BEET SUGAR.
A Factory to Establish 1t and a
Bounty Recommended.

A Factory to Establish 1t and a
Bounty Recommended.
The joint committee on beet sugar
held meeting last evening in the SEN
ate chamber. Senator Lienau presided
and read paper showing the great sue
cess of beet sugar grown in other
states. Statistics from the Washington
department showed that beets from
thirty-eight counties in Minnesota re-
suited in an analysis OF flom 16 to IS
per cent-a very high standard. Mr..
Lienau advised the teaching of raising
beets for sugar at the experimental
farm, and of the building of factory at
that place during the coming spring
and winter, and thought that a $4,000
appropriation be made to carry out his
plans. Prof. Harvard, of the expert
mental farm, considered Minnesota beet
was favorable for making sugar, per-
haps as favorable as any country. and
the cost of making sugar here would be
less than in Germany. He did not fall
into the scheme to establish factory at
the experimental station. A successful
and economical factory would cost over
10000. but factory for kindergarten
purposes might be erected for $4,000 to
S50,0O0.
Prof. Hayes, of the experimental sta
ton, said the soil of Minnesota was eX-
cellent for the cultivation OF beets for
sugar. He urged the encouragement of
its cultivation by giving bounty to the
cultivatOrS.
Messrs. K. A. Walsh, j. b. Hompe, G.
G. Andrews, f. A. Day and others spoke
upon the desirabiIity of commencing
the manufacture of beet sugar in the
state.
1t was decided to recommend the es-
tablishment of factory at the expert
mental station, and the granting of
bounty of SO cents per ton for all beets
grown in the state supplied the factory.

FARGO. n. D., Feb. 4.-The anxiously
awaited decision of the state supreme
court on the right to handle liquors done
up in original packages was handed
down this afternoon. The lower court
had held it was not unlawful for nom
resident importer to keep place of
business in this state where intOXicat-
Ing. liquors are stored and kept for sale
and sold. provided that the liquor thus
stored and sold is in original and un-
broken packages in which it came, and
ordered the case dismissed. The text of
the decision is as follows: "a majority
OF this court is of opinion that both the
Wilson law and prohibitory law of this
state are valid enactments, and that
the final arbitrator of the question, the
supreme court of the United States. will
rule at day not far distant, and we are
unanimous in viewing this case as one
in which the subordinate courts should
give the benefit of the doubt, if any,
in favor of the cOnStituJlonality of the
law in question. We hold that
the Wilson law is valid enactment. is
not delegation, but an eXertion of the
legislative power of congress, for such
legislation only indicates time and
event which determine when intOXi-
eating liquor ceases to be an article of
interstate commerce, and becomes
mingled with the mass of property in the
state, and thereby subject to local control
We hold that the prohIbitory law of the
state as originally passed could not have
been enforced against any imported
liquor while the same remained within
the protection of federal authority, and
that in this respect the law continues
unchanged. 1t cannot now be enforced
against any imported liquor which has
not passed beyond federal protection on
crossing the boundary line of the state.
Supreme authority has declared that in
terstate liquor ceases to be an object of
federal protection and becomes min
gled with the mass of property within
the state, and, in common with all such
property, is subject to local police regn-
Iations. Judgment of court below in
dlsmissing the action must be reversed
and new trial granted" About the
only change this decision will make in
this city will be to transfer the liquor
from saloons, which are now wide open,
to club rooms

BISMARCK, N. D.. Feb. 4. The draw

tcmplated, the members from the odd
numbered districts not having yet
found way to beat the lottery. 1t is
understood tonight that the matter will
come up tomorrow, and that it will be
held by the majority that the law of
congress annuls that portion of the con-

Importance introduced to-day was one
by Williams in the house repeating the
law providing for a lien OH threshing
machines for repairing the same, and
by Triplett and Engel compelling rail-
roads to use patent car cOuplers, the
Massachusetts law. In the house, Ole
AXvig's joint resolution abOliShing the

house bill compelling railroads to build
platforms to facilitate the shipment of

FLEEING FOR THEIR LIVES.
Mountains of Colorado Coal Con-
Sumed,

DENVER, Col, Feb. 4.-Hundreds of
families were fleeing for their lives last
night. Mile after mile and mountains
of coal are OH fire. The loss will reach
into the millions. as mountain after
mountain is rapidly burning up. The
terrible heat and smoke are almost suf-
locating. Those residing within few
miles of the conflagratlon are rapidly
moving their household effects. Horses
and cattle are stampeding in all direc-
tions. Railroads are running their
trains, conveying passengers to place
of safety. The Colorado Midland rail
road is the leading owner of the coal
mountains, and is heavy loser The
miraculous escape of hundreds of min
ers is just being fully realized, and it
seems like kind act OF Providence
that this mornings dispatches did not
recount the death of hundreds OF brave
toilers. The day force had just set the
fuses and left the shaft for supper
while the members of the night Shift,
numbering over 200, were congregating
outside the shaft when the explosion
occurred. Had it happened ten min
Utes later it would have been repeti-
ton of the Pennsylvania horror. How
much longer the fire will continue 1t is
impossible to say. If all the fire com
panies OF the civilized world would con-
gregate in front of the flaming noun

be subdued. The residents of Glen

phaticall the belief that one of the farm

politically to the suppression of evils in
politics and the production of higher
principles and better government in

warned farmers of dangers arising
from the grasping of land by monopo-
lies and the Capitalization of the wealth

legislation. He predicted that unless
legislation in the interest of the masses
was soon had, half OF the wealth of this
country would be controlled by 10000
men by the end of twenty-five years.
He urged the election of farmers to
state legislatures and to congress. and
deplored the fact that there were
scarcely enough farmers in congress to
constitute an agricultural committee.
