BIBLICAL HISTORY CITY

London, Jan. 22.-Hamadan,

Persia has occupied, figures in Bibli-
cal as we'll as early Grecian history.

treasure city captured and plundered

sham. where Ahasuerus, who "reign-
ed from India even into Ethiopia, y
gave way to the caprices of Vashti
and was induced to relent by the at
traction of Esther.
Il At Hamadan pious Jews still point
out the tombs of Mordecai and Es-
Their. which stand in a wooden-dom-
ed building in the center of the
town. There is no doubt that the
two wooden sarcophagi shown there
are ancient, but there is some ques-
ton of their being what tradition as
cribes. They bear Hebrew inscrip-
tons, one said to be of A. ID. 557
and the other SAL A. d. Near the
city large mound is pointed out as
the site of the palace of Ahasuerus.
A crudely carved lion, on the site,
is the subject of much legend also.
Five miles from Hamadan, in 4
mountain gorge, is a famous stone

A COUNTERFEIT 50
NOTE IN CIRCULATION

Local banks and money handlers
in general are in receipt of informa-
ton that the United States Govern
ment has announced the discovery
of a new counterfeit So national
bank note. Its description is as fol-
lows: 1t is on the Wallace National
Bank, Wallace, Idaho; series OF
19O2-190S; check letter omitted /;
charter number 91S4; bank number

The counterfeit is said to have
been issued from poorly executed
