MAY SUBSTITUTE HENS
State VIII Likely Omit Turkey on
Menu of Institutions.

VIII the inmates of the different
state charitable institutions have tur-
key for Thanksgiving? The state
board of control is wrestling with this
question right now. 1t has been Gus
tomary to furnish turkey and cram
berries to the inmates but this year
the price is SO high that chicken may
be substituted.
This is what it will take for the diff
ferent institutions; acquisitions are al
ready on file:
Osawatomie insane hospital, 500
pounds Of turkey and three barrels of
cranberries.
Topeka insane asylum 200 pounds
of turkey and two barrels OF Gran
berries.
Topeka reform school for boys
The Topeka state journal., 1905-11-08

400 pounds of turkey and one barrel of
cranberries.
Atchison orphans home - 800
pounds of turkey and one barrel of
cranberries.
Then it is expected that the Win
field asylum, Beloit school for girls,
Kansas City blind school and Olathe
deaf and dumb school will want about
500 pounds of turkey each.
Dealers will not quote the price of
turkeys but indicate that they will be
in the neighborhood of II cents per
pound. Cranberries are quoted at
ten dollars per barrel.

No Department Deficits.

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-Eor the
first time in the history Of the govern.
ment congress will not be asked at the
next session to make good any de.
ticits. A law was passed last winter
providing punishment for officials who
made any contracts or obligations for
future payments in excess of appro-
priations. The act is being strictly
observed in every department.
From the postoffice department a
notice was sent yesterday to all
postmasters notifying them that no
more acquisitions could be filled this
year for special request envelopes.
The reason given was that the money
available for such supplies had been
exhausted and that on account of the
law postmasters' requisitions could
not be filled until the beginning Of the

PORTLAND, June 2S.-The bodies of
Mrs. r. F. Myers and Mrs. William
Jones, who came to this city to visit
the Lewis and Clark centennial expo

the two women.
1t is supposed that the women re-.

extinguished the flame, releasing the
deadly gas. 1t was evident that Mrs.
Myers awakened to realize her peril
and endeavored to reach the door of
her room, but she was too far gone to

Mrs. Jones was not awakened by the

ThurstOn Defends Mitchell

PORTLAND. June 3O.-FOrmer Sena.
tor John M. Thurston began his argu.

Senator Mitchell in the United States
court today. He contended that he
has come 5000 miles to assist in the
defense of the senator because he had
seen the old statesman in compar ative
povery at Washington after IA years
service in the United States senate,
and he knew in his heart that a sena.

be heralded through the newspapers

meet the situation and stamp out the

ders spreading rapidly, the whole
country profoundly stirred, aud the
intelligent classes solidly arrayed
against the government, all condi.
tions seem ripe for the long predicted
revolution.
The first act Of the government after
dispatching Admiral kruger's squad.
ron from Sebastopol, was to summon
the Kuiaz Potemkiu, whose mutineers
have now been joined by the crews of
the torpedo boats which accompanied
it to Odessa, to surrender under the
threat of firing upon and sinking the
vessel. This was followed oy the dec.
lara,ion of martial law at Odessa and
Libau, and the clothing of the mill

ers.
The gravest fears are entertained Of
the mutiny among the blue jackets
spreading to the army. Should some
of the troops at Odessa be won to the
cause of their comrades Of the navy,
other troops sent against them might
throw down their arms and join the
mutineers and with the support of

and surrendered the battleship to Vice
Admiral Kruger's squadron, which ar.
