- WHYHATTIE SMITH WAS SHOT Explanation of the Salvation Army Trag- edy by the Wounded Captain, WOULDN'T CHUM WITH MISS BEIDLER Strange Story of One Girl's Infatuation for Another and Jealousy that Led to At tempted Assassination and rder, Captaln Hattie Smith of the Salvation Army has told her story of the tragedy at the Salvation Army jubilec in Omaha last No- vember, in which she was shot by Nottie Beidler, who, after committing the deed, took her own life, The trageay caused a profound sensation atibo time. Many of the features of it were peculiar. Tho Beialer girl, prior to her double crimo, gave no intimation of her in- tentions vhat were considersd worthy of at- téntion and all efforts to show a cause for her orime were futile. Captain Hattie Smith has recovered from tho effects of her wound and at a Salvation army meeting at Ottumwa, Ia., the other night gave her version of the affair. It was astrange story. 1hat woman should fall desperately in love with man and murder her rival, is commonplace; that a male lover should decide to kill his inamorata because she rafuses to marry him on account of the old folks is simply ‘‘opening the chestnut burrs”’ but that oue woman should become in- fatuated with another, that rather than to live without her, she would kill hor and then end hor own 1ife s a _disorder of the brain the mystery of which the ordinary psycholo- gist or anatomist does not dare to probe. Alico Mitchell and Freaa Ward, prin- Cipals in the recent Tonnessce trag- edy, were wealthy and had soclal promi- nence. Hattie Smith_and hor wou'd-be murderer had neither. Yot the same species of insanity mado victims of both. Of Course She's Glad. Recounting her story, Captain Smith said to the army: “Tam very glad to be with you tonight and to be able to tell you the truth of this terrible event which happened a few months #go in Omaha, Neb. ‘n the first place this Miss Nottie Beidler, who committed this terrible crime, never had any conunection with the Salvation army in any way other than to simply attend our meetings, as any other disinterested per- son_might do. ‘*The first time I over saw Miss Beidler was in July last, when the Salvation Army divisional brass band was in Council Bluffs holding a series of special meetings in a tent there. 1 had charge of the Council Bluffs corps of thoarmy at that time. Isaw Miss Beidler come into the large tent and sit down near the center. She looked rather ssd and so I went to her and asked her if she “hristian, ,' said she, *but I would like to be. I told her if ehe was willing to give up her sinful ways and to serve God He would forgive bor of her sins and enable her to live a Christian 1ife, But she said, ‘Not now,’ and [ left her. “I saw her several times during that series of campmeetings, and often spoke to her and tried very hard to get her to consecrate her life to GGod, but all in vain, After the camp- moetings were over sho attended our services in ourhall. Sheoften expressed her desire to bo a Christian, and onca arose in the meeting and requested us to pray for her, which we did gladlv, but we were unable to influence her to prey for herself. One night 8ho camo to the house where L and my sister, who was helping mo in the meetings then, ‘were stopping, and asked us to pray for her. 1t was very late, and we had retired, but we prayed with ber again, and again tried to got bor down upon hor knees, but were dis- appointed. Wouldn't Leave the Army. “After a short time I left Council Bluffs and went to Oskaloosa, la., and took chargo of the corps there.- V-hile there I received two or thyoe letters from Miss iBeidler, in whioh she always sepmed toexpiess a special affection for me, for shesaid: “Captain, you are the only person who ever took any inter- est in me, and I would like you to leave the Salvation army and come to Council Bluffs and be my chum.’ I refused and told bher I ‘would not leave the Salvation arwmy for her or anybody else. *Last November, when she heard we were going to have a council in Omaha, she in- uired aud found out when I arrived there. hile I was there she came to my boarding gllca soveral times to see me. I talked to er about her soul every time I got a chance, but she told me she had given “f' all hopes of ever boing saved, so I thought I had done all Iceuld for her and tried to avoid her as much as vossible, but it seemed that she would follow me uround and continually try 10 get. me to leave the army aud go and live ‘with her, *On the last day of the council, ‘the fatal Sunday’ after the afternoon meeting, Miss Beidler sent me word that she wanted to s<e me, but as I was busy I paid no attention to her. Then she came to me and said, ‘Cap- tain Smitb, if you are a Christian, you will come and talk to me.’ “When I enquired 1 found sho had nothing of importance to _talk about except to try to uade me to leave the army. Lieutenant ister, a lady officer of the army, came and asked e to go to supper with her in the other end of the hall. M Beidler tried to prevent me going by standing in front of me in the aisle and said: ‘You don’t care any- thing for anyboay in the world but that leu- tenant.’ 1 said, *Well, Ilike her better than 1 do you because she is @ good Christiun girl and you are not." Felt a Presentiment. ‘‘She seemed to envy Miss Banister my companionship. After supper I and a couple of other officers were sitting around when a queer foelng came over me, and I asked them to sing with me, *The cross s not greater than His grace, The storm cannot hide His blessed face, Lam sauisfied to know. That with Jesus here below, 1 shull conquer every foe. “We sang it several times, thon Captain Emily Wallace and I started down Lhe street to wash our hands. But we had only gotten 10 the door 'vhen we found that Miss Beidler 'was following us, She walked very close Lo me, almost between me and Captain Wal- lace, until we got to the middle of the street., Then she wanted we to stop and talk to her, but 1 told her I did not care to talk to her as 1 bad dono all I could for ber, by trymg to get her to begome & Chrisuan, and besides that was no fit place to stop to talk in the widale of the street of a large city, She seemed o act 50 strauge that we quickened our steps, but still she kept at our heels, When we reached the opposite side of the street, L‘l:llln Wallace heard her say, ‘I wonder what { have doue with my mitiens,’ and just then she arew a revolver from the folds of her plush coat, and fivea at me, Tue ball ook fect just on the left side of my spinal colu'nn ana pierced through the lowor part of.my left lung, lodging somewhere in the body, This was followed by a second shot, which I could hear go buzzing by my head.

Some Talk Abont the Team Which Enter the State League, Prarrsmovtn, Neb.,, March 20.—Special to Tue Bee.]—Ever since the formation of the Stato league the enthusiasm of our base ball cranks has been on the rise until now it has reached the status of claiming the champion- ship. Manager T. M. Patterson has alrou signed eight first cluss players and has wire: Iaid 1o capture several more. He has secured the following players sure and their names are A guarantoe that we will have winning ball this year: Maupin, catcher; Reeves, Yapp and Perrine, pitchers: Givson, first base and change catoher; McKibben, second base; Porter, third base; Kennedy, thira base; Clark, short stop; Miller, outfielder, and Sam Patterson, extra man. Maupin, our catener, ono of the best knoan piayers in the stato and one of tho best known men in tho league. He was last season & member of the famous Lincoln Giants and of our local team. In addition to his magnificent catching qualities he 1s a fine man with the bat and _will be a tower of strongth to the club. In Reeves, we think wo have secured a pitcher the equal of any in the league, He is a colored man and has had experience with the great Cuban Giants. He was also a momber of the Lincoin Giants and all the ball players hore speak ot him as o fine twirler. He and Maupin will make up one of our winning batteries and it will be a hummer.§ George Yapp, whon in condition, is one of the best pitchers in the west. Ho last year played with Plattsmouth and we all know him to be a winner, He is also handy with tho stick. Al Perrine has the reputation of being one of the speediest pitchers in the state, and this year e will put 'em over tho plate swifter than ever, Gibson, our man on first, is comparatively unknown here, but report says he is all right. He hails from Fairfeld, Ta. McKibben on second, has made for Mimself a big reputation with the Hastings team and will no doubt sustain it hero. He is, without question, the best second base- man in the state. Porter at third, has all the appearance of being an A 1 man although he is unknown here. He brings high recom mendations and comes from Pueblo, Colo. where he played with the Colorado state loaguo toam, _Kenuedy, also a third Lase- man, is from Beatrico und is_another of the heavy weight ball players. Beatrico wants him again this season but we will have him, ir possible to got him. Clark, shortstop, was second on last year's Carroll, In., teamdn batting. He comes very woll endorsed and great things are expected of him. “\Whitey” Miller is one of our own Flattsmouth players, and has had A great big experience in tho base ball line. He last year organized the local club. He is noted as a terror to catchers, being a crack baserunner. He last year astonished the great Traffioy by stealing third base on him at Glenwood, Ia. He is also a fine fielder. Sam Patterson will play outtield this vear when the club is at ‘home but will not go upon trips with it, He was last year the beaviest hitter in tne state and will this year add to his reputation in that line, Ho is ulso a great pitcher and will do much to aid the locals in wresting the championship from their rivals. The team is at present managed by T. M. Patterson, who at one time was the star piayer of tho community but who has since retired and will devote his attention to the management of the team. He will en- deavor to secure tho best material possible for the club and will make it a winner with- out doubt. Danny Daly on His Tour. Fort Niosrara, Neb., March 20.—[Special to Tue Be.|]—Uanny Daly of Omaba and young Gallagher stopped at this placo and gaveone of the best sparring exhibitions ever given around this part of the country, and exhibited their skill to a large crowd.

Ho spoke of the tariff and the MeKinloy bill and tho results of thair operation. To dis- cuss these questions was what the Lincoln club had solicited the presenca of theaudience. Ho thon introduced the speaker of the even- ing, amid a tumult of applauso. Mr. Thurston Mr. Tharston was in a happy mood. In bis usual eloquent and able manner he spoko of the two political parties, the tariff and American citizenship. He held his audience intensely interested for two hours. “Iy 184 very early time of the year in which to begin the ‘.\I’L‘Mmlnnr}l discussion of the great political questions that will confront us,” said Mr. Thurston in his initial remarks, “'but it seems 1o me that now is the time for tho American people to come together to dis- cuss a few great vital auestions.’* In speaking of tho republican party—for he said he was a republicun because he was an American—he stated that ir it w necessary for a party to on account of its advancement progress, let it die without regret. (Good citizenshin was better than partisanship. During campaigus when matters were in- flamod, political discussions woere not carried on as they should be. There were too many indulged in. Ho bat the utmost contempt for indiyidual personalities in political bat- tles, “I come here tonight a republican and.1 want you to go home with the thought that I am u republican who will voto the republican ticket whethor my friend is on it or whether comobony else’s friend is on it,” said he, *If a ticket 1s chilly to me 1 am the frrst to come to the front and try to warm it up. 1 dom't think any republican leader should be entrusted by his party if he carries a political razor to Kknife someone who may not be nis friend. “Tho republican porty is in commaud of the greatest government in the world and has dono more good' for America than any other could have possioly accomplisned, 1 have no personal axes to grind; I have no personal ambition to gratify, but I am with the state and natioual republican party.” This elicited applause aud then Mr. Thurston spoke of the Nebraska republican which, with their bright young mem- would smoothly sail to victory under clear, sunshiny skies. The old ‘‘croakers’ were uotiv it. The victories of the varty during the next cawpaign would bs won by the young men from tho ages of to 40 years. They woula with fervor push 1o tho. front and carry the party to victory. Ho said tho party's success was assured, Dbecause it w true to its avowed principles, true to Ameri- caus, Lruo 10 its advancement nod progress, true 10ts power. Itwas for what is rght and against what is wrong. It believed in liberty and freedom. 1t could, 1f necessary, stand disaster rather than resort to dishon- est-principles. e thought no party should cxist on 1deas of sectionalism. “On the Tarlft Question. Mvr. Thurston then drifted into tho tariff question. Ilessid it wasnot a matter for light discussion. It was not a question to be discussed for amusement, or stories 1o please the vanity of people who heard the discus- sion. He stated that it was a ques- tion that required the sober, thoughtful and dispassionate cousideration of the Ameri- can people. *The argument, he contended, was not & new ove. It was very old and had been discussed pro aud con a century. ago by our great grandfathers. The issue com- menced with freedom-—ut the end of the revolution.. It had mado history year by year, One groatdisndvantage to the Ameri- Ccan people, hio believed, was that they had not the time to give to the question, They were too busy in individual pursuits of life. In bis own busy days of life, while having time to consider the questions of the hour and while haviog a mass of illustrations before bim, he did not have the aecessary time that some gentlemen in cougress have for going 1nto vid dry debates and using languago from archives without even the quotation marks on their pages of manuscrint. Iu spoaking of this Mr. Thurston said ne had no Lesita- tation in alluding Lo Lthe present reprosonta- tive in congress of this aistrict. The repre- sentative from this district was doing great credit to bis atate by showing his ability as o young statesman. **1 would be glad,” said the speaker, ‘‘to see somo of our republican young men of Owahe and: Nebraska in cougross Lo meet bim in debate. We have lots of them. Will Gurley, Charley Green. Heory Estabrooke could mweot him. Henry Estabrooke would rise gbove him. ‘Therc’are many republican boys that we could send to the hall of con- gress that would distinguish themselves ana come uwiy with laprels, Omaba has muny bright apd brilliant young men whom we pass every day on the streets aad think noth 10g of them. They are fitted to stand up and discuss 1he great questions of the nation and make themselves illustrious by having them alluded to as Nebraska boys. We don't have to huve democrats Lo maks the stata re- nowned after ihis. We aro golog 1o send a vepublican boy to congress next time. He will be one with brains aud will do soe- thing in the bulls of congress. Returning to tae tariff, Mr. Thurston said the oolonists from 1733 to 1730 had aosolute free trado, wud it was the only time it was in oxistenve from the time of the arrival of Columbus at the 1slaad ut the gulf. Since 1bo constitution was adopted the country had not bad free trade. All the old states — men saw that the protective tariff was necessary 1o build up the colonists in order 10 protect themselyes from cheap European labor. During the six years, between 1733 to 1789, of froe trade the condition of affirs was_terrible. The country passea through @ crisis that has never been equaled for dis- tress. The English merchants flooded the country with their wares for the purpose of wiping out the budding industries of Amer ica. They sold goods at less than it cost to produce them. When the First Tanil Law Was Passed, AL that time Madison wrote that business was paralyzed, agriculture was in a distress- ing state, there was no money in tbe land, there was no credivor capitui left. Owing to this gpudition of afiairs the government was_weakened sud despised and would not wuch longer hold togetber. Merchants were insolvent, people were poverty-stricken sud in distress on account of American manvfac- turies belug crushed. In 17:9 the firsy pro- tection law was passed. The result was magical. The depleted treasury began to fill up; people began to buy from thoir Americhu’ brothers. Thero wi gon: cra! prosperity iu every avenus of trado and business. It was the principle of living on give and toke. It wes u great lesson to labor aud eapital One could not succeed without tne other. Today there were more happy homes than ever before, people were more intelligent sod belter clad, and today men and women stood 1o the suashine of Lappi- uess and copten!ment. This was all brought about by protectiou, und that was what the republican party advocated. Mr. P'haeston further said in reply to Mr. Mill's statement thet & man bad @& peaks. die and right to buy where ha could buy the cheapest, that he dented the assertion. He did not think it was right for an Amer! ©An to buy where e conld buy the cheapost it he had to ko to a foreign country to do so. If cheap foreign goods were bought an American would bo robbed just that much by pauper labor. If an American could not pay to a fellow oftizen a little moro than an artiole would cost in a foreign country, he shoula leave the community. He said labor was king under the American flag. Dudes and dvones had no place here. Labor had been marchin, stoadily onward slnce it was paid by the lash. It had risen until it was fit to compel its own rights, and it could not be downed any more than could tho sun be turned backwaro, He bald that the republican party had done mora for labor than any other power. The theory of protection ‘was that the Divire Being mado this laud broad and wide enough, dotted with its fertile vailoys, its mountains with gold and silver and rivers, within ils boundaries had laced in the earth every necessary article or use. He thought the genorcus people would uso them twithout golng after the same thing to foreign countries, Mr. Thurston concluded by saving that the country had now seen the benotits of pro tection, and over §200,000,000 more goods tiad been sold since the passage of tho McKinley bill; there were fower paupers, happier homes and greater opportunities on account of the advancemont and progress of the re publican party “‘Live for America, Amerioans and Ameri- can industries,” he concluded. vt Ul Universal Pralso Means Merlt, ‘The suceass of Chamberlain’s coueh edy in offecting o speedy cure of la grippe, coids, croup and whooping cough, has broucht it into great demand.

VICIOUSNESS OF AN K Narrow Escape of # Keeper Who Was A saulted by One of the Big Brates. New York, March 19.—Frank Fisher, aged 27, had anarrow escane from being killed by the elophant called *“Vicious Tom’' at Cen- tral park today. Fisher was recently em ployed to take charge of ““I'om.” He, in com- pany with another regular attendant of tho clephants, entered the elephant house to clear out “Tom's” pen, Snyder had his back turned to bis companion when he heard a sudden cry from Fisher, “Help, Billy, help!” and at the same mowmant there was a heavy thud as Fisher’s body was dashod vorthern partition of the pon. evidentiy been looking out for a good oppor- tunity, and with one whack of his powerful trunk, sent the mau in u heap into the novtk- west corner of the pen. Svyder had been in such predicaments before, but was horrificd 10 see*"Tom” get down ou his knees sud open- ing his wouth try to jab at the prostrate man ‘with tho sturps of his tusks. Luckily the brute's hoad is so big that when his forehead came against the partition he was not able to gt his mouth near enough the man to ac- tually hurt him, Snyder says the brute had his trunk up in tho air and was doing bis utmost to get at Frauk, *I plungod my nook into “Tom.” I'his made the brute get up, and_he oboyed my command to move over. I"rank crawled out of the back door. Frank is the third man whose life 1 have saved from the elephants ia tha menagerio. Tom Lee was nearly done for by ‘Old Dutehy? in 1 and ‘only in_July, 1801, I saved Tommyv Guinness.”” Special Agent Conklin was high 1 his praise of Snyder, and said had it not been for the mun’s pluck and presence of mind Fisher would undoubt- edly bave been killed.

Thompson, ex-musor of the city, led up to 1he shooting.
