Any information conccrning him will be thankfully recerved by Wright, Baldwin & Haldene, or by the sheriff, The above isthe syllabus of a ease be- fore Judge A%lesworth yesterday. The story of the case is about as follows: At- torney Sims, on behalf of the prohibition wlliance, recently filed petitions asking for injunctions against about forty saloon men, Accompanying these petitions were wits ned by A, R. Smith and John Harmsen, stating Hml\ln_\ had purchased liquors, both whisky and beer, in these plac Wright, Baldwin & Hal- dene, who arc attorneys for the saloon men, began examining into the matter. The petitions for injunctions are to come up before Judge Thornell to-morrow. It is clmmed that Smith wnd Harmsen, as shown by thier aflidavits, visited twenty-four ealoons, and got beer and whisky g ank it, or tasted it in hours, or, as it is figur drink every hour for two da l( i esti- mated that they must ve been too full to have known'w were up to. or that they must have been pretty good s themselves, One aflidavit 15 to the that they purchased drinks of Jarghansen, while Aimed, n has not been in the business l!llmll\- Another aflidavit is t they bonghtalso of John t Jramer, who saloon at No 1 Broad- 1S out of the state for a year past, I oW 11 Ves Bt These circumstances have led to the filing of an information in Justice Schurz's court charging these two men with perjury, The trouble now scems to be to find who these men are, and where they are, In order to got this informa tion proceedings were commenced to compel Mr. Sims, L. W. Tulley 0. St. John to give up any information they might possess concerning the where- abouts of these two men. Special inquiry was direeted about Snuth, — Atter trying in Justice Biggs court in yain, and ‘also mn Justice Schurz's court, 1 Judge Aylesworth, of the supe was petitioned, e granted the r<'l|\|ls( and these three were subpanad and ex- amined. There was v little to be learned. It appeared that Mr. Sims knew how he could get the men here when they were wanted, and assured Mr. Haldene “that they would be here in due time, but he did not know their present whereabouts, These men had been the rounds of the saloons and had used various devices to get a taste of liquors withont getting drunk. In most cases they watched their chance while ¢ bartender was busy making change, or otherwi ngaged, and would pour mlu the caspidores the surplus, after ting it and making sure what 1t was. ln men were paid their expenses #3 a day, the tol bill being about $60. Beyond this information, given under protest, there was little to bo had.

Bargains in Council Blufis 'nnl Omaha property et A Unton Depot. For some time past there have been numerous reports of ascheme on foot for the building of the long desired union depot 1 this city. Such an enterprise has been much discussed. It has been hoped for by all, but there has been some obstacles in the way, and some practical indifference despite the theorctical en- thusiasm. The first real move to secure the enterprise was made a matter of rec- ord yesterday.

It is reported that the railways entering the ety are all fuvorable to the enterprise, and that alt but one have expressed themselves as willing to enter heartily Into the plan. The proposed location of such & depot is not yet announced, but it is understood that the plan now is for its location near the gas works, and possibly fronting on Main street. If located anywhere in that part of the city it will be of great adva tage to the city at large, and afford ac- wm]mudauuu which the city now needs badly, —e Foster's New Catalogue. W. H.

Vexation makes the work harder for the operator, and she avoids it. Women are found to be better oper- ators then men, though boys must be em- ployed at night, and that is why the day hat of night.
