HFE STORY OF EVA LEWIS
Patkatio History of the Experience of a
Chicago "Waif.
HER FOSTER FATHER'S ' URGE FORTUNE
Kit mid ml Litigation Slio l < Awarded
n Shiiro or the INtnto by the Lnn-
cunlor County Dis
trict Court.
Lracowr , Aug. 5 , [ Special to TUB BCE. ]
Judge Lansing , who presides over the
county , court for Lancaster county , wrote the
Closing chapter of a llfo romance this morn-
Jng by awarding Mrs. Eva Lewis , the foster
child of Jason G. Miller , the sum of $70-
. _ IffiSTt. The case Is ono of the most promi-
licnt that has over found a place in the an
nals of the courts of Lancaster county. The
wealth of Jason Miller , the story of his
adoption of Eva Cavcngar , a Chicago waif ,
Ills subsequent treatment of her , her mar
riage and the old man's efforts to deprive
her of her legal rights , all combine to iur-
nlsh the material for ono of the most roman
tic stories In real llfo that has over been
published In tha history of Nebraska. The
- itory could very easily bo adapted to the re
quirements of a novel of the modern roman
tic school , and the fact that nil the chanters
would bo taken from llfo would in no wise
Qotruci from its interest.
The heroine of the story was born in Chicago
cage In the yoAV 1807. At the ugo of il years
pho was cither bereft of her parents by
death or heartlessly abandoned , fiho was
placed In the Foundling's home at Chicago ,
and it was there that Mlllor found hor. Her
real name was Eliza Jane Cuvenger. Jason
Miller visited the homo for the purpose of
adopting a child , ana ho was at once at-
uuctod by the little girl that ufterward be
came known all her llfo us Eva Miller , After
Bomo negotiation with the authorities of thu
homo he consented to adopt her. In order
to moot the requirements of the institution
ho was asked to make n full statement of
his ilnanolnl condition , otc. Ho did BO , und
before taking the child he slirued an agree *
Iiiont to adopt the llttlo ono , give her his
name , treat her as his own child and make
her his heir.
It was under such circumstances that the
child came to the homo of Jnson Miller In
IMavtsmouth , Nob. She was renamed Eva
Jillllcr and was baptised under her new
name. She ocoamo known as Jason Miller's
Daughter. To strangers she was Introduced
avthuonlv daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mlllor.
As Miss Eva Mlllor she grew into young
womanhood , and not a shadow of doubt was
over permitted to cross her mind that she
vras not to bo the solo heir of her foster par
ents ,
All WB * Smooth Bullion : .
So far everything ran smoothly iu the life
of the Chicago waif. She was everywhere
honored as tha daughter of wealthy parents.
She wus educated and | > osscssod of many of
the refinements and accomplishments that
muku young womanhood attractive. That
he did not differ materially from the clay
of which other equally charming and accom
plished young ladles 1s made is amply proveu
by the simple fact that she fell lu love with
a young man every way her equal except la
the esteem of her foster parents.
At this point in hor. llfo she llrst cncoun-
torcd the opposition of Jason Miller. The
old man objected to her lover , although there
was nothing in tha eyes of the world toiuxivo
that ho was either ineligible or unauttud to
the young lady. Mlllor was a dnyout
Christian and nn enthusiast utxm thn ques
tion of foreign missions. Naturally , ho hud
dreamed of making his foster child a mis-
elouury to some foreign shore. Ills plans
met with no opposition until the girl hap
pened to fall lu lovo. Thou tha old man's
' heart turned against het , Ho bogged ,
> s threatened and untreated , but all to uo uur-
IXJJB , and vuu upshot ol it all wiu Itutt Kvn ,

married the young man of her choice and the
Id man made a will in which ho attempted
o deprive her of all share in his estate.
Jason Miller died on October S , 1801 , at
-os Angeles , Cal. , leaving an estate valued
at $250,000. His sole survivor was his wire ,
no children having boon born to them in all
ho years of their wedded life. The will , in
which ho loft his entire estate to his wife
uid other beneficiaries , contained no refer
ence to his foster child. When the will was
admitted to probate Eva Miller , who. in the
mo.uitimo , had become Eva Lewis , having
married the man for whom she braved her
Father's displeasure , commenced a suit to
lave the instrument set aside on the grounds
.hat in depriving her of her Just share of her
'oster father's cstato tlio agreement under
vhich she had boon adopted had been vlp-
atcd. She claimed damages from the eitnfto
.o the amount of $125,000 , that amount being
.ho share that should have accrued to her
under the agreement of her adoption.
Closing ; Cliuptcr of tlm Story.
It xvill bo unnecessary to follow the case
.hrough the tedious channels of the litlqa-
lon which followed. SulUco It to say that
.ho case has been under advisement for
tome time and the decision of the county
udgc was made a part of the records at
loon today. Judge Lansing's ilocis' ni is a
cngthy ono. Every point lntho cont.-ovcrsy
: ias been carefully examined in the light of
: ho best authorities attainable , In closing
nis decision the judge said :
"Tho proof shows this child to have been
bright , affectionate , gentle and prepossess
ing. She won Elder Miller's affections at
once. If ho had not taken her it is fair to
presume that some ono else would have done
10 , and would have kept his agreement. But
lOldcr Miller takes her , takes her to his
lomo In Nebraska , tells his wife what ho
las done , rears and educator her , has her
Baptized In his own name , treats
uid introduces her as his child.
Everything goes smoothly on until
the child , grown to womanhood , exhibits the
most natur.il trait of young women she ac
cepts the attention of a lover , cntortulns his
proposal , and obedient and dutiful , as thereof
roof shows her to have boon heretofore , in-
Formi her father of the fact. The old man
now , for the first time , finds her refractory ,
and despite his authority and despite the
nfToctlon she had always berne ami still born
him , his off arts to crush out her passion and
to prevent her accomplishing woman's des
tiny of wlfehood and motherhood , ho fulls.
It is then that , irritated by her opposition
ivnd the frustration of his plaus , ho dUplay.i
the coarser chnr.icteristirs of his nature.
Ho brutally and falsely tolls her that her
mother was a prostitute and her father un
known and that she was unworthy to bo the
wife of an honest man , I say falsely , because -
cause these things were not true and ha
know it ; know that she was the child of
honest parents. Finding this also to full ho
casts her off , and having it her oil Ignores
his agreement , mlv though possessed of nit
estate worth if200,000 , cuts her oil without a
shilling. "
llolili the Director * llniponnlhle.
Another sensational suit growing out ot
the failure of the Capital National bank was
tiled in district court today. It was com-
inencod by Eugcno Hallott , who was a do-
poaltor on the day that tbo bank failed to
the extent of $ J,400. He brings suit against
Master and Outcalt , as well at against D , E ,
Thompson. II. J. Walsh , It O. Phillips , E ,
I' . Ilamer , A. P. S. Stewart nud C. E. Yatrs ,
all of whom wvro directors in the defunct
bank. In his petition Mr. Hallot alleges that
the director * , although repeatedly advised
by proper public oRlcials that the bank
wus being recKlessly conducted , that the
paper taken was much of It bad , and that
the bank was not in a honlthy condition ,
failed to examine the books or oxorclsti
i > roi > or supervision over the money deposited
In the bank. Ho charges that the reputa
tions of the directors as Individual business
men was such as to command the conildonce
of the depositors , especially when they at
tached tholr uamcs to the reports Issued pe
riodically .by the bank , Mr. Hallet further
ullcgos that the bank was Insolvent for a
year before its doors wore closed and that
Its funds were stolen and spirit away by
its oOlcurs , all of which the dlitors ; might
have known had they performed tholr duty ,

"Some say the reason for these changes is

Ho then impressed upon the old soldiers
that they had a solemn duty to discharge to

the nation from ruin and dishonor. "And if

NO-HARD TIMES AT HASTINGS

HASTINGS , Aupr. 5. [ Special to THE DEE. ]
On last Sunday THE CUE had a statement
mndo by tha merchants ot Omaha as to the
prevalence of hard times la that city. The
Hastings correspondent of TUB BBB Inter
viewed a number of the leading firms of the
Queen City and found that nearly all were
well satlslled with the present situation ,
and believe that the cry of "hard times" Is
the result of imagination more than of any
real effect the proposed change in the finan
cial j > ollcy pf the government may have.
These are some of thu expressions i
Dry < iood .
William Rraah , of Walbaah & Brach Out-
trade for a little time past hus been some
what quiet , but this situation I ascribe , not
BO much to any financial disturbances , ns to
uneasiness concerning the outlook for crops.
No ona is asking for credit , aud so in one
sense thu linaiiciul stringency hus affected
us. The ones who would keep mouoy in cir
culation haven't it.
Julius Weinbonr , Manager A , J. Unna I
cannot sco but what our trade is just as
peed now ns it over wn . Money .sc-oins
uaay , aud aside from u few croakers who
would complain if they owned the heavens ,
all the farmers seem well satisfied with the
prospects.
Mr. A , Pickcns of A. Pickcns & Bon Com
pany I think that thU financial crisis Is
more than one-half scare , although there
may bo und probably U some foundation for
it. Our trade for the year has been above
the average , hut for July a little more llirht.
Luclc of confidence is the probable trouble.
J , N , Fountain , Furniture Thoru has been
no grea * . fulling off of business in the furni
ture lino. It is always very quiet at this
time of year , but the previous few mouths
will compare favorably with these of previ
ous years
In the furlililuir I.Inc.
W. E. Barnes , of C. H. Barnes Clothing
House Our trade for the past your ) uit > boon
good , Juno was u | H > or month , compara
tively ape.iklng , hut July wus much better ,
\V. J. Falk Our June and July trade was
very good , and on the whole the cry of hard
times scorns exaggerated ,
S , M. Thompson , Shoes January , Febru
ary. July and August uro always dull months
in the shoe business , but this year my tnido
hus bouu fully us good as before. Thu prc -
cut crisis has not affected me , and I believe
It simply to bo the result of the uncertainty
of the public to the probable legislation or
the tariff nnd financial problems ,
M. B , Uolllns , "The Fair. " My trade has
been fully us good as over nnd in fact is bat
ter tnan last year. I do u stricter cash bust-
neis and am not troubled with collections.
I can see no difference in the state oC a ft airs
now und prior to this timo.
Munoy Left for l.murlen.
O. C. Linn , Jewelry. Our trade for the
past year has boon bettor than In any other.
July is always a light month , and at present
It is a llttlo quiet , but 1 look for it to pick
up about the lint of the month , I have no
cauao for complaint.
S. E. Howard & Co. , Jewelers Wo cannot
see but what our trade has been bettor this
year , and although lighter during the last
two months , us is usual , thu outlook U en
couraging und business will probably in.
crease again 'Vith the close of the heated
term.
Among tile Juhbon.
Hastings Grocery Company Our trouble
has been not so much Inability to sell our
goods as in collections. Our cash trade IIUB
iucrpuscd , but our tlmu customers are much
more tardy iu settling up.

Harness Company The price of hides has
been very low for some time , and so whlla
our wholesale tnule is just as extensive , it
does not amount to as much ns it formerly
did. Our retail trade has boon very good
and we cnunot complain of hard times.
C. L. Stone , Agricultural Implements
Trade for the year has bnen good , and for
July excellent. While not quite as largo as
last year at this time , I ascribe this to the
partial failure of small grain. Collections
uro good ,
Hastings Implement Company Our trade
has boon butter than over before , and wo
ncvor had so much cash trado. Men whom
wo formerly never could glvo time enough ,
now insist on paying cash oven before trying ,
tholr purchases. This season wo have .sold
eight 01 ten hinders for cash , when formerly
wo have thought wo were in luck if wo got
ready money for ono or two. Collections are
reasonable.
Tnmblo , Dlackman & Alexander Our
June grocery trade was 4 per cent bettor
than Juno of the previous year. Similarly
our July trade w.is 20 per cent above that for
IS'.CJ , and the rest of the year in proportion.
Collections are good.
I * J. Gilles , Munaircr C. N. Diotz Lumber
Company Our trade for the year has been
fair , and although lately wo have been doing
a very light business , yet wo are now fur
nishing a good m.uiy estimates for outsldo
parties. It Is juHt to say that the lumber
business is always very quickly affected by
any cr.y of hard times.
J. II. Hanoy & Co. , Manufacturers of Har
ness Our trade for the year up to Juno I
wus way ahead of what it was last year.
Suddenly there was a falling off , and until
the 1st of this month out * bnsimm was com
paratively dull. Wo ascribe this to a gen
eral-feeling of uneasiness , and are certain
that if the people can bo convinced that
thcro Is no cause fnr alarm , trade will soon
pick up again , Wo think the bottom has
been touched.
Anson < fc Pratt , Plumbers Wo can have
no cause for complaint us to the existing
Htato of affairs. Our tradohim been bettor
Tor the whole year and for June nnd July
, han in 1SIU. Collections uro a llttlo dull ,
nut that is always the case before harvest.
Wo can BOO no reason for the general cry of
liard times. Prospects are good and the out
look never win bolter.
Lawman & Hedgers , Heal Estate Slncn
Lho first of the year wo have disposed of
3150,000 of farm lands , beside city property ,
at nn average of 10 an acre. Wo can HOD no
appreciable effect of any cry of hard times ,
