Stream in James bey District in Cane ada Discovered by Member of Geological Sarvey. W. J. Wilson, an explorer of the Ca- nadian geological survey, has returned to Ottawa with his party from a tour through the unexplored country to the southwest of James bay. Mr. Wilson reports the discovery of a large river, hitherto unsurveyed, and running be- tween the Albany river on the south and the Ottawapicket river on the north, The newly-Ciscoveredriver has a course of over 300 miles, and near James bay divides into two branches emptying into Hudson bay. Several new lakes were also discovered by the exploring party. Psychology of a Bandit. Prof. Morselli, of Genoa, and Prof. De Sanctis, of Rome, have made an) exhaustive psychological study of the notoripus bandit Mussolino and will publish soon the result of their re- searches in “The Biography of a Bandit.” They have also made in- vestigations in Calabria and Sicily te discover the secret of the peasants’ sympathy with the brigands, who in- flict on them terrible wrongs—a sym- | nathy due neither to terror nor to hribery. f Bernhardt Growing Old.

It is supposed that Denmark seeks to ally herself with her ancient en- emy.

He hopes to see Prest- dent Roosevelt, and will visit all the big industrial centers, One of the ob- jects of his trip, he explains, is to show the Americans that the’ French are becoming more interested in the United States every day. And in or- der that his countrymen may know the American better, he will spend three months studying the industrial, commercial and social habits of the people of the North American — re- public. He may lecture; he does not know, Few, men are better equipped than Jules Huret for the work the Figaro has asked him to undertake. One of his most recent achievements was a remarkable series of contributions on the social questions of Europe, for w! he traveled all over the contin interviewing all sorts of people. CITY HALL TOO SMALL. Awakens to the Fact That Civie Business Is Hampered by Lack of Room. London London has suddenly discovered that it ought to have a respectable home for its rulers, One of the queerest of all the topsy-turvy things about this center of the empire is that probably 3.000.000 of its inhabitants don’t know where its “city hall” is. The building from which the world’s metropolis is ruled is an insignificant affair, beside which the municipal headquarters of any American city of 30,000 inhabit- ants would look imposing. It is quite overshadowed by the back part of Wil- liam Waldorf Astor’s house, which ad- joins it on the north. The building is too small to hold half of the depart- ments of a concern that spends $30,- 000,000 a year and rejoices in gross debts of $250,000. The county council recently voted down a proposition to build « new city hall. NUN A PROFOUND SCHOLAR.

William Hollenback is Dead, But the Woman May Recover. K. C. Star. | “Here's a Christmas present for | you.” | William P. Hollenback, weighmas- ter for the Missouri Elevator com- pany, spoke those words this morning as he entered the room at 1501 East Eighteenth street, where his wife lay ill in bed. Mrs. Hollenback, willing to forget for the time the troubles that had caused them to separate last week, raised herslf to receive the gift. As he did so, Holleback tore off its wrappings and displayed a revolver, cocked it, and with the exclamation, “You must die with me!” shot the prostrate woman three times. Pearl Osborn, his stepdaughter, 17 }onrs—old, sat at the foot of her niother’s bed, and upon her the des- pevate father turned his weapon, The |wirl rushed frantically to the door and, although it had been locked by Hollenback, managed to unfasten it und escape. From the room where the mother jlay, Hollenback followed his step- daughter into the hallway, and there, seeing thatshe hud eluded him, he sent a bullet into his own breastuear the left collar bone and another into his heart, Then he staggered back into the room and fell forward on his face, dead, still grasping the re- volver in his right hand. Mrs. Hollenback was shot through the left side and again through the left shoulder. A third bullet inflicted a slight wound in the left hand, Dr. Gardner, who attended Mrs, Hollen- back, says she will recover, Hollenback and his wife had quar- reled repeatedly during the past few months and separated Tast week with a mutual agreement to live upart in the future, A Suicide at Odessa. Odessa, Mo., Dee, 25.—John Scott, a grocery clerk, 21 years old, shot and killed himself just outside the Chicago & Alton depot here last night. He had come to the railway station to meet some guests who were com- ing to his sister’s wedding The guests were not on the train and the young man ran through the care to find them. After the train started he tried to jump off. His overcoat caught as he jumped and he was dragged fifteen yards by the train, A gash was cut in his forehead, Scott left the station and it is supposed that he shot him- self while temporarily insane from the injury. Five bullets are in his body near the heart. $100 Reward $100. ‘The readers ot this paper will be pleas- ed to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.

Harrisburg, Ill., December 27.— Skiffmen along the banks of the Ohio river in Pope and Hardin counties, as usual, are reaping a harvest, ow- ing to the rapid rise of the river caus- ed by the recent rains. Thousands of railroad ties have gone down the river, having been washed from the banks, and these skiffmen catch them and haul them in, for which they re- ceive from 15 to 85 cents apiece. An old blind fisherman and his daughter are among the most active in this work, and they have probably taken up more than any two persons in the. business, The man is stone blind, and is certainly a mnruel when it comes to fishing or catching stray railroad ties. — A Nebraska Bank Robbed.
