An Adventurous Correspondent.

Few newspapers in the United
States are able to command the SER
vices of as brilliant corps of CORE
pondents as The Chicago Record
Herald. Its choice of Walter Wellman
to represent it at Washington is a good
Illustration of its wise policy of get
ting the best there is to be had. Mr..
Wellman Las won national reputa-
ton as a magnetic and resourceful
news writer. Aud now he is prepar-
ing to clinch his reputation for
originality and daring by trying to
reach the north pole IN an airship.
Whatever may be the results of
Mr.. Wellman's daring attempt to
reach the pole this summer in an air
ship and send the news of the voyage
at once to The Record Herald by wire
less telegraphy, the Wellman- Record
Herald expedition is sure to be con-
Quoted by Mr.. Wellman with the same
cool courage and wholesouled en-
thusiasm that have made him an ideal
newspaper correspondent.
Mr.. Wellman was born in Mentor,
Ohio, in 1858. At ii he began his
newspaper experience establishing at
that age a weekly paper in the little
town of Sutton. Neb. In 1884 be be
came the Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Herald, for which
paper he visited the West Indies in
1892 and located the landing place of
Columbus. marking the spot with a
huge stone monument. In 1894 he
made his first dash for the pole,
reaching the latitude of 81 degrees
northeast of SpitzberSen. In 1898 he
tried the same fascinating quest
again, penetrating as far as Franz
Josef Land On both trips lie had
wonderful success in discovering new
islands and securing new scientific
data which have been of great value
to the American Geographical
Society. His yoluminous writings
for scientific periodicals and popular

have marked his journalistic work.

Has Boil Weevil Crossed?

New Orleans, Oct. 31.-Search to
determine whether the boil weevil
has crossed the Mississippi river from
Louisiana into the State of Mississippi
was begun today in the vicinity of
Natchez by officials of the crop pest
commission of the State.
At the beginning Of the year it was
announced by government experts
that the weevil would probably make
it's first crossing of the Mississippi this
fall, as it was agreed that the river
would prove no barrier to the pests
eastward progress.
Recent cold weather, however, has
retarded the migration and the pres
ent search is conducted under the
hope that the weevil may be found
still confined to the western side Of
the river.

A WOUNDED MAN;
a DEAD WOMAN.

Tragic Occurrence in Charleston in
Which a Marine is Found Wounded
and a Woman Dead-Thought that
She Shot the Man.
Charleston, Nov. Lillian Reeves
dead, and Corporal W. r. Woody, Of
the United States marine corps of the
Charleston navy yard, dangerously
wounded, are the result of meeting
of the two parties at the house of the
former about midnight, and tragedy
formed the chief topic of converse
ton and comment in Charleston to-
day.
The presumption of the detective
force is that the woman shot. the ma
rine, and he then seized the weapon
and pointed it to her back, discharg-
ing the bullet which caused her death,
and his wound did not allow him to
proceed but few blocks from the
scene of the tragedy, in an attempt
to escape, when he fell and was later
picked up by Detective Miller and
sent to the roper hospital. The wo-
mans body was found in the dining
room of her house, No. PIP Ashley
avenue, and the wounded marine was
picked up on Bogard street. On the
table of the room in which the body
of the woman was found were the
remnants of luncheon and an empty
whiskey bottle, which must have been
the immediate precursor of the diff
Guilty between the parties. When
Woody was carried to the hospital, he
said that he had been shot by a wo-
man, and later he refused to say who
fired the shot. The discovery of the
woman's body followed message
from Avon Patrick, well known man
about town, who is said to have been
intimate with the dead woman. He
telephoned the police station that
colored woman, Ellen Mikell, residing
on the premises, has made the dis
coverv of the body, reporting it to
him, and he Immediately communicate
ed the information to police head
quarters. Patrick was arrested this
morning, but later was released, as
he was able to show that he had moth
ing directly to do with the tragedy.
The names of two other citizens are
mentioned in connection with the
woman, in the relation of friend
and associate, but they have not been
arrested or summoned as witnesses.
The opinion of the police officials to-
day was, as stated above, that the
killing of the woman and the wound
ing of the man followed dispute,
after their supper, and that no third
party had hand in the tragedy.
Lillian Reeves was a well known
character. She was a handsome wo-
man, who is said to have come to
Charleston with her husband from
Branchville about the time of the ex-
position. Her husband is said to have
separated from her shortly after their
arrival in Charleston. He is said to
be railroad man. Lillian was about
80 years of age. She passed as a
dressmaker, being so reported in the
city directory.
Woody is fine looking man, who
halls from Richmond, Va. He is also
reported to have been keeping COM
pany with the woman who finally
caused his injury and probable death.
