EX-SENATOR H"ANSBROUGH.

Casselton Reporter; Senator
Hansbrough, who has had the distin-
guished honor Of representing North
Dakota in the senate Of the United
States for twelve years, has again
been elected to that exalted position
the highest in the gift Of the state.
On Tuesday last the two branches Of
the legislature cast their ballots separ-
ately, Mr.. Hansbrough receiving
100 votes and Hon. Max Whipper-
man, of R%icfland, 20 votes. On
Wednesday the bodies met in joint
session and ratified the choice of the
previous day, Mr.. Hansbrough being
given 118 votes and MI. Whipperman
1S.
The result Of the election is con-
elusive proof that the people of the
state, through their accredited agents,
have confidence in Senator Hans
brough, and believe that his long ex-
perience, well earned standing at the
seat of government and superior abil-
ity all promise continued good repre-
! sentation in the senate. He has just
reason to be proud Of the easy vic
tory attained, and all will believe
that in the coming term he will give
his best efforts to make the influence
of our young and energetic state felt
| in the national council.

ment of prices had been long sustain
ed and was justified by the demand,
but this reation was fully due and
leaves the market in a much stronger
position. The movement of wheat
to market center is on a large scale
and exports for last week were only
fair, but nevertheless there was a
decrease of G72, 600 bushels in the Wis.
ible supply. Worlds shipments were
3, 69s, 600 bushels which is. mucn be-
low Europe's weekly requirements
and of this total the United States
furnished about two-thirds. For
eign markets have been very strong
and large sales for export have been
made daily. The cash dem and has
also been very strong and the price
Of spot wheat has advanced fully as
fast as the futures. The critical per-
iod for European winter wheat has
arrived and there are grave fears that
it WILDE injured in several European
countries. The critical period in the
United States will be here in about
five or six weeks. In California and
in India rain has fallen where it was
much needed. We think the princi
pal long has sold little if any wheat
and that with the strong bullish stu
alton he will be able to put the price
a good deal higher. We expect to see
those who sold their wheat today buy
ing it back oon at higher prices.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

Jan. 81: The wheat market last
week. was a very broad and a ctive
one and prices at the close of the
week were near the highest which
had then been reached. Monday
morning the market opened up very
strong and advanced to 70 to 1915
cents for May which is the high
point so far. Since then there has
been a very thorough reaction which
has put the price of May wheat down
to 1878 cents. The upward move.

THE CONSCIENCE MAN.

The Conscience Man who lives with me
I hear and feel, but cannot see.
He lives with me both day and night.
He's never wrong. but always right.
He has his house within my breast,
And guards and warns me without rest:
And though an endless watch he keeps,
He never tires and never sleeps.
Sometimes mournful song he sings,
Which to my heart deep sorrow brings:
And when hear his sad, sad song.
know he's right and am wrong.
And when I seem to be alone,
And think the Conscience Man has flown,
listen, and hear: "Beware!'
And know the Conscience Man is there.
I'm sure that he is always good,
AND tells me all the things he should,
And grieves to see ne come to shame,
And sorrows when I am to blame.
And all my life he pleads and prays
For me to keep from evil ways;
And I believe that no one can
Be good without the Conscience Man.

the craze has become intensified in mod

of children. At the close of each school
year, a chess-examination or tourney is
held under the supervision of the school
and town authorities, and six prizes are
awarded to the best players-three to
boys and three to girls. The prizes are

THE LONGEST WORDS.
Greek Lexicon Contains One OF III
Letters Which, Translated,
Means "Hash."

We have recently read with interest a
discussion running through the papers
regarding the longest words. The two
words which seem to have been guilty u
starting the discussion are "incircum-
scriptibleness' and "honorificabilitud.
unity" each having % letters. These
were soon placed in obscurity by the dis"
covery of the word "antidisestablish.
mentarians"-26 letters. Another seek
er after long words rang the changes on
the last-named word, and made it anti
disestablishmentarianism"-28lett letters
and this seems to be the longest English
word yet unearthed. However, someone
reported the Welsh word: 'Llanfair-

iogoggogoch." This is said to be the
name of Welsh village, al
though how anyone can ask their
way there passes our compre-
hension. But according to another

with the Greek word of 172 letters, to be
found in the unabridged Greek lexicon:

CIDER VINEGAR.
The Only Kind That II Pure and Al
solutely Safe for House,
hold Use.

Old-fashioned cider vinegar that used
to be made from hard cider. A long row
of cider barrels, in well-ventilated Gel
lar.
First, the cider is sweet, very palatable
and much used as beverage by farmers,
and is even sold in some saloons.
Afterwards, the cider becomes hard.
In olden times it was still used as bev-
erage by the New Englander, who was
perfectly innocent of any suspicion that
it was an intoxicating beverage The
next change which happened to the cider
was when it turned into vinegar. This
was the sort of vingar our forefathers
used. This is the only vinegar that is
absolutely safe to use, says Medical Talk
for the Home.
The present method Of making spirit
vinegar has great many liabilities. A
low proof solution of alcohol is passed
over beech shavings or birch twigs that
have been soaked in the mother of vim
egar or vinegar essence. This very
quickly converts the alcohol into vine
gar. Sometimes sulphuric acid is add
ed, and even hydrochloric acid.
The addition Of any acid renders tho
vinegar very liable to dissolve any metal
with which it comes in contact, copper,
tin, brass, bismuth, mercury or zinc.
Vinegar that contains the slightest trace
of any one of these minerals is apt to
be the cause of slow poison, sometimes
fatal poison.
The only safe vinegar to use is the
old-fashioned vinegar. In order to be
quite sure that it is genuine it should
be procured, if possible, direct from the
farmer who makes the cider and allows
It to sour. During the past temperance
crusades great Encouragement was
raised against the manufacture of cider
by farmers Cider was under the ban of
the temperance classes because of its
supposed damage to the good morals
Of the people. This has resulted in a
great falling of in the product of vine
gar by the farmers, and has encouraged
the manufacture of cheap and artificial
vinegars, which are very deletertous,
and sometimes absolutely poisonous.

The village Of Stroebeck in Prussian

local prince bishop in 1O11, whiled away
the hours of his captivity with the aid Of
q set of chessmen carved by himself, and
taught the game to the numerous peas
ants who served as his successive jail
ers, and who, in turn, impaired their
knowledge to the other villagers. The

The highest men in our nation have
