THE GRAVE OF JONAH.
Sacred Tomb of the Hebrew Prophet
Is at Nineveh.

The site of Nineveh is almost per-
fectly level but adjoining the west
ern wall are two huge mounds that
conceal the palaces of its greatest
kings. On the lower or southern
mound stand the mosque and vii
lage of considerable size.
The village is named Nebi Yumus,
or the Prophet Jonah, for the mosque
contains the tomb in which Jonah is
said to have been buried. The age OF
the tomb is uncertain, but it was
probably built long after the Hebrew
prophets time. However, the place
is now sacred, so that pilgrims from
afar visit it.
Il rode up the steep, narrow
streets of the village to the mosque, %
writes a visitor, "dismounted and en-
tered the yard A crowd of excited
Arabs quickly surrounded me. ex-

to see the grave of Jonah, and with
motion of the hand l made him un-
derstand that l should reward him.

priest through a dark passageway.

said the tomb was just beyond.

which the tomb itself might be seen,
but the place was too sacred for my
profane feet. The few christians
who have been permitted to see the
tomb may only look through a small
window into a dark chamber, in
which a cloth-covered mound is bare
ly discernible. 1t is said that no Mos
lem will enter the inner shrine"

THE DOG TAX NOT MUCH NOW

value should pay something, so they
consented to put it on the basis of an
ad valorem tax In other words, if
your dog is worth $25 you pay tax
on $25, and that is a good deal less
than paying the whoe dollar on each
dog
Under the ad valorem tax, which
has within the last year superseded
the tax of one dollar per head, Capt.
w. H. Harrison, of the controller
generals office, says the actual value
of the dog returned for taxation will
not average more than $500 per
county. There are 148 counties in
Georgia, and this means that all the
dogs in the state that are returned
for taxation are returned at an ag-
gregate of something like $4,000.
With tax rate of five mills or S. on
each $1,000 the state now gets from
dogs just 1870. where it used to get
in the first year of the dog tax $780,
900. You can figure it out for your
self.

YEAR TO THE STATE.
Decreased Annually and Was Finally
Repealed. Only $500 From That
Source This Year.

Dogs are not worth much to the
state of Georgia these days. There
was time about four years ago
when dogs or rather the owners of
them paid $685. 900 into the state
treasury in one year. But the good
old dog days are gone. They began
to dwindle slowly even while the dol
lar tax was charged on each dog, so
that in the second year of the state
dog tax the state collected $40, 900.
In the third year it got down to
around 100000, and after that the
dollar tax on the dog was repealed
altogether.
But the opponents of the dollar
dog tax were willing to concede that
the dog as a chattel or article of

MAKING WHITE LIGHTNING
INCONSISTENCIES IN NORTH GEOR-
GIA DOING FINE BUSINESS.
Illicit Distilling Is On the Increase.
More Than 100 Cases on the
Federal Court Docket.

Illicit DistilIing Is On the Increase.
More Than 100 Cases on the
Federal Court Docket.
Notwithstanding the activities of
the revenue officers in the northern
district of Georgia there is every in
dication that more and more illicit
whiskey is beng made, especially in
the mountain districts, than was ever
before turned out.
There were more than 100 cases
of illicit distilling on the docket of
| the United States district court,
which has convened for the fall term,
and every succeeding docket grows
larger.
Aged MOOnShiner Quits.
John B. Ingram, an aged but act
i've citizen of Union county, who is in
Atlanta to testify against couple of
youthful moonshiners from his sec
ton, and himself one of the most
picturesque OF the mountain makers
of white lightning" declared that
he was through with the business for
good. He has been out under bond
for six months and says within that
period he has made no whiskey and
does not intend to make any more.
He says that the revenue officers
have become so numerous and so act
i've as to interfere seriously with the
profits of the business and that they
make it more dangerous than ever
before.
But There Are Others.
Migrants views may fit his own
case, but they are not borne out by
the numerous arrests and seizures
which are being made all over the
northern section of the state. In
fact, the reports from extreme North
east Georgia are to the effect that
the business is more profitable than
ever, provided the distiller can dodge
the officers for long enough period.
There used to be a time when white
lightning sold for a dollar gallon.
The purchaser would take his gallon
Jug and leave it in an old stump
with a dollar on top of it. Later he
would go back and get his jug full
of white corn whiskey. But that is
all past and gone. 1t takes dollar
now to buy a quart, and if man
wants a gallon jug full he has got
to put up three or four dollars to
get it. So the moonshiner who has
kept up the business is really max
ing 200 to 300 per cent more than
he did in the old days. 1t is almost
impossible for a man to get any
where near the still. The purchase
must be made through somebody
who is known to them, and there are
plenty of men to be found in the
mountains who are always ready to
undertake the commission.

SUPERBAS' HOPES FOR
FIFTH PLACE DASHED
Braves Capture Double Header,
and with 1t Second
Division Head.
lBy Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Boston. oct. 3.-Boston clnched its hold
on fifth place in the race for the National
League pennant by defeating the Brook
lyn Superbas i'm both games of double
header here this afternoon. The Braves
won the first battle handily by score of
3 10 /. but were hard pushed to earn the
honors in the final game by score OF I
TO 6. AS a result Of the double victory
the Braves have a lead Of three full
games and q points in the percentage
column. Two games will be played to-
morrow, but even If the Braves lose both
they will hold their position by one whole
game.
In the last desperate struggle 20 capture
the berth at the top of the second division
Bill Dahlen called upon his two star box
men. G. Napoleon Rucker. the big south
paw. entered the lists in the first game,
but after six innings he retired, having
allowed eight hits. which were fairly well
punched in the early innings. His recep-
tior was so cordial that IL bordered close
ly upon the ELUSIVE. and so overcome
was Rucker that he simply could not deny
the courteous home team three runs.
Those three TALES were more than
enough to win the game. Brown entered
the game in the seventh inning and held
the Braves in check. lie was touched for
two hits. but refused to permit any scor-
ing.
Ed Reulbach worked part OF the second
game, but, like Rucker, was not particu-
larly effective. and when he quit Boston
had a comfortable lead. Pfeffer and
Raglan worked in turn when the former
I Chicago pitcher left for other parts; but
they just could not win.
However. the Superbas made 1t quite
interesting for all concerned in the ninth
inning of the second game. Jack Quinn.
the one-time Yankee twrler, was out at
work. and for eight innings had been the
original Chinese puzzle. The Superbas
plucked down a run in the second inning
and another in the sixth. but that was the
extent of the scoring ability. Then quinn
seemed TO lose his effectiveness. and his
] defence went to pieces at the same time.
| Five successive hits. with three errors
! enabled the Superbas TO shoot four run
ners over the pan, but there they were
/ forced 10 stop.

LONDON AGAINST JOHNSON
Little Chance of Bout with Sam
Langford There.
Try cable 10 The Tribune !

London. oct 4,-There seems little
prospect OF a fight between Jack John
son and Sam Langford being held In
London.
The boxing club that would under
take such bout would be the National
Sporting club, the very organization
that Johnson threw down so fatty after
he fought Burns in Australia.
After that the National Sporting Club
practically blacklisted Johnson, for II
had furnished some Of the funds neces-
sary to make trip TO Australia on the
promise he would return here and fight
Iangford on Derby Night in 1909.
The big black beat Burns and ignored
the promise made in London. Johnson
is now in Vienna. and while Henry
Tozer the man who wanted TO put him
on the music halls, is still making wild
statements. there is absolutely no
chance of Johnson trying TO appear in
London now. Public sentiment is all
against him on account of his connec-
ton with white slave" cases.
