A liberal reward has been ollercd for her capture. It appears that the woman has been in considerable trouble of lato. Her house on Ninth street , in which she was installed as pro prietress up to two weeks agowas , turned over by the owner to Mrs. Munn , who at once proceeded to oust Mollie Gibson.

Tlio Ncxv Union Depot Notes nntl PcrsonalH. General Manager Callaway of the Union pacific , was asked yesterday at what time work woxld probably com mence on the now union depot. "That is : i hard matter to decide , " ho replied , "tho fact is that the land has not been definitely secured , and until tlio question ol location is settled , wo can of course do nothing. The cost wo cannot figure upon yet , until the plans are set tled. " "Havo all the roads terminating in the BluHs agreed to como into thcilopot ? " "I think that there will bo no trouble in inducing them to go into the scheme. Possibly the Northwestern may not go in , and the B. & M. may prefer remaining out. Still I cannot say anything definite about that part of ityet. "In addition to the capital stocl ; , bonds will bo issued to cover tlio cost of erect ing the depot. " NOTKS AND I'EKSOKALS.

The Contracts Should bo hot at Once. To TUB EDITOR : In yesterday's edi torial columns yon spoakof the hundreds of little homos being constructed by the worklngmon of this city. Has the editor of the lints considered what ollect the dilly-dallying of the city council over the letting of the contract for curbing and guttering will liavo upon the construction of homes lor workingmen - men ? While tlio two firms of contractors are the matter in the courts hun \ dreds of workingmcn are not onlv idle , but hungry , and are sure to sufler in common with every interest in tlio city which workingmen can support. baying nothing pf the merits of the respective contractors the council has a fair opportunity to sot the wheels of im- Improvement in motion by letting the con tract at once , in accordance with the de cision of the court as to who was the lowest bidder. The gentlemen of the council should let the work go on , and thus bring gladness and plenty to hun dreds of scantily fed'meu , women and children , for upon the letting of this con tract depends the construction of the miles of paving , the contracts for which arc already let.

J , Goldman , of the Fifth cavalry , while hunting near Fort Robinson , lost a valua ; bio gold watch worth several hundred dollars , and highly prized on account of its having boon a wedding gift.

Recently ho wtis surprised to receive w letter from Coiinty Clerk Carloy. of Dnwcs county , Nebraska , stating that i herder had picked up the watch this winter , nnd ask ing what should bo done with It. Think ing that the timepiece would bo badly battered up nnd prnbiibly worthless , Lieut.

It arrived there this week , nnd strange to say , the uorks were all right , except that it needed cleaning , but the case was sadly battered. Tlio watch is now as good as of old. Altogether it is n elraugo case of loss and recovery. Wnon you come to Lincoln , stop nttlio Commercial Hotel , if yon want IIOUK comforts. U. W. KiTcaiES , Proprietor. A TAMi OP MAniTAlj MISKUY. Sadie MoBrldo Tolls of Jlor Domestic Troubles with "Billy" Notinnmun. "Sadie , you ought to go up to St. Joseph's hospital before you go away and see your old husband , Billy Ncunuman. lie drank some ammonia the other day , and is not expected to live , " said a mem- bjrof tlio palico force to Sadie McBrldo as she was at the city jail yesterday af ternoon preparing to leave the city under the escort of Agent James , of the Law and Order League. "I'll not go near him , " said the sad eyed Sadie , "and what's more , vou needn't bo afraid that ammonia will kill him at all. Don't I remember when ho tried to commit suicide once , but lauda num wouldn't ' have any ellect upon him. " "Yes , we've heard Billy's side of that " said " lot's hear story , n cop , "now .vouvs. " "Well , bo after keeping your tongue quiet there. Mike , and I'll toll you the straight of it. You sec , Billy anil I were living dowi on Eleventh street and had the house fitted up in good shape. Biily was working way out on North Sixteenth street , and do you know lie wouldn't carry his dinner with him. Ho was so proud of mo he used to make mo carry liis dinner to him every day so I could show myself oft" . I got tired of this , as the weather was fearful hot and it was a long way out there , so one day when I caught Billy coming out of a saloon drunk I shook him , and refused to carri his meals to him any moro. Ho came homo that night broke and drunk , smashed all of the furniture in the house and ended by blacking my eye. I was always" a little proud , you Know , and when Billy didn't want mo to go on tlio street , lid would give me a black eye that would keep mo at home for a wecte. We separated after this row and I went to work for a lady on Capitol avenue. About a mouth after that 1 was coming down the street , and right at the corner of Farnam and Four teenth streets was Billy on his knees in the mud saying , 'Oh , Sadiol come back to me ; i can't live without you , ' and cry ing like a baby. Well , 1 had a reconcili ation with him , and went to living with him again. Wo had a row one after noon , and when Billy came home at night he had a bottle of laudanum. I never lot on that 1 'noticed ' him. Ilo went to bed and covered up his head , and 1 could see him drinking out of ' the bot- tlo. Pretty s > eon ho got fearfully sicic and told me he was going lo die and wanted me to drink what laudanum ho had left in the bottle , but I told him I "Wasn't as big a fool as lie was. Ho got so sick that 1 finally took pity on him and pulled him out of bed , dressed him and started down the streo { . with him to find a doctor. Wq found one and ho gave Billy some medicine and told mo to keep him walking and not let him go to sloop. It was so hot I didn't want to walk so I took him down to the river , got a boat nnd went out rowing. When we got into the middle of the river. . Billy tried to down the both of us by upsetting the boat. I pulled for the shore , landed , got Billy on my back and carried him to a pile of lumber and left him lying there on the soft side of a board. I haven't had anything to do with him since that time and won't have asain and you r\ecdn't bo afraid that a dose of ammonia will kill him either. " * I''M. C , A. Notes.

When managed judiciously , they cannot break. Wo guarantee every promise we maked with 5100,003 this bjiug in addition to the $100- 000 provided for as a Uoservo I'uml which is a more liberal provision and offer than ny ether company makes.
