ESCAPED From Jail.

Quite q eommotion took place In town
yesterday morning. On the first ap-
pearance Of daylight some torn blankets
were discovered back Of our Jail. OF
course something was up. and inquiry
was on tip-toe. It was soon ascertained
that Joseph Hynan, who was indicted
by the last grand jury for house-break-
ing. had made his escape. BY some
means not yet explained he had worked
his way up 10 the roof Of the jail-some
thirty feet or more from the hoor-to a
skylicht, which no had broken. He
escaped from the main jailroom through
the ceiling, which Is about twenty hve
feet high. How no got there Is q won
der, and the only means OF reaching
there, that can DO imagined. was BY
climbing q half.inch gas rod which de-
sends from the ceiling. This brought
him In reach OF a heavy iron grating
oyer the main ventilator, which he must
have attached q support while removing
the ceiling boards. Three OF the ceiling
boards were removed. Through this hs
entered the attic. From thence he first
attempted to descend through the ven
tilator to a largo cell on . level with
the courtroom. Altar tearing on q
board from the fiue leading to the roof
down TO this cell. he was met by an in
surmountable obstacle in the way OF q
heavy iron grating. His next effort was
TO reach the skylight over the attic.
Here he made his exit; but by what
means is another mystery. as 1t Is
some twelve feet or more from the CELL
ing to the skylight. The iron bars COW
ering the skylight are just nine inches
apart, and between these. after breaking
the glass, which latter is half an inch
thick, he made his escape to tho roof.
He had taken with him three or four
blankets, with which he made q rope.
one end Of which he fastened to the iron
bars across the skylight, and by this
means lot himself down. On the table
in the Jail WIS found the following let
ter, addressed TO our Sheriff:
MESpocrSo Co., Cal, 1874.
Nj. Shsnf-Don't be uneasy about
me, as / went out q few days only, to
try to get my witnesses ready at the
coming term Of court. Tell District At
torney p g. Thorn that me and
him are sure to have q good shake hand
when I GENE back. Don't you fellows
be fretten about mt. l know you'll be
lonely without me.
JosEPu HrsAS, his honor.
There is ZONE disagreement in regard
to how he escaped. whether he had out.
side assistance or not. II he had had
outside assistance the chances are he
would not have risked breaking his
limbs by scaling the outside walls OF the
court-houss. M,ndocino Dispatch, Dec.
1911.

A Waons CUSTOM CORRECTED.

II Is quite generally the custom to

Of liver complaint, and both the mineral
and vegetable kingdoms have been dill
gently searched 10 procure the most
drastic and poisonous purgatives. in
order to produce o powerful effect upon
the liver and arouse tho tagging and en-
feebled organ. This system OF treat
ment Is on the same principle q that OF
giving o weak and debilitated man largo
portions Of brandy to enable him TO do
a certain amount Of work. When the
stimulsnt IL withheld, the organ, like
the system. gradually relapses into q
moro torpid or sluggish and weakened
condition than before. What, then, Ia

cause the bile to flow freely from the
liver. as that organ Is toned into action,
will not overwork and thus debilitate 1t,
but will, when their use Is discontinued,
leave the liver strengthened and healthy.

Loss of Stars.

There is a record of a star sudden
ly appearing in 1872, swelling out
with such magnitude and brilliancy,
that it was seen in the daytime.
Tycho Brahe, a Danish astronomer,
saw it and wrote an account of it.
1t was seen for year and five months,
and then died out, and has not been
seen since. Another in 1904 disap-
peared. In 1870 one became invisi-
BILE, then .as intervals for two years
was seen, and then was lost, as 1t
seems forever. So late as 1866 dim
star was noticed by astronomers,
grow to great brightness, then grow
dim again, and in four months was
lost. Several others, say ten or
twelve. were known and are gone.
What became of stars thus lost is
great mystery.

his feet re-appeared. then his legs and

no supernatural powers. How did he
do it' There was an Indian Jug
gler who had little den ON the Bow

was dirty fellow, and respectable
persons were not much disposed TO
venture into his place. A gentleman
told the writer that, moved by curl

No More Use for These Bonds.
fFrnm the \. Y Granhic.l

There is one unpleasant feature in
the money market which can not es-
cape notice. English and German
capitalists are sending back to this
country large quantities of United
States securities. This action is Of
course due to the recent Democratic
victories in Ohio and Indiana. Two
large and powerful States having
voted for semi-repudiation, foreign
ers have naturally taken the alarm,
and it is quite probable that should
the Democrats carry New York and
Pennsylvania there would be de-
cided fall in Government bonds. OF
course, we in this country know that
the bonds will be paid in gold. The
Democratic party in the East is a
hard-money party, while many of the
Western Republicans are tainted with
the reputation heresy. But in Eu-
rope capitalists will merely look at
the fact that Ohio and Indiana elect
ed candidates upon the platform
which proposes to break faith with
the bondhOlders, and we can not be
surprised if they hasten to get rid of
their bonds as soon as possible.
