ISM IMi tJ(l.l KHTIHCATKS
In April, 1R!)S, Secretary Carlisle
suspended tho issue of gold certificates
in exchange for gold coin, says the Uee.
This was in compliance with the law,
which requires that when the free
gold in tho treasury falls below $100,-
OOO.OftO tho issue of fold certifie ites
shall bo suspended, and when this wa
done the treasury s free cold was con
siderably below the limit stated. See
retary (go has revoked the order of
Vis predeeissor and direc e 1 that gold
certificates of tho denomination of $2(1
be issued to the amount of $10,000,0(1(1
This action was induced ny the an
ticipated demand for more paper
money when tho fall crop movement
begins, tho troasury having no other
way of mooting this demand than ty
the issue of certificates in exchange
for gold coin. It is an indirect method
of attaining the object, as tho gold
certificates will not to any considerable
extent be directly employed in tradr
operations, but they will enable the
banks to rolrase greenbanke and sil
ver certificates of !-mallor denomina
tions than the gold notes. United
States Treasurer Roberts says that the
demand for currency is chiefly for
notes of smaller denominations than
820. Uy tiding gold certificates of f20
and upward the other kinds of paper
can be turned more an.l moro into de
nominations smaller, which wilt trive
some relief. The issue tf the certifi
cates wil not increase the volume of
currency, because crlu will fro into
tho treasury in exchange for them, out
it will add to the circulation of other
paper money, the place of which in
bank holdings will be taken by the cer
tificates.
It would seem that the secretary of
the treasury might judiciously have
ordered a larger issue of the gold
notes, though he can, of course,-in
crease it if the demand should call for
an increase. In the present condition
of the treasury an issue of five times
the amount of gold certificates ordered
would be justified and doubtless would
have pood results.
SCHOOL CHXSCS MATTEK.
An interesting subject for the con
s'deration of Plattsmouth parents is
the faet that the school census of this
year discloses a loss of some seven
hundred pupils of 6chool age in the
Plattsmouth city district as compared
with the census report of last year.
Coupled with the fact of a greater at
tendancat the schools of the city, this
loss in the census figures shows up aa
one of the curiosities ef the times.
The Nhws scribe hasn't got the exact
figures at hand, but is informed that
the census of last year showed the
presence in the district of somewhat
more than 2,500 children of school age.
while this year the figures given out
were only 1,7S0. Indeictidont of the
fact that thefe figures indicate a
heavy loss ot population which every
one acquaint! tt with the town and the
aearc-ity of empty houses knows is not
the oao it also means a lo:s to the
city schools of some ?12mi to the school
fund of the city from the distribution
of the permanent pchool fund-; of the
9tate, and may prove an embarrassing
factor in the payment of the 9chool
expenses. v
It eeems to TlTE News tjiat, if not
too late, the school board should at
once- proceed to have a new census
taken, and even if it is too late for ef
fective use this year the board ought
to investigate the matter and find
where the fault lies. One of two
thintrs is certain either the census
has been enormously padded hereto
fore, or the census-taker was very
derelict in this duiy this year.
Tak ng all the facts Into account, it
seems quite probable that the latter
f;:ct is the true solution of the proh
lem. Up to this year for eleven years
past the school census was takct by
D. K. liarr, while this year a new
mm was employed to dothe work, Mr.
C. S Twis-, who made such a poor
showing in his census of the Third
w ird as an as-essor, where,
it is reported, there are almost as
many voters a? there are child on i f
school age. The pub.-ic will await a
development of the real facts in this
ea-e with an interest far in excess of
its mere curiosity.
INDICATIONS Or- I'ltOSI'KK IT Y .
The popocatic p:e of the .-tae
has resorted to almost every kind of
urgutm-nl imaginable to taaKe it ap
pear that the country is not nov en
joy hip. a period of prosperity. One of
tho strongest evidences of pro pority
is found in tho mortgage records of the
different counties, and especially ie
this true ia Cass countv. The argu
ments the papers use to head this off
is that the murtirnges are satirfied by
reason of foreclosures. To show that
their statements are not founded on
facts the record of Cass county, as
shown by the books in tho office of
George A Hay. recorder of deeds,

In the case of the farm mortgages
there was ju-.-t one single foreclosure,
the amount of "shieh was $1,:65.
These figures show that the amount
of the releases was $"4,3S-5 greater
than the amount filed, and deducting

seven foreclosures, the total amount

editors of' those pessimistic heets are
obliged to dish up a certain amount of
this sort of hard-time reading matter
in order to ho'd theMr subscribers, but
if they will tell tho truih about the
mortgage record there will be but
little consolation in it fo- tin poor,
deluded creatures.

THE WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN
Heavy Ratna Has Tendency to Itrpnlr
Damage Prom Drouth.
University ok Nebraska, Lin
coln, Aug. 8. The past week has
been warm, with general heavy show
ers in tho last half of tho weoK. The
averige departure in temprrturo
has varied from 2 degrees above nor
mal in the eastern counties to 1 de
gree below in western. The maximum
temperatures were low, except on the
first three days of the week, when
they exceeded 90 degree and at many
places were 100 degrees.
The rainfall has been above normal,
except in a few southern counties,
where little or no rain fell. In a con
siderable portion of the state tho rain
fall exceeded one inch, and more than
2 inches fell at many places.
Slacking and thrashing have been
delayed some by tho wet weather of
the last half of tho weok; however,
little or no damage 1 at been done to
small grain.
Tho dry, hot weather of tho first of
the week damaged corn somewhat in
many central and eastern counties.
Tho heavy rains ddring the la6t half
of tho week were very beneficial, and
largely repaired tho damage. How
ever, the corn crop r&cciveu some per
manent injury in matt- places. Not
withstanding the slight lowering in
condition, tho prospect continues for
a large crop of corn in some counties
probably tho largest crop ever pro
duced in tho county.

In the matter of inducing sleep much
depends upon the Individual. One per
son will find a hearty meal before bed
time conducive to sleep, while another
thinks that an empty stomach is the
best plan in order to obtain sleep. A
cold bath, rubbing the hands in cold
water, a wet towel applied to the tem
ples are all helpful to a good night's
rest. Some persons think that the only
way to Insure sleep Is to fix the mind
upon some real or fancied object, while
others think that to count from one on
ward endleesly will weary the brain so
that sleep will come.

Turkey' N-lr-Male Man.
There has just died in Turkey a man
of whom the world has heard little. If
anything, yet, who was one of the most
powerful persons In the Ottoman em
pire. In station little more than a ser
vant originally, he managed through
Bheer force of character and intelli
gence to rise to the highest position of
honor and influence. His official title
when he died was Mussaib or Tuturd
chl Baschi (the man who h charge
ef his master's tobacco). But what he
really was. was the power behind the
throne. His name was Lutfi Aga. He
began his career as a servant for Mah-
mud Nedim Pasha, a grand v-lzier who
died about ten years ago. When Mah-
mud was sent Into exile to the island
Lesbos and, as usual, was deserted by
all his friends, Lutfl Aga remained
with him alone, and not only that, but
after working five years he obtained
his master's pardon and aided him so
well afterward that Mahmud had
reached the post of minister of the in
terior when he died. The sultan ap
preciated this faithfulness and wisdom
of the former servant and made him a
member of the Imperial household.
Before long Lutfl Aga had an amount
of Influence that amazed Constantino
ple, and his little official palace became
the meeting place of all the dignitaries
of the Moslem empire. So great was the
sultan's affection for him that finally
he Blept always In a room next to that
of the ruler. At the time of his death
his annual Income was at least $200,000.
THEY DISLIKE LUXURY..
Most people after struggling to get a
thing find that after all they don't
want it. The dream of poverty-stricken
writers is plenty of money, a libra
ry or study fitted out in luxury, peace
quiet, and a chance to write something
great. According to the New York
Telegraph they wouldn't he happy.
Many of our noted writers graduated
from newspaper offices and have grown
so accustomed to the constant racket
made by machines, telegraph Instru
ments and typewriters that their lux
ury and quiet paralyzps instead of in
spiring their brains.
Mark Twain used to shut himself up
for hours In his magnificently appoint
ed study at Hartford and write not a
line. In despair he would gather up
papers and pens and wander over to
Gillette's farm, hunt up a barrel In
the barn to sit on and scribble away
for dear life, while young Will Gillette
now the playwright and actor and
his boy friends were making Rome
howl In their fun. Usually Charles
Dudley Warner would be discovered
in another corner of the barn with a
pad of paper, drawn to the same noisy
and inspiring place from ni3 beauti
ful home.
Frank I.. Stanton, one of the most
prolific writers of verse In the land,
and verse that is of good quality and
which attracts notice everywhere,
writes on a pine table in the exchange
room of the paper he Is on. He Is a
marvelously rapid writer.
Bradner Matthews, when he lived In
Hartford possessed a complete and
splendid library, a broad cheery desk
elegantly fitted out everything the
literary man could desire. Did he ever
write there? Not he. Usually when
