The Nipur Discoveries.



The discovery of the remains of the
was built 1000 years before Christ as re-
lated in a New York Sunday newspaper
has created no surprise among devout
biblical students in this city, notwithStand-
ing that it upsets the chronology as printed
in the margin of the Book of Genesis
Prof. S. a. Binion. eminent archae-
ologist is authority for the statement that
American scientists, exploring near the
ruins of the ancient city of Babylon in
Assyria, have stumbled Unexpectedly upon
another buried city nearly 100 feet below
ruins of the ancient and unknown city of
Nipur, remains of a highly develoDed
state of civilization. which dates back TO
1000 years before the time of Christ and
5000 years before the creation of the world
as set down in the marginal chronology
of the Bible.
This discovery upSets the reckonngs of
the biblical scholar. who is authority for
the present chronology, but scriptura1 ex-
do not for moment believe that 1904 B. c.
was the actual date of the creation and
even if they We're agreed upon this, a dis
covery of this nature would not diminish
the value of the first book in the Bible one
iota, for the facts recorded in the Genesis
are accompanied by no dates. These We're
added in later centuries.
This is the consensus of opinion of Boston
clergyuen whom representative OF the
Boston Herald interviewed That such an
important discovery has been made not one
of these ministers cared to dispute Fur
Their evidence of contirmatory reports, how
ever, must be forthcoming before the state
ments of Professor Binion will receive gen,
eral acceptance.

know. General Watts, if nominated,
would make a good campaign
Attorney E. G. Smith: General
Watts: Tor the reason that he is man
of great ability, interchangeable and mex
haustible energy, and a magnificent
campaigner. He would be a sure WIN
ner if nominated.
Col. Ben Wilson: I'm answering your
suggestion, | desire to say that | have
been earnestly advocating the nomina-
ton of my friend, Judge Bennett, for
this position, because of his lifelong
Democracy, his eminent fitness for the
position, and his central location in the
State For some months it has been
doubtful whether he would be a candi-
date for the GOvernorship, or for re-
election to his present position, judge
OF the Circuit Court Recently his
county, Lewis, by its Democratic con-
yention, instructed its delegates 10 sup
port him for reelection TO his present
position. if not by his consent. certainly
not against his protest. And since then
Webster county, also in his judicial
circuit has done the same thing which,
| suppose, according TO political GUS
tom and usage, eliminates him from
the Gubernatorial campaign, which |
regret.
with him out Of the race, and hard
fight and hot contest in sight, the Demo-
cratic party needs a winner for a can
didate, without reference to the county
be comes from. Now, under the cir
cumstances, l don't know where we
M n Ia candidate
than General Watts. He. too. is life
long Democrat. man of talent with
clean record. He is an able, bold, ag-
gressiye campaigner, as | have observed
in my association with him upon the
stump. He will not finch nor be found
wanting, but will meet any candidate
for any Office in the State that our Re-
publican friends may choose to put
against him. He is in the vigor OF his
manhood, physically and mentally able
TO make for his party rustling. stirring
campaign all along the line from start
to finish.
There is one important reason why
the Democrats should settle among
themselves as soon as possible who our
candidate for this high positions is to
DC, lOI uNUu ulIn VIII ltlt Int Diulit "
the battle in the coming campaign.
And that reason is this: there are vol
umes Of literature touching the condi
ton of our STATE, of which the Demo-
Gratis are proud that their candidate
should refresh his recollection upon,
and then it viii be important Tor him
to read up on the proceedings of the
last Congress, which will be found in
the heat of the next campaign to con-
tain some very interesting reading
matter. To do this will require time.
r emember that the Republican leaders
have selected and slated their candi-
date for Gubernatorial honOrs months
ago, perhaps a year. If the rank and
file OF their party shall ratify that Sc
lection and stating. their candidate will
have had ample time for reading up,
From my knowledge OF campaigning,
il would be unfortunate for any gentle
man to accept a nomination upon the
spur of the moment for any import
ant position"
There was almost equal unanimity
among those spoken to regarding the
denomination of Judge Bennett for the
judgeship.

Parkersburg, w. Va, May 29.-John
Rost. the old farmer who was paid
81, 900 cash bonus for his farm near the
Ogdin oil fields recently, narrowly es-
capped being victimized out of portion
OF his money by bunco men to-day.
stranger appeared AT the old Germans
home and desired to be shown through
the Gil field Rost consented, and
when a short distance from his home
was met by another stranger who said
he had Just disposed OF mineral land IN
land, and had the money in a yalise
which he carried, and at the same time
exhibited large roll Of bills.
Stranger No. 2 had learned a new
trick in his travels, and at once opened
a game with the man accompanying
Rost, who won $500, and Rost also won
$500. The fellow with the game then
wagered $4,000 that he could do the
same thing, and invited Rost to go in
on the deal. Rost consented and they
won $4,000 and the cash was counted
out, but the stranger would not pay at
once unless Ross could show that in
case he had lost that he could have paid.
Rost was unsuspecting, and said he had
the cash in bank and would produce 1t.
The stranger agreed that the money
Rest won should be locked up in a
satchel and given to Rost to bring to
town, where he should produce 81 800.
The stranger with the game got into
the buggy with them and they all start
ed to town, but after going short dis
lance one Of them got out, stating that
he was too tired to come to town. Rost
and the other fellow drove to town.
At the corner of Fourth and Avery
the stranger told Rost to go to the bank
and get his 81 500, and meet him again
at that point. He gave Rost the satchel
telling him that he could keep it until
his return. Rost made out check for
$780, and when entering the bank met
a friend and informed him of his good
luck. The friend was suspicious and
persuaded Rost to inform the officers,
who. together with Rost, started to tha
place of meeting agreed upon. The
bunco artist espied the two and whipped
I'D his horse and escaped The valise
given Rost was opened by City Detec-
hive Mehen and contained two tin boxes
one of these boxes containing brick
and the following note: you have
gambled your money away, so now
kick. You thought you were taking adj
vantage OF poor, ignorant fool and you
were the one; so now tell all your neigh
bors and friends what a scoundrel you
have been and let the newspapers write
you up and inform your wife, son,
friends and neighbours what villain you
are. You can save this box to look at. }"
The other box contained three pack
ages of Confederate bills; on the outside
of each package was good bill, $40 in
all. There were several blank United
States bonds for 81 900 each, one rail-
road bond for $1,000 and three or four
bogus deeds, all of which had been ex-
hibited to Rost at the time the game
was played
Detective Mehen thinks the scheme
was concocted by local buncoists.

Only waiting till the shadows
Are a little longer grown,
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam is flown;
Till the night OF earth is faded
From this heart once full of day,
Till the dawn of heaven Is breaking,
Through the twilight soft and gray.
Only waiting till the reapers
Have the last Sheaf gathered home,
For the summer time hath faded
And the autumn winds are come.
Quickly. reapers. gather quickly
The last ripe hours or my heart
For the bloom Of life is withered,
And | hasten 10 depart.
Only waiting till the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
At whose feet / long have fingered
Weary, poor and desolate.
Even now ! hear their footsteps
And their voices far away:
If they call me ! am waiting
Only waiting to obey.
Only waiting till the shadows
Are q little longer grown,
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam is flown:
Then from out the folded darkness
Holy, deathless stars shall rise,
BY whose light my soul will gladly
Wing her passage 10 the skies.
