strange Case Of Nader.
To some affair of the heart is attributed
a stirring incident at the Capital hotel
Wednesday evening about I o'clock, when
John Nader. a guest at that hosiery. was
Frustrated suddenly and fell over uncon-
scious upon issuing from a long-distance
tel sphone booth.
Whom he had been carried to a room
City Physician Slatterly was summoned
and soon after the latter's arrival Nader
was removed to a hospital, where he now
lies.
When the physician arrives he found the
symptoms those Of poisoning, but no other
evidence was found that any drug had been
administered or taken, except that a box
was found in his pocket with a bromo-
quinine label upon 1t. When first over
come the man. while semi-conscious,
pleaded with those around him to let him
die, and declared that he did not think
she would do it." Among his effects was
found a letter from a woman in Omaha
who signed herself as Jennie and 1t Is
thought that he had just been talking by
telephone with her when he collapsed.
Nader has been an occasional guest at
the capital. coming and going with fire.
quency, but the city physician was unable
TO learn much about him there. The doctor
has taken steps to learn who the woman
in Omaha may be, as Nader refuses to talk
about himself or his affairs. In fact, he Is
mentally unbalanced and talks in a RAM
bling and meaningless way.
To-day a man whose name the doctor did
not get, teiephoned the city physician from
Omaha. saying that ne knew Nader and
had formerly worked with hirp. He said
that Nader is AZ years old. is a widower
and has two children, where was not
learned. This man was urged to see that
something was done oward taking care Of
the sufferer.
Nader had about so on his person when
taken to the hospital and was neatly
dressed. Today the city physician. who had
worked all night over the case, reported
that Nader was materially improved and
comparatively out OF danger, but still either
unable or unwilling to tell anything about
himself or his affairs. The doctor was in
clined TO think 1t was a case of poisoning,
but could not hazard a guess whether II
was administered or self-taken.
Change AZ Girls Industrial Home.
The appointment of LYDIA j.. Mcmahon as
superintendent o fthe Girls Industrial
school at Geneva was announced from the
office OF Governor ShallenberRer yesterday
The fight over this appointment had GER
tain features that have been lost in the
maze OF interesting matter evolved by the
legislature and the interest attendant upor
the initiation OF a new administration
Nevertheless the fight was bitter and moi
only divided the democrats of Geneva, blu.
threatened to raw in fractions from over
the entire state.
Miss Mcmahon is a Catholic. She was
opposed on this account by one contin.
gent. Those who were with her supported
her partly because she was a capable su.
perintendent and partly because OF her re.
ligious faith. II was represented that thS
Catholics had received nothing from tn,
election and that al lthey were asking wal
the tention of the Geneva candidate
! Bishop Bonacum was a frank democratic
supporter during the last campaign anC
most of the members of the church IL
the bishopric were with him.
Governor Shallenberger has also retAineC
the superintendent OF the Milford Indus
triad home and the Home OF the Friendless
who were appointees of Governor Sheldon
giving as his reasons the same as in thI
case Of mss Mcmahon that they hst
filled their places very satisfactorily, ant
because he believes that the best interest
Of the state will be served by retaining
them.
