The annual election of officers of
the state board of agriculture takes
place at the rooms of the board In the
state capitol Tuesday, December Is,

z. II. Flagg, Frank Davey, G. d.
Gabrielson, Walter Lyon, G. b. Irvine
and Others are said to be candidates

DR.. Boardman Describes the Recent Olym
plan Games.
The Rev. DR.. George Dana Board
man, pastor emeritus of the First Bap-
tist church of Philadelphia, says The
Press, gave an entertaining account
on Monday of some of his experiences
while abroad.
"Perhaps the most interesting por'
ton of my sojourn was at> Athens,
where I attended the Olympic games,' u
he began. "There were few Ameri-
cans present. Richard Watson Glider
was there, and quite number Of the
committee of awards were Ameri.
cans. Other than these, one scarcely
saw an American face.
"The original Olympic games were
the greatest of classical antiquity. In
addition to the fact that they were
athletic contests, there was the su-
preme fact that they were sacred or
religious games under the patronage
of Zeus. Just because they were
sacred, into which no one could enter
whose character was not pure, was
the reason St. Paul employs athletic
imagery. A victor in the ancient
Olympic games was regarded as "a
sacred person and statue was erected
to him."
After giving a brief history of the
origin and abolition of the ancient
Olympic games and speaking of their
revival, DR.. Boardman said:

Troubles of the Night Telegraph Operators
Signalling Trains.
"When was a young fellow I was
night telegraph operator at a little
way station on a railroad" said the
individual who works the Washington
wire, as he removed shade from his
forehead, and joined the rest of the
fellows at lunch. ~ remember that
our chief ambition in those days was
to get as much sleep as we could
nights without being found out, so
that we could get along without vast
ing so much of the day in bed. Pound
we used to call sleep in those days, be-
cause we stopped pounding brass to
pound our ears on an express pack
age pillow with waiting room bench
for bunk. Funny thing is trade
slang. In those days there were very
few semaphore signals, and we had to
get out on the track with red and
white lanterns and swing trains up,
and our chiefest bane was a holding
order, for there must be no sleep with
them on our hands.
"For instance, if westbound trains
had the right of way, the dispatcher
might send me an order to "Hold No.
% for ORDERS" and then run trains
eastbound against it all the way up
the line. Quite a responsibility to put
on a 17-year-old boy. Well, if we
happened to be terribly sleepy it was
hard fight. 1 have been so sleepy
that 1 daren't sit in my chair for fear
I would fall asleep, and I have stood
up and walked around many time
for an hour or so, along in the small
hours of the morning, until the order
was revoked, or the train got in. One
way we had was to put high stool

cessive Use.
Common soda is all right in its place and
indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking
aud washing purposes, but it was never in
tended for medicine, and people who
use it as such will some day regret it,
We refer to the common use of soda TO re-
lieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit
which thousands of people practice almost
daily, and one which is fraught with danger
moreover the soda only gives temporary ro-
lief aud in tho end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels and
cases are on record where it accumulated in
the intestines, causing death by inflammation
or peritonitis.
DIR. Harlandsor recommends as the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dys.
pepsia) an excellent preparation sold by drug
gists under the name of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets. These tablets are large 20 grain
lozenges very pleasant to taste and contain
the natural acids, peptones, aud digestive
elements essential to good digestion, and
when taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before it has time to
Torment, sour and poison the blood and ner-
vous system.
DIR. Wuerth states that he invariably uses
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of
stomach arrangements and finds them GER
tain cure not only for sour stomach, but by
promptly digesting the food they create a
healthy appetite, increase flesh and
strengthen the action of the heart and liver.
They are not a cathsrtic. but intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness and will
be found reliable in any stomach trouble ex-
cept cancer of the stomach.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The probability
of an investigation by the house naval
committee of the battleship Texas, whose
numerous mishaps eliminated recently
in her sinking in few feet of water at the
Brooklyn navy yard, is strong. An in

was started during the last session, In re-
sponse to a resolution. The secretary of
the navy sent to the committee volumi-

formation regarding the construction of
the Texas, which tended to prove that she
was entirely seaworthy, in consequence of
which the investigation was informally
dropped 1t Is probable now that the in

also, it is often found necessary to obtain
the consent Of all before any can be agreed
upon. Sometimes circumstances demand
the appointment Of some one man to the
premiership, but l think Mckinley has q
goodly number from which to choose and
no one has any absolute claim on the

knows who will compose the cabinet yet.

spond, but can say nothing definitely"
Mr. White refused to state whether Presi-
dent-elect Mckinley has offered him the
