living, in St.sPaul this winter and
serving as engrossing clerk in the
house Of representatives of the state

of the bill which Representative
Opsahl has introduced, which re-
moves the projections heretofore ac-
corded female moose and permits
the killing of one moose, either COW
or bull, during open season for kill
ing big game.
1t is said that Carlos Avery, execu-

come law it would be responsible
for great destruction among the

Mr.. Miller is heartily in favor Of
the moose bill" introduced by Mr.
Opsahl and gives his reasons as
follows:
I favor legalizing the killing Of
one moose, without regard to sex,
for reasons which I believe are good,
ones.
I have been a hunter all my
life; and during the past twenty
years have lived in a country where
moose are found.
! have made many hard trips in
quest Of moose, and have had my
share of success in securing the
big fellows One thing which has
impressed me greatly is the fact

{gheny county, N. c., May 19, 1869.
When 3 years of age his parents
moved to Lawrence county, KY,
where they lived until the fall 4 Of
1879, at which time they came to
Minnesota and settled in Wright
county. $$$%$$ EiS,s
His parents were poor in this
worlds goods, and not, being finan-
;eially able to send their children to
school,, Mr.. Richie, the fourteenth
of fifteen children. grew up without
even a common school education,
until he was II years of age. Being
enthused with a desire for higher
education, he set about to secure it.
Burning midnight oil" and without
a teacher, he could be found ponder
ing over problems which would have
discouraged many who were less
determined. At the age of FL he
chose teaching as profession, and
at the age of 20 was appointed
assistant county superintendent of
schools for Wright county, and was
re:appointed the next season. -
Since he entered his chosen pro-
fession, Mr.. Richie has given his
entire time to educational work. He
has held frst-grade professional
state certificate for the past eleven
years, which entities him to hold
any position in any public school in
this state. with ~
, This is his fifth year as super
intendent Of the Bemidji city schools
during which time the schools have
made marked sadvancement, having
developed from struggling high
school of an enrolment of twelve to
a strong high school of about one
hundred, fourteen of whom will grad.
uate next spring.
marked advancement in
the Bemidji schools is seen in the
number of boys that are now found
in the upper grades and high school,.
They are now nearly equal to the
number of girls, while four years
ago the ratio was about one boy to
eight or ten girls.
The percentage of attendance and
general interest in the work have
also increased in corresponding ratio.
The board of education has shown
its appreciation of Mr.. Ritchie's
splendid work by Rejecting him
superintendent for another year, at
an increased salary of $1,000.
Mr.. Richie has not formally
accepted the position but he stated
to a representative of the Pioneer
this afternoonthat it is his present
intention to accept the offer Of the
board. -

Chaotic Condition Of Steel Trade
Throws Market Into Confusion.
PRICES ARE GENERALLY OVER
Minor Steel stocks Are DemoraIised
ana Issues of Big Corpora
tIon show Decided
slump.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O-The steel trade
position was the one subject OF discussion
IN the stock market today. The choatic con-
clifton into which the steel trade has been
thrown by the announced determination of
the United States Steel corporation to
modify prices in such wise as il necessary
TO secure business is fully equalled by the
confusion of speculative opinion as to the
rises to be apprehended from this action.
There was evidence in the current comment
IN the stock market of equal confusion
over the motives which prompted the action
OF the steel interests.
Tho excited speculative element was in
elined to search for secret springs Of ac-
ton on the part of vast capitalistic groups.
Irresistible pressure from a financial group
devoted to railroad ownership and conseruo-
ton for lower prices for material was one
explanation advanced. Railroad stocks,
in fact, were relatively little affected by
the Generalization IN the steel industrials
and there was an effort to read only ad-
vantage for the railroads in the meeting
OF an open market for steel products.
Some minor steel companies stocks were
much demoralized and slumped violently.
The fall In United States Steel was more
restrained, influenced by the worldwide
participation in the market for that stock.
The flood OF liquidation in United States
Steel was constant, however, and its last
price of 46 was the lowest Of the day. The
break in Colorado Fuel reached over I
points, Republic Steel preferred 6 and the
common more than 4 points. Pennsylvania
suffered a decline of Sh points in accord
ance with the large proportion of its traffic
which Is made up of steel and steel
products. Outside OF this and leading z
point decline the loss In the railroad list
was moderate and at times during the
short session there were points of strength
In that department.
The bank statement disclosed the
strengthening of the banking position
which has been effected during the week.
Discounts hardened today in London. There
was at the same time very heavy selling
OF stocks IN New York today for foreign
was seen in a further wide advance In
foreign exchange rates, sufficient to revive
discussion of possible gold exports from
here to London.

OMAHA, Feb. 70, lA9.
Higher cables followed the bulge yester-
day and gave strength to the opening mar
ket. The demand from all quarters con-
tinues good and while there are signs of a
weakening market the situation still looks
strong enough to hold value close to the
present level.
With improved weather conditions corn
weakened with wheat. Receipts continue
heavy and with better roads the country
deliveries are expected to Increase.
Wheat was strong to higher on a strong
cash situation, large cash wheat sales being
reported at fancy prices. Reports OF I'M
proved weather outlook weakened the dis
tant futures, but on the whole the situa-
ton is unchanged and all advances are
being well supported and sustained. May
wheat opened at s1.OS1s and closed at N.lOSA.
Corn weakened with wheat and reports OF
larger acceptances and increased country
offerings. The cash market was lower and
the demand was not as active after the
early offerings were absorbed. May corn
opened at 6O&c and closed at 60%c.
Primary wheat receipts were bIA,O0o

OF 25. 600 bushels.
Corn receipts were $4,000 bushels, against
receipts last year of $4,000 bushels.
Clearances were 661,0O0 bushels OF corn,
