Night curtain. 8:16. , Weather forecast Intermittent rain probable, with wind. Portland has prepared for the observ ance of this day of thanksgiving on a broader scale than ever before. Whether or not Portland people have more to bo thankful for than in the past Is a matter of some question. But the answer of the majority Is found In their attitude towards the day. and It Indicates the city Is satis fied, with the year's blessings. The day falls, to be sure, In the wake of a pass ing money stringency. But that condition has affected the whole country and Port land has felt It as little more than a tem porary inconvenience. More people will eat turkey today than ever before, partly because there are more people In Portland and partly be cause there are more who feel they can afford the toothsome if somewhat expen sive bird. When the markets closed last night there were several hundred birds yet on hand, but the total number of sales had reached close to 20.000 and the big re tailers succeeded in closing out all their choicest turkeys. The demand for Inci dentals was keen. Devotional services, the football game, athletic events of a minor nature, family reunions, feasting, social entertaining, dances, concerts, theaters all the accesso ries of a big present day Thanksgiving celebration will mark today, regardless or the weather, for which the forecast is not altogether optimistic. The forenoon will be given over to tlwcaurcttei which have planned special services and fine music. The big event of the afternoon, of course, will be the football game in which Multnomah and the Oregon Uni versity teams will engage in what prom ises to be the most arduous gridiron bat tle ever fought on the Multnomah field. Two Dances at Night. . Interest is divided as to the night. The theaters all have special attractions and there is an. array of special Thanksgiving events. 1"he Oregon team will be enter tained at the Portland alumni ball at Murlark Hall. Many invitations aave been issued for this affair which will be essentially a college dance. The ballad concert and dance at the Oriental build ing, under the auspices of the Multnomah dub, is assured of liberal patronage. Smokers and reunions have been planned by many clubs and social organizations while family reunions will claim the at tention of thousands tn that most pleasant of all Thanksgiving day functions. But this all relates chiefly to those upon whom fortune has been smiling this past year. There Is the other side. Ample provision has been made for poor families. The Salvation Army will distribute many baskets of food and other charities will care for those on their lists. For girls and women who are alone in the city the T. W. C. A. will give a dinner In the asso ciation rooms, Sixth and Oak streets, at f P. M. All the charitable Institutions have prepared special menus. Even the prisoners at the city jail will get an extra slice of bread. As to the county Jail the menu which Sheriff Stevens has prepared for the Federal prisoners under his charge Is more elaborate than that which will be served In many prosperous homes. Not even the big hotels can boast a more elab orate Tcaxd. The county prisoners like wise are to be served turkey and other extras. Day in the Churches.

Turkeys suffered a drop In the retail markets yesterday in consequence of an overstocked market. While the demand was even In excess of last year, the shipments received for local consumption proved excessive. The price dropped from 25 to 20 cents a pound on the choicest birds. Some overstocked mar kets even went lower than that, offering fine birds at 15 cents. 8everal big deal ers resorted to auction sales last night to get rid of their excess and fine big turkeys went frequently for as little as Jl apiece under the auctioneer's ham mer. One or two dealers managed to clear oft their stock, but the majority were left with a surplus, and several will lose heavily. Thanksgiving for Seamen. Special arrangements have been made to entertain today all seamen from ves sels In port, at the Seamen's Institute, 100 North Front street. A Thanksgiving supper will be served at 7 P. M.. after which a musical entertainment will be given. At the conclusion of this feature a Thanksgiving service will be conducted by the chaplain. Rev A. E. Bernays. In vitations have been sent out from the In stitute and expectations are that 200 will respond. Thanksgiving at Eiks' Club.

Concordia Club Members Give a Thanksgiving Minstrel Show HOLIDAY revels wer the attraction at the Concordia Club last night The fun was fast and furious and took the form of a minstrel show. Local hits were numerous, and the large number of club members and their friends were high ly entertained. The club usually holds a stag affair on Thanksgiving eve, but the usual order was changed last night and women were privileged to attend. They enjoyed the quips of the minstrels hugely. The show was given under the direction of Lincoln Hart, and his experience In arranging such affairs stood the clubmen In good stead. Henry Metzger was man ager, J. W. H. Camp musical director, and Milton Kahn electrician. But the head, front and center of a minstrel show is of course the Interlocu tor, and this trying position was filled by Sanford Lowengart. Milton Kahn Leo Shaplrer, Henry Metiger and Adolph Jacobs were end men and they had a stock of jokes that brought many a laugh Others In the cast who helped no little in contributing to the jollity of the occasion were Adolph Solomon. Archie Goldsmith, Sanford Rosenfeld, Walter Rosenfeld. Felix Kahn, Sidney Solomon, Oscar Meyer. Herman Karsky, Julian Coblentz. Milton Schwartz and Milton Frledenrich. After the time-honored opening song, "My Old Kentucky Home," Interlocutor Lowengart opened the festivities by the following speech: "Ladies. Gentlemen and Gentiles: To me has been entrusted the honor of pre senting to you this wonderful array of extraordinary talent I might call It ef fectually hidden talent and yours is the task of finding It. On behalf of the per formers. I -wish to tell you that our ef forts are entirely spontaneous we are going to say just what comes to us on the spur of the moment after nightly prac tice for six months. Remember, though, having reason to know, we are not the only bad actors In the club. Send up S'our floral pieces: uniformed boys have been provided for the express purpose of quietly bringing up your garden pro ducts. Throwing is so hard on dress clothes. Girls, forget your hats and frocks, and you fellows just now get Into this game, where applause Is trump."

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE ENDS ATTENDANCE FOR CLOSING DAY BREAKS THE RECORD. Experiment of Holding Institute in Winter Instead of During Vaca tion Season Proves Success. The closing session of the Multnomah County Teachers' Institute was held yes terday afternoon at the East Side High School, with the largest attendance of any such gathering ever held In the state. In other years the Institute has been held in the Summer, when many teachers are away on their vacations. This year, however, the schools were given a vacation in the holiday season without cutting off the salaries of the teachers, in order to permit of their attendance upon the institute. Upon a vote of the general meeting yesterday morning. County Superlntend- R. , G. Boone, of Boston, Editor of Education," Who Hag Been At tending the Multn"mttli County Teachers' Institute. ent Robinson appointed a committee to draft resolutions. This committee was as follows: J. L. Gregg, principal of Hawthorne school; L. H. Morgan, of Chapman school; A. R. Draper, of Shat tuck school; S. U. Downs, of Williams avenue school, and Mrs. A. E Watlon, of Kerns school. Resolutions of thanks to Superintendent Robinson for the pro gramme, to the departmental Instruct ors, the orchestra and singers, the high school management, the Ladles' Aid So ciety of the Third Presbyterian Church, which served the luncheons, to the press, and to the street railway company for special arrangements to accommodate the teachers, were unanimously adopted. The teachers also gave voice to the opinion that Oregon owes unqualified moral and financial support to the state institutions of learning, and approved the action of the legislature at Its last session In mak- "We are Four Coons" was sung by the end men and chorus, and Henry Met zger sang "Let It Alone," Some of the jokes on their fellow clubmen were as follows: Interlocutor Who was the gentleman I saw you with yesterday? End man That was no gentleman, It was Julius Koshland. That reminds me. why Is Julius Koshland like Bluebeard? Interlocutor I do not know; why Is Julius Koshland like Bluebeard? End man Because he Is a lady-killer. W. F. LIpman and Fred Rothchild were the objects of a joke on their lack of hair. Mose Slehe! was called not a haber dasher bat a dapper hasher. A pun was sprung on Rabbi Jonah B. Wise because of the original Jonah's adventure with the whale. Max Flelschner's dog, it was said, can tell time, the reason, of course. Is that he Is a watch dog. Songs during the first part were, "Blow the Smoke Away," by A. Solomon": "He's a Cousin of Mine." by Mr. Jacobs; "I've Been Looking for a Girl Like You," Felix Kahn an Leo Shapirer. Some good stunts were put on In the olio. The great all-around athlete Henry Metzger, America's female impersonator, Sidney Solomon, Goldsmith and Shaplrer. German comedians, made pronounced hits, j A particularly good stunt was a spiritualistic seance In which Sanford Lowengart, billed as the Great Lowen garto, assisted by Professor Milton Kahn, gave some clever tests. Seated amid the usual spiritualistic effects, the medium said: "The rmme of AJ Wolff comes to me. He wants to know how to keep his horses from running away. Give his horses rat poison three times a day." The medium identified a number of play ing cards, Sam Bisslnger being called the ace of spades. Henry Metsger the pack of hearts. Albert Feldenhelmer the king of diamonds, Ed Lang the Joker. San ford Hirsch was advised that the only way he can beat the ponies Is by using a club. The Melllns Food twins, Ed Solomon and Simon Waldman, were ad vised to try massage with a steam roller three times dally in the effort to get thin. Jokes were sprung on Isom White and a host of others. After the conclusion of the olio, the guests enjoyed dancing until late and refreshments were served In the main dining-room of the club. : : " - ; " - I j Ing an appropriation for the State Uni versity. At the morning session R. G. Boone, a leading educator of the East, spoke on "Construction Work in the Grades." He said children should make their own toys, that all construction work in sclfool should grow out of the other les sons; that the child should be required to make nothing which does not grow out of his life, and that in rural dis tricts the construction work should be adapted to the time of year and natural resources at hand, while in the cities It should be along the line of art. Mr. Boone was followed by J. W. Redway, who spoke upon "The Place of Physical Geography In Grammar School Work." In his afternoon lecture Mr. Redway said that the greatest enemy of mankind Is he who Intercepts grain on Its way from the producer to the consumer. Speaking of sugar exports, he said the bonus of H cent a pound placed upon cane sugar exports from the United States, took the profit from the Spanish manufacturer of sugaT, and that as our sugar comes largely from Cuba, the manipulation of the market was one of the caufes leading up to the Spanish American war. J. H. Ackerman, Superintendent of Public Instruction, at Salem, followed Mr. Redway with an address on "Some Unsolved Problems." He said these In eluded the question of salary, the placing of teachers with leost training In rural districts and Inadequate supervision o teachers. The taxable property of t state, he said, should stand as a bulwark to the education of the pupil, and the state should have a pension system for those who have made teaching their life- work. Mr. Boone's afternoon address was upon "Literature In the Grades." He said the child ought to be able to read as well In the fourth grade as he ever will, and that literature should be made to appeal to the child. Grade work was conducted by teachers of the various schools of the county in language, numbers, geography, history and mathematics in high schools, the latter demonstration being In charge of MLss Caroline Barnes, of the West Side High School, and J. W. Huff, of the West Side High School. Mrs. A. A. Sanborn, supervisor of tew ing In the Portland schools, spoke on "Sewing a Practical Art." She said the facilities for instruction In this useful art In the city schools were very meager, its workrooms being small and dark. Horses Stolen While Owner Languishes Marlon R. Biggs, In Jail, Deprived of Property Without Chance to Catch Thief, Who Writes Saucy Letter. TO be In Jail and have your property stolen while you are not on hand to protect it, Is such a grim Joke that it leaves the victim little to be thankful for today; but to have the thief write a saucy letter advising that he Is off for Canada and bidding defiance to the In jured man, is the limit. Marion R. Biggs, who is serving ten months In the County Jail for conspiracy to defraud the Government of lands near Prinevllle, falls to appreciate the little pleasantry. He Is taking steps to appre hend the man who robbed him, but there is little hope of his being caught. L. Grlbbler is the humorous thief. He was engaged by Mr. Biggs as a caretaker for one of the latter's ranches near Prinevllle and was believed to be an exemplary and honest persons. Left to himself, however, with his employer in durance, he saw a good opportunity to make away with property entrusted to him and the temptation was too strong to be resisted. Grlbbler sold three work-horses be longing to Biggs. The value of each horse was between J150 and 1200. Then he disappeared. He wrote to another of Biggs' men. Harry Odell. saying he had sold the animals. "One has gone to California," he wrote, "and you will never see it again. Tlve other two are near Wasco. I would not tell you where they are. but I have a grudge against the man I sold them to and would like to see you get them back, so as to make him mad. "As for me. I am going up Into North ern Alberta and then some. You can't catch me. I haven't any liking for the penitentiary." Biggs Is wondering bow much of his property will be left by the time he gets out of Jail next March. ISSUE NEW PAPER MONEY Banks Put Out Asset Currency as Fast as Signed. New clearing-house asset currency Is being Issued by the local banks as fast as it Is delivered to them with the sig natures of the registrars. The task of signing the paper is a tedious one and the two registrars find they cannot turn out more than 2000 signed bills in j a day. Both men are threatened with I writers cramp as a result of 'their heroic efforts to swell the volume of cur rency. The clearing-house certificates of the old issue are still being relied upon to help out until the new money can be secured by. the banks In sufficient quan tity to meet the demands made for cur rency. The old paper will be retired as fast as possible. Conditions at all banks yere quiet yesterday and the holiday today will doubtless help conditions. Tug-of-War Tournament.

Herman, distinguished statesman and legislator of Portland, Oregon, who was recently on an East ern trie Is amonir those strongly in favor of I T. Cooper, In the discussion over Cooper and nls medicines, which has raged for the past year In cities visited by the young man on his edu cative campaigns, as he calls them. Cooper was explaining his new theories and medicines to Boston peo ple during the Oregonlan's visit to. that city, and in a recent interview Mr. Herman said: "My trip East accom plished more for me than I ever be lieved possible. It has actually been the means of restoring my health. While In Boston I heard a great deal about this man Cooper and his medi cines, and one morning I talked with a Boston banker who told me that he had been relieved by Cooper's medi cines after ten years' chronic dyspep sia. For the past twenty- years I have been a fearful sufferer with nervous dyspepsia. It has been so bad that it all but forced me to resign from the Legislature.

WELL AGAIN "I was feeling wretchedly" that morn ing, and I made up my mind to try the medicine. I had seen leading phy sicians without number both East and West. They had been? unable to help me In the least, and I no more be lieved this Cooper medicine could help me than it could bring a dead man back to life. I really don't know why I bought It. It was like a drowning man clutching at a straw,. "To make a long story short. It has been astonishingly successful In my case. Today I am enjoying a sound stomach and perfect health for the first time In twenty years. I can eat heartily without the slightest Incon venience afterward. I have a-fine appe tite, and sleep well. I am no longer moody and depressed, and my nervous ness has entirely disappeared. , "Any man who has chronic dyspep sia owes It to his family to try this medicine.'1 In all our experience as druggists, we have never seen anything to sur pass the famous.
