TURKEYS ARE
NOW VERY CHEAP
More Of These Birds Raised in
California This Season Than
Ever Before.
A Prediction That They Will Be Less
Than 10 Cents a Pound Before
Christmas.

The housewives of San Francisco
have cause to rejoice on the approach
of the holidays over the fact that the
turkey crop in California this year is
unusually large. Never in the history
of the State has it produced so many
turkeys in one season as it has this
year. It is estimated that in Fresno
County alone there are 10000 of these
noble birds to be slaughtered during
the approaching holiday season. In
Glenn County it is estimated that there
are at least 20 900 more.
Turkeys are beginning to come to the
San Francisco market in large con-
signments. These cOnsignments have
had a tendency to reduce the retail
price.
Yesterday, dressed, they were selling
in many of the markets of the city for
| 1215 cents a pound.
Captain John H. McMenomy of the
California Market stated yesterday
that in his judgment turkeys would be
| selling at less than 1C cents before
Christmas.

The Reason for the Pitiful
Condition Of Isaac
Anton.
His Father Begged Him to Go
to the North, but He
Lacked the Means.
His Disappointment First Led tc
Dependency and Then to
Hopeless Insanity.

Isaac Anton, the insane man at the
Receiving Hospital who was found on
Larkin street a few days ago in a pitt
full condition, is another victim Of the
Klondike fever Although his mind
wanders at times and he imagines him
self to be the king of America" he
has lucid moments and seems to ap-
preciate his hopeless condition.
He has twice started a blaze in his
cell and last evening he tore the pad
ding on the walls of his room into
shreds.
For days he has been confined in his
cell, while authorities have been vainly
endeavoring to discover whether or not
he had any living relatives in America.
All this time he has had possession of
letters which show that his father, K.
Anton, and two sisters, Fanny and
Line, are at the present time living in
Peoria, Ills.
The letter which requested him to go
to the Klondike was dated Peoria, ILL.,
December 6, 1897, and said in part:
What do they think about this Klon-
dixie? I hear there will be a big rush
there next spring. Best greeting from
the family. Fanny and Line and my
self are doing our best to keep things
going, so you see we are pulling
through. do not know how long /
will be able to help you"
He said last evening: my father
begged me to go to the Klondike, as /
was making nothing here, but what is
the use when 1 have brought the
Klondike here with me? I had an IL
Elimination of it the other night, and
all wanted to get the gold. but all will
have to work hard to get it but my
self. / first got under a steamship
boiler to go there, but was brought
back to shore, so I determined tC
bring the Klondike here, and now ]
am happy as a Prince"
1t is supposed that Anton is the man
who was under the boiler on the
steamer Excelsior and was discovered
and taken back in a small boat His
| case will soon come before the Insan-
! ity Commissioners, and without doubt
! the asylum will soon hold another vic
tim, who in a struggle for gold lost his

night in Augustin Days adaptation,
The Railroad of Love-" a piece that is
both familiar and unhackneyed and one
in which the company finds that atmos-
phere of delicate farcical comedy that is
associated with its best work. Again Mr..
Worthing is the young lieutenant and Miss
Bates the capricious cousin Val. The
parts ask of these players nothing more
nor less than their own lighter person
alities, which were in the best Of form and
spirit at last nights performance. The
usual personalities of Harry Corson
Clarke and Mr.. Frawley were exploited
in the roles of Scuttleby and Benny
Demaresque. Mr.. Enos as the judge
made less effort at character symptoms
than usual, and therefore was more eff
fective Young Mr. Bosworth was stu

Illuminate Canvas Tent in the Grove l Blown to Atoms, But No One Hurt. Yesterday afternoon there was an-
 other explosion at Winchester's but
 owing to a precautionary change in the | illuminate mixing process. no lives were 1 lost and no one was injured. The illuminate is mixed in a canvas covered structure in the Grove" " away from the factory buildings, and during the last two years two men have been killed by explosions of the sub stance. After the last fatality the com pany invented new device which en- abled the man in charge of the mixing to do his work while standing 100 feet away from the tent. The new device prevented loss of life yesterday.
 The machinery is placed under can- vas shed or tent about feet high and 6 feet square. The illuminate work un- der the shed is worked by what Is called the English puddingbag system of silk bags and the operator stands at least 100 feet away working the strings at tached to the bags.
 There was considerable excitement among the hands in the factory owing to the violence of the explosion and its loud report, but the news was quick ly reassuring and, all hands remained at work.

Local Horse Owners Will Decide Who Has

 The question of who owns the best road horse in the county has been one of long standing and one that 1t has never been attempted to settle. Every horse owner who can drive his horse seven or eight mics an hour has made the claim that he possessed a wonder ful road horse. It remained for Messrs. Tillinghast and Cameron, owners re- spectively of Baby M. and Tuxedo to make some arrangement to settle this long disputed question These gen. tlemen after heated discussion re- garding the relative merits of their horses made a wager of $i50 a side to determine which was the faster The result of this wager is that Baby M and Tuxedo are to trot a three mile dash and repeat this afternoon at Elm City Park, As both horses are we'll known to all road drivers in this vicin- ity there will be a large crowd at the track to see his favorite win.
 Last evening Tuxedo was the favorite at 2 to 1, and these odds found many takers. Trainer Cook Is to drive Tux edo and Trainer Romick will handle Baby M.

 Derailed n Train and Four Persons Were
 Killed.
 Indianapolis, July 30.-The night eX- press from Chicago over the Big Four railroad was wrecked near Thorntown, Ind, at about o'clock this morning. Four persons were killed. The train left Chicago last night and was due here at about s o'clock. It was we'll filled with passengers. The train had reached Thorntown, a small place about fifty miles west of this city, and was running at high rate of speed when the locomotive iumped the track and overturned. Four sleepers which followed it were badly crushed.
 Winslow, the engineer, and Crick- more, his fireman, were mangled to death beneath the locomotive. Two tramps who had been stealing ride on the platforms were killed. Not another person on the train was injured, although the passengers were badly shaken up and frightened. A negro tramp who was riding on the trucks of one of the mail cars had a miraculous escape. w nen the car jumped the track he clung to the trucks and when the car overturned he came out on top safely.
 An investigation was at once made as to the cause of the wreck. It was found that the locomotive had jumped the track at a frog. A coupling pin was found in the frog.
 l There is little doubt that this pin was deliberately placed there with the Is no clue to the swreckers, but the rail road detectives are already hard at work to run down the miscreants.
