iNOI'iiUi. i EAR.

Today closes ;.nO;her year and marks
another milestone on LIES Journey.
The past yea: has been hA.A one with
many Of our people, aud especially will
the year upon which we are entering be a
trying one OH many, especially those
who till the soil. The corn crop has
been short and III macy pla"cs the yield
Of cotton las been below the average
And ;he p.icG OF corn and Howr cortin-
ICES to oup aud thc cnd does not seem
to be ~ sight The lesson to learn from
Ibis condition is to plant more q! the
thiiGs SC need to cat and not depend III
one crop.
The troublr with this country is that
everything is run on the credit basis and
most Of the crop is spent before it is
made. The credit $ystcm ',ns tendency
to make people cxtr,raEant. We will
never be prosperous until we get of the
credit system and get OH the cash basis.
Our farmers should learn the lesson we
have tried so often to impress, namely:
to grow OH the farm everything needed
OIL the farm. When this is done we will
he prosperous and independent sec
ton.
What we want to do is to look hope
fully TO the future and not pine over the
past. We live in the best section of tho
world and our farmers could be the most
independent people III the world if they
only would. We hope they may soon re-
alizc the fact and make themselves indie
pendent. They have the solution in
their own grasp.
The Herald and News wishes all it's
readers and all the people happy and
prosperous New Year. We will con-
time to give you the news and hope to
deserve and receive your encouragement
and support.

Kansas Land i. Soaring.

Topeka, May Farm lands are
getting as high as tree in price down
our way" said Senator Tom Noftzger,
of Harper county. AS an illustration
1 will cite an experience 1 had myself.
When was making my campaign last
fall l offered to sell my farm for
So, 600. I couldn't get buyer. After
1 came to the legislature raised the
price to $4,000. When I got home
found a man who wanted to buy it at
that figure. 1 then refused it. He
then offered me 81, 800, and l still held
off. He made me an offer of S., 900
cash, fiat. 1 declined it. Other prop
erty has gone up the same way

A DOCTOR HIS TIME.

Portland. May 6th-Dr. E. A. Rose,
a practising physician, formerly Of
Yates Center, Kans., was on what
everyone supposed was his death
bed He had Diabetes, and six Of
his brother doctors were in attend
ance and consultation at his bedside
They had done everything that medi
cal skill could suggest to save his life,
but they were at last reluctantly forced
to tell him that he must prepare for
death.
His aunt had been summoned to his
dying bedside After the doctors had
given her nephew up, she insisted that
as a last resort, he be given a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose, the tide
turned in his favor. His life was
saved, and he is hale and hearty to-
day.
This case and it's cure has amazed
the physicians, and is the sensation of
the hour. 1t is interesting to note
that while many others are being
cured this great discovery in medi-
cine. the physicians themselves are
among the first to benefit, and that
while the simpler and more prevalent
forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica,
Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Fee
male Weakness disappear before it,
the more malignant forms, such as
Bright's Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy,
which have always been regarded as
incurabIe, are yielding just as easily.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast super
ceding all other treatment for Kidney
Disease, and as nearly all human sick
ness and suffering has its origin in the
Kidneys, the use of this wonderful
medicine is becoming almost universal.

THROUGH THE COTTON BELT.
First Glimpse Of Cow Boys And
Long Horned Cattle.
AT HOUSTON AND AUSTIN.

Austin, Tex, May 6.-After leaving
New Orleans the waving ricefelds of
Western Louisiana were passed during
the night and the new oil fields of
Texas whirled by, and in the morning
the presidential party was flying over
the dead level plains of Texas to Hous-
ton and to Austin. The governor and
party of State officials met the party
at Houston where occurred pleasant
incident which the president referred
to in his speech in Austin lone of
the pleasantest incidents of my long
journey. Given into my hands by the
widow of the last president of the
republic of Texas was the flag of the
republic. 1t seems appropriate that it
should have been given in the city
bearing the name of the soldier, states
man and hero, General Sam Houston,
the first president of the republic"
During the day the president had his
first glimpse of the long horned Texas
cattle and picturesque cowboys on
range horses. The presidents reeep-
ton in the Lone Star state was con-
tinuation of the ovation he has re-
ceived throughout the south. Every
honor was shown him and his party,
and there was much enthusiasm.
There were some interesting features
at the reception at Austin and a pic
turesque scene at Prairie View, where
the president addressed the colored
students of the state normal on a
stand erected on the open prairie at
the side of the track. He said:
II thank you for your hearty well
come. l have visited a number of the
institutions of learning provided for
your race and. it has given me great
satisfaction to observe the advance
ment of your race since the immortal
| proclamation of liberty was made.
| The opportunity of learning is great
| privilege, and l have been glad TO note
| that your race is endeavoring wher-
| ever you live to enlighten your minds
| and prepare yourselves for the respon-
