Trily.
Turkey la plentiful In Omaha and the
price la 25 rtent rrr pound for eholoe bird.
I-et year the price ranged from 21 to )
centa. the minimum flsrure applying to
birds of rather aorry olas. This time a
i.uarter of a dollar buya the best the mar
ket haa to offer.
Do into any of the larger downtown meat
market and you will find countera piled
hlh with the feetlve blrd-not ttr cold
eiorace variety, either, warning about
which already haa, been sent out by Dr.
Wile. It la probable! that the 25-oent
pound rate In not effective In some- of the
amaller suburban markets, for newa of
that kind travels 7o'w!y and many of the
email market proprietors have not yet
heard of the general reduction In meat
price.
MoKt eAerybody looks upon turkey as an
absolutely nnreaxary adjunot to a Thanks
giving dinner, bu there are some peraona
who prefer goose, duck or chicken, and for
thin claas there la an abundance at prices
otlll lower than the turkey schedule.
Twelve and a hair centa per pound buya
the best chicken on the market In the
down-town shops today, ducks are 16 cents
and geese lhb centa per pound. Nearly
every big meat market In the city offera
the same prices on these birds, or at least
very nearly the same.
Many of the turkey's offered for this
Thank Halving day are shipped Into Omaha
from Texas, despite1 'the fact that Ne
braska and Iowa are both premier poultry
atHtuR. It Is explained that the demand
fir home product Is much greater than the
aupply, find that f! why Texas has been
called upon. The mere fact that the de
mand exceed the supply Is an index to the
general proHperlty of this city for every
body almost everybody, at lesit seems to
be able to afford turkey. It Is a safe
guess that the per capita consumption of
turkey In Omaha tomorrow will rank higher
than In any other city of like else In the
Vnlted BtateS. The Omahana eat all their
home poultry raieers 1 produce and then
send to the vaat expanse of Texas for
more.
la Which Caie Mr. Rine Will Have
Two Assistants to Ap
point. John A. Rine will qualify as city attor- !
ney of Omaha following his election by
the council, aa noon as possible after j
Thanksgiving. The next question to be
settled Is the appointment of one or two .
asslstanta. !
I. J. Dunn will remain for smne time an 1
first assistant since he haa been so Inti
mately connected with a great many 1m- '
portant casea In franchise mattera. It I ,
not thought likely, however, that Mr. Dunn
will remain In the position throughout the !
rest of the term, which la about eighteen '
months. !
Mr. Dunn says he haa been desirous for i
a year or more of giving up the office and j
going back to hie prlvnte practice and It j
was largely friendship for Mr. Hurnam and I
a sense of duty that kept him there. Since
Mr. Rine haa become hia new chief he ;
will probably take advantage of the situ- ,
atlon as aoon as possible and go. I
The members of the group of nine conn- j
oilmen who elected Mr. Rine do not deny
that the appointment of a republican at- I
torney to one of the asslatantshlps Is more j
than likely. They deny any agreement with ,
Mr. Rine that Is lnyanyway binding, but ,
since his election was the result of a
oompromlse between republicans and demo
crats, some republican representation In
the legal department would be a very
natural development j
The assistants are appointees of the at
torney, hut Mr. Kine says no one haa aa ;
yet been considered. "As Is to be expected," j
said Mr. Rine. "I will try to get some-
one who will be satisfactory to the men j
who elected me, but 1 can make my own
choice."

CHRISTMAS MONEY TO OLD
COUNTRY CROWDS MAILS

'The amount of Christmas money aent
from Omana to foreign countrlea la aur
prlKlng," aald Vostmaster Thomas, "and
the greater part of It goes to Sicily, Greece
and Italy."
While the postmaster waa commenting
a long line of swarthy-cheeked men and
women stood waiting for their turn at the
money order window. These people are
Industrious, seldom out of employment, and
their economical method, of living enables
them to save money much more rapidly
than Is possible for Americana to do under
the native environment, and, aa nearly
every one of these forelfltiers has relatives
In the old country, and as ChriHtma ia a
world-wide celebration, It Is their custom
to remit money to the leas fortunate ones
left behind at the old home.
So great Is the rush even thua far In ad
vance of Chriatmas that Postmaater
Thomas has found It necessary to add an
extra man to the money order foroe.
"Tlmea are good this year, everybody haa
money, and we are expecting the Christmas
rush to begin earlier than usual atl the
way thiough not only In relation to for
eigners sending money away, but In the
package bunlness also." said Postmaster
Thomas, "and In order that we may be
able to handle all business with dispatch
and accuracy we are beginning right now
to complete preliminary arrangements."
A large shelf la being placed In the lobby
of the poatoftlce building for the use of
patrons who wish, to add finishing touches
to the wrapping and addressing of pack

More than )M prisoner. In the county
Jail will be given chicken dinner Thurs
day, with celery, pumpkin pie and all the
other usual delicacies of the average man's
table on Thanksgiving.
Silas Wright, who has the contract to
feed the prisoners the year round, an
nouncea this menu, notwithstanding the
fact that he haa to figure on the meal for
each prisoner costing not more than H
cents.
On the faoe of It one realises that this
is a splendid problem In domeatlo eoon
omlos. but the contractor declares he has
worked It out and tha answer is just as
It Is given.
II holds the math small oaJ part of It a
secret and adds that the dinner will be
Just aa good, and better In many cases,
than the average Thanksgiving meal of
the ordinary man. And tola statement Is
corroborated by the keepers of the county
prison, who declare they often eat the
meals furnished by Mr. Wright and pre
pared by hia oook.
The Thankagivtng dinner menu for tha
prisoners la the city jail has not been an
nounced. It la said that some of the
prisoners ar getting anxious. For the last
f sw dsys "jail blrda" who have bad the
"pleasure" of being arrested at previous
Thanksgiving ' tlmea have been trying to
break. Into the cells."
However,' Judge Crawford, who Is very
wise to the ways et the upper and under
world, has refused to pass sentence upon
all of these, with the exception of ene. In
that case his ootnpaaalon was for one

Judge felt In thla case It was permissible,
as WaalUnston oares more for the flaky
cocaine than for the mast delectable
chloken or turkey that ever roosted.
"lie won't know when the dinner le
served," the Judge said.
