Atty.-Gen. oren on Beet Sugar Law.

Attorney-General Oren will oppose
the claim of the Michigan Sugar COM
pany in the supreme court on the
ground that the law of 1897 was law
making an appropriation of public
money for private purposes, and that
as such it should have received two
thirds majority AS a matter of fact
it received but 81 votes in the house.
The encouragement contends that the
beet sugar law cannot be sustained on
any ground, as it is law making an
appropriation in aid of private enter
prises, and is therefore unconstit 4
tional.

The Burlington passenger train from
Denver reached Kansas City in a sadly
wrecked condition, having passed
through one of the severest hail, wind
and rain storms which railroad men
say they ever encountered. The storm
struck the train Az miles west of ST.
Joseph, Mo-, in an open piece of eoun-
try, and the engineer threw open the
throttle in the hope of running away
from it, The train was filed with
people and wild excitement prevailed.
With the wind and rain came hail, and
every window in the north side of the
sleeper, three coaches and one mail
car, was smashed and many of the
passengers were cut by flying glass.
Water poured in through the windows
and fairly flooded the cars.
