There was funny incident on King
street yesterday afternoon. An old col
ored farmer brought into town a live tur-
key gobbler that he tied to his wagon with
a long piece of rope. Some corn was scat
tered On the ground and the gobbIer began
to make meal In the midst of his eating
u small and always annoying fox terrier
came along. He spied the gobber and de-
termined to worry it. He barked and bark
ed, and finally grew bold enough TO snap
at the bird, This caused the turkey to get
in a rage and putting himself up and
spreading cut his tail he struck terror into
the heart of the little dog who ran away.
The fox terrier determined to have re-
vange In few minutes he returned, and
following close upon him were three or
four other dogs known as the boardyard
type, They formed an attacking party
and soon the poor gobbler was beset upon
all sides before the Cclored man who own
ed him realized what was happening. The
bird grew excited and giving a violent tug
at the rope that held him, succeeded In
pulling his leg out Of the moose
The cry was Immediately raised that a
turkey was loose and the small boy who Is
always around Oh such occasions joined
in the chase The turkey flew on top OF
wagon, but was chased from there and
aighted on another wagon. He kept 60
ing from wagon to wagon until he reached
one of the trees in the rear of the City
Hall, and then flew up on limb, from
which he was taken by his owner.

GENERAL WEYLeR'S PLANS.
A Report Tint He win Return Mt onca
to Pinsr del Rio.

HAVANA, Nov. 25. The unexpected ar.
rival here Of Captain General Weyler from
the province Of Pinar del Rio, without
having been successful in bringing about
an engagement of any Importance with
the insurgents under Antonio Maceo, Is
causing considerable comment here, and
there are many rum ors in circulation. On
one side ii is asserted that Weyler's return
means that he Will shortly return to Spain
on some plea or another. Officially, how
ever, this is denied. Indeed, 1t is given
out that Weylsr will return to the prov
ince of Pnar del lilo Mt once to resume an
active campaign against the insurgents
under Mnceo.
In insurgent circles 1t is said that their
leaders claim that the return OF the cap
tain general to Havana without bringing
about an engagement with Maceo is
equivalent to defeat Of the Spanish
forces, for the latter have completely
failed to carry out the program mapped
out by the Spanish commander. 1t is as
serted that the plan Of Antonio Macco was
to avoid general engagement with the
Spanish troops, us he fecls confident that
the wearisOme campaign being conducted
by the Cnbnns must ultimately exhaust
tho Spaniards.

81 want you to telephone to the hospi-
tails and see if my wife is dead, but
didn't do it," These startling words were
addressed to House Sergeant Durney by
man who appeared to be greatly excited.
The officer recognized the man as Samuel
McClenaghan, a grocer at Thirteenth and
French streets. He was greatly excited
and extremely nervous. He affected a
mysterious air and the police began an
investigation Immediately.
The man took a chair and waited while
Operator Kane telephoned 10 the two hos
pitals While this was In progress Nc
C!enaghan talked to Sergean. Durney. He
had little to say in reply to the questions
asked. He said that he did not know
whether his wife was dead or not, anI
seemed anxious that the messages would
be received. When asked regarding the
affair he said II don't want to make
statement now | was in my home and
they were after me. ! don't know whether
my wife is dead or not. ! did not do it,"
Replies were received from the hospitals
that no one had been brought there. Nc
Clenaghan then said to Officer Gillng, who
was in the hall: you had better 60 down
she'll tell you who did it," Officer Gilling
and Operator Kane at once went to Nc
Clenaehan's home at Thirteenth and
French streets, The front door was open
ed and they entered to make an investiga-
tion.
The officers called and succeeded in
awakening Mrs. McClenaghan, who was
unharmed. When questioned she said she
thought her husband was in bed until she
was awakened by the officers. He had been
there about an hour ago and must have
got out and gone to the hall with his
startling story, The policemen returned
to the City Hall to report to Captain
Chambers, and when they arrived they
found that McClcnaghan had gone insane.
He talked about his wife being injured
or dead and about q secret hole or speak
ing tube in the roof and number of other
things. McClenaghan was taken to the
Office on the second floor and when this
paper went to press Police Surgeon
Hughes had been summoned to attend the
unfortunate man.

TIE ROYAL. RUAp,


It's mans bad habits that hurt him
more than overwork. The little habits of
coffee and tobacco hurt worse than some
of tho big ones, because they are continu-
ed more steadily than tho greater habits.
Many man is simply poisoned to death
by the alkaloids OF coffee ard tobacco and
never will believe what is hurting him,
Let him quit tobacco and use Postum
Cereal, the food drink In place Of coffee
and very soon he finds that nature, the
great rcstorer is ut work. No medicine is
needed, simply quit doing those things
which poison and waste the encrgy, Gnd

Canadians Watching the Bermuda,

HALIFAX, N, s., Nov. 25-Although the
Canadian authorities at this port profess
to believe that the steamer Bermuda will
not attompt to carry cargo of arms and
ammunition to the insurgents at Cuba,
precautions are being taken to prevent the

dhtion In Canada waters The fact that the
vessel is lying deep in the water, it Is be-
lieved, led the Spanish consul general ut
Montreal to communicate with the gov
ernment The Spanish consul ut this

Fowls do not fatten well in such wealth
er and even if cold snap does come it
cannot effect the corpulency of the fowls
as they already have been prepared for
market. But 1t will have its effect on the
price. 1t costs considerable to ship fowls
in the warm weather and this figure will
have to be made and no one will pay it but
the consumer.
There are already quite number of
turkeys in tho city.
Thomas N. Stayton was one dealer who
received ton of the fowl from down state
raiscrs yesterday. He got rid of them
in very short time but declares ho will
not handle such u large quantity again
when the weather is such as it was when
he received the lot. The birds sold to-day
ut retail from 10 to IS cents pound.
Chickens were more plentiful than tur-
keys but it is altogether probable that the
smaller fowl will receive II set back this
morning when raisers from every village
of the county at least will have d display.
The chickens sold from IL to 10 cents and
geese ut II cents u pound.
But fowl is not all that makes an old.
fashioned Thanksgiving day dinner.
Game, vegetables and cranberries play
quite as important a part and in ell these
there is plenty. Cotton tails were, per-
haps, never before represented They,
unlike the tame turkey, are fat, but warm
weather injures them in considerable
degree.
Nevertheless they are sweet, and sell
well at 25 cents piece. Of the vegetables
there are the ever festive turnips sweet
and white potatoes the price of which like
other articles are governed by the supply
and demand
Dealers say there is an cxceptionly good
quality OF cranberry in the market this
season which sells at IL cents quart
There arc Others for and 10 cents, but Of

make your selection and pay the price
Celery is an indispensable adjunct to the
dinner and 1t can be obtained in any
quantity 1t sold as high as ) cents
bunch. Then thore are fruits and nuts
and various other things to please tho
palate and while all these are being en-
joyed let no one fail to give thanks for the
kindness of that One, who has caused IA
plcntitude of life's necessaries, and that
the homes have been preserved through
season of business depression.
