White has consented to take active
direction of its work. Mr.. S. W.
Atkinson succeeds r. G. Atkinson by

Among the most Important. pieces
of business transacted was to relieve

has offered to do this for nothing, and

Gum chewing, which began at
some Of the female colleges and finally
took hold on the vast army OF dyspep-
tics, is now numbered among the new
dangers to human life. Pepsin, with
an india rubber body is its best form,
but it is not just what people ordi-
narily think 1t is, and many of the
doctors are up in arms against the
use of it.
The constant salivary dribble occa-
stoned by gum chewing prevents, by
depletion Of the glandular supply,
that steady flow Of saliva which occurs
at meal time. The practice then Is
certainly provocative of indigestion
and consequent Ill health. When ta-
ken into the stomach chewing gum

generated lye.

Proceedings of the second meeting
of the State Geological Survey
which met here on December LIST.
Meeting called to order by its
president, Gov 6. w. Atkinson.
members present, G. w. Atkinson,
NJ. A. Kendall, DIR. J. H. Raymond,
and S. w. Atkinson Absent, James
II. Stewart.
In view of the proposition of the
U. S. Geological Survey read to the
commission by the State Geologist
be it
Ordered, that Prof j. l.. Johnston
be and is hereby relieved from SER
vice as assistant geologist and from
the duty of establishing and mark
ing the true meridian lines of the
various county seats of the state,
aud that the State Geologist, be and
is hereby authorized to accept the
proposition OF. theU S. Geological sur
vey to establish and mark such lines
on the best terms obtainable.
1t was ordered that the salary of
DIR. White, state geologist begin
Jan. l, 1898. This is $4,000 per year.
Ordered that the salary of Prof
S. b. Brown as an assistant geologist
and curator of the collections begin
Oct. 1st 1897. This is $3.50.
Prof T c. Atkeson rendered his
resignation as secretary of the com
mission which on motion was &C
cepted.
President Raymond was elected
Secretary to serve without salary.
$3.50 was ordered paid for two
record books purchased by Prof
Atkeson.
Then the next motion created the
o-.'v breeze which ruffied the serenity
of the meeting. The law provide
that the members lall receive only
their actual expet incurred while
on business connecs~-e with the COM
mission. The motion was to the ef-
feet that the law should be strictly
complied with. 1t was made neces-
sary by the fact that some of the
members travel on passes and yet put
in their bill for full railroad fare
which is a plain violation of the stat
ute.
The motion was lost, DR.. Raymond
and Gov. Atkinson voting aye, and
Messrs. Kendall and S. w. Atkinson
no. A very significant fact can be
seen in comparing the bill of the gov
ernor with the state treasurer. 1t
may be stated that each travel on a
pass and that the expenses of each
should be within a few cents of that
incurred by the other. Gov. Atkin-
sons expense account was for $7,3S,
while that of Mr. Kendall was 1923. 10.
This shows that the treasurer is
opposed to the law $15.72 worth
The matter will be brought up at
the next meeting and it is to be
hoped that this form of stealing will
be stopped.
On motion it was ordered the
form size, issue of publications shall
be left to the decision OF. a commit
tee composed of the State geo ogist
and the executive officer

Frank Malcott'sTriaI.

The trial of Frank Walcott at
Huntington charged with the muir
der of Will Webb progresses slowly.
Walcott it will be remembered a
couple of months ago deliberately
shot Webb without provocation kill
ling him instantly. Much interest
attaches itself to the trial because
Webb was formerly a resident OF
this place.
The reliance of the defence is on
a very flimsy and threadbare plea,
that of insanity. Every physician
in Cabell county has heen summon
ed and will testify as medical ex-
pert. The trial is not expected to
last more than a week.

THE EASTMAN TRIAL.
New venire Again Ordered-Two Al
ready Accepted jurors Assailed.

Day before yesterday 1t seemed that
the Eastman case would go to trial at
once, but yesterday some peculiar
complications arose. Only four more
jurors were needed and it was thought
that they would be easily obtained.
However, but two were chosen out of
the venire and another has been or.
dered.
To cap all, two Of those already
accepted were assailed by the defense
The court ruled one of them out
and reserved his decision on the
other. 1t is said that other jurors
will be attacked by the defense. The
case is at a standstill until another
yenire arrives.

Erroneous Diagnosis.

A man down at Morgantown OBJ
tanned some pills at the drug store fol-
the cure of insomnia. That night he
found in the dark what he thought
was the pill box, and swallowed, as he
supposed, three of the pellets. He
then slept soundly. In the morning
it was discovered that he had gulped
down three of his wife's shirt-waist
buttons. -Fairmont Index.
A similar accident happened in
Homecoming several years ago. The
victim, however, did not ''sleep sound
w. but grew worse and was treated
three days for pneumonia before the
buttons were missed. Then his wife
let button hole down in him, fished
them out and he is now loading his
usual three cars day.-Frostburg
