Why We Die Early.

London Tid-Bits: "You have great
country" said an Englishman to an
American. 81 admit it. A grand coun-
try. vast in its territory and OF bound
less resources, but your climate cannot
compare with that Of England for salu-
brity."
1T can't?"
"Certainly not"
"Why, now, our climate is one OF the
principal things we pride ourselves
upon. We have all kinds To suit-frigid,
temperate. torrid, and each possessed
Of a salubriousness unequaled anywhere
in creation"
''But it is averred that Americans die
early"
''Die early?"
"Yes, SIR, and especially your busi-
ness men,"
sand don't you know the reason2 Is
it to be found in the nature of our eli
mate? No, sir. The reason Americans
die early is because they know when
they've got enough. Public spirited, ,
patriotic and unseltish, they die early,
sir, to make room for the rising gener-
alton.

known, honestly.
Yesterday afternoon petition was sent in
TO the county commissioners asking that
Dennis Lane be appointed constable for tho
Eighth ward. The petition recited the fact
that three weeks ago last Monday, Horen
had disappeared, and 1t was presumed that
he had left the ward and the city.
A BEE reporter at once began TO investt-
gate the cause of Mr. Horens departure,
but only found out the fact that IL was
thought he had left Omaha with about $3.50
of the money he had collected Tho head
quarters of the departed was Justice Shaw's
court, Twenty-fourth and Cunning streets.
although the gentleman, in his capacity as
constable, did work also for Justice Dunn
and Justice SAKE. From all that could be
learned it appears that Horen had collected
the sum mentioned above and with 1t
skipped.
A gentleman met him at Nebraska City
last week, and asked him what he was doing
there.
"I am looking for deserter from Fort
Omaha" he replied.
"But your friends are anxious about you."

Mrs. Horen was seen, last night and said
she had heard nothing from him for four
weeks. II do not think he has left on ac-
count Of beng short in his collections" she
said. "for the morning he went away he paid
S35 that he had collected, and If he was
going to run off with what money he could
get, he would have taken that S35 with him,
instead of paying il, as he did"

An Important Decision.


In reply to a letter received from John G.
Black, Of Harrisburg, Neb., to-day, Attor-
ney-G General Leese gives an opinion that will
doubtless be of interest to every justice of
the peace in the state, as well as many
others:
June 8, 1889.
John c. Black, Harrisburg, Neb.--Dear
Sir: In answer TO yours Of June 8, concern
ing the case OF assault and battery where a
party goes before justice Of the peace and
pleads guilty or procures an information to
be filed against him before q Justice Tor
assault and battery. il Is no bar 70 enter
complaint against the same person before
another justice for the samo offense.
Because defendant can not by his own pro-
curement, or be COLLISION with Others, have
himself brought before justice and plead
guilty to crime. The inference Of fraud
arises from such u transaction, and the
reason assigned is that the defendant tries to
avoid the effect OF complaint by the pc rs0n
assaulted.
Mr.. Bishop. in his work on criminal law,
says that in such case the state is no party In
fact, but only In name. The Judge Is i'm
defendant himself, while he holds his own
fate in his own hands, there is no former
jeopardy. The judgment 10 no bar to real
prosecution FOR the same offense.
