We heard a gentleman remark the other day that when hard times struck the average citizen the first thing he did was to stop his paper; the next to take hischildren from the schools, and the next to quit paying the preacher, and thus imagine be was practicing economy; and the gentleman talks the truth. Great economy, isn't it ? Kill off the preacher and let your children grow up moral savages; kill off the teacher and raise your offsprings to be hewers of wood and drawers of ; water for the children of those who havemore sense-kill off your newspaper and see your town go down, business grow stagnant, and those children whom yon have decreed to be Intellec tual and moral dwarfs, loaf around for want or employment. This is wonderful economy. Current-Voice. Governor llolcomb has approved thirty bills. Including fiire which ap propriate a total of $448,000. The sum of $250,000 being for relief, $73,000 for completion of the state university library and $125,000 for legislative ex- . penses. A large part of the latter wil probably not be required and It wil therefore revert to the .treasury. In addition to an irrigation act, the best sugar bounty measure, and other bills that have become Jaws, the governor has signed an eyen dozen proposed constitutional amendments, and elec n.rm iar fall arill tiatrA an nnnnrnttn of voting a second big sheet of paper besides the regular ballot, at the gen eral election.

Ills many friends hope for him a speedy recovery and tiiat no serious injury will terminate from the accident. Louisville Courier Journal. Beginning with April first and con tinulng for a month Uncle Sam wants every bit of mall that comes to or from the Plattsmouth postoflice weighed, and so it is with evt ry post oflice on a line of railroad in the United States, as upon the weight of the mail thus carried are the estimates made up upon which the railways are paid during the next four years. The month of April is chosen because it Is supposed to be the best average month in the year. The weight of a letter does not amount to much, but when it is taken into account that there are many tons of this matter sent or re ceived every year at or from the local postotlice, each letter cuts something of a figure. A remarkable slice of luck occurred to a Liverpool man a few years ago He was walking along a street of the great shipping headquarters when lie picked up a piece of paper which proved to be a bank note for XI, 000. He took it to a police station, and it was reported to the bank, but al though every effort was made it was never found possible to trace it to its owner, and after a considerable lapse of time the note was handed back to its lucky finder.
