NO TURKEYS HERE.
Many a Christmas Dinner Will
Lack FavOrite Dish.
Only Five of the TOOthsOme
Fowls in Topeka.
THOSE ARE NOT GOOD.
Diners viii Have to Be Content
With Goose.
THOSE ARE NOT GOOD.
Also an Abundance of Duck and
Chicken to Be Had.

There is a turkey famine in Tope-
ka today. Not a good turkey is for
sale by any of the meat markets in
the city and the farmers and commits
sion house men say that there are
none to be had. There will be many a
wild housewife storm around the
kitchen tomorrow when she finds that
she has to feed the relatives and
friends on roast beef and cabbage.
Fifteen OF the leading meat mar
ketS of the city were interviewed at
noon and by actual count there were
only five lone turkeys lin this city
One of them is so small the butcher
said he would have to turn his back
to sell it another is not in a very
fresh condition having been turned
down by IS customers and the other
three have tuberculosis or something
at least they cannot be sold and are
not very desirable.
The prices for the turkeys that
happened to be alive at sunrise this
morning were like the sun IN one
respectively rose as fast as the pre-
ciOuS minutes could go by. Inc last
flock was sold at rs cents a pound and
one grocer was almost Ousted from
the meat cutters fraternity because he
attempted to sell a turkey at ~ cents.
All of the meat markets say that they
will not have any more turkeys this
season and a real true famine Is on
hand.
The cause for this palate uckllhS
famine is the wet and cold weather
that made visit to this part of the
country last spring. Almost all of
the turkey crop was killed off or given
a bad chill at this time and as re
suit they did not develop into a very
promising holiday attire. ThanksgIV-
ing demanded practically every turkey
alive and when the big Christmas de-
mand came the people were unaware
of the conditions. Almost all of the
dealers have put in orders to the com
mission houses for the tasty animals
but they can get no promises for de-
livery. orders for the big birds are
going all over the country. but the
same conditions seem to prevail
and chickens this Christmas. 1t was
bad enough to have turkeyIess
THANKSGIVING, but to add a turkey
less Christmas and turkeyless New
Years is almost beyond the powers OF
human endurance.
Only five turkeys left IN Iopeka
d, this afternoon-and these five are but
''half bright.

English took the stand he testified
that the lock was formerly employed on
