Mirrors that one can see through
are new invention already coming
into use. They are of so-called plat
inized glass;" being backed with a
compound made of 95 per cent silver
and per cent platinum, and, optical
ly speaking, they are exceedingly Gu
rious and interesting. Looking into
a glass of this kind one finds first
rate reflection; it is mirror and
nothing more. At the same time, a
person on the other side can see di-
rectly through it.

Stockmen at Lookout, CAL, Hang

TAKE then FROM JAIL At MIDNIGHT.
Eour Of the Victims an Old Man and
His Three SOns-NO Ceremony
Marked the ActlOn-COnstable In
able to Save the Men from their
Fate.

thieves were lynched at midnight at
Lookout, Modoc county, a district
which has always been noted for
quiet and good order. The lynching
was done by so small stock raisers,
but none of the vigilantes were
identified by the constables and his
one assistant, whom they overPow-
cred.
Calvin Hall, aged u, his three half
bred sons, Frank, aged 26; Jim, aged
10, and Martin, aged IL, and Dan
Yantis, aged p, were the victims.
Stolen Articles Found.
The charge against Halls sons and
Yantis was burglary, while against
Hall it was petty larceny. Many
small articles had been missed re-
Gently, among others hay forks, barb
wire and harness. These were found
in Halls house, along with halters,
dishes and table cloths. All five
were arrested and taken to Adm, the
county seat of Modoc county, and
placed in charge of the constable and
one guard.
Taken from Jail.
= Fifty masked men, heavily armed,
took the prisoners from Jail soon
after midnight and within few min
utes the five bodies were hanging
from bridge near the Jail. The
vigilantes quietly assembled before
the building where the victims were
confined and there was little indica-
ton of organization or leadership.
Inside the building Hall and his sons
were quietly sleeping. One of the
constables in charge of the men was
called to the door, and as he opened
it he was quickly seized and a rush
made for the prisoners. No opposi-
ton was encountered and the men
were quickly hurried to the open air.
Halls youngest son made desper-
ate struggle and was killed before
the bridge was reached.
No Mercy shown.
Old man Hall was the first one
strung up. NO ceremony marked the
action. The rope was simply thrown
around his neck and 20 willing hands
grasped it and jerked the unfortunate
man from his feet. The loose end
was tied to convenient fence post
and the victim, with his hands and
feet tied, was left to strange. The
execution of the other men was Prac-
tically a repetition of that of the
elder Hall.
Scene of the Tragedy.
Lookout is in the Hot Springs val
lev on the Pitt river. The residents
are nearly all cattle raiscrs in mod
crate circumstances. Several weeks
ago Sheriff Hager, of Modoc county,
was killed by his team running away

many breaches of the law in that

The effect of this decision is to con"

Temperature over Most of State Rises
Above 100 Degrees.
The Illinois crop bulletin says of
the week ending July 10:
The weather has been very hot
during the past week. the temperature
over most of the state rising above
100 degrees on several days. The
nights have, however, generally been
moderately cool. There has been a
total absence of rainfall, and the
drouth and heat have com bined to
cause considerable damage to vegeta-
ton. The conditions have been favor
able to hsying, harvesting and thresh-
ing, and this work has progressed very
rapidly. Continued favorable re-
ports as to the yiold and quality of
calities the yield of wheat already
threshed has exceeded expectations.
Unfavorable reports regarding this
crop have been received from but few
correspondents. Oats have suffered
from the hot. dry weather. In many
places they have ripened too rapidly
and did not fill properly. In many
localities, however. the yield will
be fair to good, though generally the
straw is short. Harvest has progressed
rapidly, and some oats have al
ready been threshed. Corn has suf-
fered considerably because of the heat
aud drouth, and the leaves are curling
quite badly. The injury, however,
is not general throughout the state,
for many correspondents say the crop
is doing splendidly, while very many
more say that, while the damage is
siderable, the crop is not beyond
recovery IL rain comes soon. The
damage is greatest in the southern
district and in those parts of the GEN.
trail and northern district where local
showers had previously been least
frequent. Some damage by chinch
bugs is also reported. Haying ha.
been carried on rapidly, and
the crop, though generally light.
has been harvested in good condi-
tion. The hot weather has caused
considerable damage to young mea-
dows. Pastures have dried up great
ly, aud are in bad condition. Much
stock is being fed. Generally favor
able reports of broom corn aud stock
peas have been received. Both gar
dens and potatoes have suffered great

damage to potatoes has come to be

considerably because of the heat.
Apples are falling rapidly, except in

WASHINGTON SEES A SHOW.
Hitherto Unpublished Incident, Being q
Story with q Moral.

| Hitherto Unpublished Incident, Being q
Story with q Moral.
Here and there a lighted torch
flickered in the darkness. All was
bustling activity and scores of busy
hands were putting away the mann
moth tents and paraphernalia of Gen
try Bros. famous trained animal
show. A midnight train had TO be
caught in order to get the great show
to the next town in time for the street
parade by noon. Two hours before
multitudes of people had reveled in
the beauties of the greatest show of
its kind in the world. and of the
many spectators all save one had
gone. The children-God b,ess them
were dreaming of fairyland and
wondering if they would ever
soc such beautiful sights again. Papa
and mamma were also asleep and
even Pinto, the smallest elephant in
captivity, was also in repose. The
exception was an old. decrepit dar-
key, of the antebellum type, to whom
Mr.. Gentry had given the hay on the
lot not eaten by the ponies and ele-
plants. That the old man was happy
was obvious For one night, at least,
he and his children had enjoy ed them
selves as much as any millionaire in
the land. Once or twice before he
had seen the Gentry show, but this
time it had been more wonderful than
ever, besides being over twice as
large. As he gathered up his harvest
by the aid of the circus lights, from
his lips there floated a melodious lul-
laby, the sweetness Of which was lost
upon the dreaming piokaninnies in the
nearby cabin, which attracted the
attention of the writer to the singer.
Surprising that Uncle Ned would suf-
flee, he was addressed by this familiar
George Washington,
Jr., sar, if you please" corrected the
old harvester, as he rose to as much
dignity as his big bundle of hay
would permit.
''And what portion of the perform
ance did George Washington fancy
most?" was asked the father of his
country. His reply was probably the
same, barring phraseology, which his
namesake of cherry tree
fame would have made had he seen
the show this season He said: Il
liked it all de best" The stake and
chain wagon was leaving the lot and
the press agent went in one direction
and George W, Jr., in another, and
the busy scene of a few hours since
was as quiet as Philadelphia at noon
day. All of which is preliminary TO
the announcement that Gentry Broth
ers' world famed trained animal eX-
hibition, bigger, brighter and grander
than ever before, will exhibit in this
city tomorrow, giving only two per-
furmances.
