100000 Turkeys.

The New York correspondent to the
Baltimore San in his letter of November
23d, says:
Give hundred thousand turkeys-esti
mated as the number that will be adopt
ed by New York folk before nightfall to-
morrow-are among those present this
evening.
1.-THE turkey will go to his gravy serene
in the knowledge that those folks who
expect to stab him when his back is turn
ed will pay dearly. 1t will cost 80 cents
pound to entertain any turkey whose
death certificate was filed in the last few
days. Turkeys that have been summer
ing and wintering in cold storage for sew
eral seasons will bring as high as cents
pound. A recently departed l5-pound
turkey will put frightful dent in a five
dollar bill, and even one of uncertain an
tiquity will not entitle the purchaser to
more change than he can carry.
A tour of the places where turkeys
congregate at this season showed that
styles change very little from season to
season. Markets that cater to the Fifth
avenue and Upper West Side are show
ing the large, double-brested variety,
with the corpulent waist line and old gold
complexion that always distinguishes the
barnyard aristocrat. Half dozen chins
and highly manicured nails indicate the
luxurious existence they led before being
invited to the woodshed.
"In another section of the city, espec-
tally on the Lower East Side, the direc-
toire, or straight front turkey, seems to
find popular favor. 1t is remarkable
chiefly for the great distance between
head and body. In many instances it is
possible to start at the terra Gotta top
knot and feel along the neck for Is min
utes before finding the body. Trying to
find place to stuff it has gotten to be
matter of guesswork that purchasers
leave the neck on and stuff that, not
wishing to take chances on losing the
body Where enaciation is SO pronounc-
ed as to excite suspicion, the butchers
use bicycle pumps to initiate the bosom
and tires of the bird"

TO Stockholders.
The Western Maryland Railroad wal
sold at public auction last Friday at Hill
en- station by Special Master John Hink
ley, acting under orders of Judge Morris
of the United States District Court.
The minimum upset price, Sc, 500, O00
was bid on behalf of the convertible
bondholders by Frank c. Nicodemus, Jr..
and Henry c. Cooper, of New York, as
soon as bids were called for. There being
no other bidders, it was almost at once
knocked down to these purchasers. 1t
took less than five minutes to make the
sale, which involves some 400 miles of
1 railroad and over 500, 900, 900 of securi-
ties, in stock and bonds.
That the sale would be a perfunctory
proceeding was expected. The railroad
officials did not anticipate any rivals as
buyers ahead Of these bondholders, who
practically represented the reorganiza-
; ton committee. The representatives of
the bondholders were prepared to bid up
to the extent of these bonds outstanding
had any other bidders appeared.
Special Master Hinkley will report the
sale to court and it will doubtless be rat
flied within 80 days. Then the reorgani-
cation committee will proceed with its
work of rehabilitating the company and
turn it over again into the hands of the
stockholders.
The stock has changed in characterize
les somewhat. The holders in the old
company We're assessed 70 per cent, or
$40 share, to meet the requirements
on the road. Much of this has already
been paid in, most of it by the old own
ers, indicating the confidence they had OF
maintaining control of the property.
The directors who will doubtless be
continued, it is said, are Messrs. Benja-
min F. Bush, George j. Gould, Edwin
Gould, Howard Gould, Winslow S. Pierce,
Lawrence Greer, +. 7. Jetfries, W. H.
Taylor, Alexander Robertson, George r.
Gather, w. A. Wilbur and S. Davies
Warfield.
Messrs. Gather and Robertson were
added to the board at the last annual
meeting. The first is the local counsel
for the system, while the last named is
the vice-president and general manager
Of the company. If this board is con-
tinued, which seems likely, it was said
that Receiver Bush will be continued as
the executive head of the road.
The personnel Of the board shows that
the Gould interests still hold controlling
voice in the Western Maryland affairs.
If Mr. Bush is continued it will indicate
that their influence is dominant, since he
is known to be practically a personal
representative of Mr.. George J. Gould in
handling the Western Maryland PROPOSE
ton.

Next week the latest musical comedy
BRIGHT EYES,

lNchL Wcch LIIC ldtCoC iIuoiSol SoihSuy
hit
BRIGHT EYES,
companion to "The Three Twins by
the same author and composer, adapted
from the laughing success, mistakes
Will Happen" company of 100 people,
musical score of 20 numbers.
The unparalleled prosperity of 1.-THE
Three Twins" is likely to be equalled if
not surpassed in the latest musical COM
edy production by Joseph M. Gates en-
titled Bright Eyes" which is by the
same author and composer. 1t is an
adaptation of the roaring farce-comedy
mistakes Will Happen" set to bright
catchy music, something delightful to
hear all the time and always something
to laugh at.
There are twenty musical numbers,
every one gem and sung in the most
irresistible way by company of singing
favorites and an attractive and thorough
ly trained chorus. Among the entertain
ers who head this notable company are
Cecil Lane and Florence Helbreck. Be-
sides it's musical superiority and the lyric
excellence the comedy is fast and furious
and the book is one of the most enter
tanning offered in the musical comedy
prod uctions for many years. There is an
absolute freedom from vulgarity and
horse play and there are many mechani-
cal novelties of scenic attractiveness to
add to the effectiveness Of the ensembles
and the stage pictures.
The staging is deliberately novel and
the costumes magnificent, especially the
numerous variety of those worn by the
pretty chorus of over fifty girls, who are
not only possessed of pleasing voices but
excel as dancers. The production is en-
tirely new and fullof delightful surprises
in it's company capability, it's fascinating
melody and catchy lyrics, its roaring COM
edy and clever situations.

COMMITTEE ON GOOD
ROADS BUILDS BRIDGES

The good roads committe appointed
by the Commercial Club. DE- G. A.
Perkins, Guy Dickinson and 7: L. Beard,
has been doing some more good work.
Last week Mr. Beard, S. P. Gotta and Guy
Dickinson went out and put up bridge
across Russian creek on the Fayette road.
Dunn county furnished the lumber and
the two men the work. 1t is planned to
erect two more bridges across this creek
But there has been delay because the
farmers are slow in cooperating with
the committee.
A bridge ITO be built on the Man.
ming road also and several culverts
made. The committee is finding hard
work in getting the people in the neigh
borhood Of the improvements. who will
use the roads The most. to assist them
in drawing stone and filling for the foun-
dations and culverts.
F. A. Little Of Fayette is building a
larger bridge near his place of his own
accord. The county is not even furnish
ing the lumber as the cost is more than
they can allow for !. one bridge 1t is
suspended on wires and will be excel
lent in every way. Mr.. Little deserves
great credit for what he is doing and if
it is possible for the Commercial Club,
through it's good roads committee, to as
sist him in any way it should be done.

OPPOSE OPENING
Of RESERVATION

II is stated upon good authority that
the Indians at the Berthold reservation,
which it is planned to open to settle
ment in the near future. are bitterly
opposed to the plan. Their reason for
opposing the proposition is the allotment
of land that is to be made to the Indins.
It is stated that under the rules as they
have been worked out it will work a
hardship upon large number of the
residents of the reservation as at the
present time the entire reservation is
used for a range, and most of the support
of the Indians comes from stock rails
ing and many Of them are owners of
several hundred head of cattle. which it
would be impossible to take care of in
proper shape should the allotment be
made as it is now planned There has
been movement started against the
opening and a delegation Of the Indians
will probably 60 to Washington in the
near future to consult with the officials
high up III the administration of Indian
affairs.

'BRIQuET1INe WILL
i . SOON Be PRACTICAL

The subject of briquetting Ignite coal
is one which is interesting those who
have the future growth of this part OF
the country at heart and much is being
done every day toward making the
process practical and bringing it to
perfection. The University School of
Mines is doing a great deal of work
along these lines.
The fact that such great mines of
Ignite surround Dickinson makes the
subject vital one here especially to
those who have big mining interests.
j. F. Brodie Of the Consolidated Coal
Co. is greatly interested in briquetting
and has several samples Of what has
been done in that line at his Office.
There is no doubt but that as soon as the
process is made practical, this company
will be among the first to try it.
The University has sent W. B. Snyder
to the east to. visit the great govern
ment briquetting plant at Pittsburgh
which J.sF. Brodie Of this city recently
inspected. Mr.. Snyder will study the
eastern methods and results. He has
accomplished considerable in expert
ments at the university during the
winter. and has also made investigations
Of the gas producing qualities of Ignite.
It is expected that this fall will see
the beginning Of work at the mining
experiment station at Hebron, authorized
by the last Legislature. The field of
work for this department is very large
and there is nc. doubt but what great
deal Of good will be accomplished along
these lines.
