SENATOR FRYE
 AGAIN HON0RED
Elected President Pro Tem of Upper House of Congress,
 The Proceedings.

Washington, March 7.-Senator w. P. Frye of Maine today was reelected unan- imously president pro tenn of the Senate, to serve during the pleasure of the Sem ate. This is the second time Senator Frye has been honored by his colleagues. Five years ago, on February '. 1S96 he was elected unanimously. His services as pres ident pro tenn. especially since the death of the late Vice-President Hobart, have won for him the cordial administration of his fellow Senators for his able and i'm partial administration of the post.
 At today's session. MT Morgan of Ala bama concluded his speech In support of his resolution declaring the abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty between the United States and Great Britain. His peroration was really pathetic.

 At 10:40 m, on motion of MT. Al elected Senator Frye president of the Sem ate, pro tempore, to hold office in the ab- sence of the Vice President
 MT Allison and Mir. Morgan as com mittee escorted Senator Frye to the pres ident's desk, who spoke as follws:
 Senators, my cup Is full and running over The expressions of your confidence that l have received in the last few days make me supremely happy and obliged to you l am overwhelmed by them, and have nothing more to say"
 Then, at :50, the Senate adjourned un- til tomorrow.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
 crease of Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble, at least among the Americans, is certainly increasing, and while this may be largely due to the eX- citement and worry of American business life, it is more often the result of weak stomachs, of pool" digestion.
 Real organic disease Is incurable; but not one case in a hundred of heart trou- ble is organic.
 The close relation between heart trou- ble and poor digestion Is because both organs are controlled by the same grea, nerves the Sympathetic and Pneumo- gastric.
 in another way also the heart Is af- iected by the form of poor digestion which causes gas and fermentation from bali disested food. There Is d feeling ot oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stom- ach on the heart and lungs. interfering with their action; hence, arises palpita- ton and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisons the blood making it thin and watery, which irri- tates and weaKens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble Is to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt assimilation of food.
 This can be done by the regular use after meals of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive preparation, like Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores, and which contain valuable, harmless digestive ele- meiIts in pleasant. convenient form.
 It Is safe to say that the regular per sistent use ol Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stom- ach trou5le except cancer of the stom- ach.
