How A Problem was Solved.

Some of the teachers and school
board officials were much amused dur
ing the progress of the written ex-
aminations by the solution of the follow
ing problem which was handed in by q
coIored pupil. The example is correctly
solved and the scholar received one
hundred for it, but the solution of the
problem shows the droll, roundabout
way some people have of solving a
question, and of keeping the object well
in mind.
The following is the written copy:
''Solution-Number of chickens equal
number of chickens. Number of chick
ems plus one half the number of chickens
plus one-third the number of chickens
plus chickens equals 20 chickens.
Number of chickens plus the number
of chickens plus 2-6 the number of
chickens plus SO the number of chick
ems plus chickens equals 20 chickens;
then plus number of chickens plus 6
times the number of chickens plus 2
times the number of chickens plus II
chickens equal 42O chickens; times
the number of chickens plus times
the numer of chickens plus 8 times the
number of chickens equals II times the
number of chickens equals APO chickens
minus II chickens, equals IL chickens.
Seventeen times number of chickens
equals 4O8 chickens. Once number of
chickens equals "a chickens. There
fore he had "a chickens. Louisville

''Sometimes countryman comes
into the car and drops some money
into the box, expecting that the con-
ductor will take it out and give him
change. They do not know there is
an aperture for change in the door.
Some of them are so ashamed of the
ignorance that they subside when they
find out what bad break they have
made. Often on this car gold pieces
have been put in as fare in that way.
A granger once came in and threw a
four-bit piece in the box. He continued
standing and looking at me for block
or so, and then had the door opened.
He said that he wanted his change. I
tried to explain matters to him, and
told him to 60 to the Office. He would
not have that. You needn't take me
for sucker, he said in loud voice;
4 know as much as you do, and [
won't stand any of your little games.
He commenced to get violent, and SO l
proposed that he should take his
change in tickets, in order to pacify
him. To this he agreed, and Itgave
him half dozen transfer tickets, which
he could only use that day. He was no
sucker, but he took. those tickets and
sat down as if he were the smarter OF
the two" "-Driver, in San francisco
Examiner.

A great many OF the delegates to the
county convention went in evidently to
"down Canton on the the council ques-
ton, and that they were eminently sue
cessful cannot be denied. In "downlng
Canton" two years ago the people them
selves were sold out, and by their result
they are to-day paying interest on half a
million dollars worth of public buildings
in unsettled counties as compared with
Lincoln, while we are compelled to stub
along and build our own public education
al institutions without an appropriation OF
one cent from the territory. Perhaps
some day the voters of Lincoln county will
see the matter of legislatorial selection in
another light than present, but until that
time arrives our farmers must rest con-
tented with erecting their own public build
ings, and at the same time contributing
large per cent. oftheir tax to the building
and sustenance of state institutions that
are allotted to counties where the determi-
nation to ''down themselves is not SO de-
terminedly predominant.
The Canton advocate. [volume] (Canton, D.T. [S.D.]) 1877-1897, 1884-10-16

The vote in the convention on county
attorney was surprise to many who ex-
pected the nomination of NJ. E. Rudolph.
1t is reported that the successful candi-
date held some fifteen or twenty chattel
mortgages upon leading delegates from
townships that supported him, and in one
township it is said he held chattel upon
each delegate On the claims made that
coercion was practiced in this selection we
shall certainly demand proof before be-
lieving that Mr.. Brown would adopt this
method for political elevation.

In the United States court at Yankton
the Judge denied the motion for a new
trial of W. D. Russell and E. Il. Carpen-
ter, and fixed the 18th of October as the
day for sentencing the convicted PARTIES.
An appeal from this ruling has been taken
to the supreme court of the territory and
it is possible that judgment will be sus-
pended pending the decision of that tri-

should see that the final majority be over

should see that the final majority be over
whelming.
In the selection of house member the
friends of Ole Helvig feel gratifed. The
Scandinavian element will be we'll repre-
sented, and as with the council the ratifi-
cation at the polls is simply question of
majority.
There is some disaffection over certain
parts Of the ticket, but the nominations
have been made and the parties are enti-
tied to the support of the republican vo-
ters. We certainly shall be pleased to see
thorough canvass that the republican
majority may be large.
The Canton advocate. [volume] (Canton, D.T. [S.D.]) 1877-1897, 1884-10-16

The presidential campaign is practically
settled, and in favor of Blaine and Logan
at that. As in the past the October re-
suit has been received as the final one in
Ohio, and as in the past the republican
nominees are about as certain as anything
in politics generally Iare of being the next
president and yice-president of the United
States. The sweeping republican victory
of last Tuesday may be taken as an indica-
ton of the result in November, and the
hopes for democratic success are swamped.
Such is life, blue one for the democracy,
resplendent one for the republican. We
might add as a poscript that the republi-
can majority in Ohio is about 10000.
West Virginia gives reduced democratic
majority, with good prospects of turning
toward Blaine and Logan at the Novem-
Der contest. Good bye, Grover, and
farewell blasted hopes of the democracy.
