statements becomes apparent. We

Suns Corona Visible Yesterday

known as the suns Corona. Ii is a
similar phenomenon to the circle
more frequently seen around the
moon. and Is caused by the reflection
OF the suns rays on raindrops. Only
rarely is the Corona seen around the
sun and II was the unusual appear
ance that caused the speculation. The
raindrops act as prism and were so
disposed in the atmosphere, that the
rays were reflected as circle around
the sun. II may be many years be-
fore another such appearance will be
seen.
According to Captain Borneman's
records, May had the hottest weather
Paducah has had in six years, for that
month. June is considerably cooler
from the frequent rains. Many per-
sons think that more rain has fallen
this spring than for the same period
In several years. but the records show
that for the five months of 1898 end
ing June l nearly Ave inches less
rain fell than In The corresponding
period of 1907.

Excitement prevailed all over the
city Sunday from IL o'clock In the
morning until o'clock in the after
non. when the sun was seen to be sur
rounded by a perfect circle, of the
color OF the rainbow. Speculation
about this phenomenon was freely
INDUCED and the opinions of its
cause and probable effect ranged all
the way from more rain to the end
of the world. Among the supersti-
tious II foreboded some dire calamity
to the earth, and they connected in
their minds the unusual precipita-

$4,000 REVENUE
TO COUNTY FROM
DOG TAX LIST
Charged on Regular Tax Re.
ceipts and to be Collected
with Other Taxes.
Property Owners Not Assessed
for Poll Tax.


Sheriff j. W. Ogilyle and his depu-
ties have two unusual items on the
tax receipts this year. that have never
appeared there before The first is
the state tax of dogs at 81, and the
second is the poll tax for colored citi-
zens, | 100 OF whom were assessed
this year. There has not been a
rush yet TO pay either one.
The dog tax applies only to the
lcounty, and If all are paid. will en-
rich the state 81 800 or 81, 900. 1t
is likely that they will be paid be-
cause they are made out on the regu-
lar tax receipts and the taxpayer
cannot pay his regular taxes without
paying the state dog tax. The rev.
'enue from the dog tax goes TO a fund
to remunerate sheep owners who
have sheep Killed by dogs. Any man
who kills a sheep-killing dog, will be
paid five dollars out of this fund. and
any citizen who knowingly keeps a
sheep-killing dog is liable for a fine
The dog law further provides that
unless some person accompanies any
dog. II may be killed il IL trespasses
on private property.
As sheep raising is not a consider
able item in McCracken county farm
ing, or in the western end of the
state, some complaint may be expect
ed from the new tax. Nearly every
county has as many dogs as Me-
Cracker county. and If the assessors
are as diligent elsewhere as they were
in McCracken. large fund will be
created. No city dogs We're as
sessed.
While practically no white men in
Paducah were assessed poll tax
this year, 100 colored citizens were
so taxed Heretofore no attention
was paid TO assessing the colored cit
liens. The discrimination is count
ed for in the fact that no citizen who
pays taxes on property is assessed
poll tax now. II is supposed that
these |. 100 colored citizens were as
sessed because they paid no taxes OF
any kind. Poll taxes are assessed
regardless of whether the citizen
votes. In collecting these taxes the
sheriff has no discretion, as he must
collect whatever the assessors turn
into his Office.

A Correction

In justice to itself and to Mr.
Korne, The Sun wishes to correct the
false statements in the two morning
papers yesterday in their stories on
the arrest OF p. H. Mcdonald, who is
held here under the alleged charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
LENSES.
Both the Register and the News
Democrat said Mcdonald was man
lager of The Suns contest. This Is
not true. Mr.. ID. z. Brundage is the
manager of the contest, and has been
here in that capacity for month.
Mr.. Mcdonald came to Paducah Sat-
urday, the 9Th, from Albany, Ga,
where ne was connected with a con-
test. and asked to be given work by
The Sun. He was given an assign
ment. but communications were i'm
mediately despatched to Albany in
qulring IL his connections there had
been thoroughly satisfactory. Before
la reply was received, however, the
management of The Sun took eXcep-
lions to some OF his work here and
Immediately dispensed with his SEN
Vices.
About the same time Mr.. G.. r.
Korne, proprietor of the firm con-
Quoting The Suns contest, had been
advised OF Mr.. McDonald's work at
Albany and he Immediately came to
Paducah TO further investigate. with

one thing: that those among whom |
have been born and reared, those
that have had an opportunity to know
me better. and those who know me
better than any other people on the
face of rhe earth. want to say and do
