Notion.

the track all alone and topping over

Just how the thing happened is a
mystery but 1t is thought that q little

throttle was worked open, thus giving
the iron monster the opportunity Of
testing its running powers without the

Oddities In EnelisI.

Bribery" is word with curious
history. In the old Geneva Bible It is
said of the scribes and Pharisees that
they make clean the outer sides Of
the cup and of the platter, but within
they are full Of bribery" The author
lied version has "extortion," and there
is no doubt that by bribery" the Cen

probably meant morsel, a broken-off
piece, but 1t occurs first in old French.
signifying piece of bread given to a
.beggar. Hence the italian term "bri-
,ba" vagrancy, and the old French "bri.
beur." beggar or greedy devourer.
Bride" developed in two directions
in the senses Of robbery and of a pres

buck, he means not one that had been
corrupted, but one that had been stol-

SEN. HANSBR0UGH IS
IN GRAND FORKS
He Talks Entertainingly on
Local and National
Politics.

Senator Hansbrough arrived in the
city this morning from the east and
expects to remain in the state until the
reconvening Of congress in December.
Questioned as to his views in regard
to the political situation, the senator
said he was very much pleased with
the ticket nominated at jamestown and
he had no doubt whatever about its
election in November by a handsome
majority.

He also predicted that the republi-
cans would carry the next house Of
representatives by q majority almost,
if not quite, as large as the republican
majority in the present house. He
predicted the nomination of Mr.. Bryan
as the democratic candidate for presi-
dent in 1908, and when questioned as
to who the republican nominee would
be, he replied: 1T is somewhat early
to venture upon prediction in this
respect. yet have no doubt the re-
publican national convention will
choose wisely and that our party will
be victorious, because the people of
this country are not ready to trust the
democratic party with the handling of
government affairs, and for the further
reason that the prosperity and happi-
ness of our people are due largely to
the success of republican principles
throughout long series of years. As
to whether President Roosevelt will
be the candidate of the party 1t is
enough, 1 think, to say that should
the convention decide he is the strong
est man and the one whom the people
prefer there will be no difficulty about
his acceptance of the nomination. No
man has right to decline a nomina-
ton based upon a popular conviction
that he is the one above all others
who should be chosen as the party
leader"
Asked what he thought about the
workings of the primary law, the SEN
ator said that he was very we'll salts
fed with 1t and believed that the legis-
lature would make no mistake in ex-
tending it to all elective officers.
