Open Ports.

Washington, July 16.-The
Manchuriau question is settled
satisfactorily to this govern
ment. Assurances were receiv-
ed from the Chinese government
that it will in the near future
open as treaty ports several
ports now closed to the worlds
trade.
The Russian government con-
veyed formal assurance to the
United States government that
it will not in any way oppose
such opening.
While the reports to be open
ed are not yet specified, it is
gathered from communication
received that they are Moukden,
the principal inland port of
Manchuria, and Ia Tung Kao,
at the mouth of the Yalu river.

In some touching obituary
lines the Sweet Singer of the
Whitsett Cou rier contides to us
the following particulars:
The doctor sighed and told him,
Your time has come to 60"
Twas fifteen minutes to 8 o'clock
Though 1 think the clock was
slow.
He did not then make answer
But looked toward the wall
Where a motto hung-God bless
our bone
He had placed there in the
fall.
Have you no word to leave
behind
Before this su mmons terrible"
No word he seemingly did find,
In fact, not even a sylla BILE.
30 tell us, is the future bright
To which your eyes you're
raising?'
No answer to that question
slight,
But he looked like it was
blazing.

The astronomers and scient-
lists will not let the moon stay
dead; they seem determined to
people it with suffering human
ity, Notwithstanding they've
told US for so long. that the fire
was out. If it gels to be more
active than formerly, heaven
help the lunatic asylum!

After all the shadows
Bitter storm an tide
One streak o. sunshine
An throw the shutters wide!
Welcome to the violets,
Rimmed with dancin' dew
Red rose fer yer sweetheart,

Laughin' as they run,
An all the world a,sayin'
Howdy to the sun!

SOME BRIGHT JEWELS.
Worth Reading from the Atlanta Con-
StitutiOn.

When the Billville prodigal
son returned, he 81 ouched about
on the outside of the farm and
finally mustered upn courage
enough to dispatch this message
to the old man:
"Father-This is to let YOU
know that your Projickin' Son
have come and is mighty tired
AND Hungry"
The old man thought a mo.
ment, and then said to the mes.
senger:
"Tell him if he kin tackle
bacon an greens, to come in an
fill up; but I'll be burned eff I'm
in the veal business eny moren'

The world may be a wilder

GOOD TINE FOR WEAKFTsHING.
Trey Are Biting Well Around Raritan BAY
Large Fellows Hooked

New BRUNSWICK, n. j., Aug. 22.--W eak-
fish are biting freely in Staten Island Sound
and Raritan Bay, and fishermen report
large catches in the last week. Every boat
at Boynton Beach and the Amboys was In
use last Saturday and Sunday.
Keyport, Morgan, South Beach, Perth
Amboy, South Amboy, Sewaren and Boyn-
ton Beach are about the best places to 90
after the gamey sea trout in this part of the
State. Unusually large catches have been
made at all of these places in the last three
weeks, and the fish are large.
Fishermen have found that the line should
he rugged according to the depth Of the
water. In shallow water no lead is neces-
sary, as the bait ia heavy enough. They
four-foot leader to their lines and 20
sproat hook baited with shedder crab
They keep the bait in motion, In deep
water they Use sinker just heavy enough
to take the line to the bottom. They do not
let it rest there, but keep il up about foot
About two feet from their sinker they fasten
a cross line swivel, 10 which they attach n
three-foot leader, with the same-sized
hook rs used in shallow water, The swivel
allows the bait to reVolve without beCom-
ing entangled in the line.
South and Perth Amboy fishermen are
catching the largest Ash. This ia accounted
for by the fact that the water is clearer and
the feeding grounds more numerous In
Raritan Bay than further up the river.
August and September are the best months
for weaktishing and everything points to
the remainder Of the season being the best
ever known in these waters. Stronger tackle
Ia required at South Amboy and South Beach
and Keyport than at the other places, be-
cause bluefsh are biting well and they can
tear apart ordinary weakflsh tackle.

THE FARMERS TRUST AT WORK
KILLING OFF COMMISSION MEN
OUT IN NEBRASKA.

when They Bid ExtrayaEant Prices to
Break Up the Opposition tho Farmers
Sell Them Grain and Contribute
Share OF the Spoil to the Trust.
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 2O.-Nebraska grain
men are up against the farmers trust in
earnest. AS the years crop is being mar
keted the commission men at points where
the farmers cooperative society has
purchased or erected elevators find ii
practically impossible to buy any grain.
At one point, in York county, where
the farmers have been organized for two
years, the opposition elevator has not
opened at all AT another point tho old
buyers have secured only three loads OF
grain. Offers Of higher prices are no temp
taton to the farmers, They have been
carefully schooled in the last year to teach
them that this is only trick to break up
their own company and reestablish the
old regime.
The commission men have only them
selves to blame for the present condition
of affairs Where two or more elevators
have been running. the managers either
agree to quote only the same price or else
take turns about in buying, one day for
one, the next for the other and so on down
the line. The rural free delivery has made
the farmer wise to Chicago prices and he
can easily ascertain that the commission
merrave been dealing on a big margin.
Micdlemen and spectators have bean

doing their best to break up the farmers
organization They even secured the CO.
operation Of buyers In Chicago. The
farmers found there that they could not
market their stuff to any one They met
this move by subscribing money to buy
out an elevator and now ship their grain
there. The farmers say that their next
step will be to establish grain buyer in
every important centre.
Most Of the Nebraska cooperative or
ganizations are modelled after one at Rock
well. la. There the farmers have been
through the fight and know every move
OF the commission men. When their ele-
vator was outbid they encouraged the
farmers 10 accept the bids of the COM
mission men, but each farmer who did SO
was obligated to pay in one-fourth Of a cent
a busheI to the cooperative concern,
which was enough to keep it going at the
expense of the high bidding buyers Some
Of the wealthiest concerns in the West
have tried to beat the farmers at this game,
but have given it up in turn.
The buyers thought to defeat the new
rival by appealing to tho greed of the
farmers, but they have failed The
farmers have found it profitable to be
honest with each other The average
price of wheat at the elevator where the
fight has been made il three cents higher
than in past years, that is three cents closer
to the Chicago price than ever before. The
expenses are kept down to a minimum, il
being found possible TO do half million
dollars worth Of business at cost Of less
than per cent.
Every little transaction, however small,
is put on the books, and these are carefully
audited. The board OF directors is de-
signedly scattered over the entire territory.
The same is true OF the stockholders. There
are no shares Of stock, and property gives
no standing in the matter OF voting on
