The Senate is still talking,
but it is thought that the tariff
bill will pass by Saturday night.
At the Democratic Senatori-
al Convention. held in Lancaster,
Wednesday afternoon, Hugh Mar
shall, of Unionville received the
nomination.
The new sewer ordered by
the city council will require, in
some places, excavations at least
20 feet deep. All this can be
avoided by utilizing the natural
drainage.
"A few weeks ago the Popu-
lists were declaring that there
would be no fusion of Democrats
and Populists in Adair county.
Now the Advocate is openly bid
ding for fusion.
The "Farmers Advocate"
asks: What do Republicans think
of the "Tom and JIM ticket? If
the Advocate will rest easy un-
til November, it will find that it is
one of the most popular tickets
ever nominated in the county.
Oats sold in car lots in st.
Louis Wednesday at SOC per bush
ell, in Chicago at 56 per buShel.
This sudden rise in prices was
caused by the report that half
crop cannot be grown in the United
States this year, and the old crop
is exhausted. Adair county farm
ers with good crops will have a
bonanza.
THE city council have order
ed a sewer on Franklin street to
extend from the square south
to Bear Creek. The wisdom CT this
order is not apparent, as the sewer
can only be built at grevious ex-
pense to the property owners on
the south third of the street The
estimated cost of the sewer is
$500, but there is no doubt that
it will cost double that amount to
finish it. Why is the natural
drainage between Normal street
and the south end of Franklin
street ignored by the council? By
utilizing the natural drainage at
least two thirds of the expense
could be saved, and drainage
equally as good obtained. There
is no good reason why a heavy
burden should be imposed upon
property owners when as good
results can be obtained without
it.

1t would be difficult to say
whether the sugar trust Democrat
ic Senators or the men who COM
pose the sugar trust are the most
frightened Just now. The danger
ahead of the sugar schedule is no
longer. thanks to a robust express
sion of public opinion by the news
papers of the country, confined TO
the House. A movement is now
on foot to modify the sugar
schedule before the formal vote is
taken on it in the Senate. Ifit
were net for absolute pledges which
Democratic Senators have made
there would be no doubt of the
success of the movement. Still the
disgust of some of them is so mark
ed that they may repudiate their
pledges, preferring to offend the
sugar trust rather than to lose the
respect of thousands of their con-
stituents.
The week opened with much I'M
certainty concerning the tariff bill.

THE DATE OF THE EXODUS.
1t Would Seem to Lie Between the Years
1880 and 1900 b, c.


Although the monuments and papyri
give rs no direct information upon the
subject of the exodus, they do Indirect
ly indicate a certain period within
which it must have taken place. Thoth-
mes III, who was the most powerful
king of that dynasty (the eighteenth)
which finally drove the Hyksos invad-
ers out of Egypt and reunited the whole
country under one scepter, extended his
conquests as far as Mesopotamia, over
running Palestine on his way. He left
lists of the conquered nations, but does
not mention the Israelites among them.
Rameses II Of the nineteenth dynasty,
the supposed oppressor, who reigned
about 200 years later, also subdued
Palestine and left lists of the conquered
peoples. but he, again, does not men
ton the Israelites among them.
What is perhaps still more impor-
tant is that, while the Israelites have
left records of invasions by Mesopota
mians, Moabites, Canaanites, Midianites
and PhiIistines, they do not mention
any invasion by the Egyptians, and the
conclusion is that the Israelites were
not settled on the west side of the Jor-
dan till after the wars waged by Ram
eses II at the commencement of his
reign, which began not earlier than
1888 B. c., or, as some now say, 1866
BIC.
1t has been attempted to explain this
difficulty away by suggesting that Ram
eses II kept close to the seacoast on his
march through Palestine and did not
strike inland till he was some distance
to the north of the Israelites, but it is
inconceivable that he should not have
secured his long line of communications
by establishing posts so far inland that
they must have been brought into con-
tact with the Hebrews if the latter had
at that time been settled in their own
country.
The earliest date, therefore, at which
the Egyptian history will permit the
exodus to have taken place, even when
full allowance is made for the time
spent by the Jews in the wilderness and
in conquering Palestine, would seem to
be about 1880 B. c., while, if the shorter
chronology be adopted, it could not
have been much earlier than 1900 B.
