The Republican state central com
mlttee met at Topeka yesterday. The
coming political tour of the vice pres
idential candidate, Theodore Roose,
welt, through the State was the most
important subject discussed. The

Mr.. Roosevelt will spend three
days in Kansas, under the auspices Of
the national committee. He will
come into the State from the west on
special Rock Island train and will
make his first speech at Norton about

the train will "double back" to Salina
on the Union Pacific. This will bring
to Abilene Oct. 3 and big
crowd from all parts Of the county
may be expected.
From Salina a jump will be made
to Coffeyville in the Third district,
then through the mining district to
Fort Scott. Leaving Fort Scott the

'oad to Kansas City, Kas., where the
,hree days trip will be closed with

A Belfast Man in nanila.

We take the following notes from letter
to Mira. Geo. o Bailey from her son George
A., who is in Manila:
We have been in Manila about two weeks,
coming here by the way of Honolulu. We
shall remain here about two or three weeks
longer. returning to San Francisco about
April 1st, via Nagaski and Japan. l came
to make general abstract and synopsis Of
the business opportunities here and have
thus far been very successful. l had many
letters of introduction here and have had
all the attention 1 could ask. This country
IS, indeed, rich in business opportunities
and its commercial interests are something
tremendous. However, it is not the home
tor white man, and | do not think any
amount of money could induce me to settle
here. 1t is very hot and extremely un-
healthy and while the city has been much
improved under American rule, at the same
time it remains very filthy. L will write
you on my return a full description of my
trip, which has, indeed been full of new
and varied experiences At present | am
well and hope to remain so. | have not
been able to Nell Milllken as yet, but
hope to before l return. He is quartered a
long distance from Manila and to reach him
one has to ride overland quite distance.

Pewter Again I'm Fashion.

There is a fashion for pewter inst
now: pewter made into all the knick-
knackery that we have for the past
few years been seeing in silver. There
is about pewter softness and plia-
bility which make it fascinating ma
terial with which to model, and, there
fore, besides its use for small pieces,
artists are working out some of their
best designs in it. In fact, reduced
figures from life and after the antique
are being exhibited. along with those
of bronze and plaster. Smaller pieces,
happily within reach of many are bon
bonieres, trays and ash receivers,
mugs, plates aud small figures. All
of these are presented IN innumerable
shapes and designs.
Collectors of mugs are being made
happy by this revival of the use of
pewter, and little short OF madness
is about regarding the number and
rarity of those seen at informal even
ing parties, or at other times decorat-
ing the side walls of dining rooms.
The plates also are mostly seen as
wall decorations and produce a stun
ming effect when we'll hung against a
brilliant background.
1t is not difficult to keep these
pewter ornaments clean. A good
rubbing with chamois every fortnight
j. oil that is necessary. 1t is not de-
sirable for them to have the shining
luster of silver; the tones OF pewter
should be soft and gray.

Some Results From Spraying.

A Montreal correspondent Vt the
Farmers Advocate writes as follows:
With reference to spraying fruit
trees l would say:
/. | have sprayed six seasons-ap.
Piles aud plums.
.. use five pounds sulphate copper
to forty gallons water, five pounds lime
milk, five ounces Paris green. Spray
three times each season. viz, first,
before blossoms burst; second, after
blossoms fall; third, ten days later.
3. The chief points TO observe in
preparation OF solution are: CAREFUL
ness in mixing aud applying in calm
weather. with tirst-class appliances.
4. The resnlts are: (al All trees
sprayed have a healthier appearance
in trunk, limb and foliage. lbl Fruit
is much more free from spot and
fungous disease-fully seventy I've
per cent than in trees not sprayed.
(cl The destruction Of foliage by iu-
sects much less; in fact. 4 was able 20

waichiuiness In the Orchard.

There was a time when fruit grow
ing was considered n SNAP" as it
was supposed that very little, If any,
attention would have TO be paid to the
fruit trees in the orchard, for il was
thought they were capable OF taking
care of themselves.
That day is past, for competition
and the increase in the number of in-
sects that inlest trees has increased to
such an extent that the one who grows
fruit for the commercial market has
got to be always on the alert.
Probably the most important thing
an orchardist should do is the matter
of getting acquainted with the habits
of the many different varieties of in
sects IN order that he may be able to
distinguish along this line his friends
from his foes, and determine how best
to pursue and get rid Of the latter.
Another matter of great importance
and which he should make a study OF,
and that is the character of what is
known as "low plant organisms, 8"
which are the cause of the many rusts
aud blights that tho many fruit trees
and their products are ravaged with.
The man who makes il point to
get acquainted with such matters is
the one who is going to make a sue
cess of orcharding, and for such a one
competition will have no fears.
