HAS A CHANCE T0 RECOVER. Oaptain Hattie Smith's Oase Not so Des- perate as Was First Thought. BULLET NOT LOCATED AS YET, 5} Burgeons Hesitate to Make the Exam- Ination—Career of the Suicide— Her Mother Ill-—-Leteer from the Dead. Cantain Hattie Smith, who was shot by Nottio Biedler Sunday eveniug, rested easily tho fore part of last night. No new symp- toms had developed. The patient complaned of some paic and cousiderable soreness in tho region of the wound, but the nurses were pleased to stato that no change for the worse hiad taken place up to midnight. The surgeous had intended searching for tho bullet Iast night but the condition of the patient was not considered favorable for the operation and 1t was deferred until today, The bullet ponetrated tho kidneys, but beyond that its course is as yet uaknown. A dloctor stated that at any rate the wound was a vory dangerous one, but whether or Em, it was necessarily or even probably fatal, as not prepared to say. veral of the wounded woman's com- rades, including some of the ofiicers of the army, called at’ the hospital to inquire as to her condition. None of them were admitted to see her, however, as strict orders had been given that the scenes of Sunday night fu thesick room were not to be repeated, and that noone was to be allowed toenter the woom but _the doctors and trained nurses of the hospital. Tho best of treatment 18 mssured her, and if careful nursing will restore her to life and health, her recovery is mssured. Miss Biedler's Career. Miss Nottio Biedler, the dead girl, was 10 oars of age and came’ with her family from Dunlap, Ia., to Council Bluffs several years #go. She was admitted to partnership in the Civy Steam laundry with her father, W. W. Biedler, and her older sister, Mrs. Harris, The neighbors intimate that she has not been on the most affectionato terms with the other amembers of the family, and weut out a great deal without letting them know where she was going. The latter statement is corrob- orated by the other members of the family. Her reiatives are not aware that she kept company with any member of the opposite sex, although they admiv that such might have been the case,as she was not disposed to mako confidantes ‘of any of the family re- garding her private affairs. Intimate With Oaptain Smith. While in the Bluffs Captain Smith kept ouse at 417 South First streot, and was vis- ted there frequently by the deceased, with whom she was apparently on tho best of torms, If they cvor had any differences of any kind whatever it is not now known, neither is there any kncwledge of any state of affairs that can be so coustrued as to fur- pish a possivlo motive for the dreadful trag- ®dy that was enacted last night. Miss Biedler bought the pistol with which ho shooting was done & long time ago, be- ore she becamo acquainted with Captain Hmith, but none of her acquaintances kuew bt she ever carried it. Mprs. Biedler Dangerously Il ‘The mother of the dead girl is lving danger- ously ill, and has not yet been informed of the tragedy for fear that the shock might re- sult fatally. Mr. Bicdler and bis married daughter, Mrs. Hareis, called at the undertaker's yesterday morning and viewed the body of the deceased. They said that they had never seen anything wrong about her, and that sho was steady and industrious and had always uattended to her work in the laundry. They were very much affected, and wept bitterly as they stood beside the corpse of the daughter and mstor. Neither of them could throw any ad- ditional light upon the somewbat wysterious deed. The father told of her final leave taking of the family, in which there wus nothing to intimate that she meditated the fear- ful step that she was to take. Sho merely told thom that sho was going to call on het sister in the western part of the city, aud after washing the dinner dishes, changed her dress und left the house without 8 word of final farewel She stopped at her sister’s, as she had in - tended, but remained there only a few min- utes, saying she was coming to Omaha to seo the ‘Salvation Army parade and renew her acquaintance with Captain Smith. She left hor pocketbook with her sister, retaining only enough chauge for car fare, ana stated laughingly thav she woald hardly have use for any more of it. She was seemingly in very good spirits, looking forward to a ploas- aut meeting with her old friend, Heor family heard no more of her uutil tho sad nows of her death was broken to them, nd of her actions after leaving the house of her sister and boarding a train for this city all that1s known is that she stuod on the corner of Fifteenth and Farnam streets at 2 ©'clock watching the procession, and subse- quently appaared at the army barracks, from the doors of which she stepped forth at 6 ©'clock to murder her friend and kill herself, Letter From the Dead. Tho acting coroner sent a messenger to Dr, Sprague atan early hour yesterday morning with a written request to deliver tho property of the aead woman, and the request was com- Dlied with, Thosealed note was opened,and in very inaifforont chirography appeared tho following rather disjointed and incoherent sentence betraying the excitomeut of the ‘writer: OMANA, Nov. 15, 180L—[Miss [Tattie Smith and Nettlo Beidlor ]I drew wy revolver at 6o k to biow out bralns ont NETTIE AND HATTIR, Good bye forever; we care not whit tho peo- plo say.

HE WAS WEARY OF THE WORLD. Andrew Polan, After a Spree, Sends a Bullet Through His Brain, Followizg close upon Sunday evening's fearful double tragedy came the suicide torday morning of Andrew P. Polan, a sec- tion hand in the employ of the Unlon Pua- cific Railway company, Polan was a Swede and lived with nis family at Twonty-seventh and Walnut stroots, near Sheely staiton. He had been drinking heavily since Ttursday, aud went howe yosterday afternoon about 4 o'clock very much intoxicated. He remained in tho house until this morning, sleoping the groater part of tho time. e arose shortly after 6 o'clock and his wife urged him to re- turn to work, As he finished dressing he placed a revolyer in his pocket, evidently thinking that the act was uot ovserved by his wife. “You had better leave that here, she re- marked suortly afterward. “Leave what here!” asked Polan quickly and the woman fearing that her husband might be sensitive apon the subject and not wishing to wound bis feelings, saia no more about the matter. Polan left the house a little later, remarking that he would be back in a few minutes, e entered the closet at the rear of the lot, and that was the last time he was seon alive. As ho did not return uneasy, but before auy luvesigation @& pistol sbot beard and smoke was seen from the little outhouse. The land- lord, who lives in the next house, ran back and bursting open the door found Polan in & half sittiug position, unconscious. The re- volver was lying on the toor near im, and Vlood und brafu matter were oozing from & bullet hole iv the right temple, The dylug mun was at once carried into tho house, but breathed only & few times after reaching there, fled of what had oceurred, and under his in- structions the body was removed to Hoafoy & Heafoy's, Polan had frequently threatened during the past year that he would kill himself, Evnuruly atthe close of & spree such as ho becu lndulglog lu for the past few days. became wake was issuing Mrs. tolan she could ‘The coroner was noti- | His landlord talked with him yestorday, ure- | ing him to sober up and go baok to work, and this Polan seomed disposed to do.

WILL MAKE RADICAL OIANGES, The controversy between the revisionists and conservatives i the Chicago prosbytery assumed a new and wholly uncxpected phaso at the meetim beld at the Fourth Presbyter- jau church today, and while the report of Dr. Patterson’s comunttee will be adopted it will afterward bo nuliified by an overturo of a majority of the presbytery 10 the assembly, demanding un entire recasting of the con- fossion of faith. This is made possible by the fact that the followers of Dr. Stryker and Dr, W. W. Totherh of Hyde Park have united their efforts and decided to vote for the lukewarm report recommending a few changes as half a loaf and resort to the sug- gested means for carcying their point.

The captain said that he was cailed to the jmil about 9 o'clock on the cvening of Octo- ber Y. There was a crowd of sevoral hun- dred people standing around the east wing.

There is a turoad of a plot that is so like gossamer as to be in- visiblo most, of the time, but it affords an ex- cuse for bits of dialogue and comedy to re- lievo the specialities from the monotony of a ripid succession.

Mr. Rovee makes up in the presence of the audicnce as a country deacon, a Boston exquisite and a sehoolboy and speaks a suitable **piece with each character. In tho course of the evening he impersonates an old maid, a giggling school girl, a trazedian in distross and a would-be socioty actress. Most of his work is excellent and takes unmensely with the audience. Jessie Lindsay ropresents an excoedingly pretty and piquant miss, and introduces several very gracetul daunces. A. R.
