WASHINGTON. June 18 -(Special Tele
gramsSurveying the constantly growing
pile of presents and the great mass of let
ters which are pouring Into the White
House today, and have been for several
days past, t President Taft remarked to a
group of newspaper men this afternoon,
with a broad smile, an enlargement of the
famous Taft smile:
"All this la for the president of the 1,'nited
States, boys Mrs. Taft."
heally the White House today would put
to shame almost any Jewelry store in the
country. Every conceivable, and some al
most Inconceivable, article of silverware
for 'household and personal use is included
In the list of presents to mark the twenty
fifth anniversary of the marriage June 19,
1SS6, of Helen Herron, the beautiful young
Cincinnati belle, to William Howard Taft,
the rising young attorney of the same city.
There were massive silver dinner services
and humble Bllv-er spoons with pretty much
everything between. Every stratum of so
ciety was represented In the list of pres
ents. King George and Queen Mary took time
from the tremendous tasks on their hands
In connection with the coronation next week
to Bend a handsome remembrance. Kaiser
Wllhelm also showed his kindly feeling
towards America and the American chief
executive by sending an appropriate token.
The senate and the house of representa
tives chipped In for handsome silver serv
ices. Members of the supreme court, diplo
mats, cabinet ministers. American ambas
sadors,' men of lower degree, personal and
family friends and lowly admtrrrs of the
president all are represented in the splendid
collection.
It is doubtful If ever the celebrants of a
silver wedding were so universally remem
bered. A list of the presents would read like a
catalogue of a silver manufacturing con
cern. . -
In response to question today, ar at
tache of the White House said: "The num
ber af presents runs Into the hundreds. , I
would bo afraid to give an estimate of tha
value or the weight of the silver.
As a matter of fact, the celebration has
caused a real boom In the silversmiths
trade, not alone in Washington, but In
other large cities.' They have been work
ing overtime to get the silver ready ou
time. ......

tions have been sent to more than 4.000
people to be present at the reception. Tt
White House will "be decorated with June
royes and clusters of flowers, and tha en
trance will resemble a garden walk with
llower'ng plants and palms. Through
the?e the guests will pass to the east room,
where a program of music by the United
States Marine band will be furnished, and
there will be dancing. In which the younger
members, friends of the president's chil

The guests will be received by the presi

LINCOLN, June 18. Activity which has
largely ben confined to the republicans
in regard to flllnfa for this fall'a political
campaign promises soon to swing the other
way and filings are to be the order of tha
day on the part of democrats with ambi
tion. FollowtBf a nimoC Jhat a, slat composed
of Judge- W.' rvOldham Of Kearney, State
Senator I. L: Alberta of Columbus and
County Attorney William English of Omaha
had been agred upon in certain quarters
as a. prospective state supreme bench
lineup, talk among the crowd of Jeffereon
lans has been centered on the strength of
such a trio, .
Bryan democrats are loath to Jump at
the suggestion of Judge Oldham's naaie
going on the ticket In view of his flaying
of the great commoner one hot day 'last
July In the big tent at Grand Island.'
Republican Asplrnnts.
. The republican aspirants who have filed
for their party's nuiiiliiatloit number six
are are, besides the three present Incum
bents, Judge Root, Rose and Letton, the
Buffalo county legal light. Judge F. O.
Hamer of Kearney, J. E. Cobbey of Bea
trice and Clay county's favorite son, Am
brose C. Epperson of Clay Center, at one
time a supreme court commissioner. ..one
of these men has been backward as to the
race and several of them have already
started their out-ln-the-state advertising
campaigna.
For railway commissioner demotfatlc
aspirants have fought as shy as they have
of tha three places on the supreme bench,
though it is generally conceded that W. J.
Furse, appointed to the place to fill the
vacancy caused by the deat hof William
Cowglll,' will come out In the next fort
night. H. C. Beebe, a lawyer from Osceola,
was the first man to mention hla ambi
tions to tha world and Stat Senator Mc
Gre wof Franklin county waa the next.'
For regents the democrats have sent two
men to the starting mark, J. E. Miller, a
merchant of this city, and Otto Koutouo of
Richardson county. The latter earned the
right to wear a political handle to hla
nama through two sessions spent ln the
state legislature when he sought at evry
turn of tha road to protect the Interests of
the university from which ha graduated
and for which he Is known to cherish an
unusual regard. The Koutouc filing, how
ever, it la claimed by thosa who say they
know, haa one little phase surrounding It
which may be looked upon by democrats
with more than interest. 7t la aald that
a man who in due time expects to file for
the 1912 gubernatorial race was unusually
Insistent on trotting the Rlqhardson county
man out for a state office this year In
order that a plea of "hands off Richard
son" might ba made next year when State
Senator John H. Morehead comes out for
the governorship of tha state.

tha most instructive for the people of the

. "Progress 1st he order of tha age not

Mellor. "Thosa who have closely followed
the Nebraska state fair have been Im
pressed with tha wonderful progress It has

asset ths state haa, it la of the moat value

Commerce Ruling
Favors Railroads
Complaint on Live Stock Rates from
West to Mississippi River is
, Dismissed.
- (From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, June. 17 (Special Tele
gram.) In the case affecting the rates on
live stock from Kanaas City and points In
what Is known- as Kansas territory to St
Louis and other Mississippi river crossings
the railroads have won a temporary vic
tory. The result affects Omaha equally
with Kansas City. The live stock and prin
cipal baslnjess organisation of Kansas City
protested against the Increased rates on
live , stock which were announced by the
railroads crossing Misauoii last summer.
These higher tariffs were ordered sus
pended until June 10 of this year pending
Investigation. .
The opinion and order of the commission
Issued today recites that aa the proceeding
Involves tha allegation of unjust discrim
ination and undue preference and advan
tage as between the live stock markets at
Kansas City, Omaha and Chicago, since
the commlslon has before It only the rate
from one of these markets, namely Kansas
City, it is manifestly impossible upon- ths
Issue presented and the record made to
come to any conclusions. It Is further de
clared that Insofar as the question of
reasonableness is concerned the matter di
rectly Involves the larger question of . the
reasonableness of through transportation
charges from points west of Kansas City
to the consuming centers of the east, and
as there are not before the commission the
proper parties or the necessary informs'
tlon, no conclusion can be reached upon
the lasue in this proceeding.
. For these reasons the suspension of the
rates Involved will not be further continued
and the order suspending them Is cancelled
without prejudice to any of tha Interests
Involved.
