I keep the morgue of a weekly newspaper in a small town. The mug shots of elected officials, performers, the convicted and the deceased are easily labeled. It's the old photos, with nothing noted on the reverse side, that are the most haunting in their mystery. Who are all those beautifully overdressed bicycle-club members? And did the timid child grow up to be as stern as the large woman on the porch beside her?

The shares of Semitool Inc. fell 15 percent yesterday after the company, a maker of semiconductor equipment, said it did not expect its earnings for the quarter ended Sunday to meet expectations. Stock in Semitool fell $1.875, to $11, in Nasdaq trading. Semitool said four tool orders valued at $5.4 million would be shipped in the fourth quarter, instead of the third. The higher cost of making new product lines will also narrow its margins, the company said. Semitool, based in Kalispell, Mont., said that orders for its tool product lines had increased its backlog by $20 million since March and predicted that its performance would improve in the fourth quarter.
