That crowned summer day
When Katie tuned the old guitar
And sang my heart away.

Upon her lily throat
Set wistful fancy dreaming

No senseless modern lay;
With ''Bonnie Annie Laurie, 7" 10,

To Kill Grain Insects

A bulletin from the experiment sta. tion at Fayetteville furnishes the fol. lowing information regarding grain in- sects and method of destroying them:
 "The principal insects that destroy stored wheat, corn, beans, peas. etc are angoumois grain moth, black wee vii, red grain beetle, bean weevil and pea weeyil.
 The latter two do great damage an. nually in the state to stored coyynaas Other insects damage stored grain but not as much as those mentioned
 'The best practical remedy for de. stroying these insects is to confine ina grain in tight bins or barrels and set . saucer containing about ounce of hi. sulphide of carbon on the wheat in each barrel, then cover the barrels tigbtly with sacks or boards for day and ali insects and other vermin will be killed
 NBlsulphide of carbon is a cle,r badly smelling liquid, and when m. conhned quickly vaporizes and beino heavier than air suffocates the insects as 1t penetrates all parts of the vessel containing the grain. The vapor soon escapes when the vessels are uncovered ureat care must be used in handling this substance as it is poisonous if oreathed and is highly infiammable IT. should not be used in a room that ;s .. tihcially lighted or heated. Ii is inev. pensive and can be bought at retail drug stores ''A
 Graln or peas can be put in pile on nght floor and the open vessel con. talning the bisulphide of carbon sot upon the apex of the heap and ina whole covered with blankets or sheets 10 confine the vapors within the bean Of grain. Used in that way. abont r pound to each ten of grain will be suf.

extensively and it has always given

This is the only remedy that is

AMERICANS IN KOREA
THE MAN WHO HAS SECURED GER
TAIN CONCESSIONS.
Why japan Is Angry Exclusive
RADIO Railway Official.

The news brought by the China
that Count Olluma of Japan is about
to present to the Korean Government
demand for compensation for the
violation of the treaty of 1894 by
granting a railway concession to an
American subject, is quite interesting
to number of Honolulu people, who
Glanced to meet Hon. Harry Collbran
in this city few months ago, while
en- route to Korea, or who had known
him in the United States.
Mr.. Collbran was the American sub
iect who received the concession from
the King of Korea and he is now on
the ground accompanied by couple
of expert mining engineers from Col
orado.
Besides the construction of II rail-
road system which will be extremely
| beneficial to Korea, the concession
carries with it twenty-five -ears'
| blanket franchise on some of the
richest gold fields in the kingdom.
The Korean kingdom has for many
! years remained inactive in its internal
developments While there is con
tanned within the border lines of this
government some of the richest gold
reefs in the world. still foreigners and
improved machinery have not been
permitted to enter the fields.
The present ruler of Korea has
awakened to the realization that this
has been folly. The country is now in
a condition of financial embarras-
ment, and what should be its leading
industries are at present lying
dormant.
After careful consideration of the
matter with the aid of his advisers,
the king gave the concession to Mr..
Collbran and associates. The Korean
king took this action because he be-
lieved that only American pluck and
genius could handle such a gigantic
enterprise.
Mr.. Collbran, besides being interest
ed in various ming properties in Col
Orado, is the president of the Midland
Terminal railroad operating into
Cripple Creek. He is a thorough min.
ing man and he was one of a number
who amassed great fortunes out of tn
famous Cripple Creek boon. He has
behind him in his Korean scheme. a
very strong syndicate of New York
capitalists He will return to New
York in a month or so to report pro
gress to his company and it may be
that he will pass through Honolulu
While here on his way to Korea Mr.
Collbran talked freely of his undertake.
ing to one or two acquaintance.
The outcome of Japan's grievance
against the Korean kingdom will he
awaited with the greatest interest
The Japan press states that the com
pensation to be demanded will more
likely be in the form of a concession
of rights rather than a monetary in
demnity. This is because of the finan
cial condition of the country. The
cession of an island or islands is re
garded as being too severe a penali \
for breach of discipline. However, tho
United States may have something Il
say about this matter and Japan.
Count Okuma may have all his worr,
for nothing.
