OUR JAIL BONDS GOOD. At the opening of the January term of the supreme court a large number of decisions were rendered, one especially in which this county has considerable interest. It will be borne in mind that last, summer bon$s were voted to build a jail, the authority to issue such bonds being derived from the session 'laws of 1887. Several counties also voted bonds for court houses, and some of them had been registered. The question of the constitutionality of of the law having been raised, Audi tor vBabcock declined to register any more of -this class of bonds, the court house bonds of Logan county being the ones refused. A friendly case was immediately made up and submitted on stipulation. Follow ing is a syllabus of the opinion: . An pet to amend section 25 of chapter 18 of the compiled statutes of 1885 was passed and approved March 30, 1887, to take effect from date, and on the succeeding day an act was passed to amend the second division of section 25 of chapter 18 of the comniled statues of 1885. Held, that the amendment related to the section 25 as named on March 30, 1887. 2. The word "section" when re lating to an act passed by the legis lature, refers to a subdivision, and although designated in the amend atory act, division two of section 25 chapter 18, yet, being in fact a sec tion, it is not in conflict with sec tion 11 article III of the constitu tion. 3. An act will not be declared un constitutional, and void unless it is clearly so, and where an amendment is distinctly pointed out that there is no difficulty in ascertaining to what chapter it was intended to ap ply, and it is germane to the title of the act amended, ordinarily' it will e sustained. . v . -'ir? tresis.,. -T, 34 4 fi?. A NEW LEASE OF LIFE. fereon Long Granted a New Trial. Full Opinion of the Court. Saturday last the Supreme landed dowH a Assists em lotion for a itw trial m the terson Long mk. Below is the opimisp ia fall; Long vs. State. Error frost Lui- ln county. Judfsat motion for new trial snstained: and ' cause remanded for further proceed ings. 1. While the confessions or state ments of a third party not made in the presence of the accused are in- adniissable in any form in a pros ecution against a person, charged with the offense of aiding and abeting such third party in the commission of a murder, yet it is competent to prove the statements of the accused made against his own interest, in a conversation in which he is informed that a confession has been made by such third party, he being the principal indicted with the accused, but not in custody, and in such case the whole conversation between the witness and accused may be given in evidence. i a t . a witness was called ana ex amined by the prosecution. On his cross examination was asked if he had ever been convicted of a felony and sentenced to prison. He answered that he had been convict ed of the crime of forgery by the district court of Arapahoe county, Colorado, and that he served a part 1 1 i la or tne term tor wmcn ne was sen tenced when he was pardoned by the governor of that state. The conviction was also proven by other testimony to wmcn tne prosecution made" no objection, the fact being virtually admitted. On the part of the defense the record of the con viction was offered in evidence, to which objection being made, it was excluded. Held, no error, or if erroneous, it was without prejudice, the fact having been already un questionably established. -3. .Impeachment is an attack upon the present credibility of a witness; and an impeaching witness who testifies that he knows the gen eral reputation of the person at tacked tor truth and veracity, will not be excluded from giving testi mony as to such reputation at the time of the trial and permitted only to testify to the reputation of the witness at a prior time. The true auestion is what is his reputation at the time he testifies. 4. The indictment charged the murder to have been committed with '& bludgeon." The testimony left it in doubt as to whether death was produced by a blow with a bolt or a club. The court instructed the jury that if death was produced from a bludgeon, bolt or club, it would be sufficient as . to the manner of producing death. - Such instruction, was held correct 5. In criminal prosecutions the jury must be- satisfied of the de fendant's guilt beyond a reasonable" doubt -from the must not go outside of the evidence. Hence, an instruction that tne evi dence "includes not only the sworn testimony of the witnesses who, have testified, but all the circumstances surrounding: tne tragedy was er roneous. , 6. While it is doubtless advisable and perhaps better to use the statu- tory language descriptive or a crime in an instruction, yet, where words are used which convey the same meaning and import, and which cannot be misconstrued by the jury, the instruction may not thereby be rendered erroneous. 7. It is the duty of a trial court to submit to the jury by way of proper instructions such principles of law as may be applicable to the case on trial, as it appears from the evidence; and also such principle as should be applied to witnesses who are interested in the result, or whose testimony should be weighed with special care or caution, as accom plices; but it is not proper to discuss the policy of using such witnessess. This should be left to counsel in the argument. 8. The jury alone are the judges of the weight of testimony. There fore, an instruction that "evidence of good character i entitled to great weight where the evidence against the accused is weak or doubtful, but is entitled to very little weight when the proof is strong" was held to be erroneous. 9. Instructions examined togeth er and found erroneous. 10. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the law presumes every one innocent. And this legal presumption of innocence is a mat ter of evidence to the benefit of which the party accused is entitled. Garrison ys. The People, 6 Neb. 275. A point that has been overlooked generally by county commissioners in making estimate of expenses was passed upon by the supreme court this week. The decision is: "Where an account has been duly ollowed against a county, in a case where the county board has juris diction, it is the duty 'of such board to include the same in its estimates of the taxes to be levied for the en suing year, and if it fails to do so it may be compelled by mandamus to perform its duty." The Only Case on Record. The body of Archie McNill, the missing correspondent who was de tailed by the Sportsman to write up the Jiilram-bmith fight, has been found near Bologna. Marks ou the body indicate that he was murdered for the money which he was known to have on his person. This is probably the first case on record where a newspaper "mam ha bm far a is iteaey.

In the location where Hastings ought to be if she were entitled to appear, there is a void that is most humili tating to the admirers of that en terprising village. However, she never will be missed. sBeatrice Ex press. Washington, Jan. 9. A decis ion was rendered by the supreme court of the United States today in the habeas corpus case of the mayor and city council of Lincoln, Neb., who are now in the custody of the United States marshal there for contempt of the order of the United States circuit court. This court in long opinion by Justice Gray, holds that the United States circuit court, sitting as a .court of equity, has no jurisdiction whatever over criminal cases or cases involving the appointment or lemoval of state and municipal officers. The proceed ings of the federal court in Nebras ka, therefore, were from the begin ning in the nature of usurpation of the functions of the court of law and were, beyond its jurisdiction and were null and void. The retention of the mayor and city council of Lincoln in custody is illegal and they are entitled to discharge. Chief Justice Waite and Justice Harlan dissented. ADDITIONAL LOCAL Overcoats are getting quite "the thing." We have noticed a number of very fine minfcskin overcoats hat are elegant and indicate much comfort. The first building erected in North Platte in 1888 is the Second Ward Hose Co's house, which was put up this week in the rear of the Baptist church on Locust street. The manv friends of County Treas urer Osgood will be pleased to learn that he is improving and will soon be able to attend to business.

Demand for local advertising space has cut down our reading matter columns this week. Plenty of advertising matter is essential to the proprietors and beneficial to readers. The following officers of Tate Lodge No. 64, A. 0. U. W. for the year 1888, were installed last Mon day evening by Past Master Work man John Hawley, Representative of the Grand Lodge of Nebraska: Past Master Workman, G. T. Snel ling; Master Workman, J. D. Jackson; Foreman, Henry Snuff; Overseer, Patrick Walsh; Recorder, C. P. Dick; Financier, N. Klein; Receiver, John McCabe: Guide, Sylvester Friend; I. W., James E. Grace; 0. W., Robert Treacy; Trustee., for three J years, Chas, S. Clinton. The following dispatch from Gozad, dated Jan. 9th, appeared in the Omaha Bee on the 9th inst: "Last Thursday evening a farmer named Houts, living about eight miles south of here, left home to go to a neighbors. The weather was very cold and stormy and it is sur mised he lost his way. A searching Earty was formed and his frozen ody was found lying on the prairie a short distance from nome. Tracks in the snow show that he had been wandering around in a circle, and the probabilities are that he became benumbed and sank to the ground from sheer exhaustion." It was supposed there would be an advance of insurance rates on personal property after the first of Jar nary to make up for the loss by damage from water, which cuts quite a figure where they have water works. Here is an anomaly. We insure against loss or damage by fire; water prevsnts fire, but if you use it, you must pay additional in surance to cover the damage caused thereby. Thus far, however, the companies have not advanced rates, and patrons are not anxious that they should. When the readjust ment is made, there will likely be a reduction on frame buildings within the water limits. In spite of cold weather, bus iness has been pretty good with the lawyers this week, the County Court being busy all the tine. On Thurs day a aiaa aaated Thomas J. Leoa yrm arrested by City Marshal Clint. Patterson on the atreMgtk of a telegram from a jus tice of the peace at Curtis. Mr. Leon immediately applied for a writ df habeas corpus, and the proceed ings were prolonged through Thurs day and yesterday. A second tele gram from the justice stated that a warrant had been issued, and it ar rived about noon yesterday. The charge is for obtaining money by false pretence. A motion was then made to admit the accused to bail at this place. Messrs. Nesbitt and Grimes appear for the prosecution and Church & Bixler are for the defense. The reliable and ever truthful weather prophet who semi-occasion-ally furnishes reports for The Tri bune, during the early part of the week made arrangements for a fine spell of weather to be furnished for the coming two weeks. The first installment of three days came to hand all right, but for some reason on Thursda' the combination failed to work satisfactorily, resulting in the production of the most abomin able stuff imaginable. Too many cooks spoil the broth, and we be lieve too many phropets work the same way with the weather. Be tween weather prophet Neary, weather regulator Fitzgerald and prognosticator Greeley, there is not much show for a real, simon-pure A 1 bureau that never turnisnes any thing if not good. Our bureau will retire from the business in disgust. The following are the officers of Stephe"n A. Douglas Post installed Saturday by acting mustering officer J. W. Uixler: ben. Vice Commander. J. D. Jackson; Junior Vice, P. Walsh; Quartermaster Geo. Nauman; Officer of the Dav, J. E. Evans; Surgeon, G. A. Hess; Chap lain, Jas. M. Ray; Quartermaster Seret.. Win. Emerson. The com mander elect not being present, his - - . . i a i installation, together with Adjutant and Sergt. Major, was postponed until a future time. After this work was finished, the Post held a memorial service in accordance with the ritual, to commemorate the memory of lately deceased Com rade Laubenheimer. The commit tee appointed for that purpose reported the following resolutions. In the death of Comrade Jacob Laubenheimer, this post has lost one of its most loyal and true mem bers, therefore be it Resolved, That shall be draped in thirty days. That we extend to his bereaved wife and son the assurance that his comrades will ever treasure his memory, and that our love and care for the widow and orphan shall not cease while one of us remains this side of the great encampment above. That these resolutions be spread upon the records of the post and a the post hall mourning for the deceased. Comrade James M. Ray moved the adoption, of .the resolutions, and spoke very feelingly on .the subject. A. H- Church, T:C. Patterson, H. D. Rhea and J. W Bixler each, in seconding the motion, made approp riate remarks. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. CX)Mlfia6IONKBfl PBOOKEOINGS. The road petitioned for by W". C.
