FAMOUS KENTUCKY JURIS7
Judge TOney, Man who Issued In
functions i'm Celebrated Taylor
GoebeI Case.

Judge STERLING B. Toney of Denver, who
delivered the address to the Elks on the
occasion OF their memorial services yester-
day, was for fifteen years on the bench Of
the law and equity court in Louisville, KY,
and is the judge who issued the famous
injunctions in the Taylor-Goebel contro-
versy of several years ago. The judge is
a democrat and those he enjoined were
democrats, but he says that politics and
courts do not go together even though
members of his party at that time prophe-
sled his political death
On that memorable election day in Ken
lucky the democrats refused admittance to
republican inspectors at the polls when the
votes were counted. Judge Toney issued
lnjunctions restraining the election officers
from refusing admittance to the republican
inspectors. The officers then declined to
recognize the courts orders, and the judge
promptly issued bench warrants and eighty
offenders were brought into court. They
were fined $40 each. but still the law was
not obeyed until the governor. who was in
the city at tho time, ordered out the mill
itia and the polling places were entered by
the soldiers with fixed bayonets.
The year following this Judge Toney was
elected to the supreme bench of Kentucky
as democrat with a majority vote of 1000
Judge Toney has taken up his residence
in Denver on account of the health OF his
son, who, THE Judge says, went west an
invalid, but now weighs as much as his
dad and can choot better, fish better. swim
better and practice law better than his
dad"
Judge Toney and Judge E. NJ Bartlett
have been friends for years.

FREIGHT RATES MAY co UP
Matter to Be Settled at Meeting Of
Officials This Week.
THREE PER CENT RAISE PROPOSED
Effect on Local JObbers Cannot BE
Estimated Until the Character
of Rates IL Made
known.

VIII the railroads increase freight rates
between the Atlantic seaboard and the Mis-
sissippi river? That question has been wor-
rying the jobbers for some moons, but is
now in fair way toward settlement.
When the railroads first announced that
raise in rates would be necessary they
said they were going to increase the rates
10 per cent Then a change was made and
they said per cent increase was all
that was required to bring up the revenue
to paying basis. The question will, in all
probability, be settled tomorrow evening
in Chicago at a conference between the
railroads and the representatives Of the
Manufacturers association.
w. c. Brown, vice president of the New
York Central, is authority for the state
ment that the raise will not exceed pei
cent, but 1t is not announced on what art
icles the raise will be made to apply. II
the class rates, on which the higher grade
merchandise are shipped are to be raised
the complaints will come from the mer-
chants. If the raise is to be confined to
commodity rates the manufacturers will be
expected to make the strongest protest The
conference, It is sexpected, will definitely
determine what the raise is to be and on
what articles, and also whether a fight Ii
to be made and also who will make the
fight.
No Compromise whatever.
When the proposed raise of 10 per cent
was first announced last May a committee
was appointed with instructions to submit
to no compromise whatever The situation
has been somewhat changed by the return
of prosperity following the presidential
election and. although the committee Is
still bound by the shippers conference
which demands that any increase of rates
be submitted to the Interstate Commerce
! commission with the alternative 20 seek ar
injunction, it is believed that IL the sub
committee is convinced that the demands OF
the railroads are reasonable a report will
be carried back to the general committee
for further instructions. II the committee
determines the shippers will not stand for
the increase they will demand of the rail-
roads that a test case be made before the
Interstate Commerce commission and that
in the meanwhile the new tariff be held in
allegiance.
Just what the effect OF the proposed raise
will be on Omaha merchants and Jobbers
and manufacturers cannot be determined
until II is learned on what commodities the
roads propose to make the raise.

The Bordered Gown.

An original white frock of the
youthful simplicity" order struck a
new note the other day, being worn
by a golden-haired girl in slight
mourning. 1t was a soft filminess of
very fine white net resembling tulle,
and both the upper skirt (short to the
knees in front and apparently caught
up at the back of the waist to fall in
irregular edged box plaits) and the
lower one was bordered with deep
hem of black velvet, above which was
embroidered in a jet running design
of round garlands and ribbons, looping
over and under a band of silver It's
sue laid beneath the net.
This idea could be varied and car
ried out in all sorts of colors, or in
one ar two shades combined with a
white or ivory gown, or all in one pale
hue.
The difference in material is often
sufficient contrast; velvet on chiffon or
crepe de chine, for instance.
