MATTERS AT LAKE MANAWA. A Double Court-Cornlnc Field Sport Freight CJinr es ixt tlio Dummy Depot Stolen . Goods. The Crlmn Promcdlt.itnil. It is now settled beyond the shadow of n loubt that Noland , the suicide , had fully do- ermlncd to kill Kittle Edwards before ho vent to the house on the evening of the ragcdy. It seems that , on the day of the crime , one of N. W. Williams' men , who was vorklng on a now building near the transfer , quit work nt the usual time nnd started up town. Near the corner of Sixteenth street nnd Hroadway ho overtook a stranger who walked along with him. As the follow was considerably under the influence of liquor ils companion did not think it strange that 10 talked n great deal , and paid very little mention to what ho said. Subsequent de velopments showed that It was moro than thu foolish talk of a drunken Imbecile , Said no stranger : " 1'vo pot It In for some folks n this town. They have put the cons onto no , and 1 will play oven with them for It. There Is a d d up town who steered them straight against me , nnd 1 will fix her BO she will never plpo again. You will read about It in the papers. " Sure enough ho did "road about It in the mpors" on the following morning , and ho lastily repaired to the undertaking rooms of ? lold & Estop to see the dead man. At the first glance ho recognized In the jody of the sulcldo the remains of his com- mnion of the preceding evening. Noland md undoubtedly referred to the Edwards woman when making his terrible thrc.it. It is known that a p.il informed him that the > ollco were on his tracit , and that a woman ind given him away. It Is also certain that .ho pollco were looking for him , and wcro In the ofllco of the Ogden house at the tune the shooting took place , intending to visit the Sdwards bagnio in a few minutes on u search 'or the young desperado. As ho told n news- joy on the street three hours baforo that ho was going to kill himself , It Is qulto probable , liat the plans for the double tragedy had been fully matured In his mind long before 10 started to carry them into execution. Ho iaa committed a crime that would send him to the penitentiary for several years , and ho determined to rorengo himself on the woman who ho thought hnu been instrumental In bringing him to justice , nnd then take his own life. The mystery that surrounded the shooting is now entirely cleared away , and , ho motive and its attendant circumstances .aid bare. Fortunately , the bullet intended for him self faithfully performed its work , and the county was spared the expense of ofllcially nmwellng the mystery. The woman , his ntcndcd victim , still lives , and is In a fair way to recover. Additional facts , that have atoly been revealed , show how very slight was the circumstance that gave her a longer ease of life. Since she recovered conscious ness it has been thought str.uigo that she did not know what was the matter , and had no knowledge whatever of the attempted as sassination. Maud Eaton , the only witness who saw ho whole of the bloody deed , makes a stato- nent that explains it all. She says that she clt ns if something was going to happen , nnd vns watching the door to see Miss Kittle up. > ear. When the latter cnmo to the door , her lead was bowed down and hur eyes wcro Ixcd on the Moor , as if thinking of snme- hlng. She did not look ui > . and did not see ho would-be murderer. The bullet struck icr , nnd she fell , without comprehending that an attcmut had been made upon her ife. ife.As As has been previously stated , the ball on- crcd about naif an Inch above the loft eye. ilad her head been raised it would have pen etrated an inch or two lower , and would have been instantaneously fatal , as in the case of the would-bo assassin. She had been quite sick , and her idea now is that her present illness is simply a continuation of that sickness. Two attendants are with ler all of the time , ono on either side , and > rovent her from lifting her hands to her load. Her physician states that If she can bo kept perfectly quiet , her chances are good. Any sudden movement or change In position that would cause a rush of blood to the head night rupture n blood vess9l , and death would result. She is now rational , and con verses n little with her attendants , but all { nowlcdgo of the manner In which she was ujured is carefully kept from her. The work of recovering the Jewelry stolen jy Noland and hs pals Is proceeding slowly. Officer Thomas has the matter In charge , and has thus fur secured about SSOO worth. It has been found that the "swag" was "planted" in the cellar under Jack Green's saloon , and that after Noland suicided It was "raised" and transferred to a point near the Northwestern "Y. " The party who then liad the property in charge is known to the police us an all-around crook nnd tough. Not withstanding the vigorous work of the police , the stolen goods are still being disposed of in the city , and the channels through which the work is being done can not bo located. The police have managed , however , to got tiola of nearly every article that has been thus given out. Thcro is no "fence" em ployed to market the goods , but the thieves are attending to the work themselves. Money loaned at L. B. Craft's & Co.'s loan ofllco on furniture , pianos , horses , wagons , personal property of all kinds , and all other articles of value without removal. All business strictly conli- dential. At Mnnnwa. Notwithstanding that the work on the dan nnd other changes at the Inlet and outlet o : Mannwa are completed , the improvements at the lake are by no moans at on end. A large force of men was at work yesterday on the grounds around the hotel , making several Important changes. The hotel in being painted , and when com' plo.ted will loom up In a cnat of white wltli trimmings of dark red. Walks are bolnj ; laid between the hotel mid lake and new out' buildings are being erected. J. J. Mahoney has commenced work on a 40-foot addition to his restaurant , the "Omaha , " and will soon begin the erection of bathhouses on the north bunk. J. M. Hay has a grader at work laying oui streets through the plat owned by him. Work on the propeller "M. F. Uohrer" ha : been commenced , and in thirty days she wil bo converted into n side wheel steamer , wit ! much heavier machinery. The water In the lalso Is now deep cnougl to ( lout any of the boats and is constant ! : rising. It Is thought that the banks will bi full by the end of the week. . . * Great 8lniln Day Sport.

Colonel Hnsslcr Astonished to Find So Mnny of Ills Comrades Alive. . The number of original Harrison men in Washington is now only exceeded by the number of members of the Third Iowa regiment , of which Secretary Noble wnsj adjutant , says a Washington letter. Every man wlio was 11 member of that famous fighting rogimontduring the war , in quest of ollieo , thinks that he has u special claim upon the secre tary of the interior. Ono day last week Secretary Noble , Assistant Sec retary Bussey , whd was colonel of the Third Iowa , and Colonel Hasslor , the democratic appointment clerk of the in terior department and a great wag , were in tlio secretary's olllco , when the door opened and a gentleman from the wild and woolly west entered the olllco. Ho was welcomed , by Colonel Bussoy and General Noble , ana the former said : "Colonel Htissler , let mo make you acquainted with Major Pickoroll , of Dakota , formerly of the Third Iowa. " Hasslor a"nd the major shook hands , and the former with great gravity said : "Major , that regiment , I boliovotook no part in the war. " "Well , sir , " replied the major , indig nantly , "I should think it did. That regiment fought in some of the severest battles.of the war. " "Why , Ilasslcr , " said the secretary , "what made you ask the question'1" "Oh , simply because so many of its members are alive , " was Hasslor's re ply , and the secretary , appreciating the sarcasm , almost fell from his chair in a paroxysm of laughter. Tinted Statues. In reference to the question whether the Greeks tinted their statues a corre spondent of London Notes and Queries says there is not the least doubt that the answer must bo in tlio affirmative. There is the amplest evidence of the fact that the sculptures of the Parthe non at least some of them were tinted hut they wcro not painted with solid paint like the statues in the Crystal palaco. Architecture and sculpture were often tinted , not alone by the Crooks , hut by the Etruscans , Assyr ians , and Fgyptians. Colored statuary abounded in the middle ages , as anyone may see for himself who examines mo- ditcval monuments. Anti-Pass Bonk System. A good many merchants of Atlanta , Ga. , have adopted the "anti-pass book system. " It consists of the issuing of hooks with the merchant's and holder's name written on the cover , the book containing $ .50 worth of coupon tickets , numbered 6,10 , nnd 25 cents , and SI. The theory is that when a customer purchases a hook , whether for cash or an advance , each purchase is to bo made by these coupon chocks , which ' will koo'p the purchaser informed as to the amount of purchases and save the merchant a vast and intricate deal of bookkeeping. Upset the The British steamer Earl of Ulster , on her way from Pleotwood to Belfast , ran into a lighthouse and tipped it over. The keeper was rescued with dilllculty. The steamer's injuries were trilling. WatchTheSlGNS- ' our ustBuvYou CJ-R.OG EMMETS \ - ' -f E.B.- We invite your patronage. - E.B.GARDINER. ? . BFrOADW Y ' V /rl / ' ' . fflfjfe r SPECIAL NOTICES.
