The Martin County Sentinel says
that Mr.. w. Teeter, of Fairmont town.
ship, reports singular phenomenon.
On Tuesday of last week, while in the
field stacking grain, smoke was sud.
denly noticed to ascend from shock
Of oats q considerable distance from
the wagon. All hands Immediately
started in the direction of the incipient
conAagration but before it could be
reached the shock of oats was entirely
deluged in flames. How the fire started
is beyond The comprehension Of Mr..
Teeter as the shock was on a knoll, and
no person was near it. The daysit oc-
cured was one of the hottest of the
year and there does not seem to be any
reasonable theory except that Of spon-
taneous ignition. ~

An estimate of the chances of the
several candidates for Governor on the
Republican ticket, as made by North
ern Minnesota politician, gives the fol-
lowing per cent: Gilman, 81; McGill,
70; Gibbs, 60; Barrett, Is; doubtful,
1913. Ramsey and Hennepin counties
represent 68 of the doubtful, and these
the arithmetician thinks, will scatter
considerably-many of them going to
McGill. Summing it all up, he inclines
to the belief that Gillman's chances are
just tritle ahead. Of course this is a
mere matter of guess-work.

Hon. Samuel ]. Tilden, the Sage of
Grammercy Park, died peacefully at
Greystone at 8:45 o'clock a. m. last
Wednesday. His death was entirely
unexpected, and was caused by failure
of the heart following an acute attack
of diarrhea and nausea. Mr.. Tilden
was one of the greatest generals the
Democratic party ever had, and even in
his old age he was regarded as
one of the shrewdest political
managers in the country. He
reached the advanced age of 70 years,
5 months and 81 days.

Mexico has a standing army of 49,.
900 men, and in the event of a war
with foreign country could easily put
into the field and equip 100000 men.
It will be seen that war with Mexico
would not be such a picnic as the
United States had in 1889, when Gen.
Scott marched to the Mexican capitol
and took possession of it with $4,000
men.
