SMITTEN WITH EMERODS.
This Bible Plague Was the Same Ms the
DubonIc One.

Not long ago certain scientists were
satisfied with having. to their own
satisfaction, proven that the bubonic
plague existed 300 years before Christ.
But lately other scientists. namely,
Drs. +. Tidswell and ]. A. Dick. have
brought before the Royal Society Of
New South Wales evidence to show
that the epidemic OF 1l4l before Christ
described in the first book of Samuel
Chapters and 81 was true bubonic
plague, After the Philistines had cap
tured the ark of the covenant and
taken 1t to Ashdod severe illness
broke out among the people. The
hand OF the Lord was heavy upon them
OF Ashdod, and he destroyed them and
smote them with emerods." The ark
was afterward taken to Ekron, and
here again we are told. There was
deadly destruction throughout all the
city " and the men that died not
were smitten with emerods. and the
cry OF the city went up to heaven"
The word "emerod" has usually been
taken to mean hemorrhoids, but in
the revised version OF the old tasta-
ment II is stated to mean tumor or
plague boil. The epidemic in Phllistia
occurred at the time OF the regular
plague season. and mice are mentioned
in connection with 1t, which furnishes
additional evidence that the epidemic
was plague for a connection between
the death of rats and plague at Bonn
bay and elsewhere has been clearly e.
tabllshed. Taking all the facts into
consideration. there appears to be con-
tanned in the few chapters of /. Sam
uel on account OF bubonic plague that
occurred more than 5000 years ago,
or more than 500 years previous to the
hitherto accepted historic record

tried to force an entrance into Sisk
Bros. store at this place. q. A.
Lee and G. w. Bradbury were in
the store at the time and fired six
shots at the burglar. There was
no evidence this morning that the
shots had taken effect until word
was received from Nandalia that II
man supposed to be tramp was
there, badly wounded, saying he
had been shot at Farber. The
man was shot twice, but will prob
ably recover. He is about 10
years old.

The late luke of Brunswick pos
sessed collection of gems valued at

service of electric bells. in addition to
a perfect arsenal OF revolvers guaran-
teed to operate with deadly effect upon
the unauthorized intruder, Long did
the world of rascaldom sigh in vain.

session, tried, and sentenced to twenty
years hard labor.
