STEAMBOAT STORY.
FARMER OBJECTED TO ms LAND
BEING PUG"
The Stranded Steamer Was Finally
Put Back In Water However

Steamboats, are beset by more DIFF
ferent difficulties than a young
preacher. and the present ice dim
cultles calls to mind a little story OF
a mean man and unfortunate steam
boat. says the Cairo Bulletin. Like
fish. a steamboats, most serious
troubles arise from any interference
with it's natural element, the water.
A fish out OF water is in no worse
trouble than a boat out OF water.
unless for definite purpose In me-
chanical way. The steamer Nesbitt,
of Evansville, during a high water In
the Ohio when It was running over
the bank above Henderson. KY, one
spring. not long ago. being In the
hands OF a doubtful pilot with his
superior ability under his hat and
not shown in his work. wandered out
into the field Of a farmer, a mean
man, and stuck fast. The river was
falling and by the time Bob Horn
brook at Evansville got the word
that his boat was one OF the appur-
tenances thereto appertaining to a
mean mans farm above Henderson,
her case was hopeless and in a few
DAYS the Waterman walked dry-foot-
ed all around her. The pilot that
put her there, Il was reported, was
standing at a bar In Evansville tell
ing crowd what a good pilot he was
and relating numerous great feats
he had performed on dark nights.
when you could not see the chimney
but he did not mention the Nesbitt.
Bob Hornbrook went down and
found her very close to the brink OF
the bank and wanted to dig II down
and skid her back into the river.
The mean man said: mo. Nary
shovelful Of my dirt do you dig. /
am a mind to make grist mill out
of her. She's on my land and she's
mine" What Bob Hornbrook said
was never recorded nor remembered.
In the fullness of his tumultuous
feelings he probably spoke In Ger

offered remuneration. Is not known.

BROOKPORT'S BOOM.
Preparations Being Made for Electric

The much talked of electric light
and water works plant seems at last
as II going to be a reality. says the
Brookport Eagle. The city council
has taken hold of the matter and the
city dads never fail to make things
go when they try. At the last meet
ng the mayor appointed a committee
OF three to correspond with some
company in regard TO lights and
water works and some OF Brookports
most progressive men are on the
committee, and we are sure they will
do their best to secure them.
This Is indeed a grand move on the

NO BACK TAXES CAN
BIZ PAID SCHOOLS
THEY ARE NOT ENTITLED TO
ANY PART THEREOF.
Court Of Appeals Decides n Case In
jefferson County Involving
the Question.
SETTLES THE PADUCAH CASE.

The board of education several
weeks ago asked Attorney Tom Crice
for an opinion relative TO recovering
a share of the back taxes collected
from time to time by the city.
The board. 1t seems. was under the
impression that II was entitled to a
certain per cent of the tax levy
never more than 80 cents on the
800 under the second class charter
while in fact Il is expected each
year to ask merely for the amount
of money estimated to be necessary to
run the schools that year, and the
city then levies whatever is neces-
sary to raise that amount, IL IT is SS
cents or less.
The fact that the schools always
make their report before the tax
books have been supervised and II is
ascertained what the tax levy is to
be shows that the schools cannot de-
mand so many cents on the 500, but
must ask for the money itself.
Attorney Crice has never rendered
a formal opinion, but has stated that
he thought the schools could get their
ratio out of back taxes, provided the
amount that was paid the schools in
any year was not the amount the
schools had asked for.
The following decision of the court
of appeals exactly covers the case.
and decides what Attorney Crice was
asked to decide:
Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 27.-The
court of appeals. in an opinion by
Judge Barker, reversed the Jefferson
chancery court in the case OF the city
of Louisville VS.. the Louisville school
board. The action was to recover
what IL claims to be its share of the
money collected by the city as de-
llnquent taxes. The lower court
awarded judgment for s2S,450.30,
being the amount claimed for five
years. before institution of this ac-
ton. This court says: 1--WE are
unable to adopt this view Of the
statute, and for reasons given, the
judgment is reversed. with directions
TO dismiss the petition"
Had the question been decided the
other way, the Paducah schools
would have had several thousand
due them from the city.

The First Announcement Of
Vote is Interesting.
New Entries In the Lists Today Add
Additional Interest TO the
Contests.
NOTES OF THE CONTESTS

The first announcement of the
standing of the entries in The Suns
contests Saturday was received with
a good deal of interest. There was
an unusually. big number of votes
cast and the list of entries was also
large.
The interest in the contests in
creases each day and will continue to
do so, as they progress.
Attention is called to the fact that
TO have your ballots which you cut
from The Sun counted each must be
detached.
Some of our readers have been
sending in the slip containing all
four ballots, and to cut them apart
demands more time than we can
give it. Therefore, remember and
send in each ballot detached.
Remember you are entitled to a
special coupon in each contest when
paying your subscription in advance.
These coupons do not have to be vot-
ed at one ebut are good at any time
within ten days. You can, therefore
take a coupon for a contest in which
you are not interested and trade 1t
for a similar one in the one in which
you are interested.
