ing the cost Of experiment at about

declined the requests to order the
bombardment of the skies by all
guns on Puget Sound and at the
mouth of the Columbia river in an
effort to cause rain in the burning
forest district in the northwest. In
addition to the objection of the cost.
army officials regarded the proposal

Baseball Fans,
Come TO Rescue
of City Team

Those Paducah braves. who
are doing what thew can to
establish name and fame for
Paducah as a baseball town
D.. the Indians, of the Kitty league,
are sadly In need of munitions
OF war, TO continue out this sea-
son. and the owners of the club
are appealing to the loyal fans
Of the city to come 60 their
assistance.
That there are a great many
loyal baseball fans In Paducah,
who will contribute literally TO
the support of the games here.
The San firmly believes. Pa
ducah folk generally are quite
liberal when any occasion de-
mandlng llberality arises.
Such an incident is before us
now. The sun wants to assist
the hackers OF the club. and
will give s25 toward the fund
being raised to tide over the
baseball season. which ends the
latter part OF next month. And
The Sun will gladly accept do
nations from any one wishing
10 contribute TO the good cause.
The Paducah baseball asso-
citation started out with far less
funds than any OF the other
teams had. and this accounts
for the appeal now for assist
ance. The affairs OF the club
have been conducted economi-
cally. and but for the Indictment
weather earlg in the season,
rains for three weeks-it
would have needed no help at
all
Hopklnsvii!e raised over
$4,000 for It's CLUB, GAINESVILLE
and Vincennes almost as much.
and the Paducah contingent
secured only $500.
So. now, II is up to the
friends OF the game. and those
who have any pride in the city's
reputation for such things. to
come 20 the aid OF their
country" Both the local news
papers will receive subscrip-
tons, and do all they can for
team.
What will YOU other fans do?

Amazing Marriages.

The marriage customs of insects are
dreadful, and, contrary to what hap
pens in every other word. here it is the
female of the couple who stands for
strength and intelligence, and also for
cruelty and tyranny, which appear to
be their inevitable consequence. AL
most every wedding ends in the violent
and immediate death of the husband.
Often the bride first eats certain
number of suitors. The type of these
fantastic unions could be supplied by
the Languedocian scorpions, who, as
we know, carry lobster claws and a
long tail supplied with a sting, the
prick of which is extremely dangerous
They have a prelude to the festival in
the shape of a sentimental stroll, claw
in claw; then, motionless. with fingers
still crippled, they contemplate each
other blissfully, interminably; and day
and night pass over their ecstasy,
while they remain face to face, petri-
heads come together and touch; the

opens between the clawS+are Joined in
a sort of kiss; after which the union is
accomplished, the male is transfixed
with a mortal sting and the terrible
spouse crunches and gobbles him down
with relish.
But the Mantis, the ecstatic insect
with the arms always raised in an at
titude of supreme invocation, the hor-

ture and who voted in the bipartisan
combination have been returned. Three
of the state lawmakers, who were in
dicted in connection with the Jackpot"
scandals, however, were reelected.
Among them was Lee O'Neil Browne of
