sumed and it lasted until otter
o'clock when Acting Secretary Ba-
con departed in an automobile for his
home in Westbury.

sons, were seen later going toward

The last named figure is for sO-cent
grain, which price the leading buyers

under rs cents. The estimates for

bushels; Oregon, 1880. 900 bushels;
Idaho, 100000 bushels. The ban
ner crop in the history OF the three

600. The crop in 1906 was as fol-
lows: Washington, 25,075, 25S

had been away yesterday morning.

OBALDIA is PRESIDENT.
Elected in Panama to Succeed DIR.
AmadOr.


PANAMA, July 13.-The presi-
Dental elections throughout the
isthmus of Panama passed off yester-
day without disturbance. Joe Dom
lingo de Obaldia, formerly minister to
the United States, acting president
during the absence of DR.. Amador,
was elected president.
The supporters of Ricardo Arias,
who recently withdrew his candidacy,
decided not to vote, and as a conse-
quence no opponent to Senior Obaldia
was placed in nomination. Notwith-
standing this, large number of yot-
ers registered their choice and dem
onstrated the overwhelming major
ity of Senior Obaldia's supporters.
From all parts of the republic news
has been received here that the cleo
lions were carried on in an orderly
manner and that Senior Obaldia re-
ceived all the votes cast. At the
conclusion of the balloting enthus-
iastic crowds, headed by bands of mu-
sic, paraded the streets of Panama,
cheering continuously for the newly
elected president. There appeared
to be an absolute absence of ill-feel-
ing between the former supporters of
Senior Arias and the adherents of
Senior Obaldia. Never before has
such a friendly spirit been shown so
quickly after an election.

Cured.

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. Just call

continued Mr. Taft, replying to a ques-
tion Before l went there | had been
Willie In my Cincinnati home and
among my boyhood friends. But when
! got through school, was called viii
al home My younger brother Harry,
however, never called me Willie after
a happening one day at college. We
roomed together on the top floor of
Farnam hall. Our room was Just over
tie middle entrance. Harry was a
freshman. | junior. He had gone out
and forgotten to lake with him book
lie wanted. He came back to the en-
trance and looking up on the outside,
yelled %, Willie Well, in second
there was head out of every one Of
the four hundred windows, and II SEEM

Al any rate there was one long chorus
of o. Willie That cured Harry. He

How about the four hundred stud

"oh, they called me Bill Just the
same. You see / weighed two hundred

Mr.. and Mrs. Taft attended services
at st. Luke's church today and listen
ed to sermon by Rev. DR.. John G..
Scott.
Get up and eat, for the journey Is
too long for you," was the text from

drew the lesson that frequent spiritual

command to Elijah. which he had
quoted.
