LIE OUT WHERE,
IuteIy DobIin's Story of Collision
Between Them.

Washington, Jan. 29.-When the house
committee on naval affairs resumed in
vestigation of bribery charged this
morning, Representative Lessler took
the stand and denied the statement
E,ade yesterday by Philip Doblin.
II desire to deny" he said, "abso-
lutely and unequivocally. as false, the
statement made by DQblin yesterday
as to any collusive scheme, or any of
the substantial details sworn to by him
hereto, and desire to reiterate the facts
as originally told by me are true"
Lessler mlnutely detailed Doblin's anC
his own movements and conversation
while the former was in the city, and said
that he told Doblin that all he wanted him
to do was to tell the truth and nothing
but the truth. He said he had never had
any intimation of the character of Dob
lin as shown by his testimony before the
commission, had never known of any
wrong-doing by Doblin in any manner be-
fore, and was at a loss to account for the
change of testimony on the part of Dob
lin.
Answering a question as to any obliga-
ton he might nave been under to Doblin,
Lessler said: Goblin has been in political
life about twenty years. He has been a
very useful man to q great numbe of
men. My judgment is most of them have
simply used him and when they have been
through they threw him up like q dish
rag"

There were sheds for the vehicles, and

Y HE season of catching cold is upon
US. The cough and the sneeze and
the nasal twang are to be heard on
every hand. The origin of chronic ca.
tarrh, the most common and dreadful of
diseases, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Then follows sensitiveness of
the air passages which incline one to
catch cold very easily. At last the per-
son has a cold all the while seemingly,
more or less discharge from the nose,
hawking, splitting, frequent clearing of
the throat, ~nostrils stopped up, full feel
ing in the head, and sore, in1amed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruua
properly used, never fails to cure a COM
mon cold, thus preventing chronic ca
tarrh.
