ing was 800 B. c., the theory of an al
phabet before this period was looked upon
by scholars as a matter of pure conjec-
ture and the signs were generally regard
ed as having been derived from Egyptian
hieroglyphics A belief in regard to the
alphabet which has been commonly ac-
cepted up 10 the present time is that the
letters or characters of the alphabet were
originally hieroglyphics, and in their long
course down to us they passed gradually
from being the written expression of an
idea into the written expression each Of
a single sound.
p Last seasons excavations, however,
conclusively established Professor Pc
tries original belief On uncovering some
of the royal tombs dating back 10 the XII
Dynasty, 1900 to 1900 B. c., he again found
large numbers of signs and letters upon
the pottery and other utensils in the tomb
chambers. The fact that the hierogiyphic
system was not In the land at this period
removed the signs altogether from cate
CORY of deteriorated hieroglyphs.
By a fortunate coincidence MIR. Arthur
Evans, the well known British archeolo-
gist, was at the same time carrying on a
series of excavations on the Island Of
Crete In the Mediterranean. On the tab
let's, rock pillars, coins and other objects
unearthed In the ancient remains of a
huge palace Mr.. Evans found number OF
identical signs and letters of a period
about 200 b. G. which correspond with
those dug up in Egypt by Professor Pc
trie. Professor Petrie collected his Egyp-
tian signs and letters and compared them
with those OF the Kretan form unearthed
by Mr.. Evans. This resulted in the start
ling and significant discovery that the let
ters of the Kretan signary and those OF
Egypt were identical and formed a most
reliable basis for esta blishing the exist
ence OF the alphabet long prior to the date
hitherto accepted
Prof. Petrie assumes that we are now
In the presence OF a widespread and long
lasting system Of signs or signary which
was common to the Mediterranean from
Spain TO Egypt. He arrives at this con-
clusion as follows: As early as 5000 3. G.
some trade existed around the Mediterra-
mean as proved by the imports into
Egypt. At that time the slgnary or signs
OF the alphabet was probably In the dim
and uncertain beginning OF its course
Some few signs have already been found
at that age, and these are likely to have
been carried, therefore, from land 10 land.
The signary continued and developed
held together a good deal by intercourse,
but with much variation In different
lands. BY $500 B. G. It contained over a
hundred signs IN Egyptian form. Prof
Petrie states that the great systematlsing
force which gave II a unity unknown be-
fore was the application Of the signs as

the report says:
ave diligently inquired into the
matter OF the lynching OF James
Brady on the morning OF October 2,
1901, having In this connection ex-
amined IS witnesses including the
officials OF the sheriff's office, and OF
the city police force, but have elicited
no evidence that would warrant us
In finding an indictment against any
person for completely In this crime.
"We must, however, severely con-
denim the sheriff of Lewis and Clarke
county for not having taken proper
precaution to protect from mob vio-
lence the prisoner, Brady, who wnsin
his charge. and we recommend the
immediate dismissal Of the night
jailer, George Mahrt, he having
shown himself incompetent and an
unsafe man to hold 50 responsible a
position.
Further, we censure Policeman
Salisbury for the appathy shown on
the morning Of the lynching, and we
recommend to the city authorities the
dismissal Of policeman Weisner, for
gross neglect Of duty on the same
