CLOSE THE OPEN DOOR.
An Ominous Feature of Chinese Ques-
ton Affecting America.

Berlin. July 9.-The liveliest interest
IS felt in official circles regarding the
Russo-Japanese agreement. the text OF
which has not been forwarded to the
German government. The maintenance
of the status quo which the agreement
is ostensibly intended to secure is con-
sidered most desirable.
The most delicate point in the agree
ment refers, according to the serni-ofh
cial Frankfurter Zeitung, to the I'M
derstanding to act mutually on the de-
fensive against the Intervention by any
third power in Manchuria, which still
belongs to China. The agreement,
therefore. ca not be directed against
China.
1t is pointed out that America OBJ
tanned from China concession for the
railroad and the ques-
ton is now raised here whether the
agreement is intended to oppose Amer
ica's unwelcome intrusion in the Russo
Japanese sphere of influence. If SO the
agreement is taken to mean the clos
ing of the open door.

WAITING ON CROPS.
Business and Industries Are Reported
Generally Quiet.

New York, July 9.-Bradstreet's
says:
Wholesale trade and the industries
are quiet as whole, the result partly
of midsummer and holiday influences
and also because of the desire of buy
ers to await more definite information
as to crop outcome. Retail trade. on
the other hand, has been rather more
active. but up to expectations. Low
water in northwest streams is respon-
sib1e for less doing in the output of
lumber. Collections feel the influence
of quiet trade in reports of only fair

TESTING THE FISH LAW.
Mr.. Laloge Claims He Has Right to
Fish on His Own Land

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, July g.
A trial for violation of the game law
was held here today. The trial at
tracted more than ordinary attention
for the reason that it is proposed to
carry it up to the highest court pos
sible in order to get a decision on the
constitutionality of the law.
The arrest was made and suit
brought by mutual consent or agree
ment of the deputy fish and game war
den, Clarence Riggs, and the party
arrested, Pete Laloge, both of Cedar
Point. The farmers are backing Mr..
Laloge, as they hold that they have a
right to fish on their own grounds for
their own use in any manner they see
fit. There has been much dissatisfac-
ton expressed in this county with the
law and the way it is administered.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, July AT
o'clock last evening the drouth here
was broken by splendid rain of
about one-half inch. The rain was
accompanied by drop in the tempera-

The rain was pretty general over the
county, although not so heavy in the
west part.
Crops are in fine condidtion, and
although the corn had a poor start in
the spring, it is now practically all
laid by and promises a fine crop. The
pastures are in good condition and
stock doing fine. This county will have
