PRESCOTT, Ariz., Feb. 14.-Private
Reilly, G company, Eleventh infantry,
stationed at Whipple, who was shot in
the head and slightly wounded two
weeks ago by Frank McQuilken, a
gam bier, was shot four times and killed
last night by Frank Suffice, barkeeper
at the Royal saloon. Reilly had fight
with Suffice on the night he was shot
before, and while in the hospital being
treated for his wounds, sent word to Suf-
fee he intended to kill him. He was
discharged from the hospital few days
since and last night he came to town
and going to the saloon where Suffer is
employed, drew shot gun and COM
menced shooting. The latter returned
the fire with the results as above.
When the news reached Whipple OF
Rsilly's death it was only by great
precautions taken by Col. De Russey and
other officers that his comrades were
prevented from taking their guns and
avenging his death. Two officers with
drawn swords stood guard over the gun
racks of the company to prevent the
troops obtaining possession of ths1r
guns. The saloon in which the shoot
ing occurred is the same one in which
Reilly was shot before, and is in 8
disreputable portion of the town
Further trouble is feared.

The employees of the Bourn mill, at Fall River, Mass. ,s have received their ninth semi-annual dividend in the profit sharing plan that has been in use at the mill during the past three years. One family received $70 as it's share of the profits for six months, and other families received from $30 toI $5O each Individ- ual employees received from $3 to $10 each. These sums are independent of the regular wage list of the mill. George A. Chase, the treasurer, who has been mak- ing the profit-sharing experiment, express es himself as satisfied and will continue the plan another six months, the next payment to be made about the lstof July.

THE RED w ING.
 After getting a drink of water out of the barrel that hung under the wagon. left to seek assistance, bidding all be of good cheer, as relief would reach them in a few hours at furthest.
 struck out west, across the desert to the much travclcd California road. which wound along the foothills. Not a California team was in sight. Turn ing north on the road toward Virginia City. pushed forward in the hope of soon meeting string of teams headed for California.
 had followed the road leading to Virginia City about four miles, to 8 point almost in sight of Silver City. when tho music of bells greeted my ears bells such as are worn by the animals in the big 10, 12 and IA mule teams.
 Soon long string of big teams came in sight. rolling up with perfect crash of merrily iingling bells from behind piece of rising ground.
 On they came, filling the air with the music of scores of bells of different tones, till counted 13 great teams roll ing down the descending ground.
 As soon as had made known to the teamsters the condition of the emigrant family there was regular strife about going to their relief All were going back to California with empty wagons, and all declared they could as we'll as not take the little emigrant craft in tow their teams would never know it had been hooked on behind theni.
 Only q single team was needed. A fine. stFapping young fellow, about 25 years of age. was driving the leading team of the train. All the other team sters were much older and had about them s...:s subjugated look of married

A BEAUTIFUL DAWNING.
Light Sprung From The Darkness.

A GRAND AWAKENING WHICH SHALL LAST
 FOREVER. A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK THAN
 THE WORLD HAS EVER BEFORE KNOWN.
 Changes are constantly taking place which tend to make the world happier and to cause feeling of joy and content ment to pervade our lives. One of the greatest blessings which has fallen to mankind and which indeed is the dawning of a new era of life, has just taken place in the well known family of Mrs. Albert Blanchard, residing ot 359 Webster Ave. Chicago, Ill. She writes the following interesting letter:
 My health has been very poor for sev- eral years. I would have sinking spells and was so weak that could not hold my hand up to my head. I would have to lie down on the sofa and was so very ner- vous that 1 could not sleep nights My stomach troubled me all the time and my food distressed me so that was time and sometimes chills and fever with trembling and shaking I was also troubled with caturrh.
 II was so dizzy at times that 1 nearly fell I would grab at the chair and dark | spots appeared before my eyes. 1 could not begin to tell how 1 suffered. I was so sick did not enjoy life and was told that l could not live long.

Au this sGlO almost ct c JLGnce. ments stood gazing on the really dis dressing scene, yet no one broke the sor- rowful silence. They seemed persons who had seen so little of kindness and who had received so little and or sym pathy from any one that they had lost faith in their kind.
 At last I went up to the man seated on the small powder. touched him on the shoulder and said, Stranger, you appear to be about at the end of your string here.'
 "Yes, sir Clean done fori Clean done for!' giving me q single mourn full glance, then turning to pick ab- stractedly at thread in q blue jeans patch on the knee of his butternut trousers.
 At first felt like laughing as gazed upon the lugubrious faces all about me, but moments reflection showed me that, as the man said. they were 'clean done for, sure enough.
 Not man nor team was in sight in any direction. All about lay the sterile, waterless aikai waste, covered or rather made ragged by sparse growth of sagebrush.
 Have you any money, my friend. with which to buy another horse?'' at last asked, though felt that it was an idle question.
 "Money!'' cried the man. as though startled and shocked at the question, and he turned and looked me full in the face for the first time with wide open eyes. Money? No, sir. Not a cent, sir-not the first red centl That thar team was all totch from ole Mis- souri with me-it was my only hope.
 Again he relapsed, hung his head and resumed picking at the patch on his knee, just as though having said all that could be said in regard to the sit uation it was useless to waste breath in further talk.
 Istood. hesitating for moment and then again shook the man up: "Stran- ger, what do you think of doing? If you stay here, all hands of you will perish. This is terrible place, my friend!''
 "Wa-al.I kain't somehow think what ter do. " said the man, without raising his head. Pm CT tryin ter think. but somehow kain't t think. "

 Said Thomas: I must tell you plain i ly, mister, that We hain't set any inon- ey. We are''---
 "Oh, Mumford! Oh, Mumford!" cried the old grandmother. and squatting upon the ground she began rocking her self to and fro.
 Henderson wheeled about and sur veyed the rocking figure in amazement. Then ho began to look about in wild eyed fright. Seeing no ono rush to the old woman's assistance, he stepped to my side and asked: ''Is sho sick? Does the old lady have fits?'
 "Oh, no, whispered I. "A little pc culiar, that i3 all. Sho enjoys these lit tie tantrums.
 Enjoys them?"
 q suppose so. Mumford was her husband. They luried the old man at Green river"
 "Ah! Yes, yes, seev' said Tender son. Poor old lady! It sets her about crazy!'
 Mary and her mother had both been watching our movements from the wag- on front, the mother in her anxiety hav- ing left her couch and crawled forward on her knees. Evidently mother and daughter thought, on seeing Henderson turn away from Thomas and seeing the old lady again agitating herself upon the ground, that some hitch had occur red and that the teamster was, after all, about to drive away and leave them on the desert. l heard Mary say
 Il can stand it no longer, mother! must speak to him! He must llD us!' Then, leaving the sick child lcsido her mother, s.lo calno rushing to Henderson with flying hair and streaming eyes.

 "Oh. sir, ' said Hilary, TWO want to gc to California;"
 "But to what part of California, California is broad state.'' Mary hesitated, looked confused aud finally answered, "I don't know, sir we only started to go to California. Thomas was appealed to and said: "pon't know, mister, of any pertic'. Ter part-~we only jist started to go tc Caleforny."
 "Oh, Mumford! Oh, Mumford'' groaned the old lady. Henderson started at this second out break, gazDd curiously at the Mumford [ relict for a moment, then gave me 8 look that said more plainly than any words, "Rum old gal, ain't she?" "Well, said Henderson, gazing from face to face and addressing the family , collectively, "as you don't seem bound for any particular port. by the beard of Baalam. I'll just bundle you all up take you in tow of the Red Wing ant land you all on my ranch in Sacramen to valley. It's as good luck as any,"

 Near to this man-the head of the family-sat bundle-a bundle which 1 should not immediately have recog nized as human being had l not ob served pair of shriveled, clawlike hands clasped across what seemed the knees. There was something so weird about this object in it's shapelessness that, after 1 had discovered it to be alive and evidently human, it quite fas- cinated me- found myself constantly turning to watch it. A rather star ting phenomenon was that the bundle continually rocked to and fro and occa- sionally gave out some kind of mutter- ings, during the delivery of which it rocked quite violently. As the face and all the upper part of the body were covered with huge sunbonnet-a bon net to which was attached an extraor- dinarily voluminous cape-l arrived at the conclusion that the mumbling par ty'' before me was d woman and prob- ably the grandmother of the ''expedi- tion.'
 Two boys of about 8 and 10 years, each with his-t baggy tow linen trow- sers hitched up nearly to his chin, sat flat in the dust at the head of the dead horse, whose nose one of them was fondly stroking. The faces of both were smeared with dust and tears. and both were still quietly blubberlng and whispering together.

Her bonnet was off, and wealth of brown hair fell in waves over her shoulders and hung in tangles about her face. At glance it was to be seen that many cares and troubles had fallen upon this young girl, leaving her little time in which to think of herself or her personal appear ance.
 A little girl. with faxen locks hang ing about her eyes, was on her knees be- side the young woman. leaning over the end board of the wagon and gazing with blue eyes full of wonder upon all around-that is, when she was not en- gagged in gnawing, childlike. at the board upon the edge of which her two little brown paws rested.

 Gentlemen, as there is confound- edly good looking girl over there, and as most of you appear to be married men, suppose we say that this young buck goes?" pointing to my young chap.
 With shouts of laughter and many sly jokes, this was agreed to at once, and mounted to seat on the wagon of my young fellow to act as guide.
 My man had a team of 10 huge and splendid mules, all carefully selected and matched-a team worth a small fortune. Each mule wore housings of bearskin, and above the names of each rose steel bow filled with bells of va rious sizes and tones. His vehicle was a great prairie schooner" as the i'm mense freight wagons used in crossing the Sierras are called, and everything about both team and wagon was in per- feet order.
 On one side of the wagon-the huge hull of the craft-was painted in red 8 large wing, like the wing of some sea bird. In explanation of this hieroglyph my young fellow said You see, sir, call her the Red Wing
 I told him the folks out on the desert would. most assuredly look upon him as an angel, notwithstanding he had but one wing.
 When we reached the forlorn family and our huge craft rolled up alongside their diminutive vehicle. we looked like "A gun ship bearing down upon canoe.
 The family had evidently never dream ed of such wagon or such an array of animals for team.

 As young, Henderson walked around the old horse and surveyed his many unusual points" his face wore a cu- rious expression-half sheer, half pity.
 Going to where the dead mare lay, he gave her a careless kick, which in stantly brought beseeching Don't, misterl' from the younger of the boys.
 Smiling good humoredly, Henderson turned away from the mare, and now for the first time deigned to notice thc human beings present.
