A NOVEL SCHEME.
An English Company about to
 HepOpulate Arizona.
The Two Republics published at the

The Two Republics published at the City of Mexico says:
 It is stated by local contemporary that an English company has been or ganized for the purpose of colonizing the republic persons of Mexican origin now residing in the United States. Itseems that the company asks of the government few more privil- eges and exemptions for the colonists they propose to bring than are pro- vided for by the colonization laws. This project is one that will receive the endorsement of the Mexican peo. pie and may be encouraged by the government, but whether it is practica- ble or not is by no means cert ain There are doubtless persons of Mexi- can origin to be found throughout Cal ifornia, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. whose situation might be im- proved and who might better their condition by coming to Mexico, but their number is small and they do not, as rule, belong to thrifty class. Wages are good and abundant in the states and territories named and the the majority of industrious people, of all nationalities, are always able to earn good living. Of course the temptation which this scheme offers to people of Mexican origin to come under favorable auspicies to the land of their forefathers is strong, but it is by no means sure that those who are more or less prosperous can be induced to break up their homes in the United States and remove to Mexico where, notwithstanding their origin and their language, they would be strangers.

Macbeth's "pearl top" and "pearl glass" " lamp-chimneys are made of tough glass that costs four times as much as common glass; and the work on them costs a good deal more than the work on com mon chimneys, just as the work on a dress is propor- toned to cost of stuff.
 The dealer is right in saying he can't afford to sell them at the prices of common glass chimneys.
 And what will become of his chimney trade if his chim- neys never break ? He is apt to be wrong there. He can afford to charge a fair price and give new chimneys for all that break in use.
 Have a talk with him.

Literary Note.

In the January number of The Forum Dr. Austin Flint. of New York will publish an article on "The Revol, utions in Medicine" Dr Flint ex. plains the method not only of Dr Koch's treatment for consumption, but probable early extension of g similar system of treatment to most of the other diseases that are caused by ba- cili, such as diptheria, typhoid fever and measles, This IS perhaps the first comprehensive and philosophical ex- planation that has been made for lay readers, of the practical applications of the results of bacteriology.

Dan Shanklin Fires Five Shots One of Which Takes
 Effect.
Willis ;Unarmrd aud Unpre.
 pared for the Attack.

At three o'clock this afternoon . shot rang out from the interior of the O. K. Corral. In probably;ten seconds more followed in quick succession. A rush was made for the vicinity and Dr. Willis was found to be lying on the ground writhing in terrible agony while leisurely walking across the street was Dan Shanklin.
 No one seemed to know who had done the shooting until Fred Storer pointed to Shanklin and said 'Therc goes the man who did it if you want him." He was approached and in his pocket was found 38 calibre Colt pistol with 5 chambers empty. He said nothing but walked to jail as unconcerned as possible.
 It was thought at first that the doc tor was dead, but as he continued to breathe Dr. Goodfellow was summon ed and immediately set to work to stop the flow of blood. Mrs. Willis, the wife of the unfortunate man came down as soon as the news was carried to her and the heart-rending scene was too much for human en- durance and many turned their heads from the sight.
 From Fred Storer, the only eye wit ness as far as known, the PRosPEcToR learned that he had just hitched up the Doctors horse as hewas accustom- ed to do at that hour; that Dr. Willie came in as was usual and was handed the lines which were lay ing over the dash board. Whether the Doctor saw Shanklin coming or not Storer did not know, but the first he (Store) knew Shanklin appeared and placed a pistol over the dash board and fired. The Doctor uttered Q groan and reeled, falling out of the buggy. As he was falling the second shot was fired nearly hitting Storer and he got out of the way. The balance of the shots fired were shot probably when he was on the grounl. It is pretty certain that the first shot struck him in the groin.
 The cause which led to the shooting rose from the employment of Shank lin by Dr. Willis at the Old Guard mine. He owed Shanklin balance and the latter had had words with him often over it. Shanklin is nearly dead with consumption and wanted to get away. The inability to get his money caused him to worry and Dr. Willis was warned several days ago to look out for Shanklin or he would kill him, but he laughed at the warning.
 Shanklin's attorney visited him in his cell immediately after the shooting but nothing could be learned from him as to what Shanklin said or how he appeared.
 Later. - Additional information shows that the only shot which took effect struck the Doctor in the bowels and that after he fell from the buggy Shankliu walked around his body firing the bullets into him as he SUD- posed, but ;,one of them took effect.
 He has oeen removed to his resi- dence and everything possible done for him. Dr. Goodfellow shakes his head in a hopeless way but never gives up while speck of life is left; there is . faint hope for his recovery.

CHAPTER VIII.


With all his soldierly qualifications.
Col. Morris, like most of his sex, had
certain defects Of character He was a
tireless worker as regimental COM
mander, and had done a great deal to
bring up the '.tone" of the Eleventh,
which had suffered vastly during the
reign Of old Riggs, his predecessor. He
had won a good name as young officer
III the war days, and had borne himself
well in the more trying and hazardous
campaigns of the far frontier. But
Morris, both during the war and since,
had seen staff duty that had brought
him into social and political circles in
Washington; had learned there the
lesson that an ounce of influence is worth
a pound of pure record; that in most
matters affecting army legislation it was
the men who were the farthest away
from the army whose opinions congress
sought; that in all appointments to the
staff departments personal and profess
sional excellence might plead in vain un.
less backed by senators by the score;
and that while judicious use of the gifts
that God had put in his way in the shape
of the public press might result in the
gradual rearing of monument of popu-
lar esteem, a single unguarded word or
petu;ant expression would tumble the
whole fabric about his ears.
He had seen the highest names in legis-
lative, financial and social circles dragged
in the dust; the head of the house of
representatives dethroned; Wall street
monarch execrated; q gallant soldier,
MANNED in battle, ridiculed In com
bined and resistless assault the press had
overwhelmed the record Of years. Nor
ris had faced death in a dozen fields
without finch, but he trembled in the
presence of q reporter.
Nervous. irritable, and unstrung, he
called his officers about him on the fol-
lowing day. Guard mounting was still
in progress; the band was playing
sweetly on the grassy parade; the ring
ing voice of the soldierly young adjutant
swung the column around in its jaunty
march in review. Oneafter another the
troop and company officers came quietly
in, bade their flushed commander a
courteous good morning, and took their
seats. He was pacing the floor, tugging
at his mustache, another telegram in his
hand.
where's DR.. Ingersoll?" he asked,
suddenly stopping in his walk.
"Here, colonel" said the post surgeon,
stepping within the Office from the brick
pavement outside. II was waiting
moment to see the steward, to give some
directions as to Brent's case
'sAh, yes. He's better, believe. Now,
| see you have marked Welsh for duty,
and the man tells me he couldn't sleep
all night because of pains. and chills."
"Welsh is as well as am, Col Morris,
or if i'll has only himself to blame. He
knows as well as / do that he has no
business to go to the store and drink
when under treatment and taking medi-
cine. 1t is my firm conviction, sir, that
that man is simply trying to shirk."
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1891-03-26

"Well, well, DIR. Ingersoll, it is a mat
ter in which we cannot be too careful.
You haven't the faintest conception, sir,
to what this most unfortunate affair may
lead. It is infinitely better that we
should be imposed upon by shirk than
that the public should get to look upon
us as this mans prosecutors. The Pal
ladium that came yesterday was bad
enough, in all conscience, but here's an
other telegram from department head
quarters demanding immediate investi-
cation and report upon the allegations
contained in the second days issue of
the series. How many are there to be,
in heavens name? Mr. Hearn, have you
submitted your explanation? said the
colonel, turning abruptly upon the young
lieutenant, who was sitting in panied
silence by Capt. Lane.
1T is in the hands of the adjutant,
sir" answered Hearn, rising.
II have not seen it-I have not seen it.
| hope you have been full and explicit,
Mr.. Hearn"
The lieutenant's pale face flushed with
a sudden sense of Indignation:
II have never yet been accused Of any
attempt at concealment of my actions,
Col Morris. Gentlemen present who
have known me nearly six years will tell
you that"
''Tm not accusing you of anything,
Mr.. Hearn. Pray keep your temper, sir.
But you do not seem to appreciate in the
least the very trying and unpleasant po-
sition in which you have, however un-
Willingly, placed every officer at this
post, especially me, ON whom the bur-
den of responsibility must fall. If
had known four days ago that you had
used violence-or at least force-in eject
ing that soldier from the barroom, /
should certainly have discountenanced
his further punishment. This sort of
thing cannot be tolerated, Mr.. Hearn.
And, gentlemen, say it to you one and
all, this sort Of thing cannot be allowed.
1t creates wrong impression among the
people. 1t gives the press an opportu-
nifty to criticise our methods of discip-
line. 1t makes a martyr of the man in
the eyes Of the public, and we can't
stand it. 1 have felt compelled to re-
lease him from confinement and to di-
rect the quashing of the charges against
him.
There was moment Of dead silence.
Hearn was struggling to control himself
and to protest that he had used neither
violence nor any force worth speaking
Of But Capt. Brodie took the floor:
