UNDERTAKING PHONOGRAPHS SEWING MACHINES LINTON, NORTH DAKOTA. 24TH YEAR: NUMBEB 4» LINTON, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, FF.UHl.VHY 1908. $ \fi} At the Linton State Bank. AROUND THE STATE. The young ladies of Ryder have or ganized a. "Himlesa Club." The Ananioose bachelors are adver tising for wives in the east. Farmers over the state have been making a good thing of baled hay. It was so warm at Grand Forks the other day that the kids ran barefoot ed. Hansbrough and Marshall are both in the state to look after the senator ial tight. Excavations are being made for new buildings in the burned district at Oakes. At Wahpeton a bird's nest was found with an egg and a young bird ling therein. A small pox patient at Forman gained thirteen pounds while he was under quarantine. Nine horses belonging to Uurleigh county farmers were condemned be cause of glanders. llowbells has a coal mine right in town. Possible train blockades have no terrors for that town. Despite the warm weather, there have been some cold days for the in surgent slate-makers. —Forum. Different towns in the state are giv ing balls and entertainments to raise funds for the base ball teams. The decision of Secretary of State Blaisdell to seek a re-election is get ting him a lot of kindly press notices. .Mnriuartli, the new Billings county town, is located on what was former ly "Dead Man's Gulch." How times change. Some professional men fail to ad vertise and often lose jobs that would pay for five years' advertising. —Forum. Representative L'eland is continu ing his missionary work over the state in the interest of the intiative and referendum. Senator McCumber is continuing bis splendid fight for national grain inspection, and hopes to educate the people up to his idea. Alex McKenzie gives Mayor Man ning, of Dickinson, credit for estab lishing the fact that corn would grow in North Dakota—years ago—near Bismarck. The Dickinson Press is pleased with the large number of subscribers on the list with their credits in the 1909 column, and thinks the numerous nines look good. Ed. Long, a farmer near Surrey, Ward county, makes his milch cows pay him an average of $S1.2:t per year. He uses a separator and sells the cream at Minot. In addition to some factional dif ferences In the republican party, the democrats are accused of feeling split up over the question of going it alone or fusing with the insurgents. A man must have an elastic politi cal conscience to participate in the deliberations of a party organization —then—because he is defeated—vote for the opposition party.—Forum. A number of the farmers near New Rockford were out in the fields drag ging recently. The soil worked up fine, and they will be just that much ahead when they get to putting in the seed. The unanimity with which the pa pers of the western part of the state support Colonel Little for the U. S. senate shows how that gentleman stands at home—where he is best known.—Forum. It is claimed that some of the men who attended the insurgent meeting at (Jrand Forks became disgusted with the methods and are now affil iated with the stalwarts—some of the McLean county statesmen being in the list. The editor and the hotel-keeper at Grano are not on speaking terms since the former in writing up a .shooting accident stated that "the patient, is resting as easily as could be expected at the Arlington hotel in this city." The worst trouble about the insurg ent movement is the difficulty one sorehead finds in boosting another. If the campaign could be won on Knocking tactics, the entire insurgent slate would go in with a per cent vote.--Forum. George Fryatt. of Devils Lake, has twice been married to Miss Julia Judd. The first marriage occurred a dozen years ago. Recently they were in the Isle of Pines, and Mr. Frvatt, wishing to transfer some property to his wife, and being unable within a brief period to establish the relation ship. they were remarried. .Jamestown Alert: It has been a good many years since railroad busi ness, both local and through, has been as light as at present on the Northern Pacific. Old engineers have gone to firing, old conductors to breaking, and the men are taking va cations they have not had time to take before. This mild weather has cut down the shipments of fuel, the grain is about all shipped out. which usually made busiuess at this season of the year, and there is no lumber cominjt east from the Pacific coast. These three items all cut down at once show something of the reasons for the cut of expenses by the com pany. Then, the absence of snow that gave many men employment, last winter has added to the bunch of reasons for the business slump on the railroads this winter. It is estimated that only about ift per cent of the grain of last year's crop remains to be shipped out of the state, and the shipment of that will be so gradual that no increase in traffic on the road will be noticed from grain business until another crop is ready. BRADDOCK BREVITIES. U'loiu the News. Jan. «J. S. F. Wright, of ilazelton, was a Braddock guest Friday night last. He was returning from Dawson, where ho purchased a pair of horses for his livery. Traveling men who make this point are unanimous in their decision that considering the size of the town, Braddock is the busiest point visited by them. .1. M. Wirth offers his butcher busi ness, including building, five town lots and a quarter section of land bordering on the townsite, for sale at a bargain. Joe is compelled to seek a warm, dry climate on account of rheumatism, and will perhaps lo cate in Phcenex, Arizona. Braddock is reasonably certain of securing the first Emmons county rural route. This week the local post master received instructions to start No. l, or the south route on April 1. The mail leaves the office Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 7::JO a. m., and returns at 2:15 p. in. House holders along the route should meet as soon as possible and make arrange ments with one of their number or with a dealer to order the boxes. Arrangements for the northern route are progressing as favorably as can be expected, and it is just possible that it can be opened on the same date. If possible it will be arrauged so that one man can take both con tracts. The pay tm both routes will be about .*"• per month. Friday of last week the Bank of Lehr DeLaney Fredreksen cattle seizing case, that has frequently been mentioned in these a coluinns of late, was settled or adjusted in district court at Bismarck. Sheriff JOnes and Deputy Shepard were represented by Attorney Register of Bismarck, the bank by Clyde of Ashley, and De Laney by Murphy of Napoleon. Aft er the principals had told their sto ries and the lawyers earned their fees. Judge Winchester decided that Jones and Shepard should be paid the act ual cost of feeding and caring for the eighty-six head of stock and fixed tlie price at .Sio.r-o per day. HP also gave the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank of Lehr a judgment against. Frederick son in the-sum of $l,4M$.-l:!. In anoth er column the hank advertises the stock for sale under execution. HAZELTON HAPPENINGS. 1I'rom tin lU-publicuii. Jan. I Win. Baker, Menoken, accompanied by his daughter Delia and his son Glen, visited the family of John Ba ker several days this week. Miss Over has been detained at Linton on account of the illness of her mother, and Miss Anna Geil has had charge of the primary depart ment of the Ilazelton school this week. Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Kurtz will leave next week for Delmont, S. D., for a visit with the family of J. B. Baker. From there S. E. will take a trip east, spending some time at Cleve land. Ohio. In a letter from Peter Kiapprich. at Cottonwood, Idaho, he reports a ujild and beautiful winter out there, the family in good health, and all wish to be remembered to Emmons county friends. At o'clock this morning little Hazel Uop had occasion to light a lamp, and in striking a match spark (lew off and ignited a curtain in the window and thence spread to the wall paper before it was put out by Joe Smith, who had rushed to the girl's assistance. Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Shepard and little sou were visitors at Bismarck a couple of days last week, the guests of Grandpa and Grandma Kalberer. While there they completed arrange ments for the rental of the Kalberer farm, just west of town, and will oc cupy the same about April first. Some time ago it was rumored that the N. P. would change its time on this branch, and that the train would arrive from the north at 1:13. Its ar rival of late has been anywhere from 3 to 10 o'clock p. m., and plenty of complaint is heard, not only about •s»v. the passenger service, but also the mail service. 1.. H. Briggle made a sale this week which shows that interest in real estate around Ilazelton is not lacking, despite the financial flurry of some weeks ago. He sold to Jacob Brunnieier the half-section north of Ilazelton owned by ,\. Goehring for per acre. Mr. Hrunmeier recent ly disposed of a quarter-section east of l.inton. and re invests up here. Mr. (ioehring bought this tract two years ago for $11 per ac re and is not com plaining about poor investments. Me also owns a half-section east of town, which he will now improve and up on whiih he will hereafter reside. THE WORD "QUACK." Its Origin Traced Back to the Sixteenth Century. The original and acquired meanings of many an oUI word have lieon clear ed up in the law courts. When "quack"' had its turn, sir Edward Clarke, who was probably quoting a dictionary, de fined the word as "a boastful pretend er to medical skill." Quack'' is un doubtedly derived by suggestion from the qua Uing of a duck. The quack doctor has always substituted volu bility for knowledge, "ijtmcker" and "quacking cheat"' ere sixteenth cen tury words. "juaek" In its present fens*- is certainly as old as 1t8W, when It was included In the earliest, of our tlang dictionaries The original word was "quacksalver," a traveling empiric who quacked about Ids salves, and, according to Henley and Farmer, the dramatist Wycherly tirst shortened this word ti "quaek." The full term, quack doctor. Is found at least as early as 1"lo, when these words were used as a title to the Karl of Rochester's mountebank speech oil Tower hill. This witty and profligate nobleman the Is always called witty and profligate) took it into his head to disappear from his friends anil appear to the mob on Tower hill as a quack doctor. The speech he made on that occasion has been preserred, aud It shows that quack oratory has gained nothing since. It is not all printable In these polite pages, but the following passage will fthow its character: "The cures 1 have done are as In credible us Innumerable. I cured PrestCT John'-! godmother of a stuiendoua dolor In her os sacrum, which had like to cost the good lady the perdition of her buckle bone. I cur'd the Empress of Roolmapo of a cramp she got In hei tongue by eating pork and butter'tf parsnips. I cur'd an alderman of Grand Cairo of a scarlet, burning, rag tng fever, of which he dy'd. I cur'd the Kmpcrnr of Morocco, who lay sev en years sick of Hie plague. I enr'd him in forty-two minutes so that he dane'd tli'.- scrabrand. fllpflap and Som erset to the admiration of his whole court. For my pains he presented me with I ,HNI Hungarian ducats and a Turkish cymeter. Vcrbuui sat saplentl. No cure, no money." I doubt very much whether Sir Ed-, ward "larke was right In saying that the word "quack" was revived by Carl .vie at'ter it had died out. So use ful a word Is not likely to have been dropped, though In Carlyle's vocabu lary of denunciation it certainly took on a new importance, it was from a court of law, by the way, that Carlyle obtained tin? word "gig," which, with ferocious glee, he never ceased to use as a symbol of smug respectability. The I rial of Thurlell at Hertford as sizes for the murder of Mr. Wenre pro duced the following dialogue: "What sort of person was Mr. WeareV" "He was always ti 'most res[ectable person." "What do you mean by respectable?" "He kept a gig." Carl.vle'si sardonic humor seized on this, and ever after when he was utoriniug at respectabilities and unreal ities "gigs" were not far from Ills mind, lie even applied the word "gig manit.v" to those classes of society which held the "gig" Ideal.—John O'T.ondon in London Tatler.
