County Attorney Tincher is not oc-
cupying the county attorneys Office in
the court house but continues oficing
in his usual place of buslness-the Law
Office of Noble & Tincher. Before de.
cidingsto do so he talked the matter over
with the commissioners and the other
county officers and it seemed agreeable
all around. They decided that il
would be just as convenient and even
moreso, from the fact that there is
telephone connection between them and
they can reach HIM in his Office without
going out, whereas if he occupied the
Office in the court house there would be
no telephone correction. Il also saves
coal for one Office which in times like
these is quite an item. Everybody who
desires to see the county attorney
should remember that his Office is with
Noble & Tincner over Halls hardware

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, May 2O.-Liquidation became
urgent and prCcipitate in the stock mar
ket today, and gathered force progressive
ly up to the very close, which was furious
ly active and weak at about the lowest
No such scale of activity has been wit
messed in the stock market since the trad
ing following the Northern Securities de
cision. Wide inroads were made upon
values and the very general effect of the
selling forbids the supposition that 1t was
due entirely to attack by the bear party.
1t was not clear, in fact. what was the
cause of the markets weakness. The de-
cline has been so long sustained that a
conviction has gained force that very
large short interest had accumulated in
the market 1t was believed also that
prices had got down to a level that would
prove attractive to large waiting invest
nent demand when once some assurance
could be had that the decline had run its
course. The announcement of an engage
ment of 81, 300 600 of gold for export and
the news that i. II. Hartman had under
gone a surgical operation met the market
at the opening and initiated the declining
tendency. The enormous liquidation which
soon developed in AtchiSon was a marked
influence upon sentiment and continued to
dominate the market for the rest of the
day. RumorS were circulated OF 4 coming
bond issue by the Atchison, but no official
confirmation could be had on this subject
The opinion gained ground that a large
speculative interest i'll the stock was in
a vulnerable position and was being made
a target for attack. 1t will be remembered
tnat at various tunes the securing OF 4
control of Atchison by Rock Island was
discussed as an alternative proposition to
the taking over of the st. Louis & San
Francisco. 1t is thought that this taxi
caused a considerable speculative accumu.
lation in Atchison, The extreme decline
in the stock reached 81 which was equal
ed by st. Paul. Losses of to ) points
were fairly general amongst active stocks
and considerably exceeded that in casi
where dormant stocks were forced to sale.
a notable example of this was % poin,
drop in Michigan Central. This stock was
subsequently bid up again Is points before
an offering was encountered and a sale
made. Bear tactics We're perceptble in
the decline at the last, notably in the cir
culation of rumors that IS, 900. 900 to 81 900.
Geo in gold would go out on Saturday tc
Europe. The situation in the exchange
market, however. was strong factor n
the weakness of stocks. United States
bonds were all unchanged on the last call.
