Fig Against Big Odds.

Cloud Chief, o. T., April 12.-The Her
ald-Sentinels issue Of last Friday states,
| Last night just at dark our town was
! thrown into great excitement on hearing
the cry of murder at the Jail. G. NJ.
Stewart was taking an evening walk
down by the jail, when, hearing a shot
inside and seeing a prisoner running
away, he jumped to the conclusion that
the jailor had been shot and began
shouting murder, which, followed by re-
peated firing Of guns on the outside, soon
brought large crowd 10 the scene, when
the following particulars were learned:
THE prisoners took a wire off the
prison broom and attached 1t TO the cell
brake and carefully creased the brake,
and when Under Sheriff T. A. Lawrence
placed the brake to fasten the prisoners
in the back cell and open the door to put
their supper IN It's accustomed place, one
Of the prisoners asked him 10 get him a
drink, and as he stopped TO get the buck
ct taey jerked the wire releasing the
door and jumped upon him, striking him
in the head Uwice with an iron stove
poker. Partially recovering himself he
got his gun and fired one shot but by
this time four of the prisoners were upon
him and overpowered him, taking his
gun and attempting to put him in a
cell, but he made such a desperate fight

door. Though disarmed and bleeding. I

A PIONEER SHOEMAKER.
WORKING At HIS TRADE ALTHOUGH E|GRTYIFI ' YEARS old.
Mt. James Mchilen. Of Champaign, Has Followed the ShoemakeTs
Trade All His Life Every Day at His Bench Working with Appar.
endythe Same Vigr as Young Man-A Sketch Of hislfe.
From the Gazette Champaign, III.

At the advanced age Of eighty.fve years,
James McMillen, Of 112 West Washington
street, is one Of the most active men in Cham.
paign, Illinois. Mr.. McMillen is a pioneer
citizen of the city, and his form is as familiar
on the streets as that OF any citizen of the
town.. All his life Mr.. McMillec has fol-
lowed the trade Of shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vigor he COM
manded when he was a young man.
He has a little shop on North Wright street,
in the vicinity Of the University of Illinois,
and he is the official shoemaker, as it were,
for the students of that institution.
About a year ago Mr.. McMillen was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
familiar form was missed along the streets.
The local newspaper announced that he
was dangerously i'll. For months he was Il
sufferer, but finally he appeared again at
his shop, and has lost but very few days
since then and none, perhaps, on account Of
him out again, and they were more surprised
There was no small amount Of local inter-
est in his case, and q reporter visited him,
to nave him relate the story.

"that l owe my life to DR.. Williams Pink

a physical wreck. l was suffering from u
disease of the kidneys. a thick scurf had
formed on the bottoms of my feet and my
ankles were terribly swollen and inhamed.
In fac, they reached such a condition that
could not walk, and it looked as though nv
days were numbered.

II read in the newspaper testimonials from
people who claimed to have been cured of
kidney trouble by the use Of DR.. Williams
Pills for Pale People, and thought that
it would do me no harm to give them q trial.
l bought a box Of them at the drug store and
began taking them according to directions.
1t may seem strange, but it is q fact that I
felt the benefit Of them almost az soon as I
began to take them. After l had taken q

as black as tar and ! noticed at the same
time that the pain and soreness were leav.

"A few days later the swelling began to 20
out of my ankles, and at the end Of FIVE
weeks it had entirely disappeared, taking
with it that terrible scurf which had formed
on the bottoms of M feet and caused me SO
much trouble. ] continued to gather my
lost strength, and at the end of six weeks I
felt entirely recovered and resumed my work

Mr.. McMillen's residence on West Wash

from his shop. but nearly every day he walks
the entire distance, morning and evening,
and he could not do this if that swelling
still existed.
