The President on Foreign Soil.

For the first time in the history of
the United States the chief executive
has gone beyond the confines of our
country and has set foot on foreign
soil. The Panama canal was the i'm
mediate purpose and motive of the
visit. In 1853 was the first time the
public had an opportunity TO test the
merits of the famous Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, but since then it has
established an unequaled record OF
cures of stomach, liver and bowel dis
orders. In June, 1906, the pure food
and drug commissioners passed their
famous pure food bill, and the fact
that the bitters upon analysis was
found to be compounded strictly in ac-
cordance with its provisions proves it
to be a safe medicine to cure indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, costiveness, bilious
ness. colds, female ills or malarial
fever Try bottle today.

THE WHEAT CROP.

1t is estimated from threshing returns
so far in that the total wheat yield in
Kansas this year will be not far from 20
million bushels, or considerably more
than was supposed possible six weeks
ago. OF course this is guess work, and
the final figures may be either some
what above or below the 20 million
mark.
But the cheering thing about this
wheat crop is the financial end of it.
The average price of wheat in Kansas
today is about IS cents. At that price,
a crop of 70 million bushels will bring
more money into the farmers pockets
than any crop ever grown in the state.
Not only that. but the expense of gath
ering this crop has not been as great in
the aggregate as it was last year. And
again, the farmers plowed up over mil
lion acres last spring and put 1T into
corn. So they will get as much money
as ever before for their wheat, and they
will have a million acres of wheat land
for other crops besides.

THE HERALD QUITS.

In the suspension of the Topeka
Daily Herald there is much of the
pathetic.
The paper has been published for six
years under the management Of Dell
Keller, who has expended much energy,
ability and capital to make a readable
newspaper, but although with times
generally prosperous. he found the field
sufficiently covered to prevent him from
reaching profitable returns. Mr.. Keller
and his family have a wide circle of
friends and will bear their best wishes
in their promising new field of en-
deavor.
Associated with Mr.. Keller, until his
recent demise, was General Hudson
a vigorous. able editor. a soldier and
citizen of wide reputation, an intense
and loyal Kansan.
The two were prominently identified
with Topeka newspapers for twenty
years and more.
The Herald, 1t has been understood,
has never been self-sustaining and the
wonder has really been that its life
was prolonged for years without profit.
Its end, therefore, came not as a great
surprise.
