Kimball Is. d. Graphic: while
the columns of the Graphic are open
to any and all unobjectionable adver-
tisements. yet it is quite impossible
for us to speak knowingly of the merits
of the various articles of merchandise
advertised. Particularly is this true
of patent medicines. But there are
exceptions occasionally and a note
worthy exception is the celebrated
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This
now universally Known medicine has
been advertised in the Graphic for four
or five years, but not until recently
had we any personal knowledge OF It's
wonderful efficacy, which has come
about through the prevailing influenza

often attended it. In the writer's
family this medicine has on several
occasions this winter cured a cough
that baffled any and all other RENE
dies: ard the number of families in
Kimball and vicinity in which this
medicine has been used with like
effects attests to its value as specific

TIE RECORD.

New York Herald.l
Mr.. Reed makes interesting and
audacious speeches. The other
day he askeda company of Chicago
Jacobins what the Democrats had
ever done except to criticise and
break down. To the Republican
party, he said, belonged all the
honor, all the achievements associ-
ated with American history.
For cool, Impairment insolence
it would be hard to parallel this
statement. What are the achieve
ments Of American history? First,
the creation Of the Commonwealth
Of the Northwest by the severancy
Of Virginia. This was done by
a Democrat, Thomas Jefferson.
Then the purchase of Louisiana
from Napoleon, giving us the con-
troll Of the Mississippi River anda
magnificent empire, sweeping from
the Gulf of Mexico to the Canada
line. This was done by Demo-
crat, Thomas Jefferson. Then the
annexation of Florida entirely the
work of Democrat. Andrew Jack
son. Then the coming in of that
noble Commonwealth of Texas, a
territory larger then France the
work Of Democrat, James X.
Polk. The acquisition of our Pa
cifc States such an empire as
might have dazzled the magma
ton of Caesar the work of a
Democrat, James K. Polk. To the
Democrat Andrew johnson we owe
Alaska.
With this record of things done
the speeches of Robespierre Reed
are strangely out of place.

Huntingdon special to the American Nov. 21.1
The fears expressed in your cor
respondents special from here last
night, that mob would visit the
jail before day and make an effort
to limb the double murderer, Will
liam Widdis, were well founded.
About 8 o'clock as deputy sheriff
7. E. Grasty, city marshall Warren
Parsons, and Thomas Chance were
sitting in the jail discussing the
best method of protection to their
prisoner, four men, partially dis
guised, entered the Jail and
DEMANDED THE KEY
to Widdis' cell. The officers re-
fused to give them up, and, draw
ing their pistols, ordered them out
of the jail. After some parleying
they left, but only for reinforce
ment.
Knowing that the mob, when it
returned, would be composed Of a
sufficient number of determined
men to force the keys from the
jailer, the various doors Of the jail
were securely locked and the keys
carried up in town and hid, and all
waited patiently for
THE APPEARANCE OF THE MOB.
In short time the jail was sur
rounded and by IL o'clock they
wentto work in good earnestto force
an entrance. No effort was made
by the citizens to prevent it, be-
lieving it would be almost the same
as impossible for them to break the
: two large iron doors leading into
the main prison. For four long
hours they battered the doors with
; sledge hammers before they gave
way.
The mob was composed of about
FORTY WELL ARMED MEN,
and more or less disguised. They
had the jail surrounded for some
time and would let no one 90 nea-
them, but toward the last they be
came more Indifferent, and a few O
the citizens whom the mob knew
were allowed to enter the Jail.
Your correspondent passed tn,
lines, went to where the men wer,
pounding on the doors and asked
! the privilege of interviewing tn,
prisoner before he was mobbed
One Of them remarked that "w,
,, want no DIN newspaper mel
around here" but another, VIII,
seemed to be the leader assured M
that the privilege would be grantee
. and for me to take my stand at tn
! foot Of the steps, and SO soon as tn
door was broken in sufficiently t,
get him out might talk with him
By this time the hole was larg
enough for a man to crawl through
and man who had labored harde
! and abused Widdis more than an,
. one else was the first to go through
, a privilege he had asked all along
. AS he landed IN the prison wher
, Widdis was, a pistol shot was hear
: and the man cried,
ct AM SHOT,"

: be gotten out of him only that h
a was not hurt much.

t started through, and another pistc
r shot rang out on the night air, TO
