Christian Herald: In an ancient
Samaritan synagogue at Schechem a
double roll of parchment Is guarded
jealousy and is zealously preserved.
1t was to Schechem that Abraham
came in his first visit to Canaan.
Near Schechem Jacob sank his fam
GUS well, and the returning Israelites
heard here for the last time the
voice Of Joshua. Schechem was the
first residence of the kings of Israel
and was city Of refuge. Here at
Jacobs well Jesus met the woman OF
Samaria. Here the great Justin
Martyr was born. After the division
of Israel into two Kingdoms Sche-
chem became the religious center Of
the northern kingdom, and Zero
boam's self-appointed faith degener-
ated into It's Samaritan worship OF
our Lords day, which is perpetuated
in the old synagogue which holds
this scroll. This double roll Of parch-
uent, possibly the oldest in thu
world, contains the first five book
of the old testament, and may be as
old as the days of jeremiah.

newspaper, whose account of the
affair follows:
Having heard that there were sew.
eral persons in Fort Madison who
have been in the habit of bringing
large quantities of liquor into tho
state, the officers decided to test the
truth of the reports, and accordingly
Chief of Police Schier and a state
agent stationed themselves on the
bridge Saturday evening and remain
ed there until three o'clock Sunday
morning.
Each car that crossed the bridge,
coming from the Illinois shore, was
carefully searched for any indica-
tons Of hidden liquor. and If no
booze was found. was allowed to
move on its way.
The first and only victims Of the
long vigil of the officers were two
local negroes. Walter Arnold and
Robert Goodwin, who were returning
to this city from Nauvoo with a car
well loaded with forbidden beverages.
The negroes, who have long been
thought to have been conducting
bootlegging joint in the 500 block on
Front street. were promptly taken
into custody by the local and state
officer. and removed to the police
station.
Deputy u S: Marshal D. C. Crow
