Singular Properties of the Number

Singular Properties of the Number Nine.
Some curious properties in numbers have
been noticed which are well enough known
to mathematicians as the necessary result
of certain laws, but which at first appear
utterly mysterious.
The best known of these is the singular
property of the number nine, when multi
piled by any one of the digits, to reproduce
itself in the product.
Twice 8, for example, is is, and these two
figures, 8 and /, make 9. If this happened
to be one or two multiples only it would
be less marvellous but it happens to all,
with one equally remarkable exception
Nine times II equals SO, and the product
of these figures is 81: but then s plus
equals 9, so thus the law holds, but step
is interposed, and that step consists of two
mines instead of one.

paper:
Two capitalists from Rock Island, H.,
Messrs. Hurst and Guyer, have been here
for week. They were visiting South
Dakota with view to investing in some
of our productive soil. The gentlemen
were very favorably impressed with that
portion of our state which they visited,
saying they were here to examine the soil
and the general condition of the country,
and they were satisfied that none better
could be found in the northwest They
say the question of rainfall in nowise
alarmed them; that any and all states
were visited with local drouths occasion
ally, and that as large state as South
Dakota could not reasonably expect full
crop every season. While here they com
menced deal for some acre property ad-
joining the city, which will undoubtedly
be consummated within few days.
