It ia atated that Judge Hulllvan favored granting the rehearing aa he waa not on the aupreme bench when the pre tloua argument for a rehearing wa mode. At any rate there doe not ap pear to have been any diaaent '( In granting the rehearing. The people of the atate are watching the proceed ing in theae caae with critical inter eat.

In hi letter from Washington an nouncing tlie withdrawal of the clauae Henry T, Oxnard any: '"Hie preaent contract which we of fer thu farmer ot Nebraaka give them on an average of about ,')0 cent more per ton than they received laat year. At the outaet, our contract wa worded, giving ua the abaolute right to reject all beet of a quality which we deemed unfit to manufacture Into aiigar, namely, All beet below 12 au ger and 80 purity. We do not want thi low quality of beet, a they can not be manufactureI profitably into augar and would im ouiy too glad if tlm firmer would keep theae, bxw grade and feed them to their cattlo, but we do aay aa a favor to the arm era if they cannot ecd them w will be willing to accept them at a reduc ed trl(e, Aa fur a I can ace thia ia the only queatiou in dlpute between the farmer and ouraclvea, They want d to accept any beet they ace (It to aupply tia with, whether they can be manufactured profitably into augar or not.
