target for criticism for the
last six months. Ii is believed that
this transfer is made with the view Of
bringing criminal action in New York
against publishers of newspapers who
have been held responsible for the re.
hection on the transaction.
Attorney Stimson, IL Is expected, will
turn the papers over TO District Alto

viding some means of obtaining addi-
tional funds for the construction of
the canal. The bill introduced by Sem
ator Hopkins authorizes the issue OF
bonds in the. sum of $500 100000,
which is an increase in the authorized
bond issue OF SS65,0oo, 900, does not
meet with general satisfaction, because
it removes from Congress too much of
the responsibility attached to the
making Of appropriations for canal
work.
The proposition advanced by several
senators that the secretary of the
treasury authorized to issue canal
bonds in accordance with annual APP
preparations to be made by Congress
is being considered by many senators,
and the indications are that this will
be favored.
