UlslNHERlTEo HIS DAUGHTER.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 97.-The recent
death Of Colonel Eben Q. Smeed, a well
known Union Pacific civil engineer,
promises to provoke extensive htiga-
ton. There was an affair of TIE heart
connected with the gentlemsn's life,
and it was claimed that a Mrs. Jean
nette R. Nicholas was tho wOman upon
whom he had bestowed his affections.
At any rate, she was present when he
died, and afterwards followed the re-
mains to Kansas, where they were in
TERED. 1t was reported that the Col.
onel had left his pr2periy to Mr..
Nicholas. and had cut ofNiis daughter,
a Mrs. Kate Smeed Cross OF Emporia,
Kan, without a shilling. The talk was
a,sweet morsel Of scandal for the time
being, but it was soon forgotten, TIL
daughter of the departed railroad man
has filed a petition in which she alleges
that when Eben G. Smeed died he had
personal property of the value of $12,
900 located in Douglass county; that she
was his daughter and only heir-at-lAw,
and that when he died he left no will
by which his property was bequeathed
to any person. The petitioner further
alleges that since the death OF her father
a Mrs. Jeanette r. Nicholas has ap-
peared upon the scene, claiming to hold
a will which was executed by the late
Colonel Smeed during his lifetime, and
under which she is the legatee. The
petitioner further alleges that Mrs.
Nicholas is and was a designing woman,
and that If she holds such a will it wa

GROVER CLEvELAND's letter Of
acceptance is a straightforward,
business like document. In re-
gard to the silver question, which
is a very important issue in the
west, Mr.. Cleveland seems to have
changed his views since he wrote
his silver letter some years ago.
lie is now in favor of a bimetallic
standard and there is little reason
TO believe that he would veto a free
silver bill il it should be sent to
him by congress. 1t is certain
that he has more liberal views on
the silver question than Harrison,
and this fact is likely to gain him
a good many votes in the west. On
all other questions Mr.. Cleveland
is in thorough accord with the
democrats of the east, west, north
and south. The letter will bear
careful reading.

WE publish in another column
the report OF the United States
grand jury which closed its labors
at Las Cruces last week. The
most of the report is devoted to
the wrecked First National Banks
of Deming aud Silver City. The
covering has been removed and
the mass of corruption exposed.
The condition is worse than the
most pessimistic of the depositors
in the banks had expected. That
such a condition of affairs could
exist and not be detected by the
National Bank examiner who made
examinations into the conditions
of the banks from time to time
seems almost incredible. The
president of these banks, it APP
pears, has taken more than the
entire capital stock of both banks
and appropriated it to his own use.
The Comptroller Of the Currency
must have known the exact coalition
of these banks months ago. If he
did he knew that the creditors of
the banks could not be paid in
full if an assessment of 100 per
cent. were levied on the stock
holders Of the banks. More than
eight months have elapsed since
the failure of the banks and an as
sessment has not yet been levied
on the stockholders of the bank
here. The matter will bear fur
Their investigation and it is not at
all improbable that the Comptrol-
Ter of the Currency will have an
opportunity to explain his course
to a congressional investigating
committee.
