It Finally Comes to an End of Its Struggles. A Failure to Indict Anyone for the Watson B. 8mith Murder, The United States grand jury finally rose last night, terminating ite sscond ses. sicn, and adjourned sine die. The matter over which it has been deliberating most of the time since it began its fiest seowion, the munier of Clonel Smith, was finally left without action, The moat volnminous mass of ambigaous and nncertain testimony ever presented to agrand jury in this state has been brought before this cne, and yet nothin: of suffi cient signiticance haa been arrived at to justify the indictment of any party or purties for the murder. The suspicions held agiinst Arndt - con- cerning whom the press of Omaha, Lin culn, and even Chicago has contained so ch—when kujected to di-crimin t ng investigation weie founl to have been Yused upon nothing more substantial than his talk concerning Col. Smith's character a« an ingividual and ths theorie« estab- lished by amatenr and ambitious detec- tives. Althouzh. acrordin: to the state ment of one of the jurors, the grand jury were generally convinced that Smith ‘was murdered, there was nothing of & definite nature obtained from all of the witnesses examined, and it 1 probable that the as. sassination of the late clerk of the United States court will go down in the future us one of the unsolved mysteries of criminal history.

The experiment of clearing the gutters of Farnham strect, so that the water can run off, by using the waterworks, was pretty theroughly tried yesterday uf er- noon. It was a partial success only, but much was done toward as least making teaming more easy and the crossings some- what more passable, Three streams were on part of the time and were worked to the best advantage possihle. The gutters on hoth sides between Tenth and Four- teenth strects were washed out thoronghly, which allswed some of the muddy pools in the center . f Farnham street and on the crosswalks to drain off.
