"lf You Have Tears,
Prepare to Shed Them Now"

Thanksgiving turkeys will be
skinny and scarce"
This was the statement of Mr.. Fred
Laup a Hpward at. butcher Wednesday
The scarcity Of turkeys is due to the
fact that the summer was unusually
wet. The wet weather was extreme
h disastrous to young turkeys, and
many eggs were ruined during the
setting.
Z The price Of turkeys at present is
10 cents a pound, but they may be
cheaper before Thanksgiving day. The
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1902-11-13

usual price is from IA to 16 cents per
pound. There has been a great scar
city of old corn and to this is largely
due to the leanness OF the turkeys.
There are plenty of chickens, how
ever, and It is very probable that two
or three fat roosters will in many
instances replace the fat gobbler that
has been celebrated in legend and song
for years past in connection with the
Thanksgiving dinner. The outlook for
big turkeys for Christmas is much
brighter than for Thanksgiving.

1.-THE James Boys in Missouri
which comes to the Grand next Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, is de-
scribed as human play. Many might
fight shy of the title-it is perhaps a
daring one--but the play will not hurt
the susceptibility Of any one; on the
contrary, 1t has high moral tone
throughout. 1t is full Of domestic in
terest, and the plot is cleverly con-
ceived and wrought out with construc'
tive skill combined with considerable
literary talent. The comedy parts are

Omaha, Neb., Nov. s.-The coroner's
jury which investigated the deaths of
Rev. w. C. Rabe and Miss Augusta
Busch returned a verdict that death
resulted from asphyxiation by gas
through carelessness.
A very few who have seen the con-
tents of Rev. Rabies trunk have pro-
nounced verdict of death as a pun
ishment for the many attractions OF
the seventh commandment. From this
trunk the coroner has taken and sup
pressed from prying eyes batch OF
letters from women members of con-
gregations over which Rev. Rabe had
previously presided. Each of these
letters are filled with terms of en-
dearment and expressions which show
conclusively there had been an exist
ence of an Illicit relationship between
the minister and the writer. Miss
Busch's trunk also brought sensa-
tional letters to the light which were
written to her by Rev. Rabe, and in
which the minister begs her to come
to him and avows his love for her.

to England, is i'll. He started for

Gen. Manning, who succeeds Col.
Swayne, is pushing the preparations

he is hampered in his efforts by the
fact that the country has so few re-

of awaiting supplies.
The Mullah is profting by the delay
in the start of the British expedition.
He has advanced to within a few miles
of Bohotle. He is known to have 1000
rifles. one Maxim gun, much anmuni-
ton, $4,000 spearmen and immense re-
serves of camels and sheep at his COM
mand Bohotle is well garrisoned and
has ample defenses.
