They Want to Get instructions About
the Proceedings
George Spencer, king of the force, could
not be found at his Office yesterday. The
door was locked and on the floor were
several letters and few newspapers. It
was generally thought that he had gone
to Topeka, it being the thirty-ninth time
since he was appointed police commission
er about eight months ago. He has gone
to keep from being removed from his
little penny political job. Toler preceded
him on the night train and the two will
probably make it lively for the second
and last Populist governor. 1t is said on
good authority that the King and the
Second KurneI had wordy scrap at the
meeting on Friday afternoon and the
King declared himself. The governor
may be able to pacify them by firing
Jocelyn, or as a good many are prone to
think now, abolish the commissioners
and be done with them. They may get
home this morning and their political
fate can easily be learned by looking in
their faces. Though it may be possible
that they will have a mysterious air
wrapped about their disappointment. The
papers to GUST Toler if he is not removed
before, will probably be filed on Monday.

WHEAT FOR THE WEEK
Course IrreguIarIy Downward But
Net Loss Light.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-The course Of the
wheat market the past week has been
irregularly downward, quite pronounc-
ed weakness developing at times but
support was given the market at criti-
cal points and the net decline was not
heavy. Trading at no time was heavy.
The inactivity of the market is best
shown by the range of prices, which
was but cents, May fluctuating be-
tween 81 Use and SO 7-Sc. Yesterday S
closing price 90G90 1-Sc, shows decline
of l 3-401 7-Sc for the week. The mar
ket was weakened on Saturday by fail
ure of a predicted cold wave to mater
ialize. which caused considerable liqui-
dation by those who had bought on ex-
pectation of crop damage. Weakness OF
the foreign markets, coupled with an
almost stagnant condition OF trade, re-
suited Monday in 7-8c break. Part or
this was recovered on Tuesday on BUY
ing bv the Letter crowd, which started
q general covering movement by shorts,
h;;t for the rest of the week the trend
IF the market was downward. Extreme
weakness which developed at Liver
tool was partly responsible for the de-
cline. Indirectly also the gradually
increasing offerings of wheat from the
new Argentine crop cut quite a figure
as they apparently played an import
ant part in The declines in the foreign
market. The Letter interests gave the
market good support on Thursday
when the price got to GOO, but on Fri
