WORLDS OLDEST CITY
UNEARTHED IN BABYLONIA.
Ancient Adab Discovered by Chicago
University's Excavating Expedition.

Chicago, July 19.-Udnunki,
the ancient Adab, perhaps the
Oldest city in the world, has been
discovered by the University of
Chicago's excavating expedition
in Babylonia. This city has for
many years been the object of
search by orientalists. 1t is men,
toned in the code of Ham
murabi, an early King of Baby
lonia, which document was trans
lated recently by Prof. Robert
+. Harper, director of the ex-
petition. He has just received
the news here in a cablegram
from Prof. E. j. Banks, field d.
rector of the expedition, who,
since leaving this country last
winter for Bismia, In Bah lonia,
has announced many important
discoveries. The uncovering of
ancient Adab is one of the most
important archaeological achieve
ments of recent years.
DIR. Banks informed Prof. Har-
per that he had found bricks
bearing the syllables Ud-Nun-Ki
at the lowest level of the ruins.
He is certain that these bricks
identify the city of Adab. With
a force of 120 men he excavated
the ruins at Bismia and found
the remains of four temples built
one above the other, which he
named according to the Kings
who built them. The dates be-
came earlier until finally the
bricks identifying Udnunki were
found. Among the other articles
which DIR, Banks found are mar
BILE statues, onyx and sandstone
lamps and many bronze objects.

What are we to do? Disease
germs are in water, wine, whis.
key, beer, cider, milk and what
ever we drink from thirst or
pleasure. They are in bread,
meats, fruits, vegetables, sugar,
honey, molasses and whatever
we eat from hunger or delight.
So say scientists. Our fathers
and mothers knew nothing of
these germ destroyers of health,
happiness and life, so they ate,
drank and made merry to a good,
peaceful old age. But we know
and fear to eat, drink or sleep,
for they are in the air we
breathe, in the sunlight that
warns our blood and in the
darkness that chills our body.
Some people know too much, or
make believe they do; some
people know too little, or think
they do. Such is man, possibly
woman also, a mass of preten-
tions, high or low.

onville in a Buggy.

While Theo Watts and wife
and baby were returning from
Madisonville in a buggy Tues
day and were coming down the
long narrow hill the other side
Logtown they heard a buggy
coming up rapidly behind them.
For few moments they paid no

some one driving rapidly and ex-
pecting them to slack their gait
every minute, but as they made
no halt and were getting quite
near Mr.. Watts looked back to
see who it was and discovered a
horse attached to buggy COM
ing at full speed without a
driver. He Immediately pulled
his horse to one side to get out
of the way and the driverless
horse shot by catching his bug
gy with the hubs and nearly up
setting it. If it had not been
for the presence of mind and
quick action of Mr.. Watts the
accident might have resulted

Marion Party Poisoned by Going il
Swimming.

Last week, Charles Moore,
Robert Haynes and Thos. Hearin,
of Marion, KY, and Jas. Daugh-
trey, of Ford's Ferry, took their
guns, poles and baskets to spend
a few hours IN the woods and by
the numerous small lakes near
Hebron. After spending several
hours hunting and fishing, they
all took a bath In one of the
lakes.
Before leaving the water, red
spots began to appear on James
Daughtrey. Little was thought
of it at the time, but since their
return to the city of Marion,
Messrs. Moore, Haynes and
Hearin have found out that the
water poisoned them.
The lake, not having a stream
of fresh water circulating
through it and being surrounded
by vines and foliage, it is sup
posed that the fuzz from the
vines and vegetation containing
certain poison elements around
the lake, had settled on the sur
face of the water.
The bodies of the gentlemen
are covered with large, red spots,
but as they are not very irrita-
ting, it is thought that they will
soon disappear. At this season
of the year it is not wise to go
bathing in small lakes and ponds
unless fresh streams run through
them.
