JAPANESE BEETLE PEST.
Wray Taylor Forwarding Fungus te
Kill Insects on Hawaii.

Wray Taylor, Commissioner Of Ag-
riculture, is forwarding to Hawaii a
large number of beetle fungus to be
used in killing off the japanese beetle
pest which is ravaging certain agricul-
tural districts of the big island. Prof
Koebele has prepared great numbers
of the dead beetles with fungus growth
on them for this purpose.
When placed with in the reach of the
live beetle the dead ones are deyoured
killing the eater. These in turn are
used for fungus and in this manner the
live ones are gradually killed off. WraI
Taylor says If agriculturists will take
the trouble to make use Of the fungus
beetles the pest will soon be gotten rit
of, and the government will donate tbs
remedy.

Elks Buy a Fine Piano.

Among the pianos exhibited here by
the manufacturers this week was a
handsome S400 instrument, a perfect
beauty in finish and very fine in touch
and tone. a number of local players
.ested it and pronounced it all right.
So the committee of Elks which is
looking after the furnishing of the new
hall, bought the piano and it will be
installed in the lodge parlOrs for the
use of the members.
A special order for lodge furniture
has been placed with the biggest man
concern in the country
and one of the committee stated that
The design chosen is after the pattern
of their next to finest furniture.
With the handsome hall properly
furnished there is no reason why it
will not take its place as one of the
finest halls in southeastern Kansas.

The REGISTER feels like begging the

1t so happened that in the rush at the
grounds the REGISTER failed to learn

owners names were written, gone
The exhibit was fine, four mammoth
pumpkins being entered, and it attract

BY hunting up the judges the REGIS
TER learns that the pumpkin of Mr.. J.
Il. Dunlap, of Carlyle, was awarded
the premium and if that gentlemanwill
kindly call the first time he is in lola
he will be che 4rfully introduced to the
Five Dollar prize.
1t was tacitly understood that the

prize pumpkin, but the other threeIare
the property still of those who took
them to the fair and may be had by

The thanks of the paper are eX-

\. w. brewster Smoke.

In the G.. A. II. hall last night there
was political meeting. 1t was ad-
vertised in the REGISTER and on
handbills wi h0ut hint being given
by the managers as to the nature of
the talk. $. w. Brewster, of Chanute,
was the speaker and he talked anti
expansion. antitrust. anti-prosperity,
anti-leaviug the Republican party in
power.
The hall at no time was full. If
iammed it would not hold 200, and the
crowd present was less than 100. Mr..
Brewster, AS his name indicates, is
pretty, tolerably nice man in the
bosom of his family, but when he gets
to talking politics he cuts his sus-
penders and believes anything he hears
and anything that chances to come
into his mind.
And so last night he read extracts
and talked and worked himselfup until
he made some very, very positive
statements in very, very rabid way.
There were Republicans in the crowd
and they stayed for it did them good
to get frank, unadorned, unmodilied
statement of what the fusion party in
Kansas wants. Many Democrats in
the crowd thought Returned on the red
lights little strong and they went
home, at least the REGISTER reporter
could find none who attended today.
MIR. Brewster, first of all, wants to
pull down the flag in the philippines.
Which sentiment don't go in lola.
If it was hoped by the enon-committal
advertising to get a crowd of Republi-
can voters into a trap and convert
them, the scheme miscarried. Nary a
man stirred. On the contrary, one
good, sturdy, lifelong Democrat
heard that speech and when he
realized just what kind of cowardice
and revolution his party is pledged
to, stated this morning that he had
enough. 81 shall vote for Mckinley
and Roosevelt" he said today to a
friend
1t is just possible, that if they can,
the Republican committee will get Mr.
Brewster to come here and have Il few
more talks.
