MAY WHEAT GETS SETBACK
Price Declines over Two Cents I'm
Few Minutes on Chicago
Board.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-The bull campaign
in May wheat received a severe setback
today and a decline of over 2 cents was
registered in that delivery.
The main reason for the decline was the
disappointing foreign advices, which
caused considerable disappointment among
the longs in the unloading of heavy lines
on an already weak market.
The letup in the export demand was the
principal bear factor, advices from France
being to the effect that the wheat which
has been sold here during the last few
days, presumably for French consumption,
was intended for grading bond, and to be
exported again as -four.
The leader of the campaign, who has
been an active buyer for the last few
weeks, took but small part in the trading
today and as a result the market lacked
any material support, everybody seeming
to be on the bear side.
Lower Liverpool cables caused a weak
opening and May was off to s1A6S1%
cents, and after a momentary rally, when
the price vent up to $3.50 S2 cents. there
was a gradual decline, and before the end
of the first hour the price had dropped to
79Rc.

Congressman Makes statement Under
Oath to the Committee-says
DOblIn SwOre Falsely.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-When the house
committee on naval affairs resumed the in
vestigation Of bribery charges today, Rep
resentative Lessler took the stand and de-
MED statements made yesterday by Philip
Doblin.
Il desire to deny" he said, at the out
set of his detailed statement, absolutely
and unequivocally as false the statement
made by the witness, Doblin, here y~ester-
day as to any collusive scheme or any of
the substantial details sworn to by him
here, and desire to reiterate that the facts
as originally told by me are true"
"Mr. Doblin came TO my room at the
hotel a few minutes after s o'clock. / had
left the door unlocked and he knocked,
waking me up. / asked, Who's there? p
He said, Phil or 'Doblin,' / have forgot
ten which. l said, Come in He came
into the room and said, Phil. I have got
you into trouble He said, 'How's that7'
l said, 4 have told In committee the whole
story OF the submarine proposition He
said. oh, that's terrible, that's terrible
/ said, Keep your nerve. All you have to
do is to tell the truth and nothing but the

fact that he was in a serious situatioH~and
I did tell the speaker that the proposition

notOriety OF It,"
81 should like to deny the statement of
the witness that said that the members
Of the committee who voted for the Hol-
land boats were knaves and that the others
who did not were honest men"
Mr.. Rixey-As far as you know up to the
beginning OF this Investigation, Doblin was
a mar who had enjoyed a good reputation
in New York?
81 never knew of wrong doing by Dob
lin. / never knew Of his word being doubt

its Views. But Mr.. Kennedy has solved
the problem and now peace is restored, for
he has been voted the distinction"
Cropsey Of jefferson, although serving his
first term as a legislator, was practically
reared in the state building. His father
was in the senate when Governor Butler
was impeached, and young Cropsey was a
age. The family then lived in Lincoln
across the street from the capitol. Mr..
Cropsey is one Of the most successful bust
ness men Of the house. He Is president of
three banks, the First National in both
Fairbury and WILDER and a small bank in
Steele City.
LOOMS of Dodge and Nelson of Douglas
by their keen and critical observation OF
the daily minutes have become recognized
as the watch dogs" Of the journal. Both
gentlemen are most sensitive to inaccura-
cies even in the minutest details and study
the journals closely every morning, the re-
suit being that few errors escape their
watchful eyes.
Rouse OF Hall today called TO the atten-
ton of the house the inoperativeness and
superhuity of the words "and all acts and
parts OF acts in conflict herewith invari-
dDlg dlldCutu 10 new Dlllb repeating GER
tain statutes. He pointed out that as the
bill then under discussion in its title re-
ferred to only one certain section, it could
therefore have no effect in other parts.
His point was sustained and doubtless this
rule will henceforth be followed in the
house. II so, 1t will set a precedent. for
ell legislatures in Nebraska as we'll as
many other states.
Gilbert OF Douglas today introduced a
primary election law bill, patterned after
the Minnesota law, which. compels party
participants in primaries to swear they
will support the party at election in whose
primaries they TAX part. This is to pre-
vent this wholesale fraud OF one set of
voters imposing on their political oppo-
nents by thrusting a weak and undesirable
candidate on them at the primaries said
Mr.. Gilbert. THE republicans have had
that to contend with in Omaha"

II FOOD.
A California Physicians idea About
CORee.

COuees
A well known California physician, John
M. Read, OF Redding, Cal, maintains that
coffee, when taken with the meals, has a
tendency to "embalm" or preserve the
food so that It will not digest. With this
knowledge he has made complete cures OF
indigestion, stomach troubles and nervous
diseases by taking away the coffee and
giving his patients Postum Cereal Cofree,
which helps digestion.
DR.. Reads theory is spoken OF In a let
ter from a gentleman Of Oak p. o., Cal:
who says; Twelve years of indigestion
had made me SO nervous and thin that I
could scarcely work. l had noticed the
newspaper articles about Postum Coffee
but didn't think seriously OF the matter.
Finally. however, they impressed me and
I went TO my family physician, DR.. John
NJ. Read, Of Redding, and asked him about
Postum.
HE Immediately recommended It, having
used IL in his own and other cases for ex-
actly the same purpose. DR.. Read is we'll
known throughout northern California and
he surprised me by the following state
ment; Coffee acts in many cases like a
large dose OF alcohol taken after meals.
It preserves the food so It cannot be d.
gested.'
II have great faith in DIT. Read and i'm

suit that at the end of one month 1 was

Of three months. l am a well man. nerves

steadily in weight and can do a hard days

tion Of the heart when drinking coffee,
