Barrel" Whiskey Ends.

Chicago, July 1.-THE future
manufacture of whiskey from slaves
of barrels in which the liquor had
aged, was handicapped by Federal
Judge Lands, who dismissed the suit
of the Western Extraction Company
against the collector ST internal reve-
nue..
Barrel stave" whiskey is made by
extracting from the slaves the whis-
key, which has been absorbed and
adding alcohol. Two years ago the
internal revenue collector ruled that
firms making this kind of whiskey
would have to prove tax was paid
on the whiskey which the barrels
contained or pay second tax.
The order virtually forced the COM
panies out of business, it is said, and
an injunction restraining the govern
ment from enforcing the order was
sought. This petition was denied.

Lamar Must Give Road Money
Back to Township.

jefferson City, July 15.-ln the
case of Lamar township against the
city of Lamar. Judge Faris held in
the supreme court Tuesday that
monies paid by one municipal office to
another through mistake Of law may
be recovered back in an action at law.
The aggregate amount involved in
this case was So, 1872. Sc.
The amount invested by Lamar
township was for road and bridge
funds levied and collected in Lamar
township for years 1911, and by the
township collector and the county
treasurer as ex-officio collector, paid
to the treasurer of the city of Lamar.
Judge Faris holds that officers are
trustees as to the public money which
comes to their hands, and that to hold
that such money could not be recov-
ed back, as commended for by the city
of Lamar, "might and could become
a mighty instrument of evil and
might (since there is no gauge by
which to measure the kind and nature
of the mistake of law which will
serve to excuse) be used to defend
against all manner of thefts and lar
ceny and the illegal frittering away of
the public money

High Judge Asks Justice.

| Supreme Court Chambers of Silas
Porter, Justice, Topeka, Kansas. To
The Star: At the lawyers picnic the
other day Judge z. .Hazen and were
opponents in a horse shoe pitching
contest. He threw ringer and |
threw another on top of his. He
claims it is tie, or that both count.
| claim that his does not count, that |
count either one or two ringers.
Which is right? Whatever your de-
cisioh is will stand for it, If you
decide against the Judge please allow
him thirty days for motion for re-
hearing. Yours truly,
SILAS PORTER.
As the plaintiff in error admits this
controversy arose only 'the other
day it manifestly has no standing as
yet in any appellate court.
Has the question of jurisdiction
been properly fought out? Appar-
emily not.
Have any masters been appointed?
Not any.
Any dispositions taken?' None.
Has the defendant in error amended
his petition? No reference to it.
Have any intervenors appeared?
None in sight.
Has the case been taken to the fed
eral court on the we'll known consti-
tutional ground that it won't stand up
anywhere else? No. 90,
Then why this haste?
However, this court will state the
rule, having adopted it by vote of 4
to 3. Four of this court say it is
rule and three say il is not. But this
court holds it is the rule until the
next election, anyway, The rule thus
triumphantly established is:
If the last pitcher deliver a "ring-
err" on top of his opponents ringer"
such last ringer" shall count ten
points and the first one nothing.
This rule has been upheld in no
fewer than twenty states of the
Union. Likewise it has been denied
in no fewer than twenty. The Inter-
state Commerce Commission inserted
comma before the word "such,
and the commerce court took it out.
Then Congress abolished the COM
MERGE court. Then where is the
comma? In the horseshoe committee
of the United State Senate, where it
has been debated six weeks.
But the statement of the rule, even
if it could be given universal applica-
ton, in nowise settles this important
question. There is grave doubt of
the constitutionality of the game of
horseshoes itself. II has been held
that the word ringer" is in contra

Beyond stating the rule and adding

any decision on the main issue in

THREE pretty and simple little < frocks adapted to the use of the Dancing girl are shown here They make no attempt at the unusual in style or the intricate in composition. or to be anything but youthful and at tractive.
 Anyone who is patriotic enough to be interested in the use of fine cotton fabrics or cotton laces, of which so much is manufactured here in Amer ica, may study these gowns. and re- produce them in cottous There is a world Of beautiful goods in printed cottons to choose from. The plain voiles and marquisettes and figured pat terms in the same materials, and the dainty printed cotton nets vie with lovely quaker laces in adaptabihty to the simpler evening gowns.
 Already the foremost American de signers are finding quaker lace ideal for those gowns made for the young girls dancing party. It is altogether practical, for it is an inexpensive. lace as filmy as cobweb and as durable as net.
 The youngest of the three little maids who seem to be in gay readiness for the next dance has on a short, plain skirt of taffeta Over this a bodice and overdress in lowered yoile has inserts of princess lace at the front and bordering the sleeves The poirted neck is set over a little fichu / of folded chiffon.
The Sentinel=record., 1914-11-15

Her taller sister wears a draped skirt of soft crepe, folded over at the front and with a low baby" waist Over this a plain short-sleeved bodice and short tunic of quaker lace is worn, confined at the waist with a twisted velvet girdle. Velvet ribbon is draped on the skirt under the lace tunic in a clever sash arrangement The sleeves are edged with a narrow fancy cotton edging.
 The remaining dress Of the three is made of a lightweight satin. with plain underskirt and tunic set on to a yoke. A plain short waist of the satin is sleeveless.
 The chic coatee of renaissance lace, made of lace braid wrought into floral patterns with lace stitches, is the dominant feature in this charming gown for the oldest of the three young buds. Lace of this kind is hapdmade, and except for the difference in the braids used, is much like battenberG lace, which sc many women know how to make for themselves
 The fine cotton crepes ard voiles, plain or printed, and the filmy cotton laces, not to speak of the silky mer. cerized cotton fabrics which are to be had in all the light evening colors, of. fer the most appropriate materials for the young girls party gown, and in them the charm of her youth makes itself most strongly felt

CHOES for the promenade in fair O weather and on paved walks are quite different from those that must meet sterner demands like the tramp on country roads, rain or shine. or the daily walk to business. Now that women demand so much in appear ance and have grown so discrlmi- hating as to style and fitness few shoes are designed for all-round wear
 There is economy in having three pairs of shoes for anyone who Is much out of doors If one of these is simply for dress the other two pairs. worn alternately or according to weather conditions, may be kept in perfect repair and will give better service in this way
 Just now the most fashionable boot for the street has a cloth top in fawn color tan, or gray cloth with patent colt yamp. Sometimes the heel is covered with cloth, but oftener it is a smart Louis heel of leather. The model shown here is laced up the front. where each side is faced with a narrow strip of leather. The stay at the back is trimmed in points and the shoe is exquistely made With the very short, narrow underskirts (now so much worn with long tunics) this shoe is elegant and is worn with all the fashionable dark colors in suits There are similar shoes that button at the side instead of lacing up the front
 A neat, inconspicuous and service able shoe for daily wear is made of fine, dull mat kid with a wide toe and Cuban heel of medium height. It is substantially put together and is very comfortable. It is designed for both style and service. and de- serves to be described as sensible. Two pairs of this kind will prove a good investment.
 For the hardest wear the second pair of shoes might be like those

shown in the central figure. With dull calf vamp and kid top, a slight extension sole and low heel, one can defy weather and all sorts of roads in this boot and cover good distances unconscious of feet. It laces up the front, but similar models are made to button.
 Every one should try to become in- formed about quality in shoes. Thanks to the excellence of American manufacturers we wear the best shaped and most stylish footwear in the world. We can have both style and comfort and know when we are getting these. But as to leather, most buyers must take tho word of the sell CT because one cannot rely upon ones own knowledge
