Spontaneous Combustion.

As it is known that spontaneous com bustion sometimes takes place in car goes of coal, it has been suggested that under certain conditions enormous coal-felds may ignite and in time pro- duce volcanoes. Occasional and violent eruptions may be caused by the burn ing away of barriers and the inflow of water suddenly producing an enor- nous bulk of steam. which must find an outlet The idea that clean cotton may take fire spontaneously is secuted by many experts. They claim that what is called by this name is the re- suit of some spark that may smolder unobserved for weeks and then may break out in some unsuspected fashion. Tobacco, linen, jute and oily cotton, however, infame spontaneously on what would seem, to a scientific mind, insufficient provocation.

The Sole Object of a Minnesota Couple at
 the Worlds Fair.
 At the worlds fair it was amusing to note the diversity of objects which vis- itors found the most interesting. One young woman, who was busy writing in her notebook in the agricultural building, hurriedly ran over to table and pushed to the front with so much zeal that the bystanders supposed she had forgotten her purse or something else equally important; but having scanned the table eagerly, she merely said: 70, yes, sugar beets," and ran away again to sheltered place to write it down.
 Another instance was that of an old couple, weary-looking and bundle laden, who asked guard where the Minnesota building could be found. He indicated the direction.
 ''Is it fur?" asked the man.
 ''Yes, about half mile from here.'
 70 dear! Well, come, Mary, we'll put her through now we're here," said the old man, shouldering his heavy bundle
 But the woman was more garrulous. She detained the guard long enough to explain that they lived in Minnesota twelve years and then moved to Ohio. Now they were going back to Mime sota
 i've was goin' through Chicago, so we jest stopped off two hours to see foi c. r. anyway; all we want to see is the Min nesota buildin', and we are bound to see that, if it takes half day!'

NEBRASKA farmers have another of
their taken from them by the
new tariff. Under the Mckinley law,
beet sugar factories were going up over
the state. Under the operations of the
old tariff law, factories were slowly but
surely gaining the confidence of the
farmers of Nebraska. They were paying
SIS a ton for beets, and at this figure
farmers were raising beets at a liberal
profit. They were beginning to become
over beet culture. As a
proof of this assertion, it may be said
that the first year they commenced OPP
e%rations at Norfolk the farmers raised
but 200 acres of beets. Last year they
raised 800 acres, while this year they
have a crop of 1900 acres. Farmers
were getting SIS a ton for beets, and were
raising them at a liberal profit. Under
the new law, however, the price will be
cut to 81, and even then the industry will
suffer. As an example of what the in
dustry amounted to under the old law
it may be stated that last year one con
Germ paid out $1,000 for wages and $780,
600 for beets to farmers in the vicinity
Of Norfolk. That was only one of the
results of the ubiquitous Mckinley law"

The national irrigation congress is in
session at Denver, and representatives
from all over the country are present to
discuss and devise means for remedying
the arldity Of certain lands. Governor
Shortrldge expected to be present, but
was prevented from attendance by other
business, and DR.. Merchant Of Dickey
county is to look after North Dakota's
interest. The work of the congress is q
matter of deep interest to North Dako-
There are many parts Of the state
where irrigation would work wonders
and bring about an era Of prosperity
where conditions have heretofore been
only mediocre. If a good crop were as.
sured in all parts of the state each year.
there would be none of the discourae-
ing conditions which arise from crop
failures. North Dakota needs to keep
a watchful eye of developments in the
matter of irrigation, and take advantage
of some feasible plan, if only for a test.

the testimony of the witnesses, which

fearlessly solicited. Some valuable rec

IT will be interesting to watch the
volume of trade, and the rate of wages
for labor, as compared with the period
following the enactment of the Mckinley
law. The latter period was followed by
a rush of business of dimensions never
before experienced, and by an increase Of
wages among all classes of workmen,
which continued up to the time of demo-
cratic aecendency. Since that time,
wages and business have fuctuated on
a declining scale, and industrial condi-
tions have grown steadily worse. OF
course, the enactment of a tariff law
providing for a definite basis for the
conducting of business operations can
not do other than bring about a better
ment of the present conditions. But
this is not an argument in favor of the
wisdom of the present law. Any de-
finite settlement of the disputed tariff,
no matter how unwise, would be better
than the uncertainty which has almost
suspended operations. The Wilson bill
must bring about a return to an equally
prosperous era as that of 1890-92 or it
will have to be admitted that the first
effort at tariff reform is a failure. The
nation has the same resources, the same
skill for utilizing them, as in 1892. Will
the Wilson law, with these same condi-
tions, usher in another era of equal
prosperity? 1t will be interesting to
the result.

PRIOR to the present awful calamities
in Minnesota the most destructive forest
fires in the history of the country, so far,
at least, as loss of human life is con-
cerned, we're those which swept over
Wisconsin and Michigan in October,
1871, the month of the great fire in
Chicago. More than two thousand per-
sons persisted in the flames, and immense
damage to property resulted from the
widespread CONGREGATIONS. The fires
burst forth in a hundred widely separ-
ated places at the same time. The
northern part of Wisconsin and the
western and central parts of Michigan
formed what has ever since been known
as the "burned district" although many
scattered fires ravaged the country out
side of these regions. The woodland
burned over consisted of vast stretches
of pine and hemlock, dotted with lum-
boring camps and cleared settlements.
Relief funds we're promptly started in
the east, and large sums were forwarded
for the care of the sufferers. Again, in
September, 1881, the long-contlnued
drouth in Michigan resulted in furious
forest fires, principally in Huron and
Sanllac counties, in which about 300
people lost their lives, while $4,000 were
left homeless and helpless, save for the
aid which quickly poured in upon them
from the relief committees of the various
cities Of the country.

Col. w. F. Copy, the suave and pol
ished Bill Of Buffalo fame, seems to be
making just rs many friends among the
descendants of old Father Knicker-
booker, as he has made both among the
English nobility and among the visitors
at the Worlds Fair. IT takes the wild,
wild cowboy, the untamed redman, the
long haired scout, and the deadshot in
buckskin to catch the effete, eastern eye.
The New York Tribune, as we'll as the
other journals of the metropolis, speaks
we'll of Bill. A most interesting feature
of the show, says the Tribune, is the
Cowboy Fun so called by these expert
riders, which consists in the picking up
OF objects from theground while mounted
on bronchos, lassoing horses, bufaloes,
etc., and mastering the unruly sbuckers,'
who jump, kick and roll in their vain at
tempts to throw the cowboys aetride
them. The group of Arabs in the native
sports and pastimes, the attack on the
Deadwood coach by Indians, the pony
express, the horse race, the unique feats
IN sharpshooting Of Buffalo Bill the
wonderful craftsmanship Of Johnnie
Baker, the celebrated shot, Miss Annie
Oakley; the historical picture of the
death of General Custer, and the num-
erous interesting and instructive feat
ures well deserve the great applause and
admiration with which they are receiv-
ed. And it is safe to say that never has
there been an entertainment that has
suited the amusement-lov1ng public OF
New York and It's environs so we'll as
has Buffalo Bills Wild West.
