the market revealed the same feverish- ness and uncertainty that characterized the situation yesterday. On the one hand heavy realizing sales were notice able and on the other hand the demand for cotton proved such as to prevent any thing like break in prices. Reports from the south, however, indicated a light let up in the demand for actual cotton and this added to the uncertainty in the future market. Sentiment was in- clined to a conservative view of the sit- uation, owing to the advance and the in- creasing movement.

After little further firmness on the call the market influenced by these later considerations annarentlv. in connection with expecta- tons for a heavier movement next week, eased off to about last nights prices and ruled rather quiet but steady around that level. trading being chiefly of profes- sional character.

FINDS STOLEN WATCHES.
Boy Makes a Valuable Discovery in a
Cornheld.

lola, Kan, Dec. 15.-Six of the eight
watches stolen on the night of Novem-
Der 10 from the front window of T. M.
Bartels' store, on North Washington,
were found in a corn field west of lola
by a son of Hal Hutton and returned to
their owner. The young man found
them scattered over the ground prob
ably by the thief in his flight, in good
condition save that one had a crystal
broken.
The thief was Walter Ratnf of Col
ony, who took an Overcoat from the
Globe dummy the same evening. He
tossed a brick though the Bartels' VIM
dow and lifted eight gold watches from
a case. He was found on a freight in
the Santa F'e yards and chased by Sher-
iff Richardson, who fired three times at
him. Ratliff dropped the overcoat and
got away and must have thrown away
the watches also farther along, hoping
they would be found and the pursuit
ended

RAMSEY IS NAMED.
TruaRcy officer Squabble at
Last Settled.

The county commissioners and County
Superintendent Wright finally compro-
missed the fight over the appointment of
a truancy officer for Shawnee county and
J. A. Ramsey was chosen for the posi-
ton.
Three months ago Wright nominated
George Bushong of Richland. Bushong
is Democrat. The commissioners refused
to elect him and delayed action on one
pretext and another. Then Ramsey got
into the race as a compromise candidate.
The commissioners announced that be-
cause he lives in Topeka that they
thought it doubtful if he was eligible.
The commissioners announced Monday
that the truancy officer question was
again postponed indefinitely The com
missioners reconsidered that action and
decided that If Wright would name Ram
sey they would confirm him. The matter
was left to Commissioner Harrison who
secured Wright's Endorsement of Ramsey
and settled the controversy. Ramsey was
at one time county superintendent of
Dickinson county. Since moving to To-
pelza he has been reading clerk of the
senate.
