TEsrEBDAY'S SqooK MARKET
Only Moderate Extension of the
 Rally of Tuesday

New York, Feb. 6.--There was only a
 moderate extension to-day of the rally
 in stocks which occurred yesterday,
 and the movement of prices then be- came extremely uncertain and sluggish.
 Dealings shrank to little more than
 nominal proportions, and the market seemed to be without any definite ini-
 tiative in either direction, The action
 of the market is proving very puzzling
 to practical observers, owing to it's va riation from the usual sequence. The
 buying demand lapsed into state of practical paralysis after he small gains of the early parS of the day. In spite of this lack of sustaining power in the recovery and the belief in the existence of an organized bear party in the speculation on the alert to take ad- vantage of favorable opportunities to force renewal of the fall of prices, the bears held warily aloof and made no aggressive demonstration. There was little in the days news to throw light on the movement of prices. Penn sylvania was prominent in the recovery on account of better feeling over the labor outlook in the matter of the dis pute with the trainmen
 The disfavor with which recent capi- tai increases have been received is at- tributed in no small part to this re- striction upon the ability of the rail- roads to regulate the rate of their in- come to the necessities of their expen- ditures. Theresumption of the reports of transactions in odd lots' on the tape revealed a sprinkling of orders for stocks in small parcels, which is sup posed to indicate the presence of in- vestment orders in the market, But this buying was not of material effect in holding prices. The existence of weak spots in the market was revealed from time to time, and this helped to keep sentiment unsettled.
 There was further selling of Great Northern preferred from the same sources as yesterday, and this was sup posed to be closing out of speculative, accounts in the stock, which were crip- pied by the long decline in the stock since the encouragement of various rights to stockholders. Acute weakness also developed in Missouri Pacific ow- ing to rumors in circulation of a com ing appeal for additional capital This decided reaction in prices and the last prices of the day were generally sllght- ly lower than last night.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales par value $1,754,000. se
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

A NEW ERA IN USING RIVERS.

A NEW ERA IN USING RIVERS.
 The time is fast coming when the United States will no longer be in part unkempt continent with wd( wastes and untamed streams. Dr. McGee's suggestion article in this magazine brings before the imagina- tion a day when our Middle West will be as well ordered as Germany or England. The curbing of the Mis- sissippi has had to wait upon our con- quest of the West, for a people must prospect the resources of their whole domain before turning to intensive work in any particular area. But now, that our productiveness has outstrip- ped even our railroads, the waterways will have new era of usefulness.
 Already work to enlarge the out grown Erie Canal from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic has begun When deep waterway from the lakes to the Gulf is opened by, equalization of the Mississippi, the Middle West will be enancipated from complete depend ence on the railroads. We shall have ''seaports" in the prairies, Chicago, St. Louis and other cities will have ocean trade routes with low charges, Our whole central area will have fa- cilities for development that will quickly bring crowded, bustlng, in- dustrial community not surpassed in the world
 It will be a colossal task, as Dr. Nc Gee shows, to bring the Father of Waters under control; but it will be a facinating and a worthy task The commissions of Middle Western busi- ness men that are now demanding of Congress the authorization of the work and appropriations to begin it. or even permission to undertake the enterprise privately-are in earnest. But it is not the interests of these men alone that will be affected by the waterway. It concerns the who le nation A greater growth in popula- tion and production within our own borders awaits us during this century
 perhaps during the first halfof it. than we have achieved during the proceeding centuries of our occupancy of the land. For we are just beginning to learn that our rivers have revolu- tionary values for power, for sanita- tion and for fertility, as well as for commerce.--World's Work,

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN
(By Leo Ranney.

kDs LSO RalLe.
 Nearly all the texe-bokos ordered at the beginning Of the year have arriy- cd and are now in Use by the pupils. Experience teaches US that the best way to preserve textbooks and ether supplies furnished by the public, is to rigidly impose fines for rough usage, hence table Of fines has been formulated. Non-payment of fines imposed, when approved by the principal, shall be sufficient cause for suspension.
 A satisfactory written excuse for the absence or tardiness Of any pupil is required from the parent on the day following such absence or tardiness.
 Parents and others are urged to vis- 1t the schools often. You will be well comed by the teachers, and the inter- est you take will greatly encourage the pupils.
 Often the idea prevails that pupils frequently study too hard for their physical well-being. This idea is, nine cases out Of ten, untenable: even in this one case the physical injury is usually to the eyes. Pupils do not break down in health from over study. bu. rather from lack of exercise. It is natural for boys and girls to exercise strenuously, even if it be but in play. Oppose nature and you invite trouble. Every boy and girl should have 2 daily period for exercise as well as 8 daily period for study. or for eating. Give them something 10 do. Physical exercise and study must balance each other; the body must be developed as well as the mind. Plenty Of exercise is absolutely necessary for every boy or girl. The fact that the home Of the Ketchikan schools is located on the summit Of 6 high hill may be 6 griey- ance to those whose youth is passed. but it is a priceless blessing to the children.
 Parents are especially urged to co- operate with the teachers in educat- ing the children to properly care for their bodies, and to prevent the spread Of disease. 4 few general rules Of gcea. importance may be mentioned ]: Pupils should sit or walk in an erect position; deep breathing with chest lifted high should be practiced often, especially morning and evening; the teeth should be washed al least once a day if pupils must drink from a public cup they should never touch their lips to the cup but should allow them 10 project over the edge; ex- treme care should be taken not to wipe the face on any soiled portion Of public towel: splitting in a public place is practice dangerous and il- thy: paper should always be spread over the contact surface of a public stool: public comb should never be Used the hands and finger nails should be kept clean, especially before eat ing. Failure to observe few sinpl rules of this kind may cause lie time of regret.

'vene Nov. Z. The cali provides for the
secure reasonable rates, prevent discrim-
nation, and prepare the proper means OF
securing obedience to the enactment; to
amend the act TO regulate railroads so as

transportation companies from refusing
admittance to trains to those who have
tried to buy tickets at the reduced rates
and have been denied them; to provide
a maximum charge; to amend the maxi
mum and other State laws to the extent
that they may be enforced: also to pro-
vide for testing reasonableness of their
rates and to provide rule of proceeding

MRS. CHADWICK DEAD.
Woman Who Startled Banking
World Expires I'm Prison.


World Expires I'm Prison.
Mrs. Cassie Chadwick. whose finan-
cial exploits at one time startled the
world, died in the women's ward of
the penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio,
Thursday night, unattended by any
save the prison physician and hospital
nurses. The decline in Mrs. Chadwick's
health began almost from the time she
entered the penitentiary on Jan. II,
1906, sentenced to ten years imprison-
ment. She fretted necessarily over her
confinement and worried about her
troubles until 1t became almost impos
sible for her to sleep. Her last illness
began three weeks ago. She was con-
fined to a cot in the hospital of the
women's ward from that time until her
death.
The financial exploits of Mrs Chad
wick startled the country in the fall of
1904, when they were brought into pub
licity by means of a receivership suit
brought by Herbert B. Newton, Of
Brookline Mass, who held some of the
spurious securities upon which she had
built up colossal credit. Exposure

National Bank of Oberlin, Ohio, which
lost heavily in the swindle, went to
