OHIO STATE MILITIA
FIRES ON THE MOB
Attempt to Take a Negro From Jail
Proves Disastrous to the
Crowd.
SEVERAL CITIZENS ARE SHOT
City Is Wild With Excitement and
n Mol Threatens Vengeance
on the 'Miiitia--Troubie
Is Looked for.

Urbana, o., June 5.-The climax OF
the Mitchell outrage occurred at 2:31
o'clock this morning when the militia
opened fire on a mob that was trying 10
break into the jail to get Click" Mitch.
ell, the colored assailant Of Miss Elisa
Gaumer, white. Mitchell was tried and
sentenced to twenty years in the peni-
Tertiary yesterday, n it was thought
that this would allay the excitement and
prevent a lynching. but late last night
Il mob gathered at the jail n demand
ed that the prisoner be turne oven TO
them. For two hours the jail was sur
rounded by a bowling mob of at least
1000 To 1900 people. Advances were
made so close To the guards that they
at last opened fire upon the crowd, ana
at least twenty ind were fired.
The first shot resulted In the death OF
Harry Bell of this city being shot
through the head II killed Instantly.
a young man named Hagins was
shot through the body and killed in"
stantly.
Dennis Grancey of Urbana was shot
In the right foot.
DR.. Charles Thompson of North Lew
isburg, received a slight wound in the
forehead.
Wesley Bowenn of Gable, was shot
In the hip and wounded seriously.
Ray Dickinson, living near the city,
was shot In the shoulder.
Ray Mcclure of Urbana, was shot
through the right arm.
Charles Weser, who was standing on
the street, received a slight wound OF
the face, and John Wank was shot In
the foot.
When the shooting occurred a crowd
OF 1000 people stood congregated round
the Jail. 1t had been rumored that an
attempt would be made to take Mitch
ell from the Jail and hang him. The
crowd was more boisterous than at any
time since the prisoner had been con-
fined in the Jail. 1t was bowling for the
prisoner, and seemed determined to Sc
cure him. 1t had crowded into the jail
yard and was crowding toward the Jail.
Captain Geo. w. Leonard, in command
of the militia, addressed the crowd and
gave 1t three minutes to dispense. There
was a general rush from the jail yard,
but the crowd again returned.
The noise had subsidized, the demon
stration was less pronounced. fully a
half hour had elapsed from the time the
~ wa bANNh 80 - $500 -
musketry was heard. Volley after vol
ley was fired. until as many as twenty
shots had been fired into the crowd.
There was a general panic for awhile
and the dead and wounded We're carried
in every direction in search of doctors
offices. DR.. Robert Henderson, DR.. III.
NJ. Pearce, DR.. j. c.. Burcher and DR..
Ravens were all called into service and
their offices looked like a regular hospi-
tai.
Trouble has been looked for during
the night, and 1t was feared that the
militia would 20 too far and fire into
the crowd. The streets are crowded
and the most intense excitement pre-
walls. Now that the people have seen
their nelghbors shot down, the feeling
Is getting very intense. The people are
terribly worked up, and there may be
serious trouble.

Beauty Not Even Skin Deep.

Vanity furnishes the inspiration for
many of the inventions of the patent
Office. One of these is IL mask of very
thin rubber, designed to be worn on
the face at night. 1t causes profuse
perspiration, which washes impurities
out of the skin and makes the complex
ion clearer. Sun tan is quickly re-
moved, 30 il is claimed.
Another device, for producing dim
Piles, is "A woman's idea. 1t is a wire
mask, likewise to put on when going to
bed. BY an arrangement of screws
pencils of wood. very blunt, are made
to press upon the cheeks aud chin at
the points where dimples are desired.
Uncomfortable Why, of course. But,
as the French say, it is worth while to
suffer for beauty's sake.
False busts, hips and calves are made
of rubber, to be blown out like balloons
and in many other styles, while the
young lady Of build hopelessly skelc-
tonesque may procure a complete
stuffed jacket, which fills out her form
at every point to the extent requisite
for counterfeiting desirable embonpoiEt.
If N is SO unfortunate as to lack a
nose he can obtain "a false one of papier
mache, artfully enameled to initiate the
skin. One kind of imitation proboscis
is attached to a spectacle frame, so that
the owner puts on his counterfeit nasal
organ in adjusting his glasses.
Masculine vanity is concerned in the
genesis of about eighty patents for VA
rious kinds of mustache guards. One
such is a gold plate with a spring, which
may be fastened to any drinking vessel
ut a moments notice.
Another is specially designed for beer
glasses. A tube connecting with it
goes down deep into the beer, so that
the mustached drinker is able to avoid
the foam.
Other guards are destined to be worn
like spectacles somewhat, with wires to
pass to the back of the ears of the
wearer, and hold them on. The shield
for the mustache is of gold or silver, or
of fine pold-wire net,

Reckless Discipline OF "a soIdie

AT S~ebastopol, during the siege, a
Capt. Samoilog, wishing some wine,
ordered an officer to send a man after
IL. h man, a young soldier, took the
money and started to do the errand.
just then, however. a French battery
had concentrated its fire upon the very
spot where the young man must 90
outside the works. He stopped and
then turned back. 81 wouldn't 90 out
there for the world!" he said.
The officer, of course, reported tho
act of di~sobedience to the captain. The
captain, in a rage, ordered the man in
to bis presence and demanded why he
had not obeyed his captains order.
81 beg you to pardon me, captain, but
| was terribly afraid"
Afraid" cried the captain. Afraid!
A Russian soldier afraid! Wait a min
ute! | will drive the fear out Of YOU.
Come with me-"
The captain led the way to the ram
part, mounted it and there, with the
bullets raining round him, began put
ting the la through some military ex-
e~rciseS. The lookers-on in the fort held
'hS'i bACbth' IL ~ utl was pun Ou u
bayonet and lifted above the walls the
bullets came that way on the instant.
Not many seconds elapsed before a
bullet struck the captain in the arm.
He did not vince but kept on with the
drill, while the blood dripped down his
hand to the wall.
Next "A bullet went through the tail OF
the soldiers coat and another through
his knapsack. Then suddenly the lir
ing ceased.
The soldier begged for grace and
promised to go wherever he was sent.
Still the captain continued his drill.
When he thought the lesson had been
learned, or, perhaps, when his arm
grew too painful, he dismissed the sol
der and went himself to the surgeon
and had his wound dressed.
The French explained afterward that
they ceased firing out o; sheer astonish-
ment at the sight of the two men ex-
posing themselves SO recklessly.
IF they had been English, instead of
French" concludes the Russian officer
who tells the story and who evidently
has a prejudice against John Bull, they
would have killed our brave captain
past a doubt. - YOUTHS Communion.

the public, there has been a constant
stream of people entering and leaving

merely curiosity seekers, anxious to
view the handsome architectural fea-
